Increase the budget a little for better choices.

straight to the point.... its not fuel efficient at all~ i think you will manage around 10km/l if you drive long distance, 12 or so in towns
The bigger the displacement and especially heavier car, FC sure bad loh......:smokin:

Hi,

already got a Wira.

Will test drive both civic and corolla.

I've never owned a civic. I used to drive my father in law's corolla AE92.

Now, waiting for someone to buy my current car first.
Just remember that the Civic will be priced higher than Corolla. Same goes for spare parts too. Another thing to take note of would be security. A lot of Civic stolen cases lately. When it comes to performance, Civic is better than Corolla.

Good luck with your test drive.

this will set you back alot more than 10k.....
Not much point getting a Sentra over Corolla and Civic if you want to use the stock Sentra engine... But if you ask me, I'll go for 4A-GE, B16A or 4G92 MIVEC over SR16VE.

for seg there are 3 'famous-er' performance variants, 4age silver and black, and the 4gze

but from what i see, a decent blacktop with the 6 speed will probably set you back more than 10k....

I heard some said that to push very high power NA mods, 16 valve 4A-GE is preferred over 20 valve. Formula Atlantic build 4A-GE.

Also, silvertop internals seems to be stronger than blacktop since blacktop internals are lightened.

yep i have heard the same thing, but to be honest most cases, if you simply wana push more power than that you would go with some other engine, costs alot to squeeze power from most na's

If one is aiming for performance per cost ratio, NA is probably a bad idea to start with. Sometimes, it is about the fun of achieving a certain milestone and see how far the potential of the engine can be pushed.

Put it this way, a 200hp 4G93T may be nothing but a 200hp 4A-GE NA is really something. Just my own opinion though...

haha yeah very true, anyone can push 200hp out of the 4g but 200 from a 4age is just pretty darned impressive

Maybe you can try to find an Ae92 with 4A-GE Blacktop inside. Price should be around 10k.

Dos and Don'ts of Car Washing:

  • Do not wash your car when the car surface is hot. The soap usually gets dried up rather than reacting and removing dirt.
  • Morning time is a good time to do a carwash as the temperatures are less and no hard sunlight.
  • Pre rinse to remove loose dirt, leaves, or other debris that could scratch the paint if caught under a sponge or towel.
  • Never use a household detergent to wash your car...
