i believe after replacing the battery, we should reset the ECU either doing it with MUT or PDT. then after that the car should go back into standard setting and during this period we might encounter a bit sluggishness as the ECU is learning our driving style again. after few hundred km it should be ok.

MUT = Multi-Use Tester

it's a diagnostic handheld tool that connect to the ODBII port of the car. proton has similar tool but with less function called PDT (proton diagnostic tool if im not mostaken). most service centre got the PDT and not the MUT.

no harm making frens maa.. plus, being strayed away from LYN too long oredi

mind to tell us why? cause im using it now and to date still not experiencing any regret due to the spring.

ride and handling i guess its pretty much personal preference.
as for me, using R3 spring with stock absorber it felts a lil bit stiffer but not compromising comfort when fully loaded. it's more predictable in attacking corners and more stable as well with strut bar assistance. using 205/50/16 shoes, it leaves about 2.5cm clearence between tyre and fender.

i cant confirmed that, all i know is the OEM manufacturer for R3 spring also produced spring for waja in mass market. but the R3 version is using special spring rate as per spesified by R3. so posibbly it's the mass market version, but again, i cant confirmed that.

the 3rd party quality pretty much improved already. the first version got some gap at the headlamp but i understand that the latest revision dun have it or its not that obvious anymore.

im not sure if proreka still selling or not as it was a special arrangement with them but it's still available from R3. the original kit made from FRP (fibre-reinforced plastic), whereby u could get cheaper PU or fibre from 3rd party.

u can contact this dude from R3:

what happened futobuta?

if ur in kl probaly can send it to COE and let them diagnose that. i dun have experience with CPS model yet so dunno what kind of sound and how exactly it sound. could it possibly be the absorber or mounting? what's the previous diagnostic told u?

it would cost u around 15K or so for that, might as well u got urself GSR engine, much cheaper

it's not ur fault la, can happened to any of us. maybe ur just not so lucky got that kind of unit. previously mine got window problem, not properly alligned so got wind coming in at the driver side. solved after couple of visit to SC. but i never had that so-called "nyet nyet' sound so far. mine is 2005 4G18 manual btw.

styling is pretty much personal preference
