After fresh from the oven paint job
And the best part?? I went to the boot to see if the 6 disc changer was there.... before opening the boot i was praying like hell.... and then there it is.... a 6 disc changer by Clarion. Ahhhh heaven.... and i started to get my CDs and fill the all 6 slots. And the sound system was pretty good that time.
I remember Waja was the first car to integrate/built in audio system in to the dashboard and 6 speakers setup as well.
Still maintaining the same Artic Silver paintjob
So i loved the body color and the design( i was a car design freek).... and i wasnt confindent about the driving dynamics. Back then i was 15 years old and didnt have the knowledge about any driving dynamics. And then one fine day it was tested....
I was driving along in my housing area.... there was a pot hole and there is another car came on opposite road. And i slammed on the brakes really hard and swerve to the left of the road. On the left side there is a river bank. And it handled well and stopped right on almost the edge of the river bank.
Ensure all in perfect condition
From there i started to love the car much more!!!! And after years passes by it had a major accident which caused my dad had to write off the car. But i went to dad told him i loved that car very much, and he didnt write it off..... it took quite a hard hit at the front and back.
Even in that condition the cabin shell was intact...doors managed to open and close. But both front and back pretty messed up....and months later the car came to our house again....good as new....the workshop did a pretty good job on getting back car on its original state.... bodywork done perfectly.
Fast forward to 2012....
Finally i decided to take over that Waja. So i did...
I bought my parents a brand new car and i took the Waja for my self.... from that moment begins the mods... i slowly changed the wheels.... as i remember it was 17" SSR Type C.... it looked good tho.... and slowly did some minor mods like changing the radio player, tinted the car (because my budget wasnt that great at that time) ... i tried to keep the car stock as possile... since m not a fan of bodykits....i maintained the stock outlook.... because i didnt want to mess up the looks.... that shoulder lines... that chin lines on the side of the bumpers...... even the interior is stock as well... didnt move a thing....even the seats are in original condition till now (i'll explain later why i kept that seats without changing)
And later on i changed the wheels again.... it was 15" Regamaster Evo2.... WITH second hand tyres....
So after changing the wheels i and my sister went to Subang for sending her... at that time i was doing about 170-180 ish on the highway... i was speeding because she was late for her class and i was late for work....
So as i was driving.... and then suddenly my front right tyre burst out of nowhere.... imagine i was doing 180 and the tyre gave up..... damn man... i tought i was dead.... but still the manages to stop at the road side without any casualities... it didnt jutter it didnt even move about.... slammed on brakes... stopped right away.... (the brakes was stock tho)..... and the damages was nothing that damaged rim.
Yeap thats it....
Proton Waja designed to be most stable on the road. It was one of the first cars to have Lotus ride and handling treatment. Even the engine was very underpowered but still the body and stability was pretty satisfying. Till you forgets the underpowered engine. It was that fun....
And it has all the first for the brand amenities such as... it was the first Proton to have Projector headlamps and fog lamps, buttons on steering wheels, 6 speaker setup, proper rear passenger room light, rear power socket, rear third window design, auto aircond, and not many people realise that Proton did used their steering wheels to mix match on other cars, but not Waja's... it was only used on that car.
Fast forward again, I have swapped the engine to 4g93 sohc1800cc... because the old engine has given up on me. And i slowly did modify the engine installed e-manage blue as well.... it flies man.... i almost clocked 220km/h by chasing a FD.... hahaha...
Stock as stock....
Because of my inferior driving inhad to change gearbox 3 times. And after that i kenot laaaa.... poket koyak....
And so i added front lips and r3 rear spoiler, and added H&R lowered springs. And always have my Waja with the best tyres, Bridgestone RE003s. They are amazing tyres. Well suited for heavy body like my Waja.
So, now after my both parents passed away, i never wanted sell that Waja, people came asked if i wanted to sell that, i refused their offer. One guy offered me 15k for that Waja, still i refused, because the car was maintained properly by me, and never misses oil changes and so on. Now i have another car for daily driving purpose...the Waja sits quietly in my car porch.
I will never sell that car and will let go in any circumstances.
My Pride & Joy
