have u tried rain-x

it removes grimes, tar, even hardened bugs easily

use it excessively on tough stains. but be careful not to let it get to your paintwork.

the aftermarket from proton is available, but very expensive. if u can find any oem parts, please tell

believe us, u dun want that engine

the renault engine is not suited for our climate, and is bloody expensive to maintain. plus, proton people dunno how to repair the engine

best bet is to have the car sent to tan chong ekspres auto service - nissan and renault dealer

the only good thing about the car is the drive-by-wire technology, cruise control, leather upholstery, abs, ebd, airbag

hm... the black ones look nicer. this one looks too plastic.

yeah... i'm looking forward to update the car looks on the cheap. wanna do the leather seats, the new cps 5-button, the cps hood and bumper, smoked headlamps and lastly the m5 style led rear lights...

now, only managed to get new pesona wheels, sprayed midnight silver (which i think looks the best among all oem proton wheels) to replae my bent wheels

the smoked lamps project pun belom setat. need to know whether i can use orindary hairdryer to melt the glue rather than a heatgun

i can't understand why people wanna change their old waja to the new waja?

man... first, u gotta know. the car is basically the same. just a new engine, and additional bits, which is no stellar performance nor quality

second, if rm160 per month x 12 x 9 years = ???

with the extra money, better wait for the waja replacement.

remember, the waja is a 9 year-old model already...

true. the temp gauge only measure water temp from 60C (lowest) to 120C (red line). the normal being somewhere in the middle, that is 90C. Or is it 70C. correct me if i'm wrong

ini wheels very low ya lor... the spokes are too slim and the wheels got bent even if u go through a very small pothole

i repaired my wheels twice, but when i end up banging 3 out of 4 wheels, i ditched them at rm 150 (with 60% tyres) and get myself a brand spanking new set of persona OEM wheels for RM 350 and new rubbers. solves all my problem. the wheels feel more "solid" oso. can really feel the difference during cornering - or maybe it's just me...

the price is just for the wheels. my tyres are due for change anyway, so i spent another 700 or so for a set of new tyres. my regret is getting the 55 series tyres. should have gone for the more comfortable series 60.

but s55 looks nicer though...

1. kalau ada xtra, i'm also interested, boleh?

2. saw some ppl selling the brand new OEM leather wrap (with the horrible plastic trim on top) for RM 350+ w/ airbag. very hard to find the wooden trim one nowadays. if you can find a place to do leather wrap, inform me. i'll send my wheel to them and let them do it and post back to sarawak. hahaha

my 3hp yamaha ego sips only 3sen/km of fuel... ha ha ha!

i can get around 500km with the same amount of fuel with auto (recently came back from traveling)... but that's highway driving lar...

pain in the ass also cos u have to maintain 90-100km/h speed and 2,700 - 2,800 rpm only. the road is so straight and tempting that once in a while i rev up to 160km/h...

how much did the shop take your car?

btw, u have cruise control? yours must be an export model

the waja manual says every 10k. works fine for me for the past 4 years. semi synthethic. just don't ignore the ATF (if u are on automatic).

ATF = Automatic Transmission Fluid

Added on July 21, 2009, 1:39 pmespecially during rainy days. avoid them if u can. when the tyres aquaplane, the cruise sensor will think that the car has lost speed, and will rev up. this will cause major accidents

looks like someone is advertising...

drive-by-wire technology gone nuts...

the 1.8 is very technologically advanced for a malaysian car during that time. unfortunately, they were half-baked efforts

check the solenoid valves. i had to replace 4 (D, 3, 2 L) out of 5 (R, D, 3, 2, L) valves as they were faulty early this year.

cost about RM 180+ each, exclusive of installation and new ATF


damaged float sensors or ur meter panel need to be looked at

about 7 litres for full flush

auto transmission doesn't use clutch. for 4g18p, it uses torque converter

guys

i'm itchy to replace my waja rear lamps with those m5 style ones

but i saw many variations - smoked, non smoked, eagle, all-red, some-red, all smoked, some smoked, etc

prices vary from 350 to a staggering rm 600

i'm confused. i want a red one, with clear plastic on the signal lamps. anyone selling this in the forum?
