Proton Saga BLM with Audi A4 modification!


Well, actually this Proton Saga BLM just had a simple grille makeover with the Audi logo slapped on it. Along with the LED strip on the headlamp, front skirtings, and also a Audi style paint job, this Proton Saga BLM actually looks like an Audi! Maybe if you had 20/50 vision and also 3 pints of Jägerbomb this Saga would look like the real "thang"!






Proton Flip Key Remote Control Conversion






Most remote control key fobs found on newer cars (especially luxury models) such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen etc. are now flip type. Some bread and butter models do come with flip remote control keys, and I'm sure many of you would like one for your car as well!

Why would you want one? First you got to admit it looks cooler than the standard Proton Key Fob. Second,

1990s Proton Saga convertible and Proton Saga Iswara station wagon







A custom made 1990s Proton Saga convertible. Not sure if this can be categorised as a convertible as there does not seem to be any mechanism to bring up a roof. Anyone have the whole story behind this Proton Saga with its roof removed?







How about a Proton Saga Iswara station wagon? This one looks like it was nicely done! 






And another Proton Iswara convertible, but this time for

Proton Saga FL/FLX/BLM to BMW M3 E92


You have seen it all, Proton Saga BLM to Subaru Impreza WRX STI, Replica Proton R3 conversions, Proton Saga FLX Thai Expo style body kits, various insane body kit conversion and wide body kits. How about something refreshing, a Proton Saga BLM converted to a BMW M3, with a Toyota Altezza style rear? Kudos to the owner!



The real BMW M3













Very close and nicely done!




Close enough!

Proton Preve steering on other Proton cars


Proton Preve steering on other Proton cars, specifically my Proton Saga FLX! Since I bought the cheapest spec version, it came without the leather steering wheel, which gets slippery at times and feels rather uncomfortable. To get the original steering wrapped outside, I was quoted anywhere from RM350 to RM400! So instead, I got the Proton Preve leather steering wheel, at a fraction of the price

Proton Wira modified into BMW




Proton Wira to BMW 3 Series conversion. Very intense!


If you look closely, this is actually a Proton Wira and not a BMW 3 series E46! The owner somehow managed to integrate the BMW bonnet, signature BMW kidney grille, E46 bumpers, and also the 3 series head lights. However, upon closer inspection, the headlights appear to be Proton Wira headlights with shrouds and eyelids to give the

Proton Saga FLX Campro 1.3 to 1.6 conversion



Proton Campro 1.3 convert to 1.6




Do you own a 1.3-Litre Campro Proton Saga FLX, Saga BLM, Saga FL, or Satria Neo? You can actually convert the 1300CC Campro engine to 1600CC Campro and get an extra 300cc! What does this extra 300cc of Campro power bring you? Well for starters, with the Campro 1.3 convert to 1.6, you will get about 14 extra horsepower and 30Nm of torque. No replacement for

2012 Proton Saga FLX bolt on turbo




Running on a Subaru TD04. Fueling is helped a little with Works Fuel Pressure Regulator

Here is my own 2012 Proton Saga FLX bolt on turbo. Currently running without management, still able to boost up to 0.4 bar (albeit with bad fuel consumption). Saving up for a Haltech Sprint 500 standalone! To complement the power, a new semi-racing clutch will be dropped in. Next is to upgrade the brake

1500cc Proton Stingray Motorbike Concept






The Proton motorcycle concept: introducing the Proton Stingray. Built by Proton as a concept showcase, the concept took 2 months (PS: This was sometime back in 2008!). The motorbike uses a 1500cc 4 cylinder, 12 valve carburetted Mitsubishi engine found in the 1.3L Proton Wira and Proton Saga. The bike is styled towards a cruiser; at 1300kg, it should be! Top speed is 200km/h. 





The front

Used Car Review: Proton Wira


Most value for money modification platform, or just a daily ride. The Proton Wira offers unlimited potential.


Me and my brother's project car. About 200whp from a Mitsubishi 1.6-Litre 4G92 Bolt on Turbo engine.

Looking for a used sedan that is affordable and easy to maintain? The Proton Wira has decent leg room and a generous boot space. And for an aged car, the outlook is still

Proton Saga FLX 1.3 Manual Bolt on Turbo


It has a been a while; although I just got the car for around 7 months, I decided to add on a bolt on turbo system to the car.

The 1.3L Campro is running on a TD04 from a Subaru (13T if I'm not mistaken). Didn't boost much, as the management is still not installed yet. Planning to go for Works EMS! Overall the project was cost efficient and neat, running on 2 inch custom made intercooler piping

Proton Preve CFE Dyno Chart! 159bhp / 232Nm torque





This is the new Proton Preve CFE's dyno chart, as tested by RS Dyno in Puchong. If I remember correctly, their dyno machine converts the on wheel figure to on crank. The figures claimed by Proton is 140bhp and 205 Nm of torque. The dyno tested figure seems to show otherwise. Perhaps this particular unit was extra power? 

Proton Preve: Possible Quality Issues? Switch fitment




Despite being touted as the global car, with international quality standards, this viral image of the recent Proton Preve test drive shows otherwise. The passenger key lock and other indicator located on the bevel of the centre console was seen dislocated and dangling inside the dashboard. This reminds me of the old Proton Wira aircond button, where it is quite common for the button itself to
