Cool~
Juz wondering, how does it differ frm stock??

I'm in the process of buying my first car, 2nd hand Kelisa 2001 (A).
Price is RM23,000.
Is dis a good deal?

sigh.... this thread is so dead... where are all the owners???

anyway... ive decided to chronicle the evolution of my car...currently the car is ALMOST complete.... the past 3 weeks has been quite hectic for me and the car....

the chonicle will definitely gonna take a few posts...so heres whatever i have first...

ive posted some of these in other forums but decided to post here as well...liven up the thread abit.

1st... years ago i broke 3 of the stock 13" rims...so i pinjam rims from my friends wira first.. looks better imho than the stock sport rims


then...after drooling for SIX LONG YEARS i finally managed to get muh hands on muh dream rims...these aint easy to find as theyre quite rare and have been out of production for a very long time. if got oso mostly expensive and/or condition like shit... the car looks damn high right??


so time to lower the car heres info i posted on the abs i got...posted this in another forum in BM..so translate urself la

take note that the abs are adjustable Hi-Low FRONT AND REAR. it is not soft-hard adjustable though

so after almost a year of the car looking the way it is... i decided to give the car a full makeover as a reward for being so good to me for the past 4 years...

so next up...

stripped the entire interior... driving the car in this condition is damn syiok man... so responsive in terms of throttle and handling. really feel like a racing car


removing unnecessary exterior parts as well...(notice the glass has been given a gold tint as well.


the body work preparation...yes yes...going for a complete respray...


thats all for now... more to come later

What is the mileage ?

hey guys... my wife drives a kelisa... so since i use it as well.. thought i'd just pop in to this thread and say hi...

it's a standard GX model... no modifications as she won't let me touch it... not even the rims..

i m kelisa owner also...but i din modify ....

UPDATES!!!

so to continue from the previous post.....aftrer bodywork is all done..of course its time to paint..so heres some pix of the car right after painting and baking...painted of course in my favourite color! RAWWRR!!

view from the front (no that aint me in the piture)


then view from the rear....


now heres the reason i stripped the interior as well...coz im spraying the interior too.... i hate seeing cars that arent done properly.. and i definitely dont want mine to be one of them...hence the spraying of the interior so that when i open the door all i see is black...and not red while the outer is black (get wat i mean or not ah?? lol)

notice the spare tyre compartment area is also shiny...normally that area isnt... but the dude who did the spraying felt generous lol


heres my spoiler after the painting....can anyone guess wat spoiler it is?? heh heh heh
heres a hint...its neither perodua nor daihatsu...


moar painted bodyparts


spoiler installed... just to give an idea of how it looks like....rims damn dirty hahahhaahha


picture of the engine bay (and my Zenden Strut Bar ). remember i said i dont like opening something and seeing the old red?? imagine opening up the hood and seeing the old color... UGH!!! hate that!! want something done...do it properly right?? so i had them paint the engine bay as well...they didnt remove the engine...just removed the necessary parts on the sides so that they could paint it.



the day before leaving the paintshop.. resintalling all the parts that were taken off...(still with bare interior coz my interior is some place else...that will be on the next update heh heh heh)


wat u guys think so far??? for those who are curious... the color is "Panther Black". it has a pearl effect... with certain lighting conditions ull see a hint of blue on the car. but otherwise the black is absolute darkness...

the paint catalog says its a color from BMW. and the catalog and actual paint job looks VERY different..brand of paint used was the high grade Dupont paint. only the best for muh Cutie Pie

wow... very nice paint job... very shiny as well!
good job... great color selection man...

hmm the spoiler? kinda looks like satria GTi's... is it?

whoops...forgot to put this in oso....2 things to notice in this picture...

1/ the new wind visors...replaced the stock small wind visor with a bigger one.

2/ the lack of antenna...my car is a first gen kelisa which means the antenna is above the drivers door. removed it, closed the hole and painted over it. the car doesnt have any external antennas whatsoever to give it the clean eterior look.



thanks...

madman, how much does it cost to respray the whole entire car?

inside out is 2.5k....

but not sure if it includes others like knocking and sanding etc etc or not...

coz mine not much knocking

wah madman, ur kelisa is cool
how much u make this ?

nice for the exterior..dude...

time to do some mod for the interior

Madman . Where did you paint your car? It looks uber cool.Feel like doing it too hahah.
And you removed the interior yourself?
Or the guy did it for you?

dude..i just posted the price right before ur post ler....

but thanks

interior not touching... only thing is thinking of putting in bucket seats...just dunno what seat to put yet... kelisa kinda tough coz interior is small so not all seats can go in.

subang deep behind summit.

the interior i got another shop to remove it and store it for me for a whole different reason

To remove the interior like that and fix it back costs you how much?And could they remove the dashboard also?
Cause I feel like doing whole refurbishing of interior and exterior next time(some long time later though).....
So wanna take out whole interior and remove/fix/tighten all the screw loose sounds and repaint car.

exact price just for removing and fix back interior i dunno la...

coz i did other things as well at that other shop (will be updated later)

the dashboard u can see from the pix they just cover only and didnt remove. too complicated for them i guess...either that or lazy... beides..there wasnt any real need to remove dashboard oso anyway.

as for fixing/ tightening all screws... i would suggest since ur doing all that...might as well go for chassis strengthening (spot welding) 1 shot....the ext owner of my old Civic EF did it for RM700 all around...dunno about the price now. once they fix back everything they tightened all the screws 1 shot

Wow.RM700 for fixing all screws plus spot welding?
Location?Good or not their service?
And would there be any risk involved?
Recently doing simply stuff also spoil my car....

location and service im not sure... coz i didnt do it...ex owner of the civic did before i even met the guy.

but i heard Jaafar exhaust in sunway does chassis strengthening as well... friend of mine did his 2nd gen Civic there in preparation for MME a few years ago.

dont know exactly where jaafar is...never been there before so i wouldnt know much.

feel like gonna go modify my kelisa looks like urs leh
