[frecklejam]

MAKE: Proton

MODEL: S16

YEAR: 2011

LIKES: Good grip, good acceleration, economic

DISLIKES: Excessive cabin noise, the seating is weird- too tall for e the dashboard is very shallow. No window tint

FUN FACT/OTHER/MODLIST: Proton a subsidiary of Lotus- I pretty much drive a Lotus
Bought for just under 8K - couldn't get insurance because its value was 11k at the time
also came with non stock sound system.

That's awesome. I have driven the S16 (in Proton Saga guise)! Protons are usually fun little cars to have and the handling is surprisingly decent.

Oh, and Havox is right. Proton owns Lotus. Bought it back in the 90's from memory.

Dang, I'm disappointed. I think the suspension is developed by lotus a bit. So it still kinda holds true

Yeah, a lot of the Proton cars suspension are "tuned" by Lotus.

How did you afford this?????

 

[brent012]

Daddy's Toyota '86...Toyota camry 1986 that is.

Lol, were Camry's that old even sold here!? Back as a kid my parents had a silver 4th gen Cressida which I remember really well, and a crappy 3rd gen Cressy before it which I barely remember. My dad seems to have fond memories of it and likes the idea of the 1JZ and/or manual conversions.

How did you afford this?????

Dem loaded intos haha.

Very nice FD though, the body kit (lip, side skirts, bonnet and diffuser etc.) aren't really to my taste as FDs look so nice left close to stock but it does look good.

94 k20 swapped eg

Daddy's Toyota '86...

great little car... its almost like a go kart... easy to kick out too...

bit sluggish but... it would have been one hell of a car with a bit more power... been scabbing drives in my brothers one...

So jelly, agree on the bodykit though as i'm not really a fan of all the vents

gg, must go hard.

 

[FD3S88]

Thanks guys. Glad to see many petrolheads around

As for the exterior the front bumper and lip is stock. Aftermarket cosmetics were mainly the carbon bonnet, vented headlights (which serves as a function as air flows to the twin pods on the left side of the engine bay), diffusers, etc. IMO the vents are useful to dissipate heat as rotaries run extremely hot.. so it's more like an aesthetic (some hate it) and functional mod for me.

I do agree that FDs look great stock, but once the mod bugs bite you can't stop. However if I were to own a Spirit R then I'll definitely agree that the exterior should be left stock to preserve it's exclusivity.. Other than that Jap cars such as FDs are meant for people to be modded.


Amaranth95: Nice to meet another rotorhead.. The RX-8 is a great car but I'll take the FD anyday

Drifting95: Not meaning to sound boastful, but cars in Sydney are way much cheaper than in Singapore. For the price of a brand new M3 in Sydney I can only afford a Toyota Camry 2.0 in Singapore with alot of cash to spare.. http://www.sgcarmart.com/new_cars/newcars_listing.php?MOD=Toyota

 

[brent012]

All the exterior parts are still tasteful though, good to hear they are functional! Seen some unfortunate body kits before.

What are your thoughts on the 20b swaps? They seem to easily make a lot of hp, I think there are kits but from my understanding it still isn't cheap or easy lol. Is it just overkill if its not a drag car?
