It was no consolation, I tell you, even after Powerzone managed to clock some impressive times for the century sprint with my SR3 on Saturday. Sirazul of Powerzone was rather delighted with the numbers – quickest being 7.25s, from the previous 8.56s some months back. Way back when it was still virginal, stock with cat [...]

Captain, this planet is hostile!
In what seems to be a prequel to War of the Worlds, the R3 thread on Zerotohundred has been invaded by hostile aliens for over a week. Seemingly endless fighting between naysayers and non-believers of the R3 (Race Rally Research, Motorsports Division of Proton) movement and SR3 owners and its supporters have brought much intensity [...]
How’s that for the century sprint?
It’s come a long way since the very first impression, hasn’t it? 7.44seconds for the century sprint isn’t half bad for a stock Satria R3 either Figures posted by Prozac in Car #0006. Recorded on a GTech Pro.
Satay Celup and Life In The Gravel Pit
I looked forward to Saturday with zest and little-boy enthusiasm. Although hardly catching enough sleep due to a crazy drive down to Melaka for ‘satay celup’ the previous night and returning at 3am, my eyes were wide open in anticipation of the adrenalin rush from burning rubber at the Sepang F1 circuit. The rather spontaneous [...]
World’s First : Zero Fuel Satria R3
Days are always an adventure. Especially when you LEAST expect it. What appeared to be just another regular day, turned out to be one with a tinge of sweat, mixed with slight feeling of stupidity and embarrassment. Heh. In desperate times like this, it’s comforting to have extra hands to assist! Thanks SJ + Jase! [...]
Bad Karma
I was going to write about my recent trip to Danga Bay, Johor for the Street ShootOut 1.5 Competition. And also the attempted break-in of my Satria R3 on Saturday morning. The past couple of days has been a mish-mash of frustration, helplessness, disheartenment, adrenalin, laughter, disappointment and anger. Feel free to throw in more [...]
Kinky Harness Anyone?
Thanks to blue_hippo of the K2oC (Kenari & Kelisa Owners Club), I have a spanking new 4-point TRS seatbelt racing harness to keep my butt firmly in place during those fast 2G sweeping corners. Have been looking for a harness for some time, and was actually about to commit to a 2nd-hand Sabelt. Then this [...]
A Typical Petrolhead Saturday
What do 3 petrolhead friends do on a Saturday? Why, we drive, we drink lots of teh tarik, we mod our cars, we dyno and we go home of course! Canken’s Putra STi Prozac, in his Satria R3 #0006 (the first buyer of the SR3, by the way) and Canken, in his monster Promote-kitted Putra [...]
Black Stallions Invade SIC
The morning started off early as 4 Satria R3s (No.6, 7, 8 and 9) assembled at Dengkil Rest Area with Faisal (R3 Marketing) and Amin (R3 Media Manager) in their Proton Perdana Pace Car. It was quite a sight to see a small convoy of ‘Incognito Black’ hot hatches led by a fiery red Perdana [...]
Rubber Burning With Lotus Club / Track Day Tips
A total of 10 Satria R3s will be joining 20 Lotus cars for a special track day at Sepang International Circuit tomorrow morning. For most of us, except car no.6, who popped the cherry last weekend with the K-cars at the Japan K4 Grand Prix, this would be THE inaugural track day. And for the [...]
