ic... no wonder my fren hv seal it from the air filter also.

Haha, yeah seen ur engine bay, totally sealed off

Only carburettor Wira's have this, it is supposed to help your engine warm up faster during cold starts by feeding warmer air into your intake. Cold engines are sluggish and this will help to get your engine to the right operating temp.

Mine was spoiled, the connecting part at the aluminium cover cracked causing the hose not able to fit properly. I was running without the hose for a while and noticed that my car really felt more sluggish in the mornings. Managed to get a compatible one (Mitsu Lancer I think) from a kedai potong for RM20. Now the engine is less sluggish in the mornings and gets up to temp quicker than before.

The door lock has a role to play also in giving you the new 'thud' sound that we always hear in new cars.
Changing to a new lock will help.

no wonder my old Ford had problems during night driving...the cold
last time my old Ford will "under-rev" during the night...instead of 1k RPM...it'll be at about 600 RPM when idle, traffic light area. Makes the car a bit shaky

I believe that part was there for a reason, it has its use even in our hot tropical climate.

Anyone of you all know how to increase the NVH on my car?
I noticed Im getting a lot of feedback from the road.. especially when I go on rougher road.

I plan to:
-change door seals..all door
-Sound proof the bonnet
- have soundproofing on the doors.
- change bushes (if it helps)
-Firewall (how to do?)

same here, donno wat to do, if your plans work please inform, the charges as well please

all these....are new to me

oh so that's what the hose is for. Thanks for explaining, I got a little worried when i saw mine cracked, i keep asking my servicemen but he always say "nothing one lar"... looks like he either stingy on knowledge or hes just don't know what is it for.

Anyone know where can I get my engine cleaned? I wanted to wash it but i'm worried ill flush unnecessary components with water

as the explanation above, it is for getting more hot air to make ur car worm up faster. send to the car saloon center lo... hehe...

Guys, im driving the 1st gen wira ,13 yrs old already. What im experiencing lately that during cornering to the right i can hear some "tak tak tak" sound at the rear wheel section.
What could cause this problem?? Thx

i dont think wat i'm goin to state here is ur answer, but i hope it helps.

i experience this tak tak tak sound before, but that is when i changed my engine oil to another brand. I red before in some other forum stating that this has sumthin to do with the type of engine (carb or injection) and it's engine oil. so what i did i started to use shell's engine oil (believing it's a good engine oil), well the tak tak tak sound now no more.

i juz afraid if i misunderstand the concept all together, hopefully the sifu's out there can elaborate and explain better.

few cents

u sure it's comming from the rear?

yup...rear

U sure ah?
mine tak tak tak is from the front and confirm its driveshaft problem
