So I've been a great fan and follower of Zerotohundred.com, and I've been around awhile just that I haven't really made an appearance. So here goes my introduction with some pictures of my ride ;)
I drive a Proton Satria 1.6 with a 4G92 engine. I got it when I was still in my Form 5 at the end of the year during my SPM, that is like 3 years ago. My family is loves to save money and so the best way to save money with a car was to fix it with NGV. Driving on petrol gets meto a top of 150km/h and if I am on gas then it would be about 130km/h. So there I am, driving a Proton Satria with a 70kg tank at the back of the car leaving me with no boot space at all but as a student... I have to appreciate the 8 cents per kilometer that I am getting with an auto transmission with all the ENDLESS SPRINTS and ENDLESS SWAYING IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC with the PEDAL TO THE METAL!.
Naturally as a student, what I first did was slap on bodykits and carbon fiber stickers and then dark tints. But the hunger for power could never ever be satisfied with an automatic transmission running on NGV.
The auto transmission has always been a pain in the ass for me because I was the type that would would step the pedal to the metal like every time when I got into my car. So after many gearbox overhaul, early this year it happened... My father got so pissed off with the parasitic auto gearbox and decided to change it to a manual transmission which was for me, A DREAM COME TRUE! Fuel consumption went down to a surprising 5 cents per kilometer and the power of a Manual transmission with a known pocket rocket like the Proton Satria, I was overwhelmed and the hunger for power was satisfied. I could do tire spins now and even going up to speeds of 170km/h if I am running on petrol and up to 150km/h if I am on gas. I was satisfied, for awhile but then the need to give it the RICER's touch came back to me. I had to go down to the exhaust shop to get an exhaust fixed. Naturally, if you are driving an Automatic. The advantages of an exhaust system is very limited but now I was on manual, so straight flow was the way to go. I changed the extractors to 4 to 1 stainless steel (I guess its called CAP AYAM since it wasn't branded), a full 2 inch piping, one middle bullet and at the back was a straight flow fat ass exhaust. It was a great set up because the exhaust notes kicks in at 3000rpm and anywhere below that was as silent as stock. It got my top speed moved up a little to about 185km/h for petrol and about 165km/h for gas. But the fuel consumption went from a good 5 cent per kilometer to the same old 8 cents per kilometer. The price we pay for performance.
Driving manual was a dream come true to me, and so I whacked every corners and every straights like it was my last day driving. I was in Temerloh, Pahang for my clinical posting. I was there for 1 month and I found a touge road. I would head down there every night and drove on it like a touge master. So at the end of my posting, going back down Karak Highway. Something awful happened to my car...
I was devastated with what happened but something else was in my mind, the chance of transplanting a 4G93 into that engine bay. But due to my parent's decision of keeping it affordable, all I got was a 4G92. The same heart...but with a Mitsubishi name on it instead of Proton. Anyway, since the engine was in a better condition compared to the one before. I got the chance to pour in a better engine oil, so I got Shenzo HIGH RPM Racing Oil 15W40 100% SN.
So that concludes the story of my car so far, as I am still a student so the budget is really tight. But I am planning for a better intake, better camshaft, maybe to hybrid it to a Mivec. But a story for another time as it all cost money and money don't fall from the sky. Thank you to all those that stick till the end of the post!
