Battousai, i'm telling the trusth,
I found that I enjoy reading the counter-part post more, compare with the first article, because, I laugh all the way, from the title til the last line.

"Proton: A serious Malaysian contender"
muahahahahahahhahahahaha. Please, forgive me.

That second article read like it was written by Proton's marketing people.

I have a friend from Turkey.

He told me Proton Cars failed miserably in his country.

One of the main problem was the car's reliability and the other was poor after-sales service.

Another friend from Australia told me Proton Satria was doing quite well in Australia at one time.

He told me Proton Arena doind quite well now because its cheap and economical to maintain compared to other pick-up vehicle.

Apparently Proton Arena mainly used by Autralian farmers & agricultural industry.

Hi, I have a Daihatsu Charade which is my everyday working car now... The engine i believe is code name: HC13

I was thinking of changing the analog speedometer to a digital ones... but i was wondering, is there a wire output at the ECU or somewhere that is a variable voltage output for the speed. Need to use this output for the mod...

any one got any idea how to check?

thanks.
