I tried the turtle wax lipstick.... it abble to hide the scratches.... but when wash it again... it came off......

Dun have much money to send workshop to polish... later polished... being scratched by those cats again......

dont waste so much money on the so called stabiliser bar.. instead, go for better brakes, suspension etc.. if ur car is wira 1.3, try to change front solid disc brake to ventilated disc.. most also buy a front, fender, rear only.. others i heard is lebih punya

the bar depend how u using mah.. if normal driving only den the front and rear is more than enuff d.... each bar also got their own function 1... it won simply come out wif nth function 1...

but the thing is, is the functionality of the bar obvious?
does that really help? if not, that means it is bad investment..
besides, those bar doesnt come cheap
like i said, make some survey for bars which delivers best performance.. no point getting room bar, lower room bar etc as it doesnt really help much

I didn't try lower arm bar...but bought front and rear bars instead. The bar helps a great deal for me. What's wrong with making the car more firm during corners or high speed? The functionality of the bar was very obvious actually, on ANY bars you purchase. Why? Because Proton quality is very bad and you know it. They lack in a lot of areas that we don't know...you need to be an engineer for that.

The standard car we're all driving is actually borderline sufficient to get from point A to point B. Let's take the engine for example. Do you know how underpowered a 1.3 engine is for a car as heavy as the Wira? It sucks and my 1985 Ford Lazer (1.3 also) can go faster than this junk. I don't know about suspension or anything else but I'm sure that these minor upgrades are necessary depending on the way you drive.

Just ask yourself this question...would you want to continue driving your car knowing the tyres are completely worn out? I mean worn until the threads cannot be seen and is at risk of exploding anytime? It is still "borderline sufficient" to get you home

i tested my fren's car with those full set stabiliser bar & roll cage + adjustable suspension.....almost muntah on the way from kepong to cheras by mrr2 .....damn bumpy....but...really good handling....it will also effect on ur brakes indirectly...

btw...juz want to share...i do remove my power steering on my car....it really feel more powerful & lower fc....but...die loh when i parking~~

Remove power steering

what to do...power steering pump spoilt liao...planning to convert an engine....juz save the $$ lah~~~

it is like saying why buy proton knowing the risk in teh 1st place

bumpy-ness caused by stiff absorber.. nothing to do with the bars.. but that definitely contributing to loose parts sooner or later.. like ngek ngek sound come from nowhere
removing power steering is the most 'powderful' changes i ever heard
no offence

u won feel much different of the bar if wif the adjustable. if ur ride is stock absorber will feel much than it...

if I had money to buy a Ferrari I would have long ago
I picked the Wira among a list of budget cars...Kelisa / Kancil / Satria...then finally the Wira. My first choice was the Kelisa but it was just as expensive and has less room. Not to mention "safer" than Wira...if you wanna die faster Wira was just the most practical choice among all of them. Has the best boot space and can fit your family and for the same amount of cash. I will admit my only fault in buying the car was getting a 1.3cc...beautifully underpowered

its the stiffness of the joints and roll cage plus absorbers la..

all contributes.

of coz, anti roll bar is the most prominent upgrade for struts.. in the same time, the most expensive 1..

normal wat...pay for quality...

Erm guys,is it normal for the idling rpm to stay around 900-1000 after i clean my throttle body?

so high ar... i think u nit to adjust the throttle. normal is at 700 1..

last time mine is around 500 or less but alwiz engine die...so i went to clean my tb...
now the rpm is like that liao...will it return to 700 within feww days?

mine worse
i can see my rpm with aircond idle at almost 200 rpm but the car still wont jerk
but when it reach til almost 0 rpm then only it jerk abit

I don't know where mine is...stupid thing got no RPM meter
I have a question about level of black oil...since everyone here is using the same car, on the "oil stick"...where is the max level for the oil? Is it on the "max bar" or the "actual Max" mark I put on the pic? My level is currently in between the two marks and feels really hard to run. I suspect the mechanics overfilled my car
