I travelled back to my hometown, near manjung perak from Penang Island. Total distance covered 450km with rm50 Petronas Fuel. Drove at nite with relatively high speed all da way 110kmph . Love my 1.6A, stil performs well though it's 7.5years.

mine 1.5M, rm55 cover 400km, half city half highway drive, speeding ada, breaking ada...

Wow, drive mostly on highways, damn syok if wanna save fuel XD

I've experienced the exact same problems u did eventhough I took care of my engine so well. Somehow, problems still arise with it. Looks like we both got conned by proton huh.... ... Do what I did, save up as much as possible, don't even bother about improving your wira (regular service still needed of course), then trade-in for a vios or a city. I can easily hit 620kms with RM70 of petrol with vios long distance driving. Town driving also I can still hit 450kms and above. And best of all, no problems with the car (touch-wood).

if i not mistaken, wira and satria 1.3/1.5
they share the same spec of absorber.

for wira and putra 1.6/1.8
same spec also

if u wanna put 1.6 spec absorber into a 1.3/1.5, it is possible but u need to mode the place to put the absorbers

oi sitiawanese...come home didnt gave me a call...

wah, take care of enging still got arise problems like ckkean?

sometimes it's not that wira is bad.. it's jz proton's QC SUCKS! some of their cars are okay... like my house got 3 wiras.. say what u like but it's cheap n it serves its purpose.. currently 2 are okay... i mean other than those power windows n all... engine wise 4 d 1st wira(1.5M) which is around 15 years now, all's good, powerful n can go around 450+ wif RM70.. then there's the 1.5A that's weak in mileage around 300++ at RM70... both are also mostly for towndriving n during the time when i use was in seri kembangan area.. kinda jam.. the other 1 i not sure but that's the new 1 with fuel injection.. the other 2 are carb engine.. maybe gonna get another 1 soon 4 me~ haha.. so what's d mileage 4 wira 1.5M fuel injection engine.. i heard it's kinda underpower but how's the fc?
it's either wira or iswara.. if wira's maintainance n fc is not muc diff from iswara then gonna get wira.. otherwise iswara.. mind 2 comment?

whichever you feel is better. To me, there isn't much difference between Wira and Iswara besides the shape and interior. Generally QC is the same so.... I prefer Iswara's exhaust noise though

I feel like removing the Wira badge behind the car. Does anyone know if the badge is just a sticker or is it "molded" onto the car?

hi all
i av an auto wira SE.the prob is this car is too lowered.is it about its absorber@else?what shud i do to make it a lil bit higher(at least not sangkut at every bumper)...
im afraid that if i change the absorber(or watever part mechanic ask to change),the prob is still exist..
-some say that i need to change to 15' rims.but is that the only way to overcome dis prob???
need advice.thnx

i tot this thread die liao.. wira not so active.. hehe

wah.. dillemma.. if wira hav 2 wait later.. iswara can get straight.. no rushin 2 get car now but hope can get faster.. wanna use 2 go around d~ hehe

use bigger rims with rally type of tires, sure high 1 XD

Previously I have the same problems as yours.

But once I replaced my exhuast system + piping , the problem solved.

As I know,the stock exhaust is bigger below,hence,when you go through those bumpers,it will hit it. I replaced it with stainless steel piping + straight flow muffler which is more compact.The mechanic installed it high up to the available spaces.Therefore won't hit the bumpers again

owh,really??thnx larkowen.that is absolutely helpful.

change spring... ur absorber spring is lowered type. try to get those stock spring not SE type

correct me if im wrong

Other than changing your stock exhaust,you may replace your spring with the normal one as mentioned by kazami.

May I join the club....
Wira SE here....

As stated above... what type and brand of spring is recomended?
huhuhu

same problem and same rectification work applied. in the end, my dad also changed the whole exhaust system. now can park in the car porch without scraping the pavement upon entry.

welcome bro...
u wan lowered ride or normal ride?

to avoid bumper... from hitting the exhaust.... is it enough to change to xhaust only... or need to change the spring too
