i think alvinz's problem is engine gasket too...
wheel bearing is wat??? explain more plz...
i realise my car also very noisy when cruising around 120kmh

where is the shop?

lol.. RED cables... im using it right now... cause my old ori cable faulty then the workshop replace the same spec with ori type...

guys. wat is the top speed for wira?

wheel bearing. its that circular thing with metal ball bearings inside de... it is for the wheels to "roll" la, dunno how to explain. that is why the "wind" sound is there only when car is moving. not very expensive la, but labor charges only lor. but still, best to ask your mech to sit inside ur car and show him, coz yours could be other problems la. mine, the sound is very obvious from the front-driver side wheel. can hear "whoooo" sound when cruising at mid-high speeds. during acceleration, not obvious maybe coz my bassy exhaust notes may have it changed along with my oil change soon.



i also want red cables! alvinz, i dun dare to spray la, just joking only. i afraid if the paint will erode the rubber!

this one, dun ask me. so far never hit that limit before eventho just stock wira
but for top speed, depends on your engine displacement/model and also 5th gear ratio gua

i see... wheel bearing same as steering wheel?
currently for handling... i only know my steering cant go straight... when driving straight road, the steering will be senget abit.... found out the culprit but havent repair..

my red cable cheap cheap only ler... around RM70 stock type..

just now i trying to go for top speed but got car infront... ended up with 160kmh... i think it still can go somemore...

no no, wheel bearing is not steering wheel
see this link bro, it describe what is a wheel bearing, and also a picture of it (albeit a small one). each wheel will have one. so unless you've modified your wira to have 6 wheels like a humvee, you can replace all 4. but usually just replace whichever that is worn la. these things last a long time de unless u hit lubang a lot.

eh your cables RM70 u still call "cheap cheap" to me, RM70 is a lot liao haha

then my mech con me lor.. seriously i told them to check then found out cable got problem..
charge me for RM70 OEM spec... then i got no choice but to take it..
actually i saw in garage sale about RM100+ abit for 9mm if i not mistaken... i plan to change thicker but i couldnt wait... as i need to use my car to college..

no, i dont mean u got charged too high, i only mean that RM70 to me cannot be called "cheap" no matter what thing it is
i poor bloke ma...

oh ok ... i will have a few test dry 2nite to see where the sound came from .. but kinda hard if i am alone .. lolx
yea lo RM70 is expensive liao ...

garage sales for RM40~RM50 bosch sports 8mm cable, then got RM140 Quadcore 10.0mm cable then got pro royale 10.0mm unknown price RM150 to RM170 i think (comes with grounding cables) ...

@jen, how much u selling the pro royale? .. lolx
@masao, when u plan to fix? ...

and wat about RPM @ 0 during idling? ... when start engine its normal and go to around 700 RPM .. after that will drop back to 0 ....

wah... where can say like tat...
if i dont change then i no need to drive car lor

adjust higher and see...
my car when morning start about 1.2k then drop til 1k when got air cond around 800 or lower sometime...
each time u adjust the timing, after u adjust then rev ur car then only read the timing

eh bro, i in melaka lar.... anyway, i will not fix it so soon la, for me still bearable, just topup each week lor.
coz i got other more pressing things to REPAIR...

cant adjust le .. mine is svdo ... nvm lo .. just drive for now lo .. sob
its lunch time !!! ...

hehehe... afternoon guys....

kazami, top speed depends on final drive
Our 1.6 top auto, 185km/h at 3rd as the 4th gear too long, at 185km/h, you will be at 4k rpm which is useless

if u release speed limiter, our 3rd gear can go even higher but beware of the GB overheat. Anyway, if u can hit 180km/h, means ur car still good

Last time mine auto can hit max 160km/h, if downhill 170km/h....

dude means if we easy reach 160km/j mean engine still very good huh?

probably means clutch not slipping yet

i tot our car only got rev limited instead of speed limiter..
just now i tried rev with 3rd gear to pull my top speed... manage to get 160kmh... quite easy i assume but compare to new vios, vios is much easier
tat day 1 vios try to kacau me... but i got cut left and right and also drag gears...
i assume tat vios owner only press the pedal without shifting

i think so kua
