err... not really drift la, just the rear tyres sound only
last year bought under 200 bucks each.... it's not 'tayar masak' kua.....
will check with the dealer later.....

rm220 x 4 any picture?
btw, anyone ever tried 55 front and 60 rear on waja without modding the suspension?
different size tyres are common practice on supercars but how about waja?

off topic; found your leather seat already?

noted.
me too, looking for a leather / pvc cover for my back seat. tried the 2 front recaro from my old wiralution to waja
but it's too low for my liking

thanks a lot. i noticed a few screw with a loose bolt on the plastic inner fender too... the one that cover the
the wiper water tank...
btw, i don't even know which type of coolant used by the previouos owner. can i just dump a toyota coolant into the coolant tank
reservoir? it's almost empty

Iridium spark plugs supposed to give slight improvement car's performance and smoother engine operation
correct me if i am wrong. price could be under rm150 for 4 unit. check around in automotive garage sales.
quite a number of member are selling.
i used to wash my rims using the same washer. but i am not sure about the polish thing.
my friend is using the soft99 for his rims, btw.

Added on March 12, 2009, 10:57 ami am going for a service this weekend. probably let our good fellow lowyat.net member do it
but i am in dilemma cuz' another workshop with good reputation offer a free diagnostic for 1st time customer.
there is no leaking from the radiator, the coolant fluid is full but the small long tank on it's right side is almost empty.
b48753, where do you usually service your car?

are you using RainX rain water repellent with Silicon wiper?
from my experience, RainX doesn't get along well with silicon wiper. rubber based is more compatible with RainX.

the trick is by applying RainX evenly onto the screen. and i do clean up the wiper blade using a RainX soaked wet cloth
once you stop applying another layer, that's where the problem start
btw, RainX really help a lot during heavy rain.

err....should i remove the cat con in my 4g18 waja??
since i don't smoke and no smokers allowed into the car, it should be some sort of compromise
to the environment
any advantage over not having the catalyst converter?

my unit also having a problem. i can't open the window on the passenger side using the driver's control button.
but funny i can wind up the glass after it was open from the passenger side....

ok. already anticipated that
btw, any way to clean up those carbons build up on the exhaust system?

thanks for the tips
now...i've got another problem. after going thru a flooded road the other day, now my car
sometimes jerking... seldom rev over 3k anyway.

should be around 27k. you can check in motortrader.
seems like manual waja (same year) is fetching a higher price
compared to the automatic version. it used to be the automatic version fetching higher
price sometimes ago

same problem here last time. caused by belt tension too tight or not properly oiled.
i used super 99 to get rid of the stain on the bumper. not sure if it was suitable though.

thanks for the tips. maybe i should go for atf flush then.
will send my car for service this sunday. btw, my car sometimes feel jerky even on the flat road.

btw, how do i go to mudah.my shop from federal highway-asia jaya?

the belt tension is fixed. but you may ask him to re-oil certain part. the mechanic should know.

ferodo is fine. so does maddriver@garage sales one...

after send my car for servicing, the engine's rpm takes longer time to get into 1k; with air-con turn off.
the engine haven't get used to it

no wonder you are selling your zaptor... looking for better one?

a guy quoted me 400 bucks for the gated shift waja cps on 4g18
but am going for brake upgrade instead. 2 pots front will be just nice.
currently looking at mudah site for it.

am using the t-rex brand. so cheap

t-rex fits just nice i bought the cheaper one under 100 bucks at jusco.
can use for self-defense too
btw, the problem might be your steering cover. most brand s designed without taking the steering cover size into consideration

the manual one is plug and play. it's just like you have to turn and tighten it but for the auto gear knob;
there is a wire you need to connect

brembo brakes aren't cheap. 4 side easily cost over 3k for 4F / 2R pots configuration.
if you want to use brembo on waja, you may need to change the stock rims. brembo definitely
not fit in it.
unlike conventional / oem brake system, in order for performance brake to perform to it's true capability, it need to heat up to certain temperature.

btw, are you on mivec turbo? else, i don't really see any point of going for brembo if it was
a stock engine with slight modification.
ferodo brake pad will be fine. coupled with cheaper vented / cross drilled disc.
and use heat resistant paint to paint the brake cover

planning to go for atf change next weekend. gear change is sometimes jerking

it's been 4 days since i service my car but during the start up, but unlike last time,
the rpm needle still takes a few minutes to get back into 10k; with the air-con turn off.. should i reset the ecu?

the older waja tend to have the problem.
instead of replacing the working side mirror / certain parts(which may have the same problem years later), the common practice is cleaning it up and retouch / repaint it with the same color. those paint easily available from hardware shop.
else, you can bring to any halfcut shop / workshop. they will fix/ retouch the paint with minimal charges.
