Bro, dont transplant to 1.5 SOHC, coz it's not much different, sooner or later u'll find that it's no Oomph anyway..

If u insist to change, get a 1.5 DOHC at least, the Oomph would be much much better..

For stock wira 1.3 and 1.5 engine, i think the max also around 6K-6.5K rpm.. so what for u wanna get a RPM meter? (wira 1.3L got original RPM meter? )

lol.. if u didnt witness the accident then u better not judge based on what u saw.. it is not neccesarry that the wira is straight collision head to tail with bmw rite

where to find 1.5 DOHC? whats the price?

yo bros.... my cousin saw this one wira advertised, for under RM40k, only 7 months years old. is the depreciation value too much?
from my opinion, it's quite a good buy since the car already going cheaper, by at least RM8-10k and just mature on the road.
I never owned a wira before, so totally have no experience (or interested to know about) on wiras.
what you guys say?

how far being pushed?mine close to 170kmh..now sure at how much rpm..as all 1.3 has no rpm meter..wakakaka..i was also tempted to get an rpm meter..but i guess it doesnt really matter now..unless you love to drag..

yeap..get a dohc..as a 1.3 driver...memang no powerrrrrr....but im satisfied with it lor..just that the car's handling is a lil out..yucks..

i believe max out at 6.5 also..though i dont know.. =P
if i had the cash..i'd go for a 1.6 instead... 1.3 doesnt have any rpm meter..suxxor

like madman said go for 1.6
Why?
chassis wise is better than 1.3 or 1.5.
having front & rear disc brake
16 valve

i am refering to stock

wanna transplant?
consider bout 1.5 MIVEC??

I am using an old (>10 years) Wira 1.6XLI here, black in colour
FC is okay (full tank can reach 550km/h, normal drive 80-100km/h)and fully stock, top speed was 180km/h on KESAS highway

Max power will be at 6000rpm, so if I drag I will push my 1st 2 gears till 6.5K rpm and then let the overdrive do the rest of the job (3rd gear)

Recently after change black oil, FC was terrible, cannot go as high as b4 liao, dunno wat happen, it is my mum's car anyway Issit due to the black oil? I don't know wether that guy use 15W or less, all I see is the Castrol GTX brand on it only
What is the best 1 to take for black oil for longer mileage? 10W/12W?

i would go for 1.6 mivec rather than 2.0 turbos.. =P
first..50% road tax.. XD
second..fuel economy..lol

just my opinion.. =P

Agreed.....
Goes for 1.6.... for 1.6 body is better...
i mean road holding as well as cornering.....
4-discs all round also...
better shocks and suspensions

But the main problem of 1.6 Wira is the Auto Gearbox having problem every 80k to 100k KM.....

Mine is around 83K, so far no problem yet

below are chassis model for wira

1.3,1.5 - C97

1.6 - C98

1.8 - C99

both 1.6 and 1.8 also have different chassis....
what's the different of C98 and C99???

C99 chasis is the stiffest also closes to MMC's Lancer chasis as it's double welded and double layer

how much it cost u?
u change the coil?
planning to change my coil... anyone can sugest good one?

Huh ??? I tot all Wiras are using the same chasis ??? Wow, baru today i realize Proton tahu use different chasis to suite the engine's performents.

Nop, only 1.3 and 1.5 share the same chassis.
BTW, i'm quite satisfied wif my 1.3GLi now, very good FC. Just did CAI and soundproof at boot area and i can really feel the difference

May I know how much you spend for soundproofing. Do you DIY or send it to workshop. What kind of stuff you used, vibramat. Very interested la. I heard that autofoam also is good for improving the NVH.
My 1.3 speed above 100 and the engine sound, tyre sound so loud and need to increase speaker volume. What a headache.

I see....
Thanks for the precious info...
Thank you.
