StefanK Supercharged February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 This is no joke. A no name car manufacturer called Proton competed with all the big guns in rally (eg. Ford, Citoren etc....) and won by a margin of 3mins....Whats even more surprising is that Proton came in 12th overall ahead in the event of even some of the far more powerful WRC cars. This is the first time Proton won in a SWRC competition. http://www.wrc.com/swrc/news/andersson-cla...home/?fid=16107 I saw Alistair McRae. The surname is just legendary. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escksu Clutched February 21, 2012 Author Share February 21, 2012 Don't talk big and act you know. I did not say me. Car manufacturers can make fast cars. Some work shop can also make your car fast provided you have money. That is why we have people modifying their cars for street racing and also track. If you want to talk, just go create your own thread and stop disturbing mine. I won't give a damm what you said in your thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought there's one other Proton that mirrors the Mit Colt (the 3-dr hatch). Or is that the Satria GTi? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKiLang 4th Gear February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 l was hoping my fren sold me his 1st gen GTi, Sg plate, but he neber Proton does make good car, especially their handling, if they could improve their interior. Parts and Mods is not difficult as their engines are very flexible. I personally rate them above the koreans in performance car production. 1st gen GTi is a solid car during the evo 7/8 era where alot of protons wears the replica evo bumpers with the big round fog lights, and rules are not so strict, every saturday night we (civics and mivec lancers) will hang out in jb ah fook kai waiting for friendly laps with them all to Carrefor and back den adjourn for supper and car wash. Theres one time infront of Perlangi traffic light, a total of about 15 sg/my cars, revving to go, scare the hell out of motorcyclists, quickly move to the side as they usually likes to line before the lights lol Those were the younger days, the proton mini limousines (6 doors) dont see it in jb and the 1.6 pickup interest me too. Saw a few of the pickups in sg. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This version din last very long. Overall look abit sissy. Satria GTi with the studded wheel arches looks more musculine. Saw couple of them up north Perak, kedah side during my last Thai road trip last month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he keeps it stock for his renovation business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
