i got a few question that is
1st
are those satria 1.3 and 1.6 chassis have it own different ??
2nd
if i mod the satria 1.3 body with a 1.8 or 2.0 CC engine in will there have any chassis problem ? (like break or pecah separuh ??)

because many many satria 1.8gsr or 2.0evo in satria body 1.3 ....
and i wanted 2 buy but then scare have chassis problem with it........ and all those seller with 1.3 satria chassis already done JPJ endorsment....... so 100% can pass JPJ .......

BTW i ask so much is not about JPJ endorsement is about safety ........ using a HIGH power ENGINE in a 1.3 chassis is abit scary ...... so before i make a move wanted to understand wat is the COns and Pro by buyying a High power engine in a 1.3 satria body.....

correct me if im wrong, but i believe 1.6 and 1.3 are similiar in body.. only gti got a lot of difference due to more chassis strengthening... if suspension/brakes/etc etc change ady, there shouldnt be a reason to worry about having a tarbo engine in a 1.3 body

if i remember correctly, for wira 1.3 and 1.5 is same chasis, while the 1.6 and 1.8 is using a different chasis..
i would've expected the same for satria, but i could be wrong..

I'm not sure, but a lot of ppl tell me 1.6 body is not the same as 1.3. Satria GTi's body is even better!

read the other thread, and it is mentioned something like C96 chasis for 1.3/c98 for 1.6 and c99 for 1.8..

Yeah, kevin613 is correct. But I think TS is asking whether C96 and C98 is the same apart from the name.

last time friend wanted to buy satria 1.3 convert evo just like u its already endorsed etc......after close inspection by him and his mechanic he decided not to....chasis has visible cracks....

1.3 weakest chassis.

careful of converts using 1.3 chassis, might not be tough enough, especially if the engine is

same platform but different welding spot area

this is good info... b4 this thought 1.3 and 1.6 similar

indeed!.
my mechanic stripped a 1.3 and 1.6 satria before. different in chassis strength is obvious.
1.3 are of single 'stitch' while 1.6 was 'double stitch / welding'. this translated into 1.6 chassis is almost twice stronger
than those of 1.3 chassis.
TS should consider 1.6 chassis to start with. else, stripped the 1.3 chassis and do spot welding before doing any engine transplant.

any recomended place that can strengthen my 1.3 satria body? except by using UR bars and autofoam...
