Hi all,

I have a 1999 Iswara 1.3, and first time posting at a car club and have a few long questions that I would like to ask, please bear with me for being so noob.

1. My driver seat is getting uncomfortable. It is twisted as when I sit inside I can feel that my right upper body is more forward, and the left side of my hip is lower that the right. Making my backache, and my body difficult to balance when making corner. Any recommendation of good cushion refurbish workshop around Taman Connaught area? And if there's no fix but to replace, what kind of price range am I looking at for a replacement/new seat?

2.1 My headlights are very dim although the bulbs are quite bright, in roads of which normal cars would have a visible beams in front of the car, mine can't be seen. The accessory shop I usually goes to says that the problem is that my headlights are not original, the lens can't spread the lights nicely. He recommend that I replace my headlights with Bosch's for Iswara, ard 200++ each. Anyone have this issue? Can I take the guy's words?
2.2 For practical and aesthetic purposes, I would like to add on fog lights. What are the types of fog lights I can choose from? I am interested in getting Cibies, so far I found Hellas, again for 200++. Reasonable? Also, will fog lights drain a lot of power from the battery?

3.1 After so many years, my car's tinting are now clear as crystal. I was quoted, depending on heat resistant and quality: 400+,600+ and 1K+ for tinting all the car windows. Are these too expensive? I read elsewhere that others got their tinting done for below 300.
3.2 Price to replace windscreen?

4. The stock engine for my Iswara is inconsistent, sometimes it feels weak, sometimes it feels quite powerful (acceleration very fast, feels eager to be driven); sometimes it even depends on the weather (occasionally during cold days the performance feels better). The main thing that bothers me a lot is that the car is unable to quickly accelerate when it is already cruising at around 3-4th gear, when I stepped down on the accelerator it makes noise but the acceleration is not obvious, making it difficult and dangerous for me to, for example: overtake slow cars from the middle lane on highways. For comparison sake, I can't keep up with kancils on the highway (maybe it's normal? I dunno.). What can I do to increase, or at least restore the original performance of the car without totally overhauling the engine and burn holes on my wallet? Edit: Also, any reliable performance workshop can recommend?

Thanks!

Hey thanks for the info! Sorry for the late reply.

2) My accessory guy says out of stock dy. Saying that Bosch stopped producing headlight for Iswara.
But I will try the shops you recommended.

4) No mods, all stock.
Recommended me to change spark plug to Iridium spark plugs，Check exhaust and change better engine oil.

Thanks again.

Hi all I drive a 99 Iswara, I accidentally bought wrong kind of engine oil today, a 5w30 synthetic, can I use this engine oil to top up my engine which is now half empty with 20w50?
