FYI, What is WD40 and how it born.

With so many applications, WD-40 is a very useful item to keep at home.

This is some very useful info for WD-40!

Before you read to the end, does anybody know what the main ingredient of WD-40 is? Don't lie don't cheat. WD-40. Who knew? I had a neighbor who bought a new pickup. I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown reason). I went over, woke him up, and told
him the bad news. He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do..... probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open. Another neighbor came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint job that was on the truck.

I'm impressed!

WD-40 who knew? 'Water Displacement #40'. The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts.

WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a ''water displacement' compound.. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Convair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.

Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you. When you read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It's a miracle! Then
try it on your stove top... Viola! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.

WD-40 uses:

1. Protects silver from tarnishing.

19. Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!

37. Florida 's favorite use is: 'cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers.'
38. The favorite use in the state of New York , WD-40 protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements.
39. WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a little on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose.
Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states.
40. Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch.
41. WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.
42. Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and rewash. Presto! The lipstick is gone!
43. If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start.
44. Keeps golf shoes dry!
45. Removes labels merchants attach to everything.

hahahaha, got this email before =)

yea just share it here incase anyone miss out

there are few type of 4g93 / gsr. mine was of gsrt ck or dohc 4g93t with mivec head and custom made parts to accommodate the aggressive head.
spare parts was plenty. dyno result shows a lousy 270bhp on flywheel to protect the almost stock tiptronic gearbox.
i could say the reliability is about the same with 4g18p. a few friend had been using 4g93t on their waja for 5 years without any problem; provided that due care was practiced.
normal driving style with 'kepishh!' overtaking sound return about 8.41km/l or 0.24/km using bhp and caltex ron97. just stay away from the lousy shell's v-power 97 for spirited driving.
perhaps, you could go for dohc 4g93t and just de-tuned it by removing the turbo and use proper piggyback management.

btw, you're paying an expensive price. but we don't blame you. a lot of mechanic out there always take advantage of the situation. even so for newbie car owner.
it was an alternator. and from the list of changed parts. you alternator is fine but the belt maybe snapped.
my advice, go for throttle body cleaning. ThunderGod_Cid could do it for you. where are you staying, maybe we could recommend a reliable workshop for you as well.
and welcome to waja thread

all he did was prolly' adjust / re-calibrate the engine timing around the throttle body area. as what you usually did every time after throttle body service.
and shell hx-5 was a mineral oil. for kenari, at RM65.50 with oil filter, it should be free

were you using the same brake pad on both side? was you car stay in line or slight to the left during sudden braking in high speed?
try pressing the bonnet on the left side(on top of the absorber) and observe if the it bounced more than once for possible absorber problem.
need the car around to do troubleshooting.

yngwie : would u rather go for a mivec than to detune the 4g93t?

hmm... good question. but suitable mivec for waja only available in 1.6. no doubt it offer more fun due to the aggressive behaviour.
but i decide to go ahead and experiment with 4g93t coupled to a mivec head.
1st step was swapping the td05 with s256. and a custom made 'top part' to feed the mivec head properly.
with all the modification, car was good for 3xxbhp when running on twin plate ogura but was keep at 270bhp to protect the the tiptronic gearbox and to serve the purpose as a city car.
i think its all down to individual taste and preference.

i can see another Monster coming ahahaha.... my car is just a kutu only lols

haha.. u did.. but it kindda slip my mind that the timing when aircon kicks in would be different too....

ive no idea how tiptronics have clutch in them as i never bothered to take a look at em, mind explaining?
Mivec on a 4g93t engine, mibec turbooooo huhu. 300plus is nice.

Thats is the functin for ISC motor or what we called stepper motor! it function as RPM stabilizer. SAS mode is to park the motor at the right step for calibration.

Haha Sry i just realize 1 stupid things, i put my car to wash straight after repair since it's in shell station tha equip with car wash so the indo pull my carpet (the rubber use to hold sands) too front and block the pedel, when 1st i just squat and see i din notice it until just now i double check again, so the pedel problem is solve.. since you could do alignment why dun do my absorber as well ? given a fair price , the shell station is located at ampang, somewhere near a corner into bintang mall (i guess the name only can't remember)
So Elton u got your own garage for repair ? where is your location ?

Ya i found strange also when i see the bill tuining RM15, i never knew he is charging tuining cox when i stand there he just told me now i do the tuining for u and i just say ok lo cox i see he just use a screw driver to turn left and right never know it's chargeble.. RM48 + labor ? i dunno how this guy counts, does this oem kyb gas is good enough for normal user like me ? durability ? but i think his RM270 for both rear absorber is including labour if i not mistaken..

Lol that means i kena CON d by the way this WD-40 really that good mah ? how much does it cost ?

Yngwie:
1. Not the timing belt cox mine just change once i buy so should not be problem, it's the alternator belt, air cond belt and another belt at the same place
2. I cant differentite, but from your price list it's for sure a standard one then...
3. Kena CON 99 this part + this is the only part he never tell me that is chargable
4. selamat
5. selamat again x2
6. not sure but because when i try to take off my battery i can't really move the nut as it move all together so have to use another playar to hold on the other ends, so i make decision to change it maybe i was wrong also zzz
7. so it's should be more or ?
8. Selama again x 3

Suspension / absorber <-- see Elton got provide this service if yes i try to go his place
Tire <-- forget wat name d, but i ask early can get goodyear or not he said that all good tire u cannot get in 180, so i was not so sure..
Fan <-- maybe true cox sometimes when we stop the car for sometime with engine on, sometime the engine / fan like moving got sound the awhile slow down then maybe around 2min again, like up and down so i not sure this is to change or not cox he said this cost RM70 bucks + if change this have to change another dunno what thing also that is nearly 100 bucks zzz

I rent a room at ampang area, inside korean village opposite ampang point, throttle body cleaning means ? full body check ? hahaha sorry for being noobiez

steven wanna ask something already..since the day i reflashing from you everything was ok. then i went to service my car, i feel even better power but now since like the reflashing is gone or is my own mental thinking. i feel like the car very laggy and the auto transmission would like delay for second to wait for the power to kick in, last time wasnt like that till last week i feel the power is gone already.

Other den Autofoam, what else can i do to improve the comfort?
I'm on 60 series tires now..

MORE autofoam. and soundproofing on the doors

basically, it should. never open one. still using the torque converter thou. only good thing over the conventional auto tranny was it was being able to shift rapidly depending on the driving style. the tiptronic mode only allow for slight engine drag, after that, without downshifting or upshifting, gear still change by itself.
since it was gsrt block and mivec head, can't really call it mivec turbo


throttle body was the part where the air mix in.
you can check with elton @thundergod_cid, he do a throttle body cleaning as well. car usually feels' lighter after throttle body cleaning.

yeah. soundproofing on 4 doors using the rubber foam, cotton-waste like material and a thin layer of bitumen. diy on all 4 door took me almost 6 hours
while waiting for the ca glue to dry up, i start working on another door.
btw, sound proofing on the roof panel area is really paid off. esp. during heavy rain.

may I know why do you choose the tiptronic over the manual? And is your 4g93t are those they call 'terbalik' ones?

monster mivec turbo lol. I sometimes drive a Mazda 6 BOT, with shiftronic. The way we take care of the gb :
we release the throttle in between gear changes and drive it like a manual so that you dont put too much torque/stress onto the clutch packs and brake bands.
If we don't release the throttle, it slips.

Engine is about 300whp and tranny was ordered from level10, US which costed close to 25grand

As for the insulation, why you suggest cotton waste? 3M is supplying one of these cotton products which claims to give a real biggy difference. It's called Thinsulate =)
