Hi waja owners, I'm driving 2002 4g18 waja.
I wonder why the engine will have rattling noise when the rpm is around 2200 and the noise stops when the rpm reached 3000?
Is it the noise comes from the exhaust? Any solution for this?

i doubt you could find one. that is touching the price of entry level 16" tyres already. if you're tight on budget, check out sime astar 300.
less aquaplanning and acceptable grip for it's price. do not push the speedometer in wet. no compromise on safety  wink.gif
my friend recommended me hankook v2.. the price is around rm300, well im also considering v12 cause v12 is still within my budget..
anyone heard of hankook v2 before? how was it?

My waja 4g18 seems like mis-fire whenever my speed is around 70-90km/h.. Sometimes it started as early as 50km/h..
The mis-fire never happen when I let go my pedal to let it deaccelerate on its own from 90km/h

Before this happened, I only changed my 3pcs of Engine Mounting that is Front, Rear, and the one on the Gearbox Side. I even remove the battery to get the mouting replaced. Then I also used WD-40 to spray on the throttle valve and clean up by a cloth.

After that mis-fire comes in, I first replace the spark plugs. Problem not solved. Then I replace the fuel filter (I shake the fuel filter and pour out some brownish petrol). But till now the problem still occur.

Will it be the problem cause by disconnecting the battery terminal that makes the ECU or something else gone crazy??
Anyone please help~~

And so i'd suggest you try a bottle of threebond to clean up the wd40 first. Check my signature

and the reason is? do you mean that the wd-40 had clogged my intake system or injectors?

A slight review after using larger rim and hankook v12 for 2 days~

(I'm comparing with my old 195/60/r15 tyre)

Con:

- Acceleration hurt very badly due to the 17"
- Expecting my consumption to suffer as well as i need to press more now to accelerate
- I not sure if this is a con. But the new rim change my car cornering characteristic. I feel it understeer more now. Either cause by the increase cornering speed or i need some arb or front strut to cancel this understeer out.
- Rolling noise increase due to 215

Pro:

- The 45 profile sidewall is really good comparing to my 60 profile. I can push more now before feeling the sidewall gave in.
- Surprisingly the 45 profile is not as uncomfortable as what people say. In fact i can say its even more comfortable now then with the 60 profile tyre
- Cornering now is much more stable. 215 plus a small sidewall really improved cornering dramatically.
- I feel my suspension works better with 17" wheel. Or maybe cause of the smaller sidewall
- Braking is very good on this v12 tyre. So far I havent lock my tyre yet even though I have to work the brakes harder now. But this is probably due to the 17" rim larger rotational mass.

All in all for me the real con is just one which is suffered acc. Others is all positive. But I need to adjust my rear height.. Its too damn low now. 1 finger nia.. i might wan it to be at least 2 or 2 1/2 finger... Anyone know where i can get this done?

I'm using hankook V2 215/45/17.
The mechanic told me that V2 is more durable (thread wear slower) compare to V12 because the rubber compound is harder, but V12 grip is better.
I found out that V2 is very noisy. I have to increase the HU volume up to +5 to enjoy the music while driving on highway T.T

anyone here know how to take out the headlamp?
*
1. Remove the front grill
2. Remove the nuts (4 each side)
3. Remove the headlamp wiring socket
4. Remove the headlamp (remove the front bumper if you found that the headlamp is very very very hard to take out)

I nvr seen anyone using v2 before... i heard good things abt v12. That was the reason i chosen it.

Ya i also cant find any review for the V2. I try V2 is because it's RM40 per tyre cheaper than the V12, and the mechanic told me that V2 is a newer model. Also, V12 thread wears faster than V2.
