good 1~

Yes, it's 4G15..
its normal for your Fuel Consumption..how about RON97? try before?

but dude, if ur car started to make noise here n thr, will u fix them?
i spend around 2-3k juz to make sure i got a pretty "car LEG".
new tyres and adjustable absorbar perform better than normal

i would like toi install turbo kit too..
but from my mechanic, he said it is quite costly to maintain..
since i am still a student.. i juz accept wat i have now..
i feel great to own a wira 1.6 at tis age..
=)


actually my 7k include many... my car is 70% new!!! dynamo new, engine mounting new, horn new, lamp new, tyres new, absorbar new, spark new, spark cable new, sound system new, alarm new, centrel lock new, tulang anging new, lower arm new, air con all new etc...

all my fren saying that its not worth to renew in such way..
8 since tis is my 1`st car..
after i buy, then problems only occur slowly..
my roof staarted to have cancer n i think i need another 1k to change soon..
althought i speed quite lots of money in it..
7k can get another 2nd hand 1.5 wira.. 8 i do enjoy the ride nw...
n ya... i would like to share with u all try to get a WORK engineering drop in filter for ur injection type wira..
its safe fuel like mad... be4 6-7km/L, now 9-10++km/L after using that....
=)

is it this?
How much you get?

yaya..
tats the 1..
erm, i bought it at Eneos center n if not mistaken, i grab it at rm158..
i change it when i change my engine oil too..
i use enous semi 10w40 engine oil + work drop in filter to achieve such FC..
but this engine oil i feel heavier if compare to BHP semi 10w40..


but i believe only the filter already increase my FC...

but bear in mind, drop in filter nit some liquid to wash 1.. quite costly also= ="
n ya.. try to search at mudah.my.. around rm150 can get 1 there..

Kent Goh having good price for those parts..will ask him when I want to get..
but I just change Borch air filter..cheap 1..

haha.. borch filter is juz a normal filter with high air resist..
u try remove ur air filter n drive..
u will knw the true POWER of ur car... haha..
but try at ur own rise,

to save fuel... u can change ur spark plug into iridium or platinum 1..
at the same time, it increase ur hp too..

or u can change ur spark cable too..
just my suggestions..
drive slowly and not over step ur pedal then ur fc should be always good

mine 380, u say urs normal anot lolx.

full tank is how much?
i normally will fill up my tank when there left only 1 level..
n normally i filled around rm60+- for the remaining.
n its around 32 litter, my best achieve on my FC is 318km with 32 litter.
if full tank i think should be around 400km.

When someone loves their car.. they can sacrifice anything for it.. love is blind

When you have done so much to the car, no use selling it
Like me, the new cars I can afford will be way way slower than mine yet I need to fork out downpayment and montly installments for it (still pay more than intended due to bank interest)

Then you wanna upgrade need to spend again. So screw it, might as well just restore back the current car's chassis (well thats me ler, dunno about the rest of you guys)

About used cars with MIVEC/turbo selling in the 15k to 30k range. Those also not sure the chassis is in good condition or not so the risk is there

Yes, true that. I'm too thinking of going the same path as you. Maintaining the wear and tear parts, upgrade engine if necessary and later, redo chassis.

New car has monthly installment + services + maintaining parts while older cars minus the installment (that is if bought cash or fully paid). Plus annually cheaper insurance

i love my car but i wont wasted on it.. i only do the part i think its worth and really need. (n of coz only when i am afford. by buy the car in cash now gt abit regret nw becoz my mechanic told me that i will having headache the another 5 years time becoz of those collect tax authority )
by renewing a 13 years old car, its worth! because i can feel the pleasure of driving it. when i need power thr come power. when i need to arrive a location safe n comfortable. it does!

my very beginning plan is to get a MIVEC/turbo wira. but i worry later i bought a problematic MIVEC/turbo wira, then i mati liao.. as i mention above, i'm still a student. driving a original with some minor modify is sufficient for my needs.
=) i very agree with u becoz for now, v nonit worry about loan n downpayment at all.
i rather spend the money to re-condition my car..
i am great to choose wira 1.6anyway. its more solid than most of the car with the same price range =)

70 kua... if i full tank can go 480-500 d

wat the....
u drive polite or with heavy feet?

Full tank is subjective. The best way is to count by KM per Litre (KM/L)

My full tank:
~RM70-75 @1.85 = 37.8 - 40.5 L
I can go around 460-500 km
In my 555 notebook, my average now is ~12.5 KM/L +/- 0.5

My RPM seldom goes >3k. Shift up around 2.5k. 1.5manual
