Yes, perhaps one of the rarest cars on Traction Talk. I have not seen other units besides this one. Or are all the other Gen-2 and Waja MMEs all in hiding? Come forward and let's meet la!

Hello, Filipino viewer here. I've always looked at you guys across the Sulu Sea with envy. Not only does Malaysia have a domestic auto manufacturer (2 in fact, Proton and Perodua), but you guys also have a homegrown, in-house performance arm for at least one of the manufacturers, Proton's R3, which builds and sells competitive and compelling performance variants of the more pedestrian base cars. We did get Proton here in the 90s....one of the dealerships was located near my mom's office in Makati City then. I think we got Wiras and Putras, among others. Shame we didn't get the Satria or anything badged R3. I'm just beginning to learn about Malaysian hi-po cars and am currently binging your vids, this, the Satria Neo R3s, the Lotus Racing and RS, as well as old vids of Fifth Gear testing a Satria GTI at Sepang. Kinda curious too about the tiny Savvy with the R3 bits....too bad there's not much content about that anywhere, aside from brochures. 🤷♂️ Well, this comment has gone long winded now, kinda like Genting. Please keep up the good work, and may you find that Waja MME you're looking for as well as that Savvy R3 Zerokit that I am looking for.

Kumusta! What a pleasant surprise to have a fellow Southeast Asian here in a Malaysian-oriented car page. Wow I didn't know you had Protons back then...the good 'ol 90s. It must have been a weird time for you guys - 'hmm what are these weirdly-named cars doing here?'. Haha You've come to the right place to see some rarer Protons - some even hard to be seen in Malaysia itself. Their spirits have mostly been forgotten in today's downsized-engined, plastic-trim-fest, multiple-touch-screened, electrified world. We revisit them here. The very cars that were possibly our first crushes in school, and first aspirations upon starting our jobs. Waja MME and Savvy Zerokit? I might be able to find those for you, fingers crossed. In the meantime, do give this channel a follow so that you won't miss it if our luck turns out to be good. I have a good feeling about this. Salamat!

@tractiontalk I followed and clicked the bell thingy ever since The Algorithm suggested I view your Satria Neo R3 RS vid. Gotta tell ya, Malaysian cars and rare/hi-po ones at that, is a rabbit hole I don't mind falling on. 🤣 Super enjoying the content, man. Terima Kasih.

@MrBinnie824 check out the new Waja MME video. Your request came true!
@MrBinnie82413 күн бұрын
@tractiontalk yeah I just watched it! Waja looks handsome in that black paint....IMHO it presents much better than the Gen2 MME. Good vid as always. Hopefully you get to review a Proton Savvy with the R3 kit.
@tractiontalk13 күн бұрын
@MrBinnie824 Cameras really don't do them justice. The Waja is in a very, very dark purple / burgundy color that shows up better in person. Gen2 in an equally dark blue color that also gets drowned out by the cam. So another alternative is...to come to Malaysia and see it. Hahahaha

The Gen-2 MME looks so good eventhough it's stock. Kudos to the owner to keep it stock. Hoping for you to find a Waja MME owner in the future!

The mme kit actually transformed how the gen2 looks. The malaysian motor industry has some very interesting cars..the wira c99, putra 1.8 and the satria gti. Over in singapore we had the satria gti but sadly none of it survived the coe system. Very cool cars from the 90s to early 2000 era indeed

The Gen 2, the car that kickstart my passion for Proton, grew up with a Gen 2, it was my brother's, a very a early model with all beige interior😂. Now at the age of 20, managed to get myself a Satria Neo CPS with the 'spoiler tinggi' one. Restoring it back to it's former glory.

Gen2 MME is one very special car, but my choice is the CPS spec because of pure power delivery (VIM at low end, CPS at high end giving 125bhp) while MME is towards high end rpm, more raw. Again, cosmetically and aesthetically MME is still nice and may outperform CPS stock to stock on the track. But I would still go for CPS for its driveability. Don't believe? Try accelerate in 5th gear from 30kmh and no hesitation at all. All the way to 210-220.
