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.

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.

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.

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.

congrats! do share ur experience.

nairud???

Fortunately for me, 3+ years no PW problems on my waja. Summore i use all 4 windows on a daily basis because i'm a smoker.

Perhaps u should get the PW changed at an authorized proton SC.
The metal brackets has been made available since 1 ½ years ago and are fitted on the newer wajas.

Dun change it at other workshops cos I suspect they are using the imitation stuff and made of plastic. You would be made to change again many times over the years...

As far as I know, the metal ones are from the same supplier for Toyota cars and are of the same grade. My fren knows the local supplier/manufacturer.

btw, leather seats at rm600 ? very cheap leh.........
