  1. Anyone driving this car? How is it? Cause it looks very nice to me. Good potential for mods (I meant engine etc mods) and can turn it into a mini powerhouse w/o anyone knowing....
  2. Wahaha....i feel so insulted for milo https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/mahathir-disappointed-over-cool-response-to-second-national-car-10536322 KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad on Monday (Jul 16) expressed disappointment that his idea for a second national car has not been well-received by the people. Dr Mahathir said he was informed that no one wanted to see another national car being developed as most of the people regarded “it was enough” having the Proton, which has been deemed to be a failure. In a posting on his blog, Dr Mahathir sarcastically remarked that “we are not qualified nor capable of having an automotive industry”. Malaysians, he said, were prepared to buy imported cars, including from China, and also get Japanese-made and German-made cars, especially those who could afford them. "I still remember the Japanese car after the war. As users, if we scratch with our fingernails, we’ll see Milo tins, but it is from these Milo tin cars that came the various models, such as Toyota, Nissan and Suzuki which we are now using. "Certainly this will not happen with Malaysia. Our car will always be made from Milo tins forever,” he said. Dr Mahathir clarified that the government had no plans to make the proposed second national car as a government-owned automotive industry He said the private sector in the country was now capable of designing, making clay models and test models, as well as produce cars on a large scale. “But, because early on we have rejected the idea of a second national car, then we will oppose all proposals to produce cars by the private sector. Certainly, the government will not have a government-owned automotive industry,” said the prime minister. Dr Mahathir said the country’s market was now full of imported cars, both of good quality and also the Milo tin type. "Produced by giant companies, they monopolise Malaysia’s car market so much so that it buried Proton. “In the end, Proton was sold to foreigners. There is no more national car, no more automotive industry. Workers, engineers, managers are also out of jobs. Everything drops. "Malaysia becomes a consumer country, padi farming country, fishing. It’s alright. This is what we want and this is what we get. Just forget about Vision 2020,” said Dr Mahathir.

  4. https://my.news.yahoo.com/proton-finally-reveals-pcc-glory-152550780.html After months of speculation and the rumour mill brewing with ridiculous expectations, Proton has finally given us some actual facts about the PCC. Proton prefers to keep a tight lip regarding information on its future vehicles. The company, like Apple prefers to keep mum until the eventual launching. In the case of the PCC however, Proton did exactly the opposite by allowing journalists into a secluded area of its Centre of Excellence building in Shah Alam – a place that the outside world rarely gets to see. Like any other automaker, Proton prefers to keep prying eyes away from models currently under development, which is the same in the case of the PCC or Proton Compact Car. The PCC, seven of them to be exact, were placed in a special storage room whose entrance was manned by two police officers and a number of Proton employees. Since the PCC has not been launched, flash photography was strictly prohibited during the reveal and Proton went through great lengths to keep it that way as even smartphones of journos had their camera lenses covered by tape and then the phones placed in plastic bags. This made me wonder, if Proton was going to show me a car or a spaceship. This much of security for the PCC? The security level there was befitting of a UFO reveal at Area 51 but, I guess Proton had its reasons. Anyway, after a brief presentation on the car, the PCC was finally revealed in all its glory. Dimensions wise this small Proton is 3,905mm long, 1,720mm wide and 1,550mm high. By comparison, the Perodua Myvi is 3690mm long, 1665mm wide and 1,545mm high, which means the PCC is a relatively bigger car than Perodua’s breadwinner. Proton says that 4 years were spent on creating the PCC at a cost of about RM500 million. This goes without saying that the national automaker is hoping for great things from this little car. Having had first hand experience with the car, I can say that quite a lot of effort was put into it, both in design and construction. The body structure utilises ultra high strength steel, the same kind used in the Preve, which makes the body rigid and able to protect occupants effectively during a crash. From the front, the contours as well as the headlights look very similar to that of the Saga FLX, while the grille and chrome pieces look akin to that of the Preve. At the rear, the PCC takes on an angular look with the tails lights and boot lid taking on prominently sharp lines, which should be to the liking of younger car buyers. When launched, the PCC will be offered with a choice of two engines, which are a newly developed 1.6-litre VVT unit and a 1.3-litre VVT one that is said to be a reworked version of the