Latest update on my engine... looks like is the engine oil pump problem... The gear that drive's the pump loose. When attach to the shaft, it got some free play... This is the only part that fellow never check..... If really because of this. For nothing he have to crane the engine up 1 more time and I have to suffer another 2-3 days....

Case by case I would say? Because certain parts I will buy my self while certain I'll let my foreman buy... Because when got problem, he have to be held responsible for that.

good for u den

If he still can't fix it, I will consider change car...

Today heard a Vios with that jahit sound..hahaha

wira auto with more than 200k mileage will give a lot of problem?

usually i buy spare part from this shop too.. price is ok for me...

Hi, any recommendation where to upgrade exhaust system (extractor and center box) for my 4g13 around Puchong?

Rather than pick on brand, suggest to get extractor that using better quality metal....

Thanks for reply, what do you mean by using better quality metal? How many types of extractor there is? Sorry I'm new to this.

i just changed my 16-yr old exhaust to hotbits extractor & mid section... didn't put on dyno, but butt-dyno feeling more powerful; with the price of exhaust sound being a little bit more noisier...
the problem of "cacat 3-speed auto which always give a pain in the ass with high-rpm style engine braking when accelerator is released" is reduced quite a lot... the car can "roll" further after accelerator is released...
previously when need more power out from this old junk, i would switch off the aircond compressor... but after changing the extractor & mid section, no longer need to use this lame method...
the price is not at cheap side (to me)... you can check at speedworks website...
part quality and workmanship is good... although i need to wait for >3 weeks for the manufacturing of the extractor because the model for wira was sold out and their orders were piling up due to Chinese New Year long shutdown...
anyhow, i would suggest change the whole thing from front to end... i am keeping the rear section (maybe temporary ) because have to fetch kids with this car...

damn!! i also very desperate to modify my exhaust system.. = ="
but i worry change d get worst result than stock 1..
SOS!

Exhaust system is a make or break thingy so make sure you know what you are doing

Worst result? what do you mean by that? if yes, then exhaust shop wont open so many..1 main road..got around 5 exhaust shop..hahahahahaha..
make sure u get good quality exhaust then should have improvement..

hi, shinjite, i rmb lastime u told me to modify my EXTRACTOR 1st..
so far i checked for the hot bit 1.. rm580..
if i change the EXTRACTOR only, other remain.. will gain anything?
haha.. becoz most of the ah beng like to modify their exhaust without thinking the consequences.. they juz wan style..
they choose custom made which is cheaper.. so many exhaust shop still stand strong as custom made 1 they earn alot by juz cincai combine few steel pipe and their cost is cheap. they earn more if compare to branded 1.. boom ur wallet..
for me, i wish i could get somethings that can increase power and at the same time improve FC..
sounds impossible?

Wow, rm580 for an extractor..... Mine only rm2++.....

wat brand huh? whr u change? and the main concern is.. any gain? or lose?

No brand good quality steel used.... I think maybe I need to put a cold bits sticker in, haha....
So far so good I can say. Got some power...

Hotbits already increase price, hence very expensive

AhKoo, extractor alone you will definitely gain power and response but for overall, best to do the mid section till the back

so no brand 1 can trust?
changing extractor alone already cost me rm600..
no extra for mid til back ><"
juz renew my insurance and nit some spare to service somemore..= ="

Cheaper solution now would be Powerzone/Zenden extractors
Mid to end you can customize to your liking
