lighten up your car. Waja's upholsteries weighs around 20kgs.

regarding the mods, let me get the ball rolling....

i got my waja decat and change to 4-2-1 extractor (zenden)

result?? overall the car felt lighter, more powerful at low rev especially around 1k to 2k rpm.....
feel a lot nicer when moving around the city

regarding the FC? still monitoring....
will post update later...

hmmm.... interesting.

hows the noise level?
what type of mid-pipe replacement for the cat ? S-type or straight?
back exhaust box still ori?

sorry lah... many questions. thx in advance.

noise ar....em, after changing extractor the sound is more towards low humming.....

the low humming noise actually covered the mushroom intake noise.... it sounded more comfortable now

mid pipe till exhaust still stock......

no money for further mods, coz i think not much difference also....

major mods that i've done :

ECU remapping

Done by a team of Korean technicians/mechanics who are based in Singapore.
Big improvement on low/middle end torque.
Another thing i noticed is that my waja can climb hills smoothly at more than 80kph at only 2500 rpm . last time need abt 2.8k.
Acceleration has certainly improved a lot, even on my 16'' rims.
Accelerating from 80 kph to 130kph is so easy now.

have yet to fiddle with tthe exhaust cos is kinda tricky based on what i've heared. definately my next project when got time.

interesting!

how much is the ECU remapping cost u?
i saw a company charging RM999 for so called stage1.....

ur improvement is similar to mine.....
when i climb hill using 3rd gear, with 15~20% throttle, my rpm used to drop, then i have to throttle to 50% to downshift to 2nd......
now can use 3rd gear constantly.... with 15%~20% throttle...
revving fr 1k to 3.5k was smooth and nice
did ur ecu mod contribute to higher FC??
btw, i am driving waja auto.... how bout u?

Yeah..... RM999 is what I paid.

But still considered cheap lor if compared with what Singaporeans are paying. For the same program with their 1.6GLX Mitsubishi lancers, i think they are paying abt S$650.

As u know, Waja 1.6(A) suffers on low end torque. Even altis 1.6 and nissan 1.6 suffers the same thing. Remapping the ECU in my opinion is the easiest and simplest way to upgrade the performance of the engine. What the mapping does is to shift the power band towards more torque at low and mid rpm for better acceleration and response. The engine wont strain as much.

With regards to FC, in the 1st month my mileage was in the region of 480-520 km for a full tank. Quite low but must consider the fact that I wuz happily revving away till 4k-6k rpm!!

Now having reverted back to my normal driving style can get abt 550-580km per tank-up. FC about the same or improve by 10% depending on how you drive after mapping.

wrong account...

whao RM 999 for remapping?
what do they actually do? i went to protom service center and check my car. they just plug my car to a pc ( i think so =/) and said nothing's wrong with it.

the engine revving sound for my waja is kinda loud. maybe i'm used to drive cars like crv or accord. but i kinda like the vtec sound though =p.

anyone here mooded the exterior of their car? i wanna make it to be more sports looking. i'm gonna respray to black soon ( they previous owner didnt mantain the car). anyone can recomend me soem mods on the exterior? bumper, rims?

I'm happy to announce that I just got a Waja Campro

Woooo!@!!

by the way... who's the president for the club ?

what u did at SC is normal MUT tuning only. it actually just involves calibrating the throttle body. does not in anyway alter its performance band.

Exterior ah? for me nothing much.
1) 16'' light weight rims
2) rear spoiler come with brake lights. the low profile type, not the 'ahbeng' high profile type.

should we have a Member list?

congrats! do share ur experience.

nairud???

i was taking of changing my rim to 16" too. i has my eyes on a brand called ICE, dunno how much or how good it is though. changing the rim to 16" means that iw ill have to change my whells too right? it would burn a hole in my wallet , as if my wallet's not thin enough. T_T

i'm gonna get a spoiler too =p. the type than came out after the first batch waja. my 2001 wja deos not have a spoiler.

how bout a bumper mod for waja? it's just 2 pieces of plastic right =p i doubt it would cost that much money. i wanan make my car to look abit lower

darn i'm missing my car sooo much now...

what kind of spoiler you install? any photo?

Hey guys!!..just wanna ask ..how to modify my waja(m)1.6??where should i start??

thank you in advance..

Me?

anyway, talking about goin up a 30degree hill, last time with my saga, i can use 3rd gear and turn up the hill. with my waja? a disappointment indeed, i have to engage 2nd gear before i go up the hill.

remapping ecu cost 999? too bad i can't afford it now.



First thing you need to ask yourself, what kinda things you want? More comfortable or more sporty feel?
