Can I join? Just got my M-Line Auto, white (finally)... location, Penang.

thank you, thank you.
actually, i've been in the thread since V1, but now only i officially got my car...
cos i booked in March, wait 6 months, then i decided to change from blue to white, so wait another month Going to collect it from Proton Edar tomorrow. So happy

hmm... i wonder what they put the IAFM for anyway? how often do ordinary ppl get to go at that speed?

haha =) true, true.
but i like my engine quiet, so i don't like revving that hard
until i can afford a mercedes benz, where i can't hear the engine at all,
this tactic will have to do for now

what's that noise?

My fc, 1st bar goes up to 31.5km,
2nd bar 105km.
Now on the 3rd bar. I'm not sure if this is normal. i wonder how far more it'll go on this tank. By the looks of it, it might not even reach 300km. It's only a 3 day old car though.
Apart from that, really happy with the car. like the performance and handling. Engine, MyVi a bit more quiet though.

U'll be amazed what u can buy for 40k in most countries (except singapore)...

fuel hike or no fuel hike, 350-380 on a full tank is really good (for this car la) for most modern cars, even 380 is considered bad, so proton really need to buck up la. sigh* this is a really nice car.
i've only done 105km and i'm already on the 2nd bar. and i really control the right foot.
but this is Penang city driving la. not much highway here. average speed is 60kph.
and, also my car hasn't broken in yet.
after break in does the fc improve by a lot? i mean, is there a really big difference?

yes, i agree with u. and as if our drivers already not slow enough, our Council still wanna put speedbumps all over some more. Pulau Pinang Darul Speedbump. and during rain right, i dunno why la, Penang drivers suddenly lose the ability to drive one. rain only sure jam.
I'm starting anti-speedbump campaign. Anybody wanna support me? Just say TAK-NAK, LOL

if i remember correctly, u do a lot of highway driving also right?

that one cannot be helped i guess. any car will face this problem at high speed.

3 only ar?

damn many lala, full stop

Boss, if FC bad means bad already one, tank size doesn't matter. Our BLM has a 40L capacity by the way. A car with a tiny tank like a kelisa can give good fuel consumption. A car with a huge tank like an old Volvo can give teruk consumption. Persona 50L i think, but persona's FC is worse than BLM of course. Compare to other cars of same size, weight and fuel tank size and see? =)
those that i can think of are hyundai accent, toyota vios and honda city. of course u can say, that's cos they're way more expensive. but still, u know. just saying. after all, the talk of the day is fuel efficiency. So, much to learn, Proton still has?

Quoted from paultan:

The Intake Air Fuel Module for the Proton Campro engine is now ready, and is only awaiting Proton’s green light to begin production. This new IAFM is a basically a variable geometry intake system, developed under a joint fast track programme which began in April 2005 by EPMB, Bosch and Proton.

We first heard of it back in October 2006 where it was still in advanced tooling stages, and ever since then everyone has been eagerly awaiting for the first Campros to roll out with the new air fuel module. The IAFM varies intake manifold length to suit different engine conditions - a short runner length for high revs and a long and narrower runner length for low revs.

If designed properly, this can enhance an engine’s torque curve and also help improve the combustion process, making the engine more fuel efficient. This is much-needed with the current Campro engine, which has rather relatively low torque at low to medium engine speeds. The IAFM can be fitted to both Campro 1.3 liter and 1.6 liter engines. The new intake manifold is made of reinforced high thermal plastic which is lighter than the current Campro’s aluminium intake manifold.


“Variable air intake is nothing new to current engine technology. It is present in many engines from other carmakers. We are just happy to be able to bring similar advancement to the Proton Campro engine. This is a team effort with our EPMB staff, Proton engineers, Bosch from Stuttgart and Melbourne and our Korean toolmakers,” said EPMB director of research and development, Zulkefli Baharuddin.

On a side note, the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace (LIMA) exhibition to be held this December from the 4th to 8th will feature a locally manufactured hovercraft powered by a Proton engine.

By the look of it, it switches on according to torque, so u don't have to rev so hard at low speeds.

they go together

sorry, sorry. internet connection real problem. yeah, i'm interested. when is it again?
i've seen this word a lot of times, and i know what ppl do during a TT, but what does TT actually stand for?

if the time is right, i'd like to. only that this month is my busy month and i'll be away for a few days too...

26.5L/235km.
that's RM67.50/235km... 100% city driving.
there was one guy in the forum complaining about the sucky fc on his gf's BLM, now i know what u feel bro.
then again, car is 1 week old, only done 250km. maybe will improve
after break-in and service. but by how much?

wahh... by so much ar? 50% of 235, that's like 130...
cool!! yay!! i look forward to my car being able to do that.

cool!!
