Bummer man... One of the worst nightmares, you never did anything wrong and yet car suddenly...

so tuning only change the rpm shifts and not the gear ratio for auto rite? correct me if i'm wrong ... eujinee, juz wan to get ur opinion ... why u opt 4 auto instead of manual since auto not able to fully utilize CPS power

To change the ratio you need to change the gears inside the GB itself. Although MT got 5 speed, the 4th and the 5th are already in overdrive.

New Gen-2 owners !!! ...........Can i ask you sumthing, it is any discount or promotion you get when buying this car

I will get my Gen2 cps on this wednesday, and I take the Proton x-change programme but my SA agent said no any discount when taking this programme.......

p/s : thanks for CPS V2 thread for poison me to choose this car, can't waittt, but my car is already registered, just busy to go to PE..........Add me .......Gen2 CPS MT- nanbu black - WSF 55**

Welcome.

Already WSF, last yaer its WRA (jan)...

actually emdee, i feel same la.. if u check the first post of the sprints... AT for CPS also comparable with MT. its just owner personal feeling only..

if u think abt it, auto is more efficient in shifting. its electronic thus the shifting time is reduced compared to unmodified MT (dun talk abt short shifters la..)

then u have the ease of driving and focus on gf hands holding,etc

its ur preference that counts...

Yea, I'm also thinking of changing to short shifter. But worries that the arm rest will intrude my arm when shifting.

If got too any alphabets, I'm sure people would go for other states plate number.

Done major service yesterday...Cost me RM450 including ATF RM150 & labour charge RM60. My car feel super smooth now

BTW, fixed my car steering feel....The mech make mistake during alignment, so asked for a senior mech to fix it.... Now, everything feels normal again. Can take corner very fast now

any1 change fog lamp into white lamp yet? where to get? is it led?

The HID headlamp made the fog light purpose more of cosmetic only.

tunning can raise the idling rpm which is give u better pick during standstill..and ya...higher rpm shift..but 7k rpm is good enuf...usually din really reach 7k..for me 6k already hard shift it...


well..y i opt for auto??well...im travelled alot i can tell u tht..north frm border of thailand till south in singapore...there is hell alot bad traffic in every state..(ie penang bridge, kl city roads, penang islands,kuantan,ipoh slow traffic,singapore rush hour etc...)all i want is comfort wen i drive and convenient for me to travel with ease state of mind...btw..auto have cruise control..manual doesnt..ahha

power wise, 1st 2nd gear i can keep up with most tuned and modified 4g18 but 3rd and 4th abit lag in power for auto..coz the gear ratio is much more wider...

if u really want for power and peformance thn go for manual..shorter gear ratio means better pick up performance....if u just a bloke like me travel alot...get an auto...

Added on February 1, 2009, 5:41 pmagree agree. the fog lights only light up the area very very front portion in front of u... i find it not so useful (yet). maybe also coz of my seating position la... haha..

Added on February 1, 2009, 5:44 pmhehe.. short shifters will definitely need the arm rests.. u will need to mod it to bring the gear shifter higher up.since our MT are cables attached, i'm sure got ppl already start to modify it already.. btw, short shifters are not easy to handle.. very easy masuk wrong gear if first time using.. haha..

i still prefer the long throw (ori) wan..

Added on February 1, 2009, 5:47 pmby the way, wan to ask... the big big thundercat logo on the front bonnet cover.. is it made of rubber or arcylic ar? coz mine feels like rubber based and the polish must've got into it. it feel very very rough on the surface and not shiny... wat can i do about it ar? i tried to put some polish onto it hoping to remove it but so far nothing lo.. any advice?

thanks 4 ur opinion ... i'll go 4 test drive sumtime b4 april since proton got promotion till then ... get free gift with test drive ... but dun know what that gift is hehehe

yep, i got 5k discount........ but I wonder if I can have rebate or ang pau from SA, mana la tau bleh buat tukar sport rims, hehehe

I'm using short shift in my previous ride and still loves it more than current Waja shifter. Especially when combine with short clutch.

sphiroth, look forward to ur modded short shifter.. hehe.. AFAIK, short shifter really short n very very fast.. its like shifting ur palm left right only.. can be very fast movement...

Not to forget, it looks nicer too.
