@Dec 9 2004, 21:47 handsome_lala: well i haven't driven a GTI b4 so i wouldn't know the difference between them...and the only other Proton i've driven is a Wira 1.3 & the SE Wira...all i can say is the this car rocks...been driving an old Opel Astra so this is considered as an upgrade for me :lol: anyway i can't say much now since i need to get my 1st service first which is next Tuesday :D Big Baller: aiyo...dun dare lah...not really good @ racing :lol: besides...my dad'll kill me if he knew bout it :lol: edit: btw faisal...if u wanna meet up n pass me the free gift also can...juz PM me :)

I'm eager to do a comparison since I have tested a 99 GTi, a few Putras (one being YS Khong's, which was yums!) and my own Persona 1.8 sedan. Tested the GTi when I was considering a purchase a few years back. Was blown away by YS Khong's Putra - quick and handles like a dream. Had a bit of problems with first gear due to the racing clutch though...Suddenly felt so amateurish. [/b][/quote] Ah! YSK never told you how a GTi gave him a scare 2 yeras back? ;)

 

[sousuke]

icic...cool B) ...btw which number is urs?

 

[Big Baller]

there are two models registered under the Proton Motorsport Division, so that makes another 143 unaccounted for

 

[faisal]

Actually we're building 150 of which 5 are with us. 2 in Motorsports and 3 display cars. Some 7-10 cars due to be delivered this week.

Shaun, can wait or not. I'm planning to lead a convoy of M24 R3s up fraser / awana one of these weekends as gettogether/ run in drive.

Latest news - Captor has been installed. Car delayed due to self-admitted internal 'admin' error to registration. It is most likely that Monday I'd be getting my car. :)

gspot - and were you that someone who gave YS the 'scare'? :D

[prozac]

lala, how's your car? Or have you gone :wub: already hehehe

 

[handsome_lala]

Prozac, the handling is superb!! taking conners at 100km/h in 5th gear (i know wrong gear but what to do...cant go rpm 3 and above) still instills confidence!! Ride wise is good not too bumpy infact is much higher then expected.....

one con though...in my car there is a part that is poorly assembled (a plastic part is seriously protruding inwards) .. i wonder if mutiara damansara service centre can reinstall that part for me :unsure:

sure can...im actually gonna ask Glenmarie Service Centre to do up my dashboard coz its squeeking a bit ^^;;

 

[prozac]

You guys have any issues with the gearstick's sleeve falling off? My dashboard is ok so far except for a slightly tight glove compartment. There is a slight squeak from somewhere behind the clock console during idling but once I start driving it's barely noticable.

lala, I know how hard it is to keep the revs down. But once in awhile you can let the car breath a little. The trick here is to not "lug" the engine at high RPM for prolonged periods.

BTW, Faisal, any consequences (other than losing a bit of cash) for changing our oil and oil filter earlier than 1000km?

[handsome_lala]

Guys,

The Brakes are superb!! Was driving leasurely in my taman when suddenly this uncle driving perdana came out of no where....instant response from the brakes (very minimal nose dive)...Good stuff i tell you... :D

However, there is some rattling sound from the back (i suspect its the board behind, i checked but it seems ok)....it just stared yesterday evening......and the left hand front pasenger side speaker is emitting vibrating noise when a bassy song is being aired(causing the door to vibrate abit too, i think the speaker is not screwed in properly) :(

Will go to mutiara damansara SC today to make an appointment to fix all these issues...and i hope they are accomodating...after sales service counts a great deal!! :unsure:

Prozac, my gearstick's sleeve also fell off too....
