so fast to v10.

steven and thundergod_cid, more poison please

after few months, finally done with waja modification / tuning( mostly town ride).
TS, you can update at 1st page:

4g93t block with mivec head and invecs-II gearbox
evo tank, walbro 255lph pump and sard fuel regulator, s256 turbo and 550cc injector
unichip piggyback
gsr exhaust with twin tip muffler.
k&n drop-in air filter
apm performax absorber and spring
17" 5 spoke oz sports rim with ps3 donut
guangdao vs
twinpot evo brake with rs-pro braided hose
pu bushes all round

too much to list down...

should be both coz' lower arm was directly hooked up to the frame and there is this thing call ball joint or something.
on straight road, both works together. during cornering, one will soak up the pressure along with absorber and tires, while the other side loosened up.

on straight line, both works together. but when one side went over bump or potholes, it will absorb the pressure while the other side stay neutral.

here is a foreman tips ; try to press the car's top on all 4 side of where the absorber located at.
press once and observe. a good working absorber should only bounce once too.
if it keep bouncing, that's mean the abs is gone and thus caused the car to bounce repeatedly( due to spring action).

for a slightly spirited driving, the local one is good enough. 2 pcs of local abs mounting = 1 pc of ori abs mounting

white smoke means your head gasket is gone, thus allow the water to enter the cylinder area.
10k mileage seems okay. need to replace the head gasket and check for possible leak somewhere.

your ori one crack, is it?



it's a downgrade. not an upgrade both are of different segment. city might have a better nvh, but it's overall ride doesn't beat waja. neither does it comes close in handling.
except for the badge, if you could call it an upgrade.

you should be able to differentiate between tires, wind noise and engine sound.
if it was more like a humming sound at higher speed, definitely not the gearbox. tires with worn out tread tend to produce those sound as well.
or in some case, could be the engine mounting. if there is no slight vibration on dashboard when the engine idle,
problem down to wheel bearing.

yeah! not to mentioned the hard work on removing the goods compartment, then removing the screw in and out in between the firewall.
i try once and never again

what is your mileage? waja 4g18p or campro?
for waja 4g18p, you could use mineral, semi synth or fully synth(depending on mileage) of 10w-40.
semi or full synth of same visc 10w-40 is okay for campro.

very rare. i came across one before. semi-adjustable with only soft/hard option. can't recall the brand. the absorber system is already tuned for lower height and stiffer spring (can be customize but still stiff than those of oem). all you have to do is turning the valve on the abs to adjust the gas pressure

ron95 or ron97?
too good to be true
was it km/liter or liter/100km calculation?

it's the whole engine itself that you need to worry. auto gearbox is cheap
without proper job done; port and polish, forged piston, cam job, better quality gasket and so on, the engine part might give up before the auto gear box(with atf cooler)
i've had checked with speedworks last time, stage 1 bot on 4g18 already cost around 7k complete with intake manifold, intercooler and turbine but no port and polish job. gain additional 45% - 55% of power but boost only at 0.6 max.
finally decided to go for mix and match setup at slightly higher cost, with invecs-II gear box for town ride and there is no turning back.
100% power gain too
well, unless yo want to keep the current engine, bot is the best way to gain more hp but it will be an almost a never ending job.

even though 4g18p is robust and reliable, it doesn't really mean for bot purpose. unless done with lots of forge thing. which will shoot up to cost to
more than 10k! since there is no replacement for displacement, going for gsrt with invecs-II gearbox for town ride is still the better option.

plug and play. in fact, most of the gsrt halfcut in the market comes with tiptronic gearbox. else, just adopt one from airtrek. advantage of tiptronic geabox; comfortable for town drive while being powerful enough during
overtaking
i doubt you still could do it in 2 years time. news had it that government is going to ban the import of halfcut stuff from japan soon. so, it's either done sooner or never.

waja atf replacement need around 4 liter.
btw, any bulk purchase on the waja tail lamp? the top right looks nice.

205/55/r16 should be the closest one. not so sure thou.

but 205/55/r16 sometimes touch the inner fender fin at full turning. even more on lowered car.

that's why am using 205/50/r16 and not 55 on my ride. learned my lesson

nice mod there steven. more poison
btw, you still active in team imperial?

bump into few imperial member the other day. quite a number of 'em had their car 'poison' by steven
