Rm8k Wira & Jazz GK5 ownership experience-A long way to go

[gunnerzz]

I think now the issue is only the speedometer issue. Got $$$ will buy a 02 sensor swap out. This month burn too much $$$ on this car already.hahahahahaha

O2 sensor is well below RM100 as its almost universal. Only different is some got built in heater to speed up the sensor heating process so engine runs cleaner quicker. U will notice older car have their sensor with only 2 wires. Newer car got 3 and sometimes 4 wires. The sensor ideal working temperature is very high.

U can feel smoother engine once new sensor is installed and best of all...better fc

Talk abt fc, its very recommended to replace the fuel filter. Its an easy DIY job. Smoother response but bad fc...Bad coz u tend to accelerate harder..hihihi

Juz now go and check the Fuel filter already. Need to took the air filter pipe and I think is good to go and change it. The 02 sensor need to wait until the car is cool down. the socket is quite inside.

501 is just the speed sensor not in sync or something la. Won't damage anything except maybe cause you get saman because you speeding without knowing it.

171 however better get that O2 sensor checked. VDO Wiras are very finicky with the O2 sensor. If that sensor fails your FC will plummet. And I mean rock bottom plummet. It's horrible. Don't wait for it to be that bad before you fix that

Until now I had fill 2 tank ok petrol.

1st tank go around 370km+

2nd tank by adding Lucas oil fuel treatment it goes around 415km

pretty suprise for the mileage it can get

That's not bad for an auto. Maybe it's not an O2 sensor problem then. If your FC is so good no need to waste money changing the O2 for now I think.

My working location is very near some spare part shop juz a 5minute drive then arrive. I even can call them to prepare then I come & take. Hahahahahaha

 

[parakey]

Out of curiosity, how much does a new O2 sensor cost? I dont have one on my car

Mine is RM90

Haven't have time to install.Hahahahaha

Kool. Not as expensive as I had previously thought.

 

[gunnerzz]

Depending on the location some O2 sensor on certain engine require special socket to remove and install due to the wire coming out of the sensor and very tight spacewhile some can be done using ring spanner if the space permits.

And now Is Changing the Absorber part.

I consider to take Kyb Excel G for the car.
RM390 a set.
Since the car is potong spring so I consider to chg the spring as well.
But I was curious how high is the stock height for the wira? I have consider to use a set of Gab & ftuned spring to replace the potong spring. The gap i think is around 2.5 finger front & rear (maybe high abit?) Both spring I got quote is RM380 as for a set of new kyb coil spring is RM200+~300.

My friend suggest me to take Gab HE better. Since I am changing the whole set and the $$$ total is very near a Gab bodyshift adjustable.

Since you are replacing the complete set, I suggest getting the 1.6/1.8 spring/absorber sets.

Any difference between 1.5 & 1.6 wira absorber?

 

[parakey]

1.6 springs are stiffer and as far as I know, they wont fit on 1.5 absorbers

 

[Izso]

No no no.. 1.6/1.8 absorbers and springs will jack up the front height of the car.

Try to find Wira SE Springs and absorbers. They are special as the spring cup in the Wira SE absorber is higher up to match with the short but thick Wira SE springs.

The rear is the same as any other Wira.

Personally - if you're gonna go aftermarket, might as well go straight to the HLSH type. And the most budget friendly that's of pretty decent quality is the HWL HLSH coilovers. 2k+ all in. If you're gonna mix and match you're gonna cry if you get it wrong.

For mix & match this is also the concern.If I F up the thing. For daily driving & road trip is a Hi Low bodyshift enough? Compare to a HLSF adjustable.

well u just dont get the option of setting the harshness

just saying... unless ur tracking the bugger, oem's will do u fine

My 1st thought is
Kyb Gas absorber match with Gab & ftuned spring
only.

This car just for work & some road trip only. No tracking la. Hahahahaha

 

[parakey]

Exactly why I suggested the 1.6 setup. You get a bit more stiffness but not that much loss in comfort.
