If u want cheaper alternatives to solve ur absorbers problem, u can try sourcing for a fullset of Mitsubishi Lancer 1.6L or 1.8L that have stiffer spring rates. It comes with the absorbers & coilsprings together. The prices ranges between RM280-350 depending on condition of the absorbers.

If ur rear absorbers is the main culprit, then u can custom fit a pair of Honda Integra DA6 model. I've tried it before & it performs up to my expectation until i upgraded to adjustable coilovers 3 years ago.

As for changing to Mitsubishi Mirage front bodyparts, u'll have no issue with it WITH THE CONDITION of removing the Mitsubishi 3-star logo from the bonnet hood. I've been running with Mitsubishi bodyparts for the past 5 years & none of either PDRM Trafik or JPJ stopped me before.

My 1.5l Wira with manual transmission can only reach 350-380km from full tank to almost empty before the "Petrol sign" even start flashing.

Pretty bad fuel efficiency, huh ?

i believe you drive crazily...
mine reach 560KM

Yours is city driving more or highway? If highway the FC should be better

Mine ar, 9am LDP and 6pm LDP lo. Traffic jam to and fro until no strength to scratch my balls.

I am starting to take PLUS highway everyday to university liao. No more jam.

I think i can reach 400+km if use PLUS everyday. Pay for Touch n' Go in order to improve FC.

where to find a re-chipped MMC ecu? My Wira quite underpowered and I think it's because of the lean running Siemens ECU

I hope its not too hard to source for those in penang

Really? HMm.. But i see some cars kena stop wor? so dunno can put anot.. Maybe sum of those wan to buat kacau wan.. they can just kacau kua?

Also, On stock rims..Normally how much air u pump into your tyres?
Mine i pump at 200psi. The label by my door writes 220... Should I follow the label? Or should I just stick to 200? And will pressure of 220 increase my fuel efficiency?

Starting no need to accelerate that much ler, for me I drive I'll slowly pick up the speed unless a lot of ppl at the back then only accelerate more

Reach till 70km/h, I'll let go around 5% of the throttle and wait for the 4th gear to come, then can save a lotta fuel adi Normally in highway just 10% throttle only, thats how I save a lot through this technique of mine, sometimes I tap tap the throttle in order to let go some power so that the ECU will change to 4th gear on the highway (3rd gear rpm higher so more fuel eaten). I used this only in highway, city driving cannot lor, people will horn

hey i hav a wira which is already 9 yrs old plus.... when i bought my car (9 yrs ago la...) i've installed the window tint for the whole car... rm400++ deno wut brand... now it's all worn out n peeling off... booked a new honda city but plan to keep the wira for my sis to use for around 3 more yrs b4 i go to work n get another new car =) (hopefully)

question is, i just wan to get a cheap cheap tint... no vkool / rike cool pls...
saw the advert on air cool for rm250 whole car... is it ok? just wan the car to look good, nvm if it's hot coz seldom use also...
or is the offer from brothers better? rm188 for whole car except front windscreen... v good / sun good...

thanks in advance!

U looking for a good tinting film for ur Wira? Try contact me at 012-205 3378 or 016-393 9682 (Andy) & i'm happy to help u. Whole car (Wira) including front windscreen (2 windscreens & 4 windows) for less than RM300 firm! It all depends on ur budget as we got cheaper priced tints also. Interested?

I believe that chop shops in Penang have these items/parts i stated in my previous reply. As for the JPJ/PDRM Trafik issue..... it all depends on ur luck ler.... if the officers is not in good mood then be prepare to talk cock with them.

As for original 13" tyres, the ideal air pressure to pump into the tyres is around 170 based on the pump gauge in petrol stations. Dun overpump as it will lead to uncomfortable ride for ur car.

Its best to follow the car manual for tyre pressure

Yea..the recommended is like 220..i think thats quite a lot rite?
I pump like 200 only..

Nd, may I know where to source the component. Is it from the 'kedai potong'. I just want to stiffer my rear as three passenger will press down the car and the body touch the bumper. Should I change to stiffer coil spring or change the absorber.

Mine I put 30psi front and 31psi for the back

Wira 1.6XLi
HELP~!
fuel consumption high~!
what can I do to decrease the fuel consumption dramatically?

Whats your FC stats of your car?
More towards city driving or highway?

City driving... hrmms

@shinjite
20 Ringgit u can go how far?

My 1.5Gl auto wira rm70 can only go around 350-400. 70% city 30% highway.
COnsidering overhauling my engine since pick up is fuking slow.
