i think jay's problem is highly coz of the engine oil cap ... after a hard/long drive he is required to topup = most probably will be oil evaporating ... engine oil evaporate is due to either too low viscosity or the oil cap ... but then who knows, so better keep on monitor after replacing the cap ...

bump~ im back...

umm i need this part, but dunno where to find it.
no use telling me accessories shop unless confirm they got it.
its for aeroback, the clip thingie that holds the boot board in place.

i face this problem too
wat i do it... i put it behind... which mean the clip is infront, so in between the clip and seat...

possible coolant leakage spotted around bottom right side corner of the radiator today, i saw wet stains down there.
Question: Have to change the whole radiator?
Thoughts: Does installing aluminium radiator worth it?

can repair, usually. sent to radiator service shops.
aluminium conducts way better than steel, and is rust-proof. depends on the price.
but then again, IMHO i really dont think you get significant benefit from an aluminium radiator besides the "gut feeling".
normal radiators last a long time too, and works good enough anyways - but its your money, so u decide.

well my problem is one side has gone missing

DIY lor... buy a 3M hook (kitchen use type) and stick there. kao-tim!


p/s:
how do you drive a left-drive car in Malaysia?
like this lor!

hey guys....

i upgrade my rotor to bosch standard oem for wira 1.5.
after a week, i got "tik tik tik tik" sound coming from the rotor on both side.
the more faster i drive, the more noise it makes.

i check with foreman, they say the rotor dented.

how come a new rotor can be dented that fast?

you mean aluminum disperse heat better than copper ?

anyone have experince wira with 1.6 mivec???how the perfomance and its fuel consumption.......time to transplant new engine i think.... i just got transferred to cameron highland.......damn pity my 1.3 engine when going uphill

sifu oly....can u give cost estimation for engine transplant, for this 3 engine:

4g91
4g92
mivec 1.6

plus other item/accesories that i need to add when changing the engine, which is more worth it??

Uphill, 1.6 MIVEC below 5.5k = NA Lag

so i still need to rev up the engine??

if u, wat ur suggestion??

stock radiator made from copper??

yup..thats why evo use alu's hood..to absorb and disperse heat fastah

according to my knowledge, copper have better heat conductivity then aluminium ... ask uncle google and he can provide u the heat conductivity table ....

yes you are right , copper can disperse heat faster than alu anytime , but copper is heavier , therefore if going for performance alu is chosen over copper anytime , and yeah alu is rust free thou ...

copper should dissipate heat better than aluminium.
but copper is also more than 3 times the weight of aluminium.
so theres the answer why

confused .... just to correct the quote, Copper dispense heat faster than aluminum ... evo use alu coz the most important of all, its VERY light, cheap and anti rust ... they did a good combination, fast speed = good wind + average heat dispense = perfect cooling ... lolx

oppsss..yeah..somehow forgotten about the copper heat dissipation rate.. how could i forget those things learned in overclckers united.. haha..
yup, evo use alu to lighten the body, including the chassis..
