I still hv this dinosaur lar....
My dad bought it new after launching within a week. Also getting the car within a week. Originally it's 1.8 SOHC. The car was bought under my brother name and then now my brother sold to me. Well, the registration car still under my brother name. Don't want to go to puspakom la for just only change name. Besides that want to make the registration card looks original too.
Well, there's a lot of changes had been made since the car bought over. Now the car had done over 400,000 km...
Below are the modifications being done.
1. Change to DOHC head.
2. Appearance to new wira look, sarong and skirting.
3. Respray to bit darker color.
4. Cams pulley change to adjustable
5. Lighten crank pulley.
6. Auto GB change to imported 2.0 Galant. Original GB died at around 240, 000km.
7. Change to higher compression piston.
8. Metal Gasket
and some small modification at filter box.
I agree this is one of the best proton car being made.
During the original condition, the most powerful gear at 2nd and also most powerful torque being achieved. I still remember the power at 2nd but now GB being replaced all gone but, not bad at all.
Now with 1st gear still can make my tyre spinning.
At RM76 full tank the millaege is about 400km (city driving)
480km can be achieved in highway.
It's still my daily car.
Uncountable price being paid to service since the car bought over.
