Just another thought of words... Hehe... ;p

Hitched a Proton Tiara !!!

Ermm. . . This is after barely a 20minutes run less than 50km/h. . .

The owner of the car here, sitting lifelessly in the backseat. . .

So, here it goes.... A day with Proton Tiara... Maybe just an hour, the rest was because of the checking by the workshop. . . ;p

Intro a bit first lar har... Proton Tiara, a local made vehicle based on the French Citreon AX. Sold nationwide by Proton itself from 1996 to 2000. Powered by a 1.1litre Citreon engine with a not so whopping 60horses to play with. If i have not remembered wrongly, the Tiara was launched with a price tag near a 1.3litre Proton Wira, which is around RM3xk. And now, after 10+years, it worth nothing but a thousand or so, market value is only RM3k and this price have been there for many years... Very useful perhaps if you want to go for the Proton eXchange program thing. . .

Amazingly, Mun's Tiara is quite clean and well taken care of, in terms of cleanliness and cleanliness only, the car looks spanking new in the inside, i am serious... With an amazing milege of only 25k km after so many donkey years... Wow... Haha... So, after admiring the clean interior and where the horn is situated, and where the boot opener is situated, off we go... For a joy ride ! Actually it's Mun's first joyride with a "P" as well... ... ... ;p

Ride comfort i can say is reasonable for a small n light car, power and handling is sufficient, seriously it doesn't deserve such a low used car value... At the 1st thought of coz... Nothing much to shout about. . . Then, the true face of a Tiara came out... It's Mun who is driving and out of a sudden... "Wey, overheat liao"... I was like... "What??? Not yet 20km also..." Lolz. . . Then we pull over and check the radiator... Fearful of a boiling fountain, we risk the car being stall middle of the road to rush to the nearest workshop... Then yea, we spend about 2hours there and the mamak beside. . .

Then lastly, the mechanic came and said, actually the radiator cap spoil already, the water will come out like urinating from the overflow hose once the engine starts and pressure builds up, so in a minute or two, the car will overheat... So unreasonable reason. . . Oh, besides that other problems i lazy to list down...

Overview... I would not say Tiara is an amazing car with superb handling and monster power to play with, but however, looking at the bright side, it can be a car that is fun to drive which is available at a bargain. But, looking at reality, talks, mechanic's experience and my 1 time experience, i personally do not think that Tiara is the car reliable enough, perhaps, if unlucky, you might have to fork out more money in maintainence & repair than the car itself !!!

Belt-ed !

New timing belt !!!

Everything has it's lifespan, for a timing belt 60,000km will be it's usual lifespan. Just changed mine couple of weeks ago... Mitsuboshi brand... Wonder why does it name so similar to the japanese well known car maker Mitsubishi??? Anyway, it's on the go for the next 60,000km again !!! Haha... ;p

Law & Cheese . . .
