[QUOTE="riggy, post: 212014, member: 5465"] forum members, i am too old to be a boyracer..my time has come and gone. faisal, about the sr4 seats, laughable? hardly...there's still no proper justification from your end...only a shrug and saying no one will be happy even if you guys put tons of goodies. No one has come close to calculating the sum of parts and its worth. I was just doing so. Notice i also ranted about why there were no additional lightweight goodies other than the measly rear wing...... proton basher? i own a proton...love it. Just started 'bashing' (actually giving MY OPINION) which the purpose of this thread was started .You should hear some of my thoughts about some other cars being sold in malaysia. Actually....i keep hearing the phrase proton basher often, seldom hear the phrase 'perodua bashing' or that sort. i wonder why. I have to agree tg. djan did the time in the r3, but glad to see that you've actually agreed with me that the marketing ppl did a boo boo of not explaining the time that he'd make on the standard gti. R3 needs proper marketing. CF / ALU hood - Playing safe? honestly, with globalisation and such, is it such a good thing? (although 150 cars to the local market isn't global - you still gotta think big). Maybe 150 units is too little. maybe in malaysia its easy to find 'fish' out there. No offence guys who bought the r3..this comment is towards proton's marketing ppl. On thoughts about vendors controlling proton...call it common knowledge everyone who actually studies about the malaysian economy as a whole and not just about the motor industry. the pug and the pulsar - great cars for their time. Come to think of it, the original satria/ mirage came out in 1992, when those cars were in its prime. Ironic its still around compared to them. Imagine what would happen if peugeot kept upgrading their 205 till now. or nissan doing tha same to the pulsar. One thing i noticed about cars since the early 90s till now is that not much has actually changed sinces then till now when it comes to suspension. You got multi link then, and you still got multi link now. the only difference is that its the technology the manufacturers have learnt over the last decade about suspension geometry and how to set up a car.

Of course, we have to settle for the same bodyshell instead of getting a stiffer new generation one. in conclusion, the satria r3 is an effort my the motorsports div showing their seriousness in developing a product for enthusiasts. However, it boils donw to the phrase ' great concept - BUT a little lacking on the overall execution' another 2 malaysian sen worth of opinion...and note, you're all entitled to your own opinion. regards, [/QUOTE]
