Proton R3 model dat are love and adored - GTi R3,NEO Lotus Racing, NEO R3 RS and NEO Clubsport. The other R3 are just cosmetic(Zerokit) for Savvy, Waja, Gen 2, NEO and Inspira. Such a shame bcoz the people who was incharge of Proton post 2010 are not into cars, let alone motorsport.
@tractiontalk3 күн бұрын
All those models (except Savvy and Waja) had R3 part options sold and ready to be retrofitted. Waja and Gen2 had a slightly beefed up performance model in the MME models, though not a full-on R3 car. Apa boleh buat...business priorities have changed

@@tractiontalk everyone knew R3 is just a marketing tool for Proton to help boost the Proton brand. We are way ahead of Hyundai N cars. Regular Hyundai is still a shitbox but I'm willing to trade my 2012' Mazda MPS3 for a Hyundai i30N. I'm gonna be blunt. The problem with Proton during Tengku Mahaleel, was he isn't a popular bloke, same can be said about Tengku Djan. I can only speak for myself, I don't give a fcuk if he is an asshole, if he and his team can roll out halo Proton hot hatch, just let it be. Same goes to u, I only care about your content. No point being the nicest guy in Malaysia if u roll out shitty content. U get me? Gud, keep doing wat u are doing mate😘

Ah back when the Waja was touted as the BMW of Asia. I think I have seen the rear lamps and thought it must have been an aftermarket modification. How does the shifting and clutch feel if I may ask? Also, would you be interested in featuring a 2015 Proton iRiz 1.6 MT?
@tractiontalk26 күн бұрын
The tail lamps do look aftermarket. I imagine them having those sequential signals if sold nowadays in acc. shops. Clutch pedal is surprisingly light unlike Gen2 Campro's. Shifter is firm but not stiff unlike the Neo CPS. You could daily this car with ease. Wow an MT Iriz sounds good! But being TractionTalk, I gotta ask - is it still stock? Or you can DM me on IG @tractiontalk too instagram.com/tractiontalk?igsh=dDI3NDh0eDFrOGsw

@@tractiontalk hi there, dropped you a follow but can't message you on IG unless you follow back it seems. To answer your question, yes, it's stock as far as I know with the exception of the exhaust muffler, it's a tad loud, slight pops upon downshifting or release of the accelerator but not fire spitting (thank goodness). I think the previous owner had a botched exhaust job 😂 Drove the Neo CPS once which was "riced up" with cut springs, not quite sure what to make of it but to think it's been butchered and abused.
