QUOTE(wailup @ May 2 2011, 01:23 PM) 4g15p injection auto (1.5) to 4g93t injection manual (1.8 turbo) the transplant rules, you can get it from JPJ (bahagian teknikal). in brief, 1.5 to 1.8 is OK.. 1.3 to 1.8 cannot. engine mounting cannot modify, mitsubishi 4g91, 92, 93, even the V6 engine 6A10 6A11 have same mounting. (need some sifu to clarfify), so all these model are ok for wira. Is 4g93 block and 4g93t block the same?

QUOTE(bookstore @ May 4 2011, 07:41 AM) Thx for all the input. I'm not going to heavy use on this car, only on weekend drive, normal tesco, dinner etc. So, if I bought a wira, and it face radiator heat problem. Is it hard to solve? Plan to buy a 10-12k wira. With 4-5k extra for repairing. Hope I'm good luck enuf. Even if you don't have mechanic to go check the car with you, if you got friend that been using Wira for years also can help as he can feel if the engine, gearbox or suspension got problem. See the gap on each door is it the same, see the fender gap to body is it align perfevtly, if got too wide different than that car maybe have been in accident and the chassis have bent. Check the underbody of the car and inside tyre space for rust, if rusty then you might need to replace that panel or cut and weld new metal plate. If all the check I mention no problem, then probably the 5k will be enough for all the other repairs. Added on May 4, 2011, 10:00 amAlso, check for oily place on the engine bay and underbody, if got means got leakage, which will be costly to repair. Check the exhaust got come out whitish or blueish smoke, this also can means need major repair. Also check for crack on the rear signal, if got then water can enter your boot space and changing the whole rear signal will cost you 200 - 400 bucks.

QUOTE(sleepwalker @ May 4 2011, 04:01 PM) When you say engine block, I assume you are talking only about the bottom-end. 4G93T bottom-end has additional piston oil squirts to cool the piston. It fits a 4G93P header without any issues as all the oil and coolant pipes line up with bottom and head. Proton gearbox will fit into the 4G93T bottom-end. Yes I'm talking about the bottom end only, as that is where the chassis number is stamped. My friend 93 NA thinking about going for 93t but use back his block so no need go puspakom. Guess cannot then.

QUOTE(bookstore @ May 5 2011, 09:24 AM) i only having this as weekend ride, tesco and balik kampung. Plan to drive it for another 2 -4 years. Mainly will be city driving. So, should I just buy a 1.3 and save RM 1k or RM 2k instead of buying 1.5. Then can use the money to service the car or wateva. Sorry for asking long, coz in tight budget here. I don't think you should buy a car just for use of 2-4 years. Car are costly to maintain and value depreciate very quickly.

QUOTE(bookstore @ May 5 2011, 10:54 AM) Ok, got your point, I will get a 1.5 instead of 1.3. Thx How to put this in words.... I'm very young (age 23) and do not want to burden myself with a Vios, City, Myvi, Persona. Which I have to make installment 700 - 1000 per month. Hence, i decided to get a Wira as it is cheaper in maintenance and I could cash and carry. Plan to drive for 2-4 years and by any change, my financial is more stable, bought a house, then might get a bigger / nicer car. Else, I will continue driving this car if the car is in good condition. Or I might buy a new car and keep Wira, that will happen when I married. But all these are still future, which are uncertain. Now is to get myself a WIRA 1.5, joining u guys soon.  you got craving for speed or modding the car? if not then 1.5 is enough. if got then better get 1.6 or better 1.8. so many performance modding possibilities.

QUOTE(FauxHawk @ May 5 2011, 11:12 PM) Sit the wira so long already, the other day my parents go test the persona, they say the back feels tighter. Btw, back to my old question, does the air filter really make a big diff? either open pod or drop in. Heard many say car feels lighter, ie rpm climbs faster. Personally, I only use stock filter.

Wira got 2 fans, 1 for aircond and 1 for engine. maybe the engine fan didn't work thats why even when temperature high the fan didn't spins to cool it down.

Wiper need wiremen check.
Brake in tht condition is quite dangerous. Better get your foreman check it properly. Check pump, check pad, check fluid bleed in.

Damn.. I didn't realise I didnt lock the bonnet properly when I close it. Drive a bit then reach 100kmh and the bonnet go up by itself! Now my bonnet kemek on both side that holds it.
All the foreman and mudguard till spraying guy ask how come bonnet didn't hit front windscreen. Turn out the bonnet damper / absorber that I got installed helped to retain the bonnet from smashing my windscreen. So yeah, the RM60 that I spend few years ago helped me save RM500 this time ..

My friend in Perdana, encounter same thing at roughly 120-130km/h on highway. The bonnet open up and hit the roof + windshield. damage cost: (1) Replace bonnet + 2x hinge (2) Fix dented roof (3) Replace cracked windscreen (4) Paint Few k gone wah, compare to your friend, I'm really much luckier.

QUOTE(jtcs87 @ May 19 2011, 04:42 PM) 185/60R14 Currently hunting for this kind of tyre for my proton wira 1.6 (A). Any brand to suggest on it? RM 200 as budget for each tyre. i don't think need till 200 for a tyre, last time only around 150, but recently heard tyre got price hike. am using Continental 1, but feel tyre quite fast to botak. Good Year also not bad. Silverstone last time use M3 but tyre sound quite loud due to its rubber is harder. QUOTE(AhKoo @ May 20 2011, 07:11 PM) install in fog lamp will do my fren! from jpj website, headlamp with HID is illegal, addtional hid lamp like fog lamp no problem.. dont make urself in trouble my fren, u are very desperate for now, but after u install, u will get regret! =) you got install HID at fog light? i also thinking to install at fog light due to sometimes driving at night time in ulu2 place with no road light.

QUOTE(amir_tengkorak @ May 23 2011, 11:24 AM) Yo guys, want to ask taikor2 here.. my friends wira 1.3 VDO,gila underpower one.. throttle body and plug cleaned, but it still underpower.. any suggestion? is it related to ECU? few thing that i know can cause underpower : 1. distributor not align optimally 2. if manual, worn out clutch plate and/or clutch disc 3. loss compression (valve seal leakage / piston ring worn out / gasket leakage) 4. exhaust setup too big for 1.3 (losing the back pressure) 5. worn out bearing at timing belt, gearbox, etc Wira 1.3 will feel more underpower compare to Satria 1.3 due to Satria lighter weight.

QUOTE(jtcs87 @ May 23 2011, 10:52 PM) Currently im faced a problem, when i going to start my engine. I found out that my dashboard that battery icon is not "ON". Just the Check Engine & Engine oil that icon "ON" only. Any idea on this? still can start normally? probably just the bulb spoil only. 1 bulb is very cheap.

QUOTE(jtcs87 @ May 25 2011, 01:40 AM) Today just change a recon dynamo & cost me RM 190.  4 Tyres from Continental CC5 for RM 200 per piece who know rear absober oil leaking extra paid for RM 320. More worst when doing alignment stuff & the front chamber is not straight cost me another RM 55 + the alignment ring at rear is loose & need to reset back need to pay more RM 240. What a good donation for today..  WTH... alignment + camber need pay RM240?? alignment should be free coz buy the tyres, and balancing free also. and what is alignment ring?? one set rear absorber is RM320?? what brand and model?? mine APM Performax rear set less than RM200. stock set absorber like Kayaba/APM only RM100 for both rear if not mistaken. i think you kena chop kau2 by the shop..
