My wira after stopped for quite some time the car will 'shiever' when started , warm up very slow and sometimes engine will turn off out of a sudden if drive it straight away wiithout warming up ! Anyone have this sort of problem and anyone has the solution or knows the problem bout this ? I suspect the petrol i pammed is contaminated with water. . . any ideas ?

Highway driving is not so petrol consuming as moderate speed all the way while city driving otherways ! My wira 1.3(M) with 195/60 15" rims can only do approx 250km with RM75 (city driving), seldom go outstation, so dun really know the highway comsumption yet. Wira actually quite makan minyak , the needle will remain quite high for the first 100km, then after going 100km, needle drops rapidly !!! That's my experience.

Just my centszzz !

Wira ori exhaust is 4-1, try fitting in 4-2-1, heard it will help in acceleration. Not very sure bout that . . .

But i have tried full-synetic on my wira few years back and the problem arised is the "Minyak Hitam" just somehow "evaporated" and hilang. . . One day when checking the oil level after long distance travelling few hours before, i found that the oil level is close to nil, quickly added oil, imagine the concequences !

What's relay ???

Btw, it is not advisoble to have rear disc brake in low CC cars(esspeacially wira 1.3) as the acceleration in such cars are not as much as those with higher cubic capacity. . . There is a reason why engineers merched a pair of disc and a pair of drum for low CC cars. It is also dangerous if the car's(espeacially light cars) rear disc brake is not fine tune by an experienced mechanic. . . imagine ur rear brakes "eat" more than ur front brakes in an emergency braking situation. . . imagine when cornering. . . Therefore, it is not advisoble.

U should be able to get one from Brother's at around RM200++ excluding paintjob. Paintjob should cost another RM1x0, depents on type of paint.

If u wan less trouble, u can acctually order from Paint shop oso, they shold have contacts for these bumpers. . .
