QUOTE(kyheng @ Jan 12 2011, 09:46 AM) Well, everyone says Wira after 5 years a lot of problem, but my car will soon clock 8 years another 4 months time. i changed alot of stuff that never changed in 6 years period all one shot.. timing belt set(2nd time change), all rubber hose including fuel hose(got cracks), 2 wheel bearing, rear lower arm, brake pad, rear brake pump, 2 piece of tyres, most of the oil gaskets and etc.. cost me almost 2k.. its not really problem though.. dont change still can drive.. but better safe than sorry..Using good quality oil(semi) will keep the piston lubricated all the time. So how do I get white smoke due to worned pistons? I don't know.... When I found hard to change gear(sign of problem), I on the spot change it, so no damage done. Then how do I get gearbox problem? Again, I don't know. Power sterring fluid and brake fluid are not an issue if don't change, but it is something to do with safety, so I just drag later.... For people tha having above questions, the reasons are : 1. using mineral oil 2. don't know how to take of the car 3. always want to save moeny for others rather than spend some extra on car A lot of people always says that their car FC won't be good after few years, but mine still maintain all the time and now even better due to I change my driving habit.... So, the keyword is, spend extra money on car rather waste money on drink, cigarettes or gamble(for non muslims).... Spending rm800 on Wira every year are not too much, right?  |

QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Jan 19 2011, 12:20 PM) Driver door dented + long scratch, roughly how much $ to put "paste" and paint back ? metalic colour. same situation as me.. wanted to touch up paint only but ended up repaint the whole car for 1.5k, due to many other scratches and touch up paint might have slight diff with the original paint.. good workmanship i would say due to the price i paid.. 6 months now and the clear coat still shines..  wanna ask.. clutch damn hard to press is due to what? is there such thing as clutch pad or need to replace whole clutch? |

QUOTE(wailup @ Jan 20 2011, 08:01 AM) i just sprayed mine, and the car just ready 2 weeks ago. cost me 2k. include workmanship for covering holes on roof, and rear boot. Holes??! or dent? got holes damn scary d la.. how u get holes in it? your clutch system is, by cable or hydraulic pump? normally, if the clutch is hard to press, is due to the racing clutch plate you're using.  once you remove your leg, the car terus lift off.. very good acceleration de.  paint int + ext? 2k worth it or not? chinese new year car should paint red la.. never change the clutch before.. ori one.. now thinking of what clutch to change.. overspent for my car d la for the past 2 months.. now everything expensive d.. think need to drive like old ah pek d.. no need racing clutch..  QUOTE(orangefish @ Jan 20 2011, 01:22 PM) maybe your clutch is racing type.... no $$$ for racing type la.. sponsor sikit.. my feet now pain like mad during traffic jam.. its ok if hard to press, can train your feet ma.  last time i didnt check my clutch oil, i press clutch like no feel...press abit straight go to the bottom.. then actually is my clutch fluid leak, langsung no fluid..cannot change gear...kena call tow car..  |

it was 1.5k whole car but only exterior, means spray back same color.. but it was more than 7 months ago.. few dents only and bonnet have alot of "pimples".. the boss there so funny, emphasize on the clear coat hes using.. brought out 2 bottle of coat showing the good one he using and lousy quality ones..
the location is in Malim, Melaka.. contact need to search for the namecard.. think got good price cause i did my full body skirting from a acc shop and the boss there intro me one.. the workmanship is not bad i would say.. i chose there because when i went i saw few above 2 liter cars oso do there.. BMW 3 series and Toyota Wish also there.. so i think it has good workmanship.. and he give free machine waxing that will last up to 6 months.. like maxgenesis say, 1.5k is normal only.. there were cheaper quotes i get which was around 1.2k but like those chinaman shop.. dunno about workmanship good or not..

i prefer to know what am i paying for rather than blindly pay for whatever they request.. by asking question and chit chating u might even make friends with the owner.. networking is everything.. that just me..
ya my normal avg is 13.xkm/L.. hit 14.x a few times only.. u can get 15+ ur FC is really low man.. double up what AhKoo has.. what engine you're using anyway? |
