Satria UK Spec

[loose_end]

my 96' Satria is a UK Spec Satria. The difference are:

1) Dual reading speedo meter. MPH is on top and more visible than KMH which is only small under the MPH numberings.

2) Also, not only the speedo meter is in MPH, the counter is also in Miles.

3) Aircond panel is different. It have "winter" button. When it turns to blue color, means you have cold air coming out and when it orange, it blows hot air.

4) Proton also installed an ABS-like brake assistant at the brake pump. But rosak already and i have removed it when i installed a new brake pump last time.

5) The dashboard panel is attached with carbon fiber like panel. Others 96' Satria is only fitted with normal black dashboard panel.

Thats only the differences. Owh yea, it comes with SRS airbag steering (4 spoke).

Hope that helps.

Hello Guys..

I don't understand the first one about the MPH and KMH..sorry

I don't have any winter buttons

I do have the carbon fiber like panel

I don't have any airbags any the steering is 3 spokes..

Haha , Seems to be My "Fake" Satria UK Spec..

Bump: Does local spec satria comes with a front strut bar ?..

the MPH and the KMH is the speedo. U'll see two numberings of two different speed empirical units. If I'm not mistaken the larger ones are the MPH. Dont be pissed yet. Try to knock on the body and compare between the sound with a local spec. If urs sounds thicker, then safely its a UK spec. :proud: I guess..

Strut bar.. I can't remember... zedz?

I don't think only UK model's have some of the function mentioned here. My 97 satria 1.3 has carbon fiber panel and SRS airbag steering. It also has this unique colour, i think it's called galaxy green and very few 97 and 98 models have it.

The 97 model for 1.6 has ABS too.

yes. my Satria have front strut bars and its written Proton on it.

I do agree with you Silverwave. I've seen alot of Satria have airbag steering and its not even UK Spec. I think the only difference between local spec and UK spec are the MPH speedo meter and the aircond panel. The rest are the same.

But i've heard that UK spec's chasis is thicker than local one because UK have this strict rules about chasis rigidity. But thats only by hearsay.. no confirmation from Proton people.

 

[ephique74]

Mine did had a thicker body. But dunno y proton dont want to put it officially on their brochures.. fishy~

 

[loose_end]

Swt , 97 and 98 got so much of additional function..My 03 only got a few of it..Sob..Thanks guys for helping me out..

I heard bout the body being thicker too and it has smtg to do with UK rules. Btw, when we purchase the car do they write whether it's local specs or UK specs?

I really wish my mum bought the 1.6GLi/1.6XLi in 97 because it has a lot of extra features(mostly minor ones but still cool).

Whether its a local or UK spec, it's a mystery... Or you can look at the chassis number. Not sure about that one though =S

Early Satria's especially the 1.6's do have a lot of features. :proud:
