QUOTE(Vervain @ Feb 4 2007, 10:54 PM) yup. very normal. used to own a 97 model 1.5A. problem with it is the lousy 3 speed auto. problem comes when you run on highways. 3k rpm is around 90 km/h and when you stay too long on 140km/h, you will see the temp needle going up to hot and you get to stop by at the side of the road to have a cup of tea. new 1.5 wira auto already comes with 4 speed auto. so this problem is a pass. my experience has been twice over heating and once radiator explode and leakage due to over heat. because of the lousy transmission, i decided to sell it off and get something reliable. Sure the newer Wira 1.5 is with 4-speed AUTO????if you consider on the 4 speed auto. that should settle the problem of speed vs rpm issue. but do remember the 1.5 soch is way too underpower and you will feel the lack of power, and countless reving to achieve desire speeds.  If not mistaken... all Stock 1.5 Wira with 4G15 engine will have only 3 speed AUTO new model or old... all same.... QUOTE(rockdaman @ Feb 5 2007, 12:19 PM) i always pump 35-38 liters of gasoline....city driving can only reach around +-320KM.... Me also the same...P.S: year 2001 wira 1.5L Normally, pump RM 78+- petrol and get 320 km +- also... |

i know the wira 1.6(A) versions come with 4 speed auto gearbox, becuase of the O/D button. Anyway, is it possible to transfer the wira 1.6 (A) gearbox to the 1.5 (A) one, can it be done?
Because if it is possible, then yeah, u'll have a 4 speed for your wira 1.5(A) |

My sold 99 Wira 1.5 A/B, could give me around 500KM per full tank. I used it to travel along NS highway daily.
Beside, I did mod quiet heavy with my sold wira with K&N drop-in, NGK platinium plugs, plug cable , 3 units fuel saver, 4-2-1 extractor, cut cat., S flow exhaust pipe. cheers! |

My 13 year old wira 1.5A sedan average bout 17-18 sen per km and this is avoiding the jam in the morning and evening by going to work early in the morning and going home late in the evening. Still very good condition and change spark plug+engine oil+transmission oil.

you can try to overhaul the engine, retune the carburator. which is the cheap way. the expensive way is to change the carburator to a EFI unit. there are workshops which does such transplant. But do take note that the cost is high and its not practical unless you're stuck to the car for another few more years. in addition. you won't get a drastic in performance but its much better than the old carb engine.
