Hai sifu2,

My bro thinking to buy Waja from his friend...

Details of his friend's Waja:

2001
Warna silver, enjin smooth dan xde leaking,
pick up. Xpernah buat ape2 pd enjin,
luaran sgt cantik lg. Skirting baru siap sembur smula.
Dah siap spotlight, sensor n alarm system dah ade.
Sport rim 15, tayar 55. Masih boleh guna setahun lebih.
Dalaman kemas, leather seat, karpet siap, radio dah tukar cd player, berkilat lg dalamannye.

its okay or not?

so the new car who gonna pay the installment?

carrera_gt@
4g18 is well known for its reliability but you did not mentioned the most important part ; the price?

v12kompressor - i have to work lor =.=.. now i decide to work and handle the waja installment myself.. since got 3 more years only..

Opps..forget..haha
Rm22k..its okay or KO?

From what you described, sounds about right, slightly cheaper actually. Bought my 2001 for 23k, spent a couple more grand to replace parts.

If it's someone you know, try to get maintenance record.

Will a lot of part have to changed?

ok2, noted..thanks

Good for you. Nothing beats owning that you paid for by yourself (Even if just partially la)

Keep the Waja and take care of it.

Added on October 19, 2011, 12:07 pmWell like I said, if you can get the maintenance record then you know what's been changed and what's not.

I change the timing belt, two pair of tulangs in the rear wheel, door handles, carpet, handbrake lever, belt buckle etc. Things like the timing belt are essential so I don't wanna risk having a worn belt in the car, others are more for aesthetics and comfort.

If the car never changed the fuel pump or fuel pump relay, I suggest that you change it. Both should be no more than RM600-RM700. That is one of Waja's most notorious component.

Oh I also got the dealer to change the engine oil before delivering the car.

perghh..high risk..hehe
thanks for full details..

must seek a good mechanic rite?

A good mechanic is a must. I'm still looking for one...If you found one in KL or Cheras, let me know!

Good thing is, you know the seller. If anything go wrong....go burn down his house

EDIT: Just in case you misunderstood my previous post, most of the things that were change was preventative measure, not because they broke down.....well except the fuel pump relay that broke on the highway

No idea how good is Waja's handling / ride. Compare to my sis's Vios, my Waja's suspension feels hard, but more stable. On Connaught highway, the Vios tend to wobble at high speed, the steering is all over the place. My Waja steering is stiffer, but at least is stays still, no need to constantly adjust. Power....reasonable I guess. Wait til I save money to reflash ECU then I'll tell you again

I don't corner at high speed, so I'm not the best person to ask

The seller must have done something real bad to you ..

very scare if sell to you guise how do the seller knows that the part is going to kong just after u bought it?

ride is fine for a proton car. the waja 4g18 lose out to the campro version in term of nvh but it made up for
the lower rpm torque availability and not at higher rpm as those of campro.
handling is actually one of the waja's biggest advantage. the multi-link rear with arb could take any punishment.
just make sure to choose a good set of tyres.
as for the power, the 1.6 sohc is barely enough to haul the car. for those with bigger balls, good enough
to reach 193km/h. waja 4g18 auto return about 650km on full tank.

nak test duluuu

Hey all..

it's me again.

1) my battery is still new and it kong-ed few days ago. Then i took that batt back to the factory for warranty and the technician said the battery wasn't faulty, it's just that my terminals are dirty. This is the thing that i encountered. I turned my key to ignition, everything is still ok. But once i want to start my car, my car "black" out immediately and got no more power. So, is it my battery prob or the terminals? battery was measured by volt meter and shown that it's fully charged. That guy return my battery and installed it for me in the evening and everything was fine, but I was unable to start my car AGAIN just a while ago. So how do i clean my terminals? or how much is the price of new terminals?

2) I'm using Semi sync engine oil and I'm thinking to change to fully sync on my next service. Is there any side effects or whatsoever?
