thanks bro ultima

hey ur car is white color meh ?

can i join this club ~ my frend got persona ~

Aggronax pointing at ! Love Money

geran say irridescent white but u will look like silver 1... actaually it will change color

har ?

it will change to white 1 ?

if pure white, its solid white

if looks silverish, its irridescent white ;d€

I agree with you that the wind noise is very loud event at 110km/h. I notice that rear door plastic tube is not cover all, 10cm long is not covered where wind can blow in. Anyone can verify this?

Actually the engine sound is quite high as well after 100km/h. The noise is obvious compare to you driving below 100km/h. Anyone experience this as well? Or i am the one who got the faulty engine?

just went for a 4th service last Sun~
15K mileage
normal services w/o change engine oil
alignment + balancing
out side workshop
cost RM 80+, service time duration 2 hrs
hahaa..better than Proton SC

Wont this void your warranty??

share something with u guys that i did in my car.




Attached thumbnail(s)

will not void the warranty lah~
correct me if i am wrong..
just normal service mah, after the first 3 times in proton SC den can go outside workshop ady...coz Proton SC really charge alot
Although they said first 3 times service in Proton SC is free labour charge, it is still damn expensive. Even outside workshop oso no labour charge 1 lah.
Some more in Proton SC, its long Q, wait long time only my turn for the service, always need 1 day baru boleh siap my car. At out side workshop i can sit beside n c wat the foreman done on my car, chat with them n understand my car conditions... better everythg just done in 2 hrs. Satisfy!

i call proton service centre ,they said i have to go for aligment and pay my self izzit true ? Not warranty meh ???

takde.

Better go to outside do alignment..
Mine have this problem since the first day i received it, steering jerk and swerve to the left hand side..problem rectified, alignment out.

Those wear and tear parts, eg: brake pad, coolant..If you have problem related to this items..for example, brake screeching noise..they will advise to have brake pad replaced first..Of course you need to pay for brake pad.

Got a few problemswith the car, the rear view visibility is very poor ah, reverse sensor blipping is soft, steering wheel to tebal, slow catch-up speed on the highway, audio is like shit (no Rockford Fosgate ), other than that its cool . . . . . . . . . . vvroomm

I dun believe it ~ I demand to sit in ur car and test out ~

untrue!!!!! tried few times kicking vios ass revving 4-5k no problem....it beats vvti easily ...suck ass

You must step GAU GAU one and make the and maybe the VVT only having a usual driving la~~ next time try to speed the road to KLIA and see you can win those VVT or not

to feel the max power, u hav to step kaw2 as this engine is powerful at hi rpm...

ya~ and you also can feel your fuel droping very fast

eh brother, im not talking about racing lah , just that I feel its slow

wah, v4 liao ?

i havent logged in to check up .... not bad...seems our "community" increasing ... hahaha

Yea, at low RPM I feel it is quite sucks ..Maybe the body is heavy , so feel not enough power .
Sometimes carrying some friends and go slowly on the road , they say "eh, no power ah ? haha " ..
When I rev higher only can feel the power rush suddenly , and I need to press the brake sometimes if there is car infront of me . There is once also I carrying my friend , speed till near 140kmph..They say "eh,highway la..go faster la ", I tell them im on 140 already and they shocked thus see the meter to believe .

Last thing , there is a loud wind sound at the back door [ that time I sit on left back side ] when on high speed..Feel like the door not closing finish . Anyone experience it too ?

ok... next time i back ipoh i go fetch u yum cha...
listen to my stock audio with Variable Bitrate MP3 CD-RW

4K only dont worry la~ you even can run up to 6k rpm mah~~ kerokerokerokerokero
i used to press up to 5K but and it almost the destination already so didnt go up further lo, kerokerokerokerokero

Did i ask this question before?? my 2nd service is 6K and should i go to do the service at 11k? or 10k ??? as the SC confuse me they note is 10K, which mean i do the service at 4K everytime not 5K ~~

[/quote]

do it at 11k, no worry~~
and rmb that tyre alignment n balancing need to do for at least every 10k. recommended every 6k to 10k.

it sok if u over a bit like 1k or 2k mileage.....

they still accept it...

mine usually 7-8k mileage then ill go for a service

nono, i mean if i go to service at 10K which is 3rd service means that i service at 4K not 5K wo~~ isn't the service is every 5k ?? 1st is 1k 2nd 6k 3rd is 11k ????

Aiya~ actually up to ur preference de lah~ no stadard, 4K to 5K oso acceptable. some ppls 10k only service.
Europe car like BMW, Volvo, Merc 20K only service 1 time. depend on the manufacturer.
n proton, its recommended to service every 5k.
so ur service time table should be:
1k
6k
11k
16k
21k n so on~~

i get my persona hl 1 week ago. since the day i get the car, i found tat the steering wheel make noise when i turn. at first i was thinking it might be small problem... then today i bring my car to SC and check. the fm told me that it is a common prblm for persona which has airbag. it is due to the wire in the steering wheel. and the guy told me that it cant be fix??? any persona owner here facing the same prblm....help!!!! what should i do to get the noise disappear?

Is it a dragging sound as if coming from the steering rack inside the car? I also get the sound but only when the car is stationary. and even then it happens very rarely.

