My First Ride "Proton Saga Megavalve"

It was 2002, I was 21 when I got my first ride. Thanks to my Mom who invested MYR24K on a 1992 Proton Saga Megavalve. She had a 1500cc in-line 4-cylinder 12 valve engine with 5 speed manual transmission. Not to forget she was running on a carburetor.


Did some simple modification such as; front-Gabriel absorbers, rear-Tokico absorbers, hot-bits coil springs, 15" Enkei sports wheels + 205/50/15 soft compound tyres, Bendix brake pads, K&N filters, 1.8 Mitsubishi Tredia clutch set + lighten flywheel, Accel power coil, Accel plug wires, Beru 3-head plugs, 4-2-1 exhaust maifold, REMUS centre bullet, Sebring muffler, AE111 semi-bucket seats, Mitsubishi Fiore dashboard + digital speedo, Vacuum meter, Pioneer 12 disc changer, Caliber pre-amp, 3 Rockford Fosgate amplifiers, Punch components, Lanzar tweeters, 2 12" Rockford Fosgate sub-woofers, etc....

I am wondering why this car is so tough. It never caused me problems. I never encountered transmission problems or electrical problems since the day I acquired it. I took care of her and at the same time trash the hell out of her and yet she was like a dream girl every teenager would want to have as their first love.

Rough driving, long distance drives, but never failed to reach the destination. I was wondering why the cassette player(changed to a CD changer later) never broke down compared to these days CD players. This is the best car produced by PROTON, despite hearing so many problems encountered by Proton owners. I was so damn stupid to let go of her. It was my biggest mistake by giving her away due to finacial constraints. Enjoyed driving her since my Mom gave it to me for 5 years until I managed to buy my own car. Really miss you ACD 5995.
