Beehive3783 Turbocharged July 23, 2008 Share July 23, 2008 (edited) this is sort of like, old news? anyway, i dun think any PI will want to do Malaysian brands, perhaps you want to self import. but going by the self import document, it's a lengthy and troublesome process. i did consider self importing the Myvi SE before.. But the thought of going through all the procedures.. Perhaps our resident self importer Porker can do up a tutorial on self importing? *paging for Porker* Edited July 23, 2008 by Beehive3783 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtth84 1st Gear July 23, 2008 Share July 23, 2008 nothing amazing abt 125hp la. antique EG civics already hitting that kind of figure. there are many 1.5NA or 1.6NA hitting in excess of 120hp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EventH 1st Gear July 23, 2008 Share July 23, 2008 but does these EG 125hp civic pass the current emission test? That is why the current JDM type R is so amazing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beehive3783 Turbocharged July 24, 2008 Share July 24, 2008 I would say for a relatively young car maker, Proton has done well enough to make their own engine which churns out 125 horses. Of course, that figure will definitely go up if their Cam Profiling technology is a success, but currently, it's nothing but a farce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtth84 1st Gear July 24, 2008 Share July 24, 2008 why not? else how they pass the inspections? i'm sure there are emmissions test for petrol vehicles too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster 5th Gear July 24, 2008 Share July 24, 2008 Most of the jap 1.5-1.6L makes on sale now are still pushing out well below 125bhp. But gotta see the torque curve of the Campro CPS first. Seems quite promising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtth84 1st Gear July 24, 2008 Share July 24, 2008 you have to note this is the sport model. the standard model doesnt have this much power too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know kinda of strange but in Taiwan, there was a car magazine that wrote a review and compare the Gen 2 side by side with a Ford Focus 1.8L! In Taiwan, there is a following of Proton cars you know . Down there, Gen 2 is advertised to have speed exceeding 215Km/h too . Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beehive3783 Turbocharged July 28, 2008 Share July 28, 2008 Yes i know of that.. in fact the accessories for Proton over there are much nice than those in Malaysia.. If not for the sucky build quality, I would have seriously considered a Proton.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang 1st Gear August 1, 2009 Share August 1, 2009 Heard that the CPS in the new Waja is different from those Neo and Gen2 one,They tweak it to make the car faster in acceleration especially for the second batch.For newer cars its advisable to get 2nd batch as it improved over the first one..Just my 2 cent worth Pity it doesnt make it here.

Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear August 3, 2009 Share August 3, 2009 the reason why proton singapore dun wan to import this model is its poor sales...the same engine can be found in the EXORA MPV... actually the Waja model is pretty decently build...the last time they sold it here, it also came with tonnes of features such as cruise control, audio control, leather seats, alloy rims...but they also sold it pretty expensively...people walk straight to korean showroom... As for the Gen-2, i tested it 4yrs ago, or when it was first launched...the engine tuned more sporty, so you have to rev the nuts out of it just to move...(auto version tested)...the interior was pretty cramp and cheaply made though...but things have improved now... they can offer the Japanese a run for their money...but the Koreans are the market leader now, so nobody with the right mind would go for Malaysian...

Nuraizat Neutral Newbie March 30, 2010 Share March 30, 2010 the first badge of proton waja using mitsubishi 4g18, the perfomance is not bad...i once pushing it till 200km/h and the car is still stable and still can be push further...overall waja is a good car to own if u want a budget ride as its fuel consumption is amazing...way much better than toyota vios..its fuel tank can last at least 700km..once i drove from gelang patah full tank and drive up to tergganu,pahang i don,t need refuel my fuel tank until we coming back to spore,i stop at pagoh to refuel as the warning fuel sign just light up...its really save to own this car...btw now my uncle is using this car as he want to replace from me..he was interested with the fuel consumption...cheerss Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoverofCar 6th Gear March 30, 2010 Share March 30, 2010 indeed...i sat in proton many times but frankly...the engine is good ok but the body suck big time...after some years...the body like coming apart...this is something they must fix.... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
