hey if got beramai-ramai (big group) installation for rear-ARB, lemme know lei! (but someone gotta guide me how to reach there )
hopefully get special discount or something haha... btw i got quoted RM320 for the 16mm wira rear-ARB. good price?

if plan to add extra gauge/meters on the dashboard, what is the most useful/important? was thinking oil temp, or maybe voltage meter. there is one for checking engine condition....? also what is vacuum meter for? this is for NA car, btw... advise pls?

those meter they sell in acc shops, include installation means need to add extra gadgets beside the meter itself?

thanks ah

guys what do u think of this RIM?
worth how much? it is 15"... can fit wira
suit my car ma? hehe

i not sure the details, will ask.
but it can fit MYVI, and i heard wira and myvi share the same rims, right ma?

Added on April 9, 2009, 2:20 pmthe vacuum meter fascinates me - does it benefit an EFi car like mine? eg, if the vacuum reading is too high(low?) then means i should improve my intake system or something?

voltage one, i guess i can guess its to measure that my car has sufficient/stable voltage for its operations like radio ON, AC on, headlights ON, foglights, etc? btw quick one, those add-on voltage stabilizer kits, can DIY right? anyone knows how? i'm skilled enuf with electronics but i'm not sure what size of capacitors to use, how many, and how is the connection will be. anyone got the circuit diagram somewhere? thx

finally the oil/water temp gauge - what does the readings mean actually bro? pls guide me a bit so i can at least follow those more technical articles i found with google pls? thx thx!

thanks bro catacombs.... now i got a better picture of what the readings off the gauges do liao.
i think oil pressure i put priority... tis one need to install sensor also, besides the gauge?
i'll go ask car acc shops... thx again

means ugly?.... i tot not bad looking ma

eh, reminds me pulak.... those d'carbonizing thing, really work or gimmick?

ok lah, since the sifu's havent reply, pls allow me to pour out wat i read so far about d'carbonizing.
its aim is to flush out the built-up carbon deposits inside the engine (which part, i dunno) especially older cars.
seems like the liquid of decarbonizing is inserted through the intake system (Efi/carb also similar) in a slow manner.
then rev the car a bit, but not high RPM (think coz the liquid is not combustible stuff?) and will clean/flush out the carbon inside the car engine.

extra reading tells me we can actually DIY decarbonizing by spraying water mist into the intake system, they claim its the same thing so why pay more? so that is why i havent done decarbonizing yet and prefer to see what the sifus here gotta say. coz my car already 6-7 yr old...

i agree it can get a little sian after long time... but PSP's greatest strength is multiplayer!
that time play monster hunter 2 with collegues, hahaha... syok oh! form 3-4 person gang go and hunt big dinosaur
maybe next time TT we bring PSP along can play racing hehe

the latest psp3000 i think still cant MOD.
the psp2000 and 1000(fatboy) already MOD until gila.

try bit-torrent

hi guys, i was away for a week, now back! anyway, went to remove cat converter (sorry mother nature...), changed to 1.6" piping (or was it 1.7" die ah forgot so fast) and changed to cap ayam 4-2-1 extractor. in place of cat conv, stuffed a centre bullet there. it is weird shape, not straight, not spiral, but like... long bean (kacang panjang) shape... dunno how to describe. length about 2 feet long liddat. immediately feel better picket and smoother acceleration, but this may mainly because of the bigger NEW piping? coz old piping maybe build-up of carbon deposit liao... anyway, maybe also due to removal of the cat conv. muffler still using stock standard (partly due to budget). so the exhaust sounds almost the same, not much differences compared to original, but slight louder and also sharper (higher frequency sound has higher peak?) - sorry i kinda bad with descriptions will now monitor the FC and see how it compares. sould have results after 2-3 more tanks of refill. right now not accurate coz tend to stretch each gear longer before changing (due to that new smooth acceleration feeling i get )

anyway, here is the sad news. the exhaust shop dude tells me that my 2003 wira has the weaker ECU and throttle/injector (he speaking hokkien when he spoke about this, my hokkien very poor!) and he said those wira <year2000 has a better one with more power. lets say i wanna change this part(s), then is it as simple as replacing the ECU with a better one? or more parts involved, like throttle body, etc??? pls advise, dear sifus!

formally demoralized now

means.... very low morale to try to "upgrade" my SVDO wira now
its coz, no matter what i do, i'm still lagging behind the MMC VDO version...sigh

no lar, not really problems with the car, but its like, MOD liao may still be having less power than a stock similar model with diff ECU (MMC) wth... sobs

anyone using the twinloop mugen muffler? good sound for wira?

think tis is what i wanna get di thanks
i want sporty sound from exhaust, but i dislike LOUD.... hope u sifus understand what i'm trying to say, hehe
any other recommendations please?

cannot... ah long might found out!

bring to court, tell them you are summoned for speeding in the future.
bring to opposition office, make big hoo-ha

Googled it and found it as "Fast Idle Control Device"
not much detailed info after that, but sounds like it controls the idling RPM.
i dont understand is, what has this got to do with the power we loss when our compressor turns ON?
dont think it cant bring back the lost power, unless it automatically makes our RPM higher (means engine works harder to compensate)

anyway, this reminds me again about the add-on called voltage regulator. does it help with idling?
