stick it there with double tape for a few days. if u like it, keep it on. If you dont remove it. Why worry what others think?

Wuaaaaaa......... I baught it at last, V6 year 2008 last batch, SO far so gooooddddddd..... any 1 can suggest me best workshop around klang valley 2 service my car. wanna check my timing belt n oso the GB condition.... TQ.

if u are nearby PJ area, then i can recommend my fren's workshop in Taman Sri Manja, PJS3.
i can say he's an expert in Perdana, he's also driving Perdana.
i always send my car for checks and servicing to him..

Hi Guys, Just want to ask for opinion, i'm thinking to add Proton Emblem at back of my Perdana boot. asking for cosmetic opinion is it a bit "over" or just perfect since the rear is a bit empty. like this one:

It's a dumb question i know.
But have you guys seen people doing it? will it looks odd?

i personally think it looks odd.
just leave it empty/plain, ppl already know that its a Proton Perdana..

Hi guys,

Just want to ask. My Perdana suspension (Standard) feels a bit hard when cruising at normal roads. Need opinion whether if I use spring damper will improve on the suspension. And I had experience riding an executive taxi (Blue ones) around KL and i felt that the suspension is better in term of comfort. I did ask the taxi driver what kind of suspension system that he is using and he said that he changed to honda accord's spring and he use the standard absorbers like KYB. Is this possible guys?

Thanks in Advance

 

[sarled]

How old are your absorbers? Normally people say the Perdana's are too soft. Are you using ori ones?

 

[ferinkx]

Sarled, just bought 2008 Perdana from spanco (Used) for rm28k, all ori parts. absorbers age unknown. normal road if got lobang still ok. But while using DUKE highway somewhere near jalan ipoh there the suspension is somehow felt hard. But I can't forget the experience riding the blue perdana taxi, very smooth. And the driver said he changed to honda coil springs... can fit ar?

Perdana standard springs are soft and absorbers are also soft and long stroke..
i just driven my fren's 2008 Perdana, and i was very soft and sampan-like. hehe..
very different than my car. haha..
but the cornering was top notch as long as the corners are not wavy and dont have bumps.

maybe its just ur feeling or if its not, then u need to check the absorbers, maybe..

anyway, how'd u get a Spanco Perdana? u a Gov staff?

 

[sarled]

Good price for that car. Congrats.
Sorry, not very sure about the Honda springs. I guess if the diameters of the coils match then it can surely fit. One main thing is there will be a mismatch between the spring rate and the absorption so I won't recommend it because we dont have enough engineering info.

NeuroOne,Not Gov staff though, Bought from car dealer in Kajang, they got more than 20 units Spanco's Perdana 2006-2008.Overall car condition is quite good.
Cornering is nice like you said. Maybe I need to refer to Mechanic for testing. thanks.

 

[sarled]

Mind sharing which Kajang dealer? Looks good. But sorry I cant help you abt the springs.

Hello Again guys, busy shopping for my v6 cosmetics. hehehhe

Found this v6's floor mat ads in Mudah:
Carpet perdana v6 black - Car Accessories & Parts for sale Selangor - Mudah.my

You guys got any place sell it at a cheaper price? try to find at brothers but no size suits Perdana..Brother's sell something like this cheaper by rm100 but for other car ..

 

[NeuroOne]

nice and clean looking car.
i'm sure the engine also running quiet and smooth.

as for the the absorbers and spring, if u can, u try different stock standard Perdana for comparison first..
or maybe look for signs of leak on the absorbers..
the spring i dont think there would be a problem for a 4 year old springs..

what happen to your floor mat?

need advice here as my rvr engine recently got semput2 problem as like of misfiring but only happen when the engine is hot. when engine is cold one crank only it can start, but when hot it takes sometime to start. while driving also the same, the car just feel sluggish. get down from car and strong smell of fuel from the rear. change spark plug but still the same. Ill try to change the plug cable after this. anyone can loan theirs to me? any advice?
