In cases like these, most of the time people will put the blame on Proton. But when there is anything nice or good, they will say oh, because following Mitsubishi tech. I've seen enough of the blame Proton for everything kind of mentality especially among those who don't know much about cars. Like many of my friends will say Proton cars cannot last long. I ask them, how about my car? Then they reply, oh your car is different.Monkey see, Monkey do
correct, it traps glue + its acidic..... those 2 together = rust...Can only see the front. But it looks almost identical with mine. Same grill and bumper also just that I don't have the foglight.
This is so random. I heard that the reason is that the glue traps moisture which later on causes the bubbles to appear. I wonder does this happen to Satria and Putra?
I searched around at google and found out that in overseas, many Lancer CB/CC owners suffered this same problem like Wira. Even real Lancer Evolution doesn't escape this disease. Mitsubishi made an engineering mistake, Proton went and follow up...
But I thought for body work mostly local dy, engine is Mitsu only.....Monkey see, Monkey do
How to remove all the glue?
Doing it locally but follow same procedure as Mitsubishi, end up same result.But I thought for body work mostly local dy, engine is Mitsu only.....
You know those globs of plasticine like substance that holds the subframe to the hood's skin? That's the glue you have to remove. You have to forcibly scrape them off. After which, you may see traces of rust on the exposed surfaces. Best to first treat with rust converter, followed by anti-rust. Do bear in mind once they are removed, the think sheet metals that forms the subframe may vibrate
Just in case you dont know what I mean by plasticine like substance.
you removed yours?? mines like solid cement.... cant even scrape it off!! was thinking they use an angle grinder to do it or something...
Nope. I dont think I can tolerate the sound if the hood reverberates. I bought the mivec hood in hope that corroding hood wont happen again. At least not so soon, anyway
My new hood also got that kind of thing there.
Hey, don't look. Afterward spend money again. :help:
you're making an interesting point there, again! hahahaha awareness leads to confrontation leads to consumption in this caseHey, don't look. Afterward spend money again. :help:
Rust is good accessory for anti theft deterrence
Well, if want to see other people spend money, I was just looking at this thread > http://www.bmwclubmalaysia.com/newforums/index.php?/topic/32849-my-wiralution/
Same type of product but different brand. As far as I know the wira ones had problem.
Spray clear coat over the rust to keep the rust look......hhahahhahahyou're making an interesting point there, again! hahahaha awareness leads to confrontation leads to consumption in this case
my own car is not a very beautiful thing to look at now too - front bumper lid missing, both side skirts pecah at the front, scratches and dents all around. rust is one thing i haven't dug into yet. will never get to these until the "heart" and "legs" are resolved.
sho satisfying to read his restoration process, that is how i wanna spend my money too
from what im told, later batches dont seem to have the issue (agak agak post 2000).... it seems to be true, those of my kawan who owns the last batches of these cars, no rust issues (aside from those due to collisions)
