Hey guys wanna ask u guys bout my car...Well firstly mine is a 1.6XLI (A) 1997 model, mileage is 149 XXX KM...The car has alot of minor probs tht can be sorted out.Engine & gearbox is ok (touch wood) but the pickup is really bad now. Plan to get the car back to glory again hoping if nyone knows a good gearbox guy coz i think the gearbox hav been never opened before..
 Plan to change the rims coz the old rims too old i guess...maybe plan to add E-manage to tune the carfor later on upgrades maybe. Any suggestion's guys on what i should do? cost effective mods...i did a top overhaul 3 years back but i think it lost its power again. This post has been edited by Bigblock: Dec 11 2008, 12:46 PM |

QUOTE(kazami @ Dec 11 2008, 08:04 PM) gearbox lor Yeah 16 inches tires harder to find but rims i will look on slowly bro..for now i am juzz planning on cost effective mods to gain torque to the engine..did a top overhaul 3 years ago low all the power is lost again.. for me, i dont recommend u to take back proton ATF oil... cheeann said toyota T-IV ATF is good and better grade... i can get from sparepare shop around RM70 for 4 liters and i got 1 spare bottle left, can wait to use it  i even use before castrol ATF... cheapest of all about RM45 only but so far so good... b16a really can fit wira... but illegal... u cant get ur car approve... trade in old and get new rims, roughly 2k++ if for 16" and good tyres... 16" got limited type of tyres... u can option for 15" or 17" got more choices... repaint car about 1k to 2k exhaust from normal exhaust shop less than 1k if u go for branded and performance, i think 1k is not enough..  |
