When the fuel lights came up, there's still remaining 15 litres of fuel left inside the fuel tank for Wira. This only applies to original Proton Wira's 2-wheel fuel tank (both injection & carb model). I've personally tried driving until car stopped when the fuel light lighted up. My Wira was originally a 1.5L auto export specs.

I'm currently running LanEvo 3's 4-wheel fuel tank & i spent RM95 for fuel tank. I'm running with hybrid MIVEC & able to clocked 450-460 kms full tank with the current price of petrol. Previously fitted with 4G63T VR4 rojak & only clocked 380 km max with full tank of petrol (RM 80). FYI, my car is a '96 Wira sedan & fitted with piggyback engine mgmt.

Wira is indeed the best bang for ur buck car! Those spare parts is bloody cheap & easily available from chop shops! Anyway, i've converted almost every part of my Wira to JDM Mitsubishi parts except the chassis & rear tail-lamps.

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.

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.

Open pods & drop in filters doesnt have large significant difference. Just that the design of it that appeals to certain drivers only. I would agree with shinjite that open pods have faster filteration if compared with drop-in but the percentage of both getting dirty is just the same. There's no such thing as open pods getting dirtier that drop-in........ it just depends on what's the road conditions which the driver(s) always travels at.

All filters will get dirty faster if the road conditions they travelled is dusty & stuffy (as like construction sites, etc.). Some drivers would prefer to have better filteration for their car & that's where the drop-in filters comes in. For those more "spirited" drivers who prefer louder & effective filteration improvement for their car........ open pods suits them best.

I've been using open pod filters for few of my cars till now & damn, it's good for me currently. Hahahahaa........ had it fitted on my Wira hybrid MIVEC, Waja auto, Kelisa auto & BMW E30 manual. All working flawlessly for me & i noticed better response in terms of acceleration & mid end powerband.

Didnt noticed that there's a topic dedicated just for Proton Wira owners. Well, myself is one of the Zaptor Gold user for few of my cars & i noticed that my Wira sedan running with hybrid 1.8L mivec able to get faster response even before my mivec engaged. Once mivec engaged, able to get much more response coupled with smoother revving all the way to redline. Works pretty well with piggyback ECU such as eManage, Apexi PowerFC, etc.

Zaptor Gold does improve overall car response for acceleration, few of my colleagues able to get shorter time period from 0-100 kmh before & after fitted those Voltage Stablizer gadgets & grounding cables. Yup, it's true...... headlamps & radio reception is noticeable better with voltage stablizer fitted.

As for FC, RM100 of BHP Infiniti 97 RON fuel able to give me 620 km for city driving. If i travelled, managed to clocked 750 km for a tank of RM100 fuel. I would consider that my FC is pretty affordable & good for a fully modified Wira running with racing cams, full race twin-plate clutch & eManage piggyback.

I managed to achieved the 200hp on wheel mark for my 1.8L MIVEC hybrid setup. Trying to located my dynoed sheet in my filing before i can correctly provide the torque output of my Wira. I would like to send it for another dyno session by the end of this coming June to c whether there's any improvement after some tweeks which i've made to it.

To those of u who would like to replace ur Wira's current suspension, do PM me for recommendation to get good price quotation from my friend's shop who specializes in suspension system located in Serdang light industrial area.
