guys no need scare, just rev it to the max. i tried reaching 7.6k rpm few times. no problem until now. so dun worry.. let the campro scream!! haha

SiuYi: haha yea. i did not do it frequently. just that sometimes have to smoke people or wanna see the engine go over the redline. hehe

just for syok only.. if really gonna race then will change gear at 5k rpm.. coz after that there's no torque increase but decrease. so is kind of pointless to go beyond 5k. haha

=.=

haha coz i did not post anything. but im here reading all the posts.

SiuYi: i've got a number long long time ago. is no. 18. but i haven't got the sticker on my car yet.

Aztechx: dun try to hard to get the car if u or ur dad are not financially able to do soon. the car will not runaway so just dun be too desperate. because u shud know that car is something that will depreciate over time so is not like investment for ur money. anyway getting a 2nd hand lmst is not too bad afterall.
For Proton's car warranty is not something like BMW's warranty. u still have to pay a lot to maintain the warranty from being void. like u have to go back to authorised or official proton service centre for scheduled servicing of ur car. All of which needs a lot of money comparing when u service ur car at any garage out there. A 2nd hand lmst doesn't necessary have the worst built quality, as for proton cars is all about luck. So if your luck is good, u will have a peace of mind with the car.

For your information, i'm drivin the new saga now. On the feb 5th, is my car's 1 year old birthday. some info about my car, the 1st month i got my car, i changed the iafm. then is ok for sometime. follow up with changing of power window switch on the driver's door. fortunately there's no problem about the power window. For all the following problems i dun remember the time i changed it anymore. In which the things that happen with my car are problem with gear oil leaking, drive shaft design faulty, trunk lamp doesn't light up, doors get detached when drivin (it doesn't open, but the place when it detects the door is close is detached, therefore the doors open warning light being light up), changin of a new gearbox and drive shaft in the end, after several attempts of repairing that brings no result to the gear oil leaking. By the way, i need to pay for the freaking gear oil everytime it finished leaking, as if that was my fault to cause it leaking. And i did pay for a oil seal which the SC suspect is the cause of leaking, again the whole tank of gear oil i have to pay again.

Therefore, getting a new proton doesn't guarantee u a problem-less car. is all depends on your luck. u might get a really nice 2nd hand lmst afterall.
Decision is yours. think thoroughly before coming to a conclusion, do not hastily make a decision just because u want a new car.
you can buy ur own car after graduate and earning your ur money. i bought this car myself as well although im still studying. Sometimes, dun expect ur parents to give you too much when they are not the rich. Let's just considered we are the less fortunate to not born in the family of rich people. haha

yea exactly, so u might want to think twice before getting the blm. coz the lmst is quite affordable to maintain. the spare parts are cheap enough and since u're not bringin ur whole family around, i guess is ok with the lmst. coz u have to realize paying the installment every month is pain in the ass.
luckily im paid my car by cash and i dun have to worry bout those installment. and interest do kills.

meanwhile, you cannot stop visualizing yourself being in a new car. determination of a person does results to the thing that person owns. so u might want to be visualizing yourself being in a new blm until the extent that it is so true just like the car is just in front of you. And then it might really happen. by how? we don't know. but it will really happen 1 day soon if ur determination to own that thing is really strong enough. It can be u strike lottery tomorrow and u just happen to have the money for the car. haha it sounds like dream but it does happen. i dun mean is just by winning lottery, it can be any way. so be focus and go towards ur goal. All the best.

tat yellow car is obviously not blm. people please take a look carefully at the rear wheel arches. our blm rear door is following the curve of the rear wheel arches and curve towards outside.
if u cant get wat i mean, just look at this picture carefully and then go observe ur car. u will definitely spot the difference.

haha ok.
hm...tat is secret. canot tell. u shud have follow us tat day to witness it if u want..lol
not sure yet..lol. but i'll try to make it if is possible.

since u have the no. plate, then show it to everyone. so that ppl can take revenge for u when any of us happen to see the car. these kind of ppl need to be 'teach' or else they will never learn.

Is FF, confirm canot drift. but u can do some powerslide.

FF meaning front wheel drive and front engine. Normally for drifting, it has to be Rear wheel drive.

haha u're welcome. just some sharing. dun say till enlightenment.