I have 1 uquestion. Izzit all persona's foglight is misaligned?
The foglight is more glaring then the headlamp

hhaaa...i am facing this problem also~
since i get my Persona, i seldom on the foglight unless there is no others car around or dark road.
Last time i am driving my Persona n following my friend's Kenari n Myvi, they also complaint that to me, my foglight kacau them~

and abt the noise from the steering, i did not face the problem, i think the SC ppl bluff 1 lah

but can my car receive service at other SC which is not the place i bought my car???

Added on May 24, 2008, 12:58 pmi think it is ur tyre sound....am i right... but mine comes frm the steering wheel

This post has been edited by tequila2515: May 24 2008, 12:58 PM

My Persona is base spec, so no fog lamp, later installed ORIGINAL fog lamp (RM200+ ouch) and yup its much more glaring than the headlamp, the imitation one is teruklah, use it for 2 weeks then one side rosak, the other one yup sui when rain.

Sure. As long as it's an authorize SC.

Izzit misaligned or the foglight itself brighter than headlamp?

foglight brighter than headlamp actually

nono not from the tyres. tyres making sounds against the ground is normal when stationary. but i can hear a dragging sound from inside the steering column.

but only seldom la.

u mean u turn the steering when the car is in stationary then it sounds, izzit wat u mean? the noise of my steering sounds like when u twisting the rubber

yup the fog lamp is not to say too bright it is just the angle is too high... so it disturbs ppl driving in front of you or towards you...
anyways my car is about 5 months plus and the fog lamp one bulb spoil edi... so anyways not sure wanna change and put white blubs or just change back to normal stock blubs...

opinions?

plan to get persona but the sales said solid white discontinue already
it that true?

walao, foglamp are meant to glare...it's designed to use in foggy area to let other to get atention on u....not for u to use on normal condition...if raining, u can use it..but on heavy rain only.....

headlight if more glaring than foglight, then proton should close shop edy....

OMG...how come they discontinued my fav white color...Proton is going backwards..Are they going to add pearl white color to Persona line-up?
Look at Camry, additional rm800 for pearl white color, Merc E-Class introduce pearl white somemore..

DuPont Reports Global Color Popularity Ratings for Vehicles


Painted panels showing the most popular colors in North America.

Silver is no longer the undisputed color champion of the automotive world, according to the DuPont 2007 Global Automotive Color Popularity Report. After seven years in first place, silver ran into tough competition this year with white/white pearl rising to the lead color choice for vehicles in one key region and two countries.

In North America, white/white pearl, silver and black/black effect are in a virtual tie for first, with white/white pearl narrowly taking the top spot, according to the report issued by the company’s Automotive Systems business. White overcame silver in Japan and is the decisive leader in Mexico, more than doubling the popularity of gray.

DuPont has tracked color statistics for more than 55 years and reports converging trends in color preference. This year, DuPont sees white/white pearl as a trend-shifting color, and anticipates the new black metallic and other color effects will show an increase in popularity over time. Red also continues to gain ground and is ensuring a more vividly colored outlook in nearly all segments.

“Our customers are looking at niche colors and effects, including matte finishes and warm neutrals with effect,” said Karen Surcina, Color Marketing and Technology Manager – DuPont Automotive Systems. “The rise in popularity of white/white pearl and the long reign of silver suggest that we can expect a more dramatic shift in the top color choice.”

“We are not surprised to see a proliferation of white/white pearl in DuPont’s report this year,” said Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute and author of Color: Messages and Meanings. “It follows the global trends in home furnishings, fashion, consumer products and industrial design where we’re seeing a return to white as a clarifying agent before change, a color of purity and minimalism,” Eiseman said. “White also is considered a fashion statement. The car you drive is a fashion statement, and consumer preferences for white agree. White pearl itself is a combination of many colors, allowing an ability to change, reflecting, in effect, layers of white.”

This year’s DuPont Global Color Automotive Popularity Report tracks color across vehicle segment and also reports by geographic region. New for 2007, Mexico and Brazil vehicle color popularity data are available independently. While the DuPont study is a benchmark for the automotive industry, its influence reaches beyond the automotive segment to other industries including home furnishings, consumer electronics and fashion.

u can try out works cam pulley to adjust ur engine's power band...we had adjusted it to earlier about 2.5-2.8k-6k



This post has been edited by howiechoo: May 25 2008, 12:18 PM

But if u look at gen2's foglight. It's not glaring like Persona's.
Like what bluswhitehat said, maybe the angle is too high

ya, persona foglight's angle is higher...btw, there's some salesman use the aftermarket foglight to replace the oem foglight with new car...beware...

bring powerband to lower rpm

high powerband got performance lost or not ?

What's the picture exactly? timing belt?

kcng, how's your "rempit" to fraser hill?

its show adjustable cam pulley.....

adjustable cam pulley
to adjust your cam timing...

fraser hill ar?
overslept

wow... ori campro comes with adjustable pulley 1...
hard to believe lar

errr.. that wan is aftermarket la

Adjustable cam pulley, can someone explain what's is this thing do/function actually? Means to change the original engine powerband or torque?
