Few cars are as instrumental as the Honda Civic in threatening gas-guzzling land yachts and blowing up the whole tuned imports scene in America within a span of 50 years. In Malaysia, the Civic has always been associated with our own modification culture in both boosting VTEC power and pretending to be a Type R. Since 1972, nearly 30 million Civics have been sold in 170 countries around the globe and to call it a major success for Honda is an understatement. While the first-gen might look like a

The Proton CamPro engine, since its inception in 2004 in the Proton Gen.2, has the recognition of being the only Malaysian-developed engine to-date. That alone could have been a remarkable achievement for Proton, but there’s a catch – CamPro isn’t exactly known for its fuel consumption.
