thats a big list! oh! last time u had a satria too? care to share?

here are more nice pic.


Attached thumbnail(s)

yup.. a 1.6 xli. not much done tho..only 3 mod..

1. piping from xtractor all the way to border s304 exhaust. Rm700 piping is 1.8" to 2".
2. sport spring APM. Rm murah jer kot..
3. manual gearbox from perdana 1.6. short ratio..cost me Rm2k.. dunno why so expensive..

performance..if only i use the tyre like my swift now.. Potenza Re080.. haha..can gain 7 sec or less for 0-100. coz all else left stock..even my air filter is stock. wahahah~ well,that car already a history.

7sec 0-100 u say simple mod ah? it seems that u like to mod transmission.

u r not into ICE mod, exterior or bling bling mod?

no. im a petrol head . haha i dun do bling2.

its simple ma... only the transmission is a bit complicated. haha coz when u know wat to mod, u can save more. n, i only spend less than 4k to make my car quick enough to catch a mivec or v-tec.

i see.... more on the technical side eh...

i drove swift before, the auto gear is very good. once step on the throttle pedal it feels rigid.
but braking seems abit spongy, compared to Neo.
i like the oem ICE too. the interior looks class to me unlike Proton.
so it's a fun car to drive but abit over budget to own one.

most Swift owner tends to mod the exterior only.

yeah..n i try not to follow they trend. hahaha~

but agree on u on most point... gear,ice feels nice. brake not sure..maybe my satria last time very loose n weak..so suddenly switch to swift...the brake is ok for me..in fact, its so ok! haha

its kinda pricey..for a ckd hatch.. but, now i fed up with proton, moving on to JDM.

but, this is not a car to be settle down with..not many option to upgrade the power too..unlike satria..mcm2 ada!

so, i would jaz go easy on the mod.. that manual mod..ntah la..its 8k u know. hahahahah! crazy!

anyway good choice for u. luckily u never buy Myvi SE

Swift & Neo has something in common, hard to find aftermarket parts.

normaly i have to book it & wait long long for it to arrive.... sian!

not much choices too. the shops threat my car like guinea pig coz they never mod Neo before hai.....

our car have to go to specific workshop..i have no idea wher now, but shud be around sunway or the one that mod my satria, at Kg pandan..near McD n shell.. the uncle ther very legend one. haha. maybe u can touch up ur gear ratio..

but yeah, last time i was thinking only fuel saving car and value to buy..like BLM n such..but after too some tots, i still can't get my head over a performance and fuel guzzling car... haha...aihhh..susah mau hilang oo...addictive to speed.

but i've seen lots of neo done their mod very well.. some can catch up with my satria.... dunno wat they mod..but look very awesome!

i wish i could get more exposure in KL but i'm working in JB so too bad lah...

i thought auto gear ratio cannot be adjusted wan..? have read the thread below?

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=930932&hl=

satria neo nothing special lah.... campro all over the place

eh! speed & performance might not be fuel consuming leh.... like BOT some says even save fuel, believe it?

the resale value for swift so high leh. cant find anything below 50k. even 2005 model selling above rm50k

oh urs auto? then i have no idea on that. haha.. i know manual only.

it depends on the engine...heard of tat too..maybe sumting like going fast but maintain at hiway?? no need to put much power to move the car? thus less fc?

no lar... mine manual.

i'm talking about your car lar..

Obviously it's spongy , back brakes are drumbrakes. But satria neo all disc

ohhh my bad. well,if the quote price for a manual gb now is 8k, it shud depreciates after few years..coz no demand. haha 4k is nice!

Added on February 21, 2009, 10:38 amhow does actually spongy feels like? hahahah no idea here.. n even if its a drum brake, it already equipped with EBD + ABS. the stop mark is so strong already, u can hurt ur chest when u brake so hard. haha..if put disc brake, have to add like 50 more hp.. then only necessary. hahahah~

wah, bro mod from auto to manual, is it consider a big project then???

hw to say??i m fr manual car previuosly change to this swift auto, cant feel the OHMMMMM la...feel like no torque le...

mind to share more on light MOD so i can feel more power for my swift? my car hit 1 yr by 27th feb, road tax baru renew, mon wanna collect d

bro, i think key-less entry thingy is just your normal alarm system lor, don hav to use car key to open/close doors, it is on push start tht u find in those luxury car.

same case ere bro..from my speedy satria into a boleh2 la punyer swift..haha..

i'm not sure myself..but thats the quote i get from scm.. n will try this project after 4 years... now not worth it even if more power can be derived..coz new car ma.. haha.

but ther are many methods can be done.. some people jaz mod the transmission..like me..some, maybe a track piping..but cost like 5-6k..not including xtractor tho..haha..but some mod giler2 to the engine..aka turbo or supercharger...now Sam supercharge is interesting, but the power it give..jaz not up to my satisfaction..hence 13k is not worth spending..better i do manual, n put some minor mod after that..thats more like it
