sorry to hear that,
was facing same problem last time. the brake is worst at high speed.
after changing to evo3 2 pots, no more such problem.

halfcut shop somewhere in sungai besi. cost 550 bucks with workmanship installed at seri kembangan.
the different is quite big due to the bigger disc and 2 pots caliper of evo 3 front brake.

btw, front brake is the most important ( about 85% workload)

@kobe10@
which workshop you got your tb cleaned?

lucifah, was a stock 15" proton wheels powder coated or sprayed? nice one!
btw, you car need a regular air filter and tb cleaning

not sure about tires bearing but i was quoted less than 400 bucks for 4pcs of engine mounting + labour charge somewhere in maluri at the end of last year.

i am about to change the tires bearing on my waja too. where are you located at?

anyone can recommend me a good shop for touch up? preferably around kl / pj area.
someone else door hit my car and the tiny portion of the pain just peel off.

seldom wind down / up the window in rear door. heard a cracking sound and the whole plastic part / regulator
is gone.

too expensive. proton oem engine mounting cost rm80 each x4 = rm320 + rm60 labour charge.
changing 1 / side will not be as effective. need to change 4 at the same time to avoid extra strain to the single new mounting. labour cost is quite costly.

do you happened to keep the gen2 handbrake handle in stock? do they fit to waja?

rm300 is dirt cheap where workshop does the job for you?
i changed my mounting last december and it cost me rm380 proton with oem parts.
a friend of mine is changing his soon.

yes. was done at the workshop somewhere in maluri, cheras.
now left with one problem. none of the workshop could solve the loose rubber sound when going over an uneven road. car feel unstable at high speed cornering.
have tried everything from mounting, swapping suspension & pillowball, all round lower arm check, fuel tank bracket and even the boot area; spare tire and car jack just in case it was loosened....

most obvious sound came from the rear at the right side. lucky i've got another ride.

waja ecu usually auto adapt to any changes after a couple of days.
ecu reprogramming might require additional piggyback such as e-manage....
you may go ahead and let us know the result....

engine mounting change labour charge should be around 80 bucks. 2 front bearing around 40 bucks for both.
to be safe, get ready with 200 bucks cash.

waja stock brake sux big time. i've tried changing to ferodo zero and bendix metal king titanium pad coupled with cross drill / slotted / ventilated disc (front, with stock caliper), pro-rs brake hose and brake fluid bleeding but the performance is still not up to expectation even at optimum operating temperature.
swap with perdana brake system front; still not up to the mark. finally settled for twin pots evo 3 brake system. takes a lot shorter distance to stop, even in high speed
if the disc surface is uneven, it will caused a loud squeaking sound when we press the brake pedal slowly.
skimming the disc will settled the problem but for safety reason, it's not advisable to skim the disc more than twice!
if the pedal need to be pump in order for the brake system to works properly, bleeding /changing the brake fluid will help.

it's normal for the ecu to take a couple of days before it adapt to the new changes / lcp.
any big different in acceleration?

how old is your waja campro? my old waja 4g18p's nvh is better than the 1st generation vios when cruising at 160km/h. i am comparing both due to to the car's age
check your engine mounting / bushes and those absorber bushes/ top cover(rubber). an all round noise insulation job cost under 1k nowadays; and the material is a lot more lighter than it used to be a few years back.

waja 4g18p with airbag was the premium (X) version. beside the airbag, it does come with abs , leather seat and climate control. scroll to page 1 for more.

squeaking metal sound? or rubber sound?
you should try a reputable brand of adjustable
tein superstreet never fail me after more than a year in use. but the ride is harder compare to the stock
setup
currently looking for a custom made spring for it.
must be an uncomfortable ride then. consider changing it to metal type

510 bucks is more expensive then what i paid for mine lat time. with bearing and my own absorber swap too.
you may need to bleed / change the brake fluid. mine used to have the same problem. sometimes need to pump twice to work properly. changed to pro-rs brake hose with bleeding and brake fluid change. problem solved.
disc uneven will produce a squeaking metal sound.
disc skimming is only require when the disc surface is uneven. any workshop will do it for 80 bucks( front pair).

sachs is considered as a premium brand over those apm or kw

@brewoe_1988@
a few mechanic also saying the same thing about my car's aged braking last year. no problem! when in fact, we as a regular user will instantly knows if there is a slight different in car's behaviour.
it's normally done in a go. drain the fluid and add in a new one. and let the mechanic works out the optimum braking rate.
driving fast with a worn out disc / aged waja stock brake system is dangerous.
even a good tires will not help the car stop in time

@tjroy@
220 bucks with installation. done in JB about 2 years ago.
be careful coz' wrong installation may interfere with the ABS system thus caused the ABS warning light keep turning on.

@squareballs@
plastic panel that holding the mirror may need to change. prolonged exposed hot sun light might caused the plastic to melt. thus caused the whole panel to stick to certain part. same thing happened to my rear door as well.
i pull the glass while pressing the button at the same time and the whole plastic panel broke into pieces

khguan works?

nice job by drex c then
you can try mudah for bumper also

you mean the top cover(rubber)?
size 8 if am not mistaken. can't confirm thou coz' my sister is currently driving the car away from home.
bought sometimes ago for less than 5 bucks.

sometimes, it could be caused by the faulty sensor or even a cabling fault.
when i change my brake hose to pro-rs last time around, abs light light always on.
turn out it was caused by the slightly loose installation.
check the cables.
