UNREST Jeff's Proton Satria (Before & After Paint)

I have known Jeff for a few years now through a close friend.
When i first met him, there were so much accesorries-mods
on his car rather than performance or good quality show-off
looks.


Jeff is constantly busy working since the day i knew him as he
is a sous chef and qualify control chef for few famous 5-star
hotels in Malaysia.

This Proton Satria is his toy car. His project started when power
is EVERYTHING to him. From a factory N/A 1.5 SOHC then to a
N/A 1.5 DOHC and lastly to this turbocharged 2WD GSR 1.8 DOHC.
The money spent would have been a nice EVO-engined but somehow
or rather he has this exotic taste with GSRs.

He did his personal research and development to create his personal
style of modding with no doubt, more spending money and few engine
casualties. Jeff has come a long way on building his car based on what
he believed and who entrusted to build the car.

For those who are wondering, that hood is an original Ralliart fiber hood
from a track car for CA4A Mivec. Good ventilation for Jeff's setup.

For the last 1 hiatus year, he had opened his own small food business
at the same time still a sous chef in one of the 5-star hotel. He went
quiet, low-profiled and saved as much money to paint the car.

One day he called me up, with his blue colour obsession, asked me
about the colour code for the Subaru Version 8. The Mica Blue was
definitely a nice colour, but on a small car, i wondered.

Surprisingly, it turned up well. The colour is nice but it would be better
with a few more tiny mods on the car to make it stand out from the crowd.

All the best in your mods Jeff.
