Another issue is, when i slam the brake hard, the front left wheel tends to lock and skid whil the other 3 wheels haven't (my 95 1.5 wira dun have ABS one)... is it brake pump problem?
Alignment is okay cos this thing happen before & after i went to tyre shop to do alignment...
any idea all the sifu ?

emm, anyone that having non-ABS Wiras, can help me test something or tell me the experience?
When you drive at 40 or 60km/h on normal road, hit the brake as hard as you can, will your car skid (or give skid sound)?
If yes, is it all 4 wheels or one of the particular wheels or particular side of the car?

Read a couples of post in forums saying the lifetime is short... there's a new version call nightbreaker PLUS... better lifetime, but dunno how much... better get Philips ones...

Mine non-ABS. Over the years, I've jammed my brakes several times due to emergency, always on straight line only. Yes, it skid straight with sound. Sometimes, I do a 2-3 jamming/release with my own manual-ABS-foot. Since I'm concentrating the steering and brakes, I can't roll down the window and put my head out to view which tires locked  tongue.gif  But I guess both front wheels locked up (disc brake), not the rear ones (drum).

The experience ? It goes like this the moment you jammed it:
(i) Oh no!
(ii) Sh!t !!!!!!!! (skidding)
(iii) I'm Fucuk!!! (just few ft from the car in front). Eyes getting as big as dinner plate, even if you have mata-sepet.
(iv) Keep swearing for the next few hundred milliseconds... you'll be amazed how much you can spew out. This helps a lot to release the tension. Trust me.
(v) ... ... ... ... ... this is where you encounter lost-time or twilight-zone thing for split-second. Unexplainable.
(vi) Stoped just few inch/cm from hitting the front car. Fuhhh.... the only thing I can see is the car plate + rear lights of the car in front.  sweat.gif  and you come back to reality.

Moral: Don't speed and follow too close.  thumbup.gif

haha, thanks for sharing. I just wondering is it due to my brake pump's distribution got something wrong or not...
then i tried on a Viva (non-ABS). at 40~60km/h, slam on brake, same situation... not sure it's same problem with my wira, or just the nature of non-ABS car...

Anyone installed Ultra Racing front strut bar on a carburetor-type Wira (with original or drop-in type air filter) before?
Any problem in servicing or replacing the original air filter, without removing the bar?
