proton wira convert evo 4 / 5 . Possible ?

[smallmaster]

Im also using Wira. going to throw e3 inside. autofoam is where they put 1 kind material inside the hollow of chassis.. so it reduce chassis flex, noise, great handling n etc.

bro...if u do mounting change... my mechanic tell that have to pateri the new mouting n got many work. bro evo3 ENGINE still ok in half cut shop. Don judge the engine by its age. if u throw the evo3 engine, u can mod it n can feel the damn G.

Again its up to ur taste. Make sure u do a Monster Wira. later we can cucuk each other at highway...lol.... kip in tuch bro...

remember bro >>>> Make sure u do autofoam, chassis welding at engine bay n gearbox area n put all the damn Ultra Racing bars, n adjustable suspension, n brake system. Safety 1st, Handling 2nd, Powerrrrr 3rd.

Old thread, but the last paragraph caught my attention. I more interested on chassis welding.
I not into wira evo convert, i already put 93t.
Since i in penang, set aside foam thing.
Sometimes lepak at pomen workshop, always hear koyak here and there. Chassis welding will improve or lessen koyak koyak ? sifu pls give comment.

Chassis welding is illegal if not mistaken........

 

[y2188]

Yea I heard chassis welding is illegal for otr cars too. Why not foam? It works.

 

[parakey]

Foam doesn't strengthen the chassis in a significant manner

dont even bother with welding...

foaming, make sure its done properly and it's alright i guess..... keep in mind, it's an irreversible process with its fair share of pros and cons.
pro: strong (played with excess foam before, for the most part i guess it does the job
con: in an accident, the chassis might not give way as expected by the manufacturer. The car feels harsher, messy and not easy to clean up. Also, makr sure you know your chassis well, any wiring/drainage might get buried or blocked. In some cars, the door switch is located pretty low down, in my case, this cable got buried... its fine while it works but one fine day it snapped.... and it was an absolute pain in the arse rewiring it.

.... and it was an absolute pain in the arse rewiring it.

I take it that the new wiring has to run from outside of the beam; likely under the carpet. Did you have to drill a new hole to insert it back into the beam?

the original wiring for my car actually ran under the carpet (its recessed) then up one side into a hole. its this section where everything was foamed,
-had to dig through alot of foam to get it through :motz: didnt do any drilling cause thats just potentially asking for trouble
-used a screwdriver to slowly dig a hole from the outside half way and another hole from the inside the rest of the way
-push a wire through and that was it.

Main difficulty was that the cable had to snake through the foam in the hole. (still wonder how i managed to push the cable through that 90 degree bend, pure luck? :hmmmm:) There are probably better ways of doing it but yeah end of the day job done, still does through the original pathways..

not really an issue with everyone's cars, some cars have the switches higher up so those should be safe, its just that my switch was unfortunately located below the foamed sections.
oh ya... someone else got their sunroof drainage blocked.... i dont know how, apparently the drainage tube going down the A piller got pinched or blocked somehow...

 

[parakey]

Thanks. One of my door switches no longer working. Was wondering how I should go about fixing it

 

[sweelt]

well....got pro and cons. Foaming is better alternative.
If chassis welding illegal, full stop. Who know, accident then want to claim...

Just as an FYI though, some insurance companies will not pay if your car is foamed too cuz it's impossible to fix if banged up.

Seam welding is just strengthening existing stock welding points or weakened ori welds. Or just sell your car and buy an original Satria R3 car which comes pre-welded by the R3 boffins. Or the Satria Neo Clubsport which is welded and roll-caged by R3 and both cars are completely road legal.

Oh as a idiot myself, I have to tell you if you choose to foam - go with Autofoam the original foam. Anything else is a waste of time and money (even though cheaper).

Defnitely, but it does help to a certain extent i guess... My friend's car has been rear ended badly, after foaming it does strengthen the chassis quite abit. But again that's an old chassis that has been rear ended. Probably the result aren't as significant on modern chassis which is already quite stiff to begin with.

yeah that's the cons to it. Pray hard that nothing goes wrong hahaha.

Agreed

really depends on how bad its hit... if bent outtashape... ohh habis (then again, one really would not want to drive a car with that kind of damage anyway)

and you are also right... get it done by somebody reputable.

Thanks. One of my door switches no longer working. Was wondering how I should go about fixing it

yang ni actually very easy....
-first find where the problem lies, switch or wiring.
-pull the rubber cover off the switch, its usually a simple plastic switch held on by a screw and one wire (grounded directly onto the chassis, if it falls off in your hands like mine did well figure out how to connect it)
-just do a continuity test by the switch, if switch works, wiring, otherwise its the switch (iirc, complete circuit when the button is released, pressing it breaks the circuit).

after that, either replace the switch OR just start pulling the car apart (cant explain here, dont know what u drive, just some plastic trim, carpeting, thats about it)

 

[marsha1l_v6]

Just about to get foaming, well i did have some thought on accident scenario, how bad would it be with the chassis is strengthen by foaming :hmmmm: , looks like will go with UR bar then.

Pv6 with evo also has nice G pulling it at 1.1bar..hahaha cant imagine in wira.

welding the existing welding point should be legal right ? nanti xboleh jual kereta pulak ..
plan to do at welding point surround the engine mounting point.

Rear ended by a 7 series ...

Insurance paid for the repairs ...

When car came back, rear right wheel when jacked up is higher than the other side

The wheel tilts inwards. Not driveable. Caused by this ...

Spent the last few months parked idly while I tried unsuccessfully to find it a new body. In the end took a chance and had it repaired by another shop. Now feels okay but I still have some engine work to do before I test it proper
