ya, something like that.
Test2 only.

 

[TitanRev]

I think is to make the mounting flex less right?

Yup, was about to say the same thing. Filling up the space will be less flexible

It's the DIY method of making a solid engine mount. If you've ever seen those PU solid engine mounts they don't allow the engine to move around as much theoretically transferring all the power directly to the drivetrain. It's the 'softer' alternative to the solid steel engine mount since PU allows for some very minor flexing.

Guys, my disc are lipped. I believe this is what the symptom called as.
How long does your disc last? 50/50 hard and normal braking.
And is our OEM disc softer?

DIY for that then will need stronger materials other then window sealants....

Acherly too stiff will transfer all the vibration to inside the cabin. Sibeh uncomfortable. Window sealant is good enough man

What to do. All Persona owners at LYN.

All facts are personal experiences only. Will not be responsible for your own wrong doings.

I just realized this was made sticky. Dunno who, thanks anyway.

BTW, I have some technical news.
This is campro crankshaft defect/problem.
Regardless of modded or stock.

This is BP Chu's Neo. Acanta's.

A comparison.

From what I can gather from Drex in AutoWorld thread.

"It has nothing to do with any lighten pulley as the failure happened on
the flywheel side. The incident involves car with different degree of
modification as well as bone stock engines. I was informed that the
failure, at the moment, is affecting only 2005 batch S4PH engines."

"latest info is that the crankshaft on the new Persona is 1mm thicker than
the previous S4PE/S4PH.

One of the tuner shop in Shah Alam got a problem replacing the crank
pulley to a lightened one because that pulley is made to fit the old
crankshaft size."

Question: CPS Crankshaft of Waja thicker also?
"believably yes but i am not very sure."

And advise from TitanRev, he said MT will have more of this problem because of launches.

Saw this guy in GilaGen2. Crankshaft patah change MIVEC.
Believe is 1.8 Mivec? 8100rpm redline? Walaowehhhh...stimzzz.

My personal experiences so far with IAFM 1.6 Campro.
Campro seems to be less noisier with Bardhal fully syn 5w40, not C60, compared to Lexus 5w40. I have concluded Lexus oil is sh*t.
Update: Been using Kendall Semi Syn 10W40 <RM80. Cheap and cheerful.
Heaps better than the above 2 fully syn I have used.
And most stuffs are manufactured under UMW. Oil filters, Valve Cover...
If you do rev your car to 6500rpm, no matter occasionally or always, most probably your Valve Cover Gasket is gone at 30000km, a.k.a Seal Cam Cover, RM45 only. Silicone gaskets are available but not from Proton.
Silicone sounds good but don't dare to try yet.

Seal Cam Cover (Part number: PW810724)

Oil filters genuine ones if u peel the rubber gasket out, u will see UMW stamp on the rubber gasket.
Blue one RM12.
White one RM8.
Internet seems to say the blue one has more filter in it, as in more layers?
Blue is Service parts, white is replacement parts.

All my hands-on knowledge are from Izso and TitanRev. punk also.
And credits to this Campro DIYer as well.

More detailed questions, Drex Chan is the man.

Gasket change guide for Campro 1.3 and 1.6 IAFM.
If i'm not wrong, CPS has one or two extra lining.
If you bought it wrong, you can cut it, but not nice feeling lah right?