current 1.3-litre CamPro engine. Both engines will be mated to either a CVT transmission or the tried and tested 5-speed stick shift. Just like its bigger brothers, the PCC will come loaded with tech that are lightyears better than vehicles like the Saga and Savvy. For starters, manoeuvring through tight spaces won’t be an issue because the PCC is equipped with electronic power steering. Hill Hold Assist, is a feature that keeps the car from rolling back when the PCC stops on an inclination. All the driver needs to do to get going is, to step on the accelerator pedal and set off. Keeping the PCC in check are a plethora of safety systems that include 6 airbags, Antilock Braking System (ABS), Electric Stability Control (ESC), Tracton Control System (TCS), Electronic Brake Distribution(EBD) and Brake Assist. This is an impressive list of features though I’m a little skeptical about the base trim car getting everything mentioned here. Like Proton’s current line up, the PCC comes with power windows, but, what sets it apart from that of its brethren is the ability to roll the windows back down when an obstacle (your hand) prevents it from going up fully. This is a welcome feature especially for parents who are worried about their kids getting their hands injured. The system works pretty well although I have a blood shot middle finger to prove that it isn’t idiot proof. Inside, the interior is unlike anything you’ve seen from Proton, as the quality of materials used far exceed that of the Saga BLM. But what is most interesting is that, despite the car’s dimensions, the cabin offers generous legroom both for front and rear passengers. To put that into context, a driver with a height of 187cm could adjust his seat comfortably and the rear passenger of the same height, will still have more than enough legroom to remain comfortable on long journeys. But what will interest many is the addition of two USB charging outlets for your smartphone and tablet on top of the dedicated USB outlet for your thumb drive. When launched, the PCC will be offered as three variants; Standard, Executive and Premium. The 1.3-litre car will come in Standard and Executive trim levels while the 1.6-litre car will be offered as Executive and Premium variants. The Standard doesn’t come with a lot of the “bling bling” of the Premium variant and as such has to forgo many of the chrome trim pieces, DRLS, rear spoiler and a number of other trim fitments. Despite countless cleverly disguised questions thrown at the Proton team, they refused to divulge information regarding pricing but it has been understood that it will not exceed RM70,000.00 because that would cause it to encroach on territory occupied by bigger offerings. The “take home” of this entire “Top Secret” reveal was for the public to know that Perodua’s Axia isn’t the only game in town and that come 25 September 2014, the highly anticipated PCC will be launched for Malaysian car buyers. So mark that day on your calendar!
  5. Hi, i am new here. my business with my biz partner just started. And recently just bought a proton Savvy (left 6 months) to drive for short term. But I will not wait till i drive till the tail end and then exploring which other option to go for. I would probably go for cars that is left 1-2 years, something that doesn't need me to fork out too much cash and tie over for the next 1 year and once my biz become stabilized or has the ability to upgrade to better car, then we will change. OR, buy a commercial van which is way cheaper to drive thru this short period...... any expert?
  6. /against the rules here? any car owner letting off their car (2 years or less)?
  7. Just received calls from my friend - Wira 1.3M $39,988! Looks like now more and more car price moving below $40K mark
  8. Aircon blower stopped functioning for a while and then on again. Thankfully the car has a front and rear blower. When I checked the fuse box, the 35A front blower fuse is quite badly burnt. Normal below 25A fuse can find easily. This 35A fuse is rather unique. Where can we find a 35A fuse? Thank you.

  10. Geely Holding, the owner of Volvo and Geely Automotive have agreed to to buy Proton from DRB-Hicom, beating rival bidder PSA Group. Geely is said to have bought 49 percent of Proton, according to Reuters. Details of the deal remain unknown as DRB-Hicom could not be reached as of press time. Other than the PSA Group which owns Citroen and Peugeot, Renault and Suzuki have also been rumored to bid for Proton. Proton is said to have two manufacturing plants that can assemble 400,000 cars yearly but is now running far below their maximum potential. With Geely's help, Proton could improve and grow itself in the neighbouring right hand drive markets, including Malaysia and India.
  11. After 18 long years, there finally is a new Proton Perdana to replace the 1995 model based on the Galant. This time they are using a 8th gen Honda Accord platform: http://paultan.org/2013/12/11/new-proton-perdana-accord/ The initial production is only for government use. When the production model comes out, it'll be a good chance for Malaysians to own an Accord at a discount. Doubt it'll ever come to Singapore though, come here become same price as real Accord.
