Hello guys, I'm a new 2nd hand wira owner. Damn, my "P" license will be end in Feb 07, but now only i get my own car instead of my sister getting her car b4 she get a license. Well i wont blame my parents.... i blame the economic crisis v having now.

Anyway, can i start wif my story? I mean questions...

I'm a noob driver ya. First my wira is around 10 yrs old, which is the dark brown color one (Ermm i think u guys know which one). It says that 1.5 (probably GL) and it's auto.

This car was own by my grandfather (he like never press the oil pedal, makes the car underpower), wat i heard is, he changed the wira from manual to auto, therefore beside my metre there is no gear indicator.

Now i wonder it is still the old 3 gear box or 4 gear box. Coz running highway without 4th gear for auto is like pouring my money to the sea.... Well, my father tested b4, 50% highway + 50% city runs 314 (shown in the metre, i wonder it is miles or km) with Rm52 fuel. I wonder it is normal for wira like this....

Sorry that my words are messed up, hope u guys understand ^^

p/s: I dunno when they change the manual to auto, wat i know is, it happened long time ago. My grandpa sent to proton to major repair the car cost Rm5000++ (only fix engine parts) And my mileage is 161,000++

Lemme see, Your car is probably the same like mine.. 1.5 Carby (auto).
Power wise. Sorry lar..cant help much..even mine suxx..on stock that is.. Dont know if a modded one will be better. Try going up genting with 4 ppl in the car..

Traveling on highway is O.k only. at 110-120km/h RPM reaches 3.5-3.8k..so you better make sure the NVH is better.. If not you will have a hellalottafun sitting in the car . rm70 of petrol can take me from Penang, Up to Gentings, and down to Tg. Malim...Which is..er..pretty Ok i guess considering the amount of petrol i need to floor while going up.

BTW, auto gearboxes in Wira is usually 3 gears..Unless its the 1.6XLi or the 1.8Xli versions.

old car can going up genting? mine 1 can't go up anymore, only can reach until cable car there... haih..

Can lar..dont say until so kesian like that
Just inch up lor..
Lol.

It aint kancil ler..Hahahaha

kancil also can go up genting la...

i din take to any shop to clean it... i clean it myself only.

NVH i got no idea, FC is the fuel consumption.

jeffery , rm 52 is not full tank rite... and can run up to 314 km for wira.. is a bit normal... coz even my 1.3cc manual car wif rm 50 petrol onli can up to 320 on city driving..or maybe less than tat... so chill.. is ok.. don't go keep fix the engine and waste your money... if ur car underpower.. transplant onli lor...
