QUOTE(blurry_mind82 @ Sep 17 2011, 08:30 PM) So, after changing the tyre, it should be okay ? But i think i have to use it for another 2-3 months until have enough money to change the tyre. Thanks a lot.. U just make me felt a bit relief..  Or alternate way get an Adjustable Suspension QUOTE(Lineage @ Sep 18 2011, 07:49 AM) So which mean..if we upgrade bigger rims but using correct profile, speedo meter still will be accurate? Let say from 175/70R13 to 195/55R15..  Try this http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

QUOTE(4128 @ Sep 18 2011, 10:39 PM) Anything to do with gear oil? Last changed is early of last year but actually this weekend i am planning to change engine, gear oil & oil filter. maybe the oil too long and not good already. think back of your symptom sounds like your engine need warming up too long. or maybe your thermostat broken at always open position.

guys guys, im using 205/16/55 for my car. i can assure u, it didnt hit the fender but slightly if u hit bump with speed >60kmph. how u need to do is try to get "absorber booster". it is a rubber fitted to your spring. to make more sporty, put 2" rubber (its called mounting rubber) at the rear absorber.

So i trust him. LOL. but half cut shop in penang island dont have ler, must go until kedah i think. so i think went the the halfcut shop oso cost my petrol and time already so actually its the same la i think. P.s im lazy. haha. absober i was thinking to change it other time to better one like Gab or wad so i din ask him to change absorber.

Take your time bro..I got my Wira as second hand 2 years + ago..until now still not yet finish repair wear and tear parts and some minor problem parts.. Just make sure your important parts settle..you mentioned oil leakage? at which part? if its just a little bit, you can just ignore first since your budget tight right? Then save your money to do full overhaul..sekaligus solve your problem + gain performance back
