From what i understand and experienced, the PWR (Power) mode changes gear at higher RPM (and usually wont change to the top gear at all) - so you have more power and faster acceleration. Also the gearbox downshifts quicker when you slowed down

Whereas the ECN (Economy) mode will change gears as normal, using the most fuel efficent setup as possible, and often it wouldnt really downshift to the lower gear unless its really slow.

Can anyone recommend a reliable potong shop to find wira parts?

Thanks!

Hello guys Wira 1.3 Carb (1996 ) user here

Just wondering.

1) How much does it take for a shop to install car alarm? I have the alarm unit with me, just need it installed.

2) Can I ask an accessory shop to fix my dashboard? I just got another dashboard, and wanted to change mine. How much would it take?

Lastly,

3) Could you recommend any reliable shop to carry these works in Sunway/Puchong area. I frequent Sunway, but there's so many shops there I don't know where to start.

Changing to Mitsu dash, yes. along with the aircond too. ANy reliable recommended place to do ? How about the estimated charge?

Actually they did offer installation, I'm just asking for second opinion. They quote RM230 for installation (meter wiring, digital aircond, dashboard). Is that reasonable?

By the way, I've been wondering what is this:


The pipe that connects between the exhaust part and the air intake part. I'm always confused about what is this. I asked a few servicemen and they say "it's nothing". Can anyone help me explain what is that part?

Edit : oh, that's a 1.3M carb wira engine that is due to be cleaned. I'm always postponing the cleaning x.x

I see, but what is it for?

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

Anyone here have Wira 1.5 meter panel and/or dashboard for sale?

I know, but my wallet said "cannot!!" lol

Can you guys recommend a reliable workshop to switch my dashboard from stock wira to mitsubishi lancer's ? I have the dashboard (complete with meter, aircond, etc) ready, just need a place to install it. I'm from cyberjaya, but don't really mind travelling aroudn KL

I'm driving 1.3 carb, and yes it have power steering.

p/s: you meant "Wira" right? not Waja?

I agree on the underpowered part. My comparison with a colleague between my wira 1.3 M and his 1.5M shows that he actually saves fuel because of his power/torque. My journey everyday involves a few slopes that forces me to shiftdown to a real low gear in order to get the car moving, while he can just zoom in with a higher gear.

I'm thinking of upgrading the engine to at least 4G15 or 4G91 soon, since that's the only cheapest way to go (rather than fiddling with lots of things that cost you a lot but only can achieve so much)

But there's one drawback on this - the low-powered engine car chassis are usually are not that strong to withstand the bigger engine. I guess those who did this better not to aim for very high if they value their lives

Kayaba if i'm not mistaken. Recently i replaced the whole set of stock absorbers, my 10 year old stiff ride turns back into the comfort ride

Just wondering, would it be expensive to fit in a SRS Airbag into a non-SRS equipped wira? How about ABS?

So there's no way to fit ABS in? That was my question anyway

Question, even if the wira is 1.3 or 1.5 only, but if we fix a rear disc brake, it will improve on the handling anyways right?

A relay is an electronic switch, where the switch is turned on and off by means of electric current. It is usually square, black in color with at least four legs And they usually make some kind of clicking sound (not really audible sometimes) when they operate

1.3 has good fuel consumption

Aiyooo... next time do it at open parking lot la!
