Not because of fixing the oil leak. Since you remove the distributor for repair, probably your mechanic have advanced your timing that is why low end is responsive now.....

I did ask him on what did he do to the distributor during my next visit to replace my alternator. He said he did nothing and he told me that it is just psychological feeling.Not because of fixing the oil leak. Since you remove the distributor for repair, probably your mechanic have advanced your timing that is why low end is responsive now.....
Maybe he din't know how bad it felt before the fix.
If nothing else was touch, and only the distributor, the timing was advanced. Either that maybe your timing was wrong all the while, so when he fitted back he fitted correctly this time......hhahahhahah
Thanks alot mate.... for putting time in your extensive reply.Bro, i'd suggest to first analyse your driving style before asking for recommendations. Like what the sifus have said, handling should be the direction for your first upgrades. However, i'd really suggest you learn how to max out the stock car before adding parts whether it helps power/handling.
For me what I suggest though, get an exhaust system for your car. You'll feel more of a gain than an air filter. Powerzone's header is great for a wide powerband, though the coating burns off after time last I recall. :hmmmm: Cusco reps are also good from what I last remember. Piping size, 2" should be great, and s-flow mufflers.... stay far far away from those restrictive things.
Other than that, if you're REALLY keen on tougeing, just keep your car maintained well and start messing around with your handling. Learn how different tire pressures as well as camber + toe setups affect your car, how to have a proper driving position, racing lines, and then slowly max out the car on the stock tires before you upgrade.
For handling I'd suggest to start with good tires and maybe a strut bar if you want... Bridgestone Potenza RE003's are my favorite at the moment due to it's cost and grip. Get that + a good alignment you'll be good. Once you're better, get coilovers to fully utilize the tires. From here onwards its really fine tuning, you can't 'stage' stuff like this because everyone drives differently.
My own personal advice is that by keeping yourself slightly underpowered forces you to drive better with what you have. Adding more parts that you don't understand how they benefit to a car doesn't make you a better driver. Happy tougeing!
Really put me into a deep thought.
Had a big slap on my face after i blew my engine on Mon morning . :(
Blew my engine on Mon morning. Was cruising on 4500RPM.If you don't mind driving to Bukit Kuda in Klang, you can try Ah Seng exhaust. Contact number is 019-2770343. They have wide range of normal steel & stainless steel mandrel bent piping. Also custom extractors and mufflers according to your needs. Price is very reasonable too.
You can also go halfcut shopping for Mivec extractor and do the piping when you got it. I'm using stock Mivec extractor on my 1.8 single cam wira sedan. Like I said, market price is around RM300+-.
What a wake up call!
Need to overhaul now.
Those internet 4-1 is for 'top end' and 4-2-1 is for 'bottom end' guidelines won't apply much with a stock 4G15 I can guarantee you that. The generic 4-2-1 extractor you find everywhere suits our engine's characteristics more than a 4-1 if your ports, cam, and compression is stock. The 4G15 entire exhaust side from the port sizing to the muffler is quite a bottleneck as is...
But anyways if you're planning to run a 4-1 have fun, do post the results here.

Time to open up and do things to it? Balancing and lightening, pnp and upstroke if you want to go all out? [emoji3]

Probably timing is wrong. Previously my car feels even slower than stock Myvi 1.3 MT. After that, I can feel that it is slightly more powerful than Myvi now.If nothing else was touch, and only the distributor, the timing was advanced. Either that maybe your timing was wrong all the while, so when he fitted back he fitted correctly this time......hhahahhahah
What is the cause of the blow?
Oh, then perhaps I shall just take 4-2-1 as you recommended? For the extractor, does the material really matters? There are those standard materials that what chinese call as "white steel" or should I go for stainless steel?
No difference except appearance. Stainless steel don't rust but the heat will still change it's stainless steel into multi color.....