  12. I need some help with some clarification. I've purchased a used Proton Gen 2 1.3M with the COE due on 1 August 2016 for $5500 OMV: $9,221 Original registration date: 1st August 2006 Actual ARF Paid: $10,144. Parf eligibility expiry date: 31 July 2016 Parf rebate amount: $5072 QP paid: $10,803 I need to ask if I were to de register and scrap/export my car on 22 July 2016, will that means I'm able to get back $5072 from the Parf rebate when encash? Will I need to pay LTA approved dealer for the processed of scrapping or exporting my car? And also do depreciation value take parts in the amount I can actually get back from LTA. Cause the seller wrote to me this. Buy: $5500 Min Parf: $5072 Diff: $430/3 months Depreciation lesser than $144/per month. This sounds too good to be true. Owning a car at $144 per month. Please help I need to know the actual cash that I can get back after scrapping/export my car after I de register it. I'm still new to all these. Hope for enlightenment.
  13. http://paultan.org/2011/12/22/driven-proto...st-impressions/ A turbocharged MPV!!! I feel like ripping out the engine and drop it into my Neo. Proton also drop the VVL and change it to VVT for the intake (I think it is to improve FC).
  14. To all bros using Proton Gen2,Satria Neo,Persona,Saga Blm,Exora and Preve If your engine got squeak sound especially during cold start its either your fanbelt that's need silicone spray/Belt spray or just rub a soap under the belting.For cars under 15000km its normal cause of driving under raining condition.If squeaking during you turn on a/c it's mostly your tensioner bearings that probably worn out.This applied to cars under 30000km.If continuously got squeaking then probably your belts having stress out due to over tightened or loose,You probably have to get it check asap.Campro timing belt it's best to change during 60000-70000km not 80000 as per recommend cause our engine is Alloy and generate a lot of heat compared to others especially always drive during afternoon.Campro belting and tensioner brands is also not so durable compared to japs or other makes.For engine with IAFM if occurred a knocking sound it's not tappet but its mostly the inlet manifold and canister purge valve.Get this at JB eon for under 370 rm.Most Svc Ctr will say your iafm gone case and would charge you a hefty 1150 to replace!The new manifold is slightly improved over the previous gen cause its a new hard plastic material.For IAFM without modification it's best using 50series eo ie 10W-50,5W-50 or even 15W-50.For normal Campro recommend is 15W-40 or 20W-40 and CPS its 5W-30(Exora CPS) or 10W-30..For auto cars its better use drop in stainless steel filters suchs as K&N,Simota,Works engineering or Project S.For manual can go for open pod with heat shield and better with cold air intake.Extractor recommend is 4-2-1 for auto and 4-1 for manual.4-2-1 for manual is also recommend if you want low and mid torque.Campulley etc better buy from R3 as they can remapped your ecu tally with those gadgets you install.Remember most aftermarket workshops don't really knows about Campro engine so if in doubt get an advice and do diagnose at Proton Svc Ctr before doin top overhaul of remapping your ecu.

  19. hi guys. half yearly holiday is near. wanna check for reviews n feedback for I-city at shah alam. anyone been there before? which hotel is ard this place? i'm interested in the snow walk and water theme park. looks good.
  20. This morning around 10.20 am, a black Malaysian plate proton JGP1805 suddenly stopped and reversed after it turned right into the carpark turn-in, hitting my stationary car's right bumper. Bloody faggot reversed back into the main road and drove off when I got down from my car and approached him to exchange particulars. If any bros spot this car pls let me know. Thanks.
  21. wanna seek some advice in choosing a new coat of paint, Currently is on blue but slightly toward purple; previous owner I'm not a white person as i don't like to polish the car.. Black, i tried but realized i'm a lazy bugger who will only send the car for a wash every few months.. so it look terrible Matt colors, tried and it suit me well. The only complain is that it wears and tear easily.. especially at the front bumper area where prone to stones/sands.. I read that silver cars are the best, keeping it classy, less heat and best of all, despite few months of dirt, it still look great. Red is sexy, fits the sedan but not many cars can carry Red well.. somehow, it make me fury too. I'm looking at frozen colors, in case, its not available any other colors that i could look into? please share.
