Sorry can't disclose M24 R3 damper rates.. Trade secret la. Just rest assured The Prince of Drift put a lot of effort to get the damping spot on for the Satria R3. if you need further convincing join out R3 TT and maybe, if you polite enuff one of the owners might give you a ride.

The car will be out of motorsport and headed to PE... once there the waiting period is about two weeks... but i think in most cases it's only take a week... it's just paper work at PE so if your SA is efficient enough, u can get your car within a week...

u can try mutiara... according to R3 it should be a service centre for R3... but so far I think it didn't do anything other than standard service for R3... the main service centre is located at proton shah alam...

my ride is reaching the 1k km mark and its been only a week :P

nways.. when i picked up the car it was all fine but 2 days after that there is a squealing sound everytime i apply the brakes.. the kind of sound you get when the brake pads are getting thin i think.. the SA said its like that just cause its new.. did u guys get this kind of squeal or is there something that needs to be rectified?

oh for the first service.. sending it to mutiara is sufficient right? or should i go to shah alam?

Hi reedor,

There isn't an official R3 service + modifying center. Proton Motorsports in Shah Alam only caters for Satria R3s and other future R3-spec cars. You will be able to purchase R3-specs items from PE Mutiara and other selected PE outlets, but installation not included. You will have to source your own workshop/tuner to get those purchased items installed.

Hope this helps!

There is a supplementary R3 manual included. Read that and it explains how to bed-in your brakes to minimise the squeeling.

Glad you enjoy your ride.
Drive safe , and smart.

i got the R3 brochure fr Dreamcars & there is Mutiara Damansara Service Centre's address.
No.10, Jalan PJU 7/3,
Mutiara Damansara PJ isit this 1??

 

[speedking]

Then maybe it's time to upgrade your dampers and spring to R3 specs.. heheh.

BTW having ultra bling coilovers aint' the be all and end all. Properly set damping rates and settings matche to proper springs rates mattter more than that.

was wondering will R3 damper suits wira chassis?

 

[faisal]

Yes , before offfering it to the public we have also tested the M-Car R3-spec dampers on Wira, so yes it can be used. Ideally wit the R3 spring set for Wira , which is slightly different from the Satria spring set.

Actually, arrangements are being made to have parts purchased at Edar fitted at their Service Centre but installation cost will be charged.

Hey all, I've had my R3 for bout a month so since the car's already been runned in (heh), I guess I can start looking for other R3 owners. I have been invited for the R3 gathering but I haven't had a chance to go coz I'm usually stuck in office late.

For the record, my car's number 107. Kinda funny though coz apparently, there was only 20+ cars left when I ordered mine and I still ended up with #107.

My car had the misaligned boot problem, which the R3 team at Shah Alam rectified (thanks Faisal) after I called Adian to complain. On top of that, there was a slight problem with the clutch which has also been rectified. I suffer from the same dashboard rattling that some of you have, and of course the typical proton power window problem. Not only were the windows sticking, but there was also a problem with the switch and I've already voided the warranty on that coz I had to take it apart one night when my window got stuck halfway. Ah..the joys of owning a proton. Oh yeah, my brakes squeek too, and I thought it was a defect until I hear that the rest of you have the same problems.

Other than that, I love the car, handling's superb, car's a dream to drive. So anyway, how many R3 owners are there here?

Oh yeah, some of you might already know me here, used to own a Putra and I used to be the VP of the Putra Club. Technically I'm still the VP though, coz there hasn't been any new elections, haha. Another funny thing, the VP of the Putra Club driving an R3.

Cungrats bro. There are quite a few of us R3 owners here.

"misaligned boot " - do you have the knocking sound?
