is it worth to fully recondition a ~18 years old proton wira? how much $$ will it cost?

hahah.. i would do the same also.
last time when i request a SC to adjust my autogearbox gearshift sensitivity (want it to shift at higher rpm), and he starts telling me to i need to flush radiator, change engine oil, and also ATF too, or else, the adjustment wont work.
WTF right?

i dun think so, mine shift up at very low rpm.. hence, the car totally no power at all. for my wira, as long as i dun shift the gear at 5k above, the fc doesnt effect much. so, before i had the adjustment, i normally drive my car by shifting from L, 2 and D.

optimum setting? i dunno ler.. i drive depend on feeling. i dun like sluggish feeling (when it shift up, but the car lose acceleration) when i use manual shifting, i will rev until redline 7k, then only shift up to 2 or D. 

for my 4g93t manual now, i normally shift up on 2.5k till 3k rpm (depends on the load im bringing). 1.8 has very good low end torque.  when driving thru bump (with braking slowing down), i can still engaged with 3rd gear, and drive on without having the engine chocking (which the rpm too low) and clutch fully engaged (some ppl tends to press some clutches to avoid engine chocking).

Knocking issue?

Yeah, that is knocking. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_knocking

Actually quite common with Proton carburettor engine cars.

you need to adjust your valve clearance.
knocking is bad. will cause damage to engine in long run.

anyone know how much cost for changing engine mounting?and how to know that our car need to change mounting...

yah thas 1.5..dem...so costly r??got any effect if not change the mounting?

when is our next gathering?

If got next gathering don't so late lah. I already miss 2 times because of timing problem.

I try to make it this time for the next gathering XD

Hell, I only know how to go Flamingo Hotel only, the rest all dunno at Ampang

i'm not driving auto so don't really know about auto problem.
but i have heard before that auto car will change gear depends on how you press the accelerator, fully press means you wanna go fast so it will change gear at higher RPM while normal press means it will change gear like usual.

so you smoked the Porsche?
can go till 7k RPM? yours is carburetor?

wats tps bro?

Dude, no matter how fast you shift, the DSG still goes faster with every gear change. No.2, not sure whether that Golf is modded or not, if it is, habis and no.3, you lack extra gears XD

Golf GTi can hit 250km/h
