handbrake sign eh? check your brake fluid. or your brake hose, maybe bocor. hows ur braking? spongy? or ok? if ok, then your brake fluid is running low. if spongy then maybe ur hose bocor or ada air bubbles. need to re-bleed.

or maybe ur wiring problem. short with the handbrake maybe?.

no idea on exterior. but performance wise

stage 1
-------
drop in airfilter, simota/k&n is nice. prepare around rm250 for new one. or cheaper if bought at automotive garage here..

aftermarket extractor. find a tuned-lenght. dont bother with chapalang extractor. it will worsen ur FC. tuned-lenght such as matspeed,powerzone, etc is nice. prepare around rm350 iirc

rear muffler just keep back stock, change the midbox to a better bullet. or retain the midbox and add a bullet will do also. prepare around rm150 or less for a nice bullet

better spark plug cable. those 9.8mm or 10.0mm will do. dont overdo as it will interfere with ur radio/sound system. get a nice brand. NGK is around rm200 iinm.

better spark plug. or better to contact the_catacombs and buy his side-gapped plugs. side-gapped is always good. its better than those overpriced iridium etc etc.. and very cheap also. i think he's selling for less than rm50.

VS or grounding is up to you. i did it for cosmetic purpose.. din felt any improvement.

CAI (cold air intake) remove ur original snorkel with CAI. costs only around 80 including pasang


stage 2
--------
lighten crank pulley rm300 for a nice dampened such as zerone/mythelogy iinm

adjustable campulley rm150 each usually. i dunno viva is sohc or dohc. this thing i also dunno any effect or not if install on stock camshaft. it just moves ur powerband. so u can set if wan play pickup or wan topspeed. i suggest u to play pickup only. topspeed is dangerous la on viva hehe no offence..

skimmed flywheel. dont overdo it, as it will result ur car unable to climb genting hahaha.. skim 500-600gm is enuff i think. most workshop got it own recipe. just told them wan skim flywheel kasi pickup. around rm300

better clutchkit. made in japan exedy or trinity will do. dun take those single plate or springless. unless u think ur leg can handle. haha. plus, no use also with stock engine. hehe..

stage 3
--------
Port and polish cylinder head. contact maddriver for pricing. i dunno the price of this one. i did mine myself with help and supervsion from a pro ofcourse.

oversized piston+bore cylinder block

higher duration camshaft

larger valve + stiffer valve springs + thicker valve retainer (RPW is a good brand)

open pod airfilter + custom heatshield + CAI

oversized exhaust pipe + performance mufflers

individual coils for each plug ?

engine management system (emanage,haltech,microtech,etc) or maybe rechip ECU to remap ur fuel etc etc.. or SAFC maybe?



actually i dunno the staging of each parts. i just wrote based on what i know and what i did to my car (some).. cheers.






oh about handling, the more bars the better lol. but prioritize on

1. front antiroll
2. rear antiroll
3. fender
4. front strut
5. rear strut
6. room bar

and better shocks. TEIN CUSCO HKS is too dang expensive. lookout for hwl or zerone adjustables...

bigger brake servo maybe.. better brake pad (EBC if u got the $$$ but dunno got for viva or not hehe )

lightweight rims? stick to stock size is better. dun add additional load on ur engine..

better tires. toyo R1r, advan neova AD08, potenza RE01R, etc..




just my 2 cents. good luck modding~

haha. its ok bro. just helping out

oh auto ey? remember to install ATF cooler. works brand should be priced around rm300.

or u can search for used ATF cooler at halfcut. mostly evo's oil cooler. which priced 2 rm200-rm250

installation should be around rm50 or much less

anddd.. you're set to vroom~

haha no idea. just giving general tips on mod only.

ARB is useless? it improves ur braking power and reduce bodyroll i think.

arb effect is quite significant i think. unless u talking about strut bar?
