Guys, I'm going to replace my abs + spring for my wira 1.3 soon...need some opinion here... biggrin.gif

how much stiffer is Sachs Super Touring absorber compare to standard absorber?..

Anyone use HD Armedues spring before?...

Should i go with Sachs ST abs + HD Armedues spring or Sachs ST abs + ori spring?...

As this is a daily car...i'm driving around 30km++ to reach my workplace and the road condition is bad...will butt hurt if my ride is too stiff and bumpy... doh.gif

Guys, tml i will be sending my wira for a service...will replace the valve seal as well...cause its consuming engine oil already...

i plan to use semi syn engine oil...should i go with caltex havoline semi syn or mobil semi syn?...

Mobil only produce 1 type of semi syn engine oil?...i mean the Mobil Super 2000...or there is other type of mobil semi syn?

My last weekend project,  flex.gif

user posted image

Bought this 1.5 VDO meter cluster and replaced it with my original 1.3 meter without tachometer. Initially the tachometer having some issue due to bad solder, after I resoldered the circuit board then everything is working fine.
I noticed that the right side of the meter near Temp and Fuel gauge are having dimmer backlight........

Nice... drool.gif
How much u bought the meter cluster?...
Plug and play to 1.3 VDO?...
Yours is black or white background?

i'm driving 1.3 VDO too... biggrin.gif

Thanks fellows biggrin.gif Looking forward to getting some great mileage. Gonna do city driving most of the time, if i can get 400km that'll be some good money spent on this car smile.gif
*
i'm also driving a 1.3 manual...with RM65 ron95 @ RM1.90, i could get more than 410km with city driving all the time and the fuel indicator haven light up yet...Due to my fuel gauge is not accurate, i always pump my petrol around 400km of driving...so not sure how much more km i can go till the fuel indicator lights up.... biggrin.gif


Added on May 26, 2012, 11:05 pmGuys, sometime my car will vibrate or die off when the air-con kick in when the car is static....so i'm thinking to send my car for a TB service.....

My foreman told me that those MMC got ISC gear to control the idle and VDO is using some kind of "magnet" instead of gear...Can the magnet thingy be service or replace?...

Guys, i drive a 2002 wira 1.3 Manual...need some advice on my wira problem.... sad.gif


I was cruising @ 120km/h for a minute or 2 on the highway just now...then a car wanted to overtake me, so i let go the pedal and slow down to 100km/h....after that when i try to accelerate, i can't feel the power and still stuck at 100km/h..i try to step more on the pedal but still not accelerating....

After that, my car vibrate when i'm cruising constant 60km/h @ 4th gear, if i try to accelerate, my car will vibrate....the vibration isn't that obvious during 1st > 2nd > 3rd gear...but once i reach 60km/h @ 4th gear, i can feel the vibration...when i'm driving up hill, i feel total loss of power and vibrate even stronger... cry.gif the vibration isn't from the steering, i can feel its from the engine...

i'm thinking could it be the spark plug?...but i have just change during the last service and drive 2000km since the last service...but the previous spark plug i change only last me 5000km...could it be the spark plug cable got problem?..or the distributor?...

BTW i'm sending the car for a check up tomorrow...but any sifus here can share your thoughts and experience?...
i was hoping it was nothing serious... sad.gif
