WRM Quick Update…

Honestly, I still admiring the current Proton Waja look and design compared to Persona and Saga. It just that I feel it is more executive. I still remember when my father wanna buy a car at the end of the year 2000, the Waja just being launched and at that moment,the waiting list is already go up to six months..So, he settled down with Wira 1.5ℓ as the Wira 1.6ℓ has been discontinued..



Nwy the current Proton Waja is powered by CAMPRO CPS(Cam-Profile Switching)1.6 ℓ with 125 hp n 150 Nm…Price on the road is RM61888 for the manual and RM64888 for the automatic(*I think there is discount around 2k-4k for this model)…

This model is almost nearing its 10th years of production by this August…And Yes, there will be a replacement for this model..I still dun know whether they will maintain the name of the model or not coz there is internal contest ‘Namakan Proton Sedan’ among the Proton workers a few months ago..



So, lets check what is so special bout this model??



The new model will display the copy of version Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 GT but using the engine with a capacity of slightly smaller 1.8 ℓ. The price of this model is expected below RM80000…This model also is expected to be launch at the last quarter of the year(*myb in November)….

Nwy Exora Improved Version already been launched yesterday…N there is more goodies given which make it quite worth for the increase of RM1000…But if me,I would wait for Campro Turbo version…Just my 2 cents..hehe

present for us....

Starting by today, the price for petroleum products of RON 95, RON 97 and Diesel will increase by RM0.05.

So the RON95 => RM1.80 to RM1.85
RON97 => RM2.05 to RM2.10
Diesel=>RM1.70 to RM1.75

Luckily, the car that I always use still have 4/5 of fuel..N seriously, its not really worth if we fuel up for just an increase of RM0.05..Unless ur tank really almost empty..hehe…

But seriously I just wonder what is the price for Nasi lemak n Teh Tarik this morning…hmm~
Mcm2 barang akan naek~

Which one is the best fuel for you??

I already planned about this topic for a long tyme..Since I already tried most of them, so I want to give some review of it..It is just my opinion..Some people may not agree with this..but its just my 2 cents…hehe



Every fuel company tried their best in marketing their product. Different fuel companies produce different type n efficiency in petrol due to the additives in the oil..So, I’m gonna discuss which one will give you the best performance experience n the best mileage.(this is mainly with RON95)

So, this is my opinion...
1) Esso n Mobil (ExxonMobil) – Mostly, I just use RON95..They come with great performance n best mileage..Let just say it provides me the bez of both world..
2)Caltex – I tried Techron 95 n what can I say about it??superb performance n pickup even the total mileage drop a bit..(myb I press little more due to fun..hehe)
3)Petronas – Before this, I used their RON 97 product n it is really a good product coz of its performance..But the story change when they launched Primax 95, I felt less pick up n engine sound noisier..It just totally so-so only..(but still, I sometimes support local product lor)
4) BHPetrol- Infinity95 is a good product and they claimed they put double additives in fuel(double additives means less fuel rite??JK..hehe)….But in reality,I just can say the feeling of torquey acceleration is still not on par with Exxonmobil…
5) Shell- Very good brand worldwide but the product of Shell Fuelsave95 is not what I expect..I can feel the underpower feeling very much n engine struggle when going uphill..Not to say the worst mileage I ever had..

The brand i choose~
Esso/ Mobil > Caltex > Petronas /BHPetrol> Shell


This is my review from what I see, I heard n I feel from my family’s cars..

Ways in improving ur car handling...

Yesterday, I got a question from my friend asking on the way improving handling of a car. So, I take it as my first topic for the blog. Thanx We for the idea..:)

When we drive, we always feel the car like wanna turtle or have so much body roll or understeer..Ok first question, what is understeer?
I will show some picture to make it easy to understand..

Ideally, the vehicle will travel along the line marked with green dots. If the vehicle understeers, the front wheels lose traction and the vehicle tends to follow the red dotted line.
Every car has its limits but how we can made it over the limit than the standard equipment provided..
So, the answer is UPGRADING..

The things that we can do are :

1) Upgrading the size of rims..Normally people will upgrading one or two size bigger than the standard rims.. So mostly, it base on people liking..It helps in making the car more stable on the road when there is more tyre contact with the road..It is one the best and easiest solution to be done..However, due to more tyre contact n heavier rim(size bigger), it will make the fuel consumption becomes higher n less pickup…So for the right size of tyre n rim, I already provided the tyre calculator link..Make sure don’t go more 2.5% than the standard diameter from ur original current wheel..

Tyre Calculator Link



2)We can change the original spring and absorber to the sport spring and absorber or to the adjustable absorber type.This can help in reducing body roll of the car when taking a sharp corner..The cons of doing this is more bumpier ride..So, less comfortable ride when moving along uneven road and potholes..The cost of it myb around RM 1k for the sport spring and absorber and around RM 2k for the adjustable types..(i'm not really sure about this coz im not a seller and it just a quotation only)



3)The third thing is using strut bar..It helps u in reducing body roll when taking a sharp corner..The cost of it myb around RM 1k - 2k for all type of strut bar..But if ur budget is quite constraint or low,u can just apply the front strut bar and rear anti roll bar..Its quite already helpful when taking a sharp corner(different people have different view on this)..one of the famous brand is ULTRA RACING(becareful of imitation types)..


4)Provide more money on tyre change...Dun settle down for cheap tyre like Silverstone and Sime Tyres..Its only suitable for budget user..but if u really wanna go for performance or comfort,avoid this type of tyre as they are noisier,less dry n wet grip n tends to understeer more when taking a sharp corner...

So.here are a few tips in improving handling of a car..Every car has its own characteristic n limits..So, drive safe n be safe..

1 st Post...

OK..This is my first post for this blog..I am quite happy as it always be in my dream to have a blog where I can put n share everything in the automotive world…I already thinking of this since early of this year..However due to lacks of time, I postponed it first. This blog would never be the same like Paultan or MotorTrader or others websites as it focus more on sharing of information like comparison between models, review of products, tips in maintenance n many others things. I made this blog for the reason I would like to see more people who know not just about the car, but the technology behind this like safety, powertrains, transmissions n so on ..Besides, if there is anything u wanna know or ask, do drop by ur question n I’ll try to answer it..Thanx..;)

Happy Motoring from me,
