My 1995 1.5 wira Manual fc is like really crazy bad right now. like 240km, one full tank habis already.

Bring back to Eon Proton to top overhaul, come back one full tank until 320km only. Now hovering around 270km again. It doesn't move very fast either, 120km/h is the max or else the engine going to cry already.

However, I'm also stuck in jams 4 days a week, so dunno if that would affect so much or not.

emm, couples of points to check:
- how many load you have on car (how many ppl)?
- which brand petrol u using? (not sure only me or wat, Shell is having bad FC on my cars)
- when do top overhaul, got change piston ring?  got check the ring to cylinder wall clearance? would it be cylinder wall wear off or piston ring wear off causing bad compression rate?
- try full service or overhaul the carburetor. This is the thing i hate most of my wira 1995 auto (besides the 3-speed auto tranny).
- tyre pressure okay? >210 psi?
- tyre alignment okay?
- try don't put any useless stuff/load on the car (like heavy stuff which u dun use everyday)
- do u idling a lot (like waiting for ppl, besides the usual traffic jam)?
- aircond compressor working okay?  it got drag the engine or not...

my car is having as bad FC as urs too, even after full overhaul. Same year car, but it's auto. I am driving less than 10km/day, and i step on the accelerator and brake like siao lang, so expected the bad FC.

carb setting could be problem.. the carb itself could be 'dying'.. time to change the carb, perhaps?
im a GSRian.  biggrin.gif
1) good engine, spareparts easy to get. overtake car without downshift.  tongue.gif , FC better than my 1.5I auto.
2) a bit more than NA. i change engine oil at 3k++, mineral only.
3) engine PNP, no modification needed. JPJ approved.
4) no. since you're ready to do transplant, i would suggest to go for the turbo. for once, try it, and you'll love driving.  wub.gif

ur one from what engine to what engine? I figured if i'm going to spend more money fixing, might as well get another engine...now wondering what are the engine transplant rules...

it was 2++yrs ago. rm13k OTR.
with std GSR engine, i believe the chassis is strong enough to handle the power.
your car accident b4? to wat extend?

pretty badly, left fender all gone twice, first round car still can move no problem, second time the thing connecting the left wheel to the base of the car crooked.

first one some kembara on the left lane turn right in front of me so my lieft side hit his side, the fender just disintegrated

2nd one some assholes put so oil/sand at a turn, couldn't turn the car so i hit the wall at 30km/h.

So i would say it's pretty much not in good condition.

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.

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.

last time got those car workshop ppl try to "help" my uncle for his saga when it overheat. they say the radiator got problem, need change whole set, we say nvm wait a while first only fix. then when we went mamak stall and was talking loudly about the problem, some guy sitting next table came up and say maybe it's actually the thermo sensor mati or fan wire putus then found out really the fan wire putus already. saved so much money biggrin.gif

SP is? I tried 2 Manual Wira SE 2005.

1 completely no sound when i drive (5k more expensive)
another 1, i can listen the engine sound clearly inside the car.
*
sound proofing


some cars got extra sound proofing to help reduce all outside noises from being heard inside.

my one no sound proofing liddat one, outside rain also i can hear.

rm500-700 better just change the speakers and call it the day.... With such amount of money, nothing much can be done except make the sound worst....
