Does this make u rethink of the Gen2?

[Normal_aspirated]

sound lika TC-ed Gen2...........

[Srlxy]

Sorry for the late reply.

 

Yup mine is a manual.. Personally I feel that the gen2 for auto is really underpower.

 

My FC is about 13-14 km/l

Previously work in a Component Sales company supply electronics component parts to Proton's OEM company which are doing some electronics parts for Gen2. Got a conversation with one of the dept Manager and the reply from him that Proton's is cutting dowm their budget on this car and the material use for this car must be of certain pricing within Proton's budget. So, what they build is what you get. Although design is good but buy at your own risk.

can zhng. power can be better by adding more stuffs =D

[Zniper]

seriosuly..

 

i din take note of my RPM when i was doing 180km/h on the NS highway..

just for a few secs only..

 

My impression is slightly less than 5k RPM. sorry bro. was travelling in the dark. my utmost concentration was on the rd. hehe..

 

i wasn't doing 180km/h all the while la.. hehe.. like u said, new car, constantly hoveringa rnd 130 - 15okm/h thereabts. d: )

 

as for going uphill, i din push the car.. i went up quite slowly, so cant gauge. d: >

 

will post when im going genting again after its fully run-ned in.. d; >

 

new car doing 130-150km/hr?? wah, u power la...

[Sei_fei_loh]

Gen 2 is my second new car that i have accquired.

 

method of running-in is very subjective. some ppl prefer to drive it gently for the first 10k, some prefer to rev it like no tml.

 

For me, i will drive gently for the 1st 1k. after that, just drive the car normally and it served me well..

 

at least for the past 80k kilometers.

[Srlxy]

Wa bro..

Very long never see you liao leh...

[Sei_fei_loh]

yeah baby..

 

no time to go for meet-ups and moreover, gf is not as supportive as other members' wives of GFs lor.

 

if go meet up, sure kena wallop. moreover, my car so stock looking. nthing much to discuss also.

 

how's ur gen2 running? i think i need to change absorber soon. any lobang/recommendations?
