i've gone down the refurbishing part myself
1. old car dont have to change new parts for non-essential parts because you wont know down the road when you feel itchy to sell it
2. to reduce costs, buy all the parts from spare parts shop (most of them around Segambut area near to Jln Ipoh), some from Japan chop shop, bring to workshop to ask them change everything.
- workshop might charge you quite a hefty sum for workmanship, but you'll definitely save on the parts because workshop they usually top up 30% or more on the spare parts. some parts which is not frequently change they might charge 50% more
3. i roughly list parts out + treatment (you may study them)
4. go see your service manual or receipts and see which have you done and which have not been replaced lately
cost wise might be RM6-8k, not so sure. after this your old car will feel like NEW.
parts to change/replace
spare parts shop
1. belts
2. lower arm + stabilizer bush
3. suspension front(+ absorber mounting) and back
4. spark plugs
5. engine oil + air filter + oil filter + fuel filter + cabin AC filter (OEM, original is very exp)
6. front lamp bulbs + new fog lamp (OEM, original is very exp)
7. thermostat
8. timing belt
9. gearbox oil
10. radiator motor (if you havent change before)
11. engine mounting
12. wipers
13. brake pads + rotors (if they are in bad shape)
14. door panel clips (plastic piece that lock your door plastic panel to metal door frame, order from Lazada)
15. door rubber (probably rm50 per door)
chop shop (tell them your car model, engine type, like yours is Toyota Passo copy)
1. AC compressor
2. starter
3. alternator
Treatment or other stuff
1. liqui moly 3-in-1 treatment (intake, fuel cleaning, engine flush) + ask mechanic to clean throttle body
2. if you purchase front windscreen insurance, just find shop to claim new ones for you
3. tint, can get security tint from Hamel about RM 900+, dont need to spend more on branded ones like 3M (do step no.2 before doing no.3)
4. change radiator water (dont have to flush unless it looks like laksa soup)
5. do soundproofing for doors, together with your sound system upgrade. At the same time, ask them to replace all the door panel clips which you bought earlier. soundproof spare tyre compartment as well.
6. do deep clean cushion cleaning for fabric type
7. touch up some paints, front + back bumper sure got scratches, respray bumpers
8. spray some rubber protection chemicals on all rubber parts
Myvi door becomes difficult to close after changing the door rubber. any idea why?1. old car dont have to change new parts for non-essential parts because you wont know down the road when you feel itchy to sell it

or maybe just the design is flawed? even before change the door rubber, it doesn't close effortlessly compared to newer cars.
Mine is the 2008 myvi.
*Already close to 1 year change
