Err.. I mean after changing the abs.... If u've heard of TITAN. Handles well with comfort... Uncle Richard did improvement and R&D from time to time...that's not the question ma.. ya absorbers and everything like that can be easily produced, there's no real laws on whether or not this absorbers can or cannot be copied.. u know how it works right? company a who producers absorbers might strip down company b's absorbers and see where they can improve.. so like wise with a car, ya i don't deny persona / gen2 has a very good handling but that's all because it had the Mitsu DNA in their chassis and also the platform from mitsu which is already a well proven car on track and rallying.. My point is, why not do something better in recalling all previous batch of campro's and retrofit a new revised conrod bearing or crankshaft so that malaysians will trust and continue their support in Proton.. Like what u said earlier, ya the persona handles almost as well as a beemer but i think in the long run the beemer's engine will outlast the persona anytime.
Sorry, back to the topic. In automotive manufacturing, they need to recover the cost of the mold. However, it's not hard to improve from the previous Mitsu model. Even 4G13/15 has solid internals.
We have PAR conrod factory in Malaysia. RND is always available.
And it's how the management is of Proton is... Well, I'm not sure about this.
Okie, 1 simple example. I friend from UNITEN. His final year project was building a Open Wheel Race Car with a 4G91 engine + GB mounted behind the seat, reduced size radiator. Air intake on the head rest like F1. Whole Chasis designed by the team, of course with reference to the F1 car. Without driver car weight 600KG mild steel hollow sections + round section.
Using motorcycle springs + absorbers and design in parallel orientation on a double wishbone suspension....
Tested in Sepang. I think Mahathir's son was there. Clocked top speed 240km/h.
Everything built within RM12K
Sorry for the long stories... For the patrotism he has, he went to the national car manufacturer for an RND position... Ended up, having sent to production dept with RM1300 as fresh graduation salary... Finally, can't survive... So, he quited the job...
Just trying to say how the company appreciates tallents...
