icic. so what is the impact for this mod ..

No much different..wasting my money only...

What suppose the effect will be?

maybe it takes time to see the effect

@tjroy@
better stick to manufacturer's recommended engine oil. am on shell's hx7... so far so good.


@Aurora@
as long as we change the atf on time ( manufacturer's recommended is 20k but i change mine at 15k interval), it will be ok. maintenance and proper way of using is fundamental.


guys, anyone tried the Surbo? those ppl claimed it increased the car's performance significantly..

btw, apart from the pro-rs brake hose, guang dao vs, twin tip exhaust swap from waja 1.8 and k&n air filter, my car is completely stock. next up is twin pots front brake conversion. my mechanic already has the stuffs but i am undecided ;
twin pot vr4 rs or twin pot evo 3......???
any suggestion? thanks

I'm also planning for pro-rs brake hose.how much did u brought last time?

surbo? i think its just the same as those fan type blades that is installed in the air intake.. it suppose to direct ur air in the throttle body in a way making its sufficient.. my friends installed two in his car last 2 years.. i'll try asking him is he still using it or oredi taken out..

What is recommended ATF fluid for 4G18? gonna change the fluid this afternoon. how many liter needed? Thanks in advance

240 bucks. bought from garage sales last time. i could say; braking feel better and no more spongy feel.
btw, i bleed' / change the brake fluid as soon as i get the hose replaced.

am still using the standard oem proton atf fluid. dot4 if am not mistaken(correct me if am wrong).
used to cost around 23 bucks a liter. replacement need around 4 liter.
you may try the equivalent atf fluid from motul.

Did you change to a better brake pad before considering changing the brake hose ? I feel a little reluctant changing the brake hose as if there's any problem with it , it's going to take life.

Initially I went to tyre shop to swap the front tyre to the rear and do allignment and wheel balancing together but the mechanic over there took a test drive before he do the allignment and said that the Steering "bush"/"rubber" was worn out which he use a torchlight pointing it to the steering "rack"/"sub" which in the engine bay to show that it were loose , so no choice but to replaced the worn one with 2 new rubber. Before he finish to replaced the 2 rubber , one fella came over and said that the Engine mounting was broken and cracked in another one which again , doesn't have any choices but to get it replaced.

After they have done everything and I was going to leave , I engaged into D and waiting for the traffic lights to turn green and to my dismay , the steering vibrates much more comparing to the broken engine mounting and I was forced to U-turn back and ask them about it. If I'm not mistaken , they said they'll try loosen the screw and re-tighten it and see if it helps. Although it doesn't vibrates as much as before but still you can feel the vibration with D engaged and brake being pressed during idling. Since the shop were closing and they're rushing going back , they also said that try a few days and see if the vibration will be still there.

I'm not sure about the others , but despite spended a small fortune and the time taken , I'm pretty much unstatisfied with it.



Since I'm not quite statisfy with the outcome , I would really like to know could the vibration due to the new mounting which the rubber haven't seals in properly ? or It is caused by the cheap engine mounting ? FYI . It's only around sixty plus for each of them and they changed two mounting only instead of four.
Would really like to hear from you all.

sorry for the late reply bro. ya the place is in Kampung Chempaka, PJ. erm... the guy's number is 012 698 8741. his name is Chin.

For better response, change brake hose together with brake pad.

So far from my friend experience the steel braided brake hose is much better than standard hose, cause the reinforced hose makes the braking much stable.

Those vibration you had now is due to engine mounting change. My mechanics recommend to change full sets of engine mounting for Waja, or else the same problems like you occurs. I just change my whole engine mounting sets last month, and no such vibration as you feel right now.

guys can i know what the manufacturer's recommended engine oil rating is? im currently on 20-50 which i just found out after asking my mechanic. is this the usual rating you guys are using?

@Andy0625@
from my experience, all of the engine mounting have to be replaced in one shot. else, as the other 2 older engine mounting crack, the vibration may become more and more unbearable...
depending on the brand, but the side(l/r) one is more expensive(may cost about 50% more) than the front / rear.

@b48753@
the steel braided hose seem to settle my spongy brake problem too.
btw, am on bendix metal king titanium brake pad and i noticed it bites the disc faster than my old lousy mintex pad
now, my mechanic advice me to either upgrade to 2 pots or go for disc skimming
or perhaps, buying a performance disc that fit to the stock brake system as a replacement will be just fine!

10-40w. you can either use mineral(5k), semi synt(7k) or fully synth(10k); depending on the mileage...
i am on shell hx7. so far so good. but since am no longer filling up with shell, might try elf on my next change...

its SPIII....can be from original proton,mitsubishi diaqueen, kia SPIII/hyundai SPIII.....just stick to original specification then the gearbox will be ok...and dont try different brands as atf fluid is not like engine that you can try this and that with different grading and brand...stick to SPIII and it serve you well...

4liters will be enough or slight 4.3liters.....

Added on October 26, 2009, 9:24 pmits SPIII....if DOT4 brake fluid...

Hi guys,

My 2002 waja auto, suddenly got problem with the timing.
When idle, the timing is very low, and sumtimes the engine runs very slow until it switches off. The other thing, the vibration is quite tremendous. I can feel the whole car vibrating when the timing is very low.
This thing happens out of a sudden on this week. Before this it was okie..
Anyone experiencing this b4?

'hanta pergi tune up ECU

this usually happens if you disconnect the batt - the ECU got reset up

or try revving the car to 3k on idle for a few minutes. solved my prob before
