should be the crank pulley..?

Added on February 12, 2009, 2:36 pmAfter owning the Persona for 1year5months, i like it very much.

The car provide plenty of grip, it can steer better or can compete with japanese rivals despite this PerSona is heavy in acceleration response.
However, my SagaBLM ride and handling is a big let down..

Anyone here replaced the standard suspension to adjustable suspension?

brand, model please and of course the price !

I'll post my zerotohundred video later..

G2 or Waja CPS manual can't make it 8secs...oopss.. more likely 10secs + -

You mean this youtube...PROTON GEN2 CPS 1.6(M) 0-180kmh clip?

Sunday cruising, have some fun on there only sometimes can meet TBS. teluk bahang speedster at there..crazy fast..
video show it's slow but in fact almost push to the limit already...PerSona brake is so spongy..have to tap the brake early, else the wheel will jam..Latio, City, Civic brakes are much more better in terms of brake feel..
the last time the ride was on 195/60/15 tyre, every corner during downhill also screech...Now the Briggy rubber provide plenty of grip, minimal wheelspin..

improvement, can't feel it. Yeap, already flush the ATF last 2months(31st-Dec-08)

i use shell and petronas because only Petronas available at PESC, other service dealer only offer SHELL.

So far the ride has been serving me well. No worry, engine will last you a long time but Not for transmission. Auto gearbox is fragile and so for manual(the clutch and synchromesh thingy).

For manual, if you throw and downshift every single speed at redline, the synchromesh worn out pretty quick thus result in metal clanking during gearchange. Wheelspinning/drift with the control of clutch...the clutch can burn even it is only race for one time.
For auto, when there's slugghish and very very slow response, slowly or later it won't shift gear at all..there's the time to replace gearbox

Campro sounds nice, fit with low and rumbling muffler it Roars like an imitation american muscle..

he's referrring to this..?

Mine bline only cd player without the so-called high tech thingy..

no mp3, no wma..no usb..no bluetooth..no aux..bla bla..haha

IAFM or non IAFM in terms of FC, i can guarantee that barely no difference..even there is, the gap is small. It' still a normal Campro..

Campro and the word Fuel saving somehow not related..prepare to fork out 10km/L(actual figure) for auto tranny.
manual tranny, no idea..

Added on February 23, 2009, 1:09 amrm63 350km., equivalent to rm0.17-0/18, highway 70%+city30% somemore.

i wonder if you do 100%town driving like us..how's the FC.

This post has been edited by ralf: Feb 23 2009, 01:09 AM

Mine oso almost same, penang town crusing, manage to do slightly over 200km.*yawn*

Here's the picture that i captured weeks ago, 9th-February.
Picture 1, mileage 22236 km
Picture2, mileage 22382 km
total travel distance = 146 km
route = 95% travel on NS highway, from Penang to Ipoh toll..
FC: Half tank gone already...

replaced the stock Osram halogen with Osram Night breaker, it is whiter than before.

Below is the before and after comparison shot(LOW BEAM). Didn't manage to capture shot for High beam because don't wanna blind the oncoming traffic/opposite lane drivers..

Will try to buy a set of Philips Xtreme power and test it out later...

although the colour temperature is less than 4k kelvin(should be close to 3500K yellow)..the osram is more towards whiteish.

At daytime, the different is obvious can see the huge different between pole light(which is yellowish) and the headlamp bulb(is whiteish)

have to pray god first if drive at nite..

Added on February 26, 2009, 3:45 pmhonestly speaking, abit worry now
.. Before bought, already do some research on this bulb colour temperature, it is less than 4K kelvin.
didn't know the result is "whiter" than i expected..

Saga BLM compare to PerSona, huge difference between both.

1.3 Campro under the Saga hood, abit underpowered...After driving it for more than 10K km, i can live with it. Agree with the handling, it doesn't grip while cornering..i would prefer Proton to make this car have longer wheelbase, shorter rearoverhang, and wider, then stiffer suspension.

The only good point about Saga BLM is---> it Brakessss better than PerSoNa !!

---

Added on February 28, 2009, 9:41 pmi found out one better way to achieve better FC for our PerSoNa, over inflate the tyre to 250-260psi
be warn that, overinflate so much, the road contact patch is smaller, barely no gripp...at Wet, sure skid and buang..

---

Added on February 28, 2009, 10:10 pmI know and understood what you mean..it's not perfect



This post has been edited by ralf: Feb 28 2009, 10:10 PM

240psi equivalent to 35kpa..abit bumpy dee..anything > 35kpa ride is harsh. I overinflate the both front and back tyre to 33-34kpa...FC, aikss..forget it, Campro isn't related to 'fuel saving'

Waja tyre is 195/55/15 wor, cannot compare. somemore ride height and suspension is stiffer. First generation Gen2 suspension is hard too..good for cornering.
Mine, downgrade to 195/55/15...can whack corner and give Wajalution a chase.

How's ur RS brake pad?

Mine mileage at 24k km, the brake screeching sound is back !! Oouuch, the Bendix only run for 3xxx km, brake scraping noise is loud..I can confirmed that PerSona brake really got problem, nothing to deal with pad
Went to Michelin tyre shop, mechanic couldn't find the root cause. the shop girl told me few Gen2 owner faced this problem, already claim the brake disc, caliper and piston but problem yet to resolved

195/55/15 radius is smaller by 2cm, so practically ride height is lower by 2cm..

yea, it is rough..i suspect it is the pad scraping with some part.
I had try to wash the caliper areas with shampoo and wheel degreaser, then rinse and dry, follow by clean away the brake dust with air pump..still the same. Strange, it is most noticeable when the pad is Hot...right?

mine still on bendix, change on 20500km, now 24000km, the "rough" noise and screeching noise are back. it drive me crazy...

It is a free feature bundled together with the car from Proton j/k

Today i finally found the sports rim centre cap for less than rm10 per piece(imitation, taiwan made) at spare parts shop !hehe..

If you want to enjoy V-POWER, better do it now..When the monkey boys on top annouce RON95 will be the mainstream..RON97 Vpower price sure gila siaoo. Remember the time where fuel price is @ rm2.70 per litre, Vpower is rm3.15 per litre..Crazzeee
Honestly speaking, i feel no difference But if Cupcai pump Vpower, i can feel the Vroom..

Yesterday i fetch my friends, they said PerSona ride is comfy, somemore praise my machine looks like showroom car(mine already 1year 6months).. *syiok sendiri*
