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

[minibeany]

3 pedals the way to go. hehehe...

 

[sanekit]

I had an auto wira A/B for a good 9 years before I finally swapped to a 5-speed manual and boy oh boy was that the best thing I ever did. My good friend mech even swapped out the dashboard meter cluster to remove the gear indicator.

I say if you got the opportunity and extra cash - do it. Swap it out.

but if he GSR swap with 4wd autobox and 1.5 bar of boost, he'll be smiling all the way to his ears.

Yes,indeed I will smile all the way. And my eye & wallet will tear all the way also. Hahahahahahha
I juz wanna keep it simple & fun since this is a daily drive car.

Now that's much better looking than with mivec hood. I like this look. Cut out the spotlight holes and put ducts to your front brakes or something.

How much cost you to swap to a manual?
The problem I feel for the wira is,it is not enough gear for the car(auto one
5 speed is ngam ngam for the car,since gear 5 rarely use on small road.

all in about 1.5k-2k not including speedometer swap for wira 1.5 manual gearbox with clutch cable. the one with clutch pump is a bit more expensive but not gonna cost u more than 2.5k all in.

Yup, that is why even my mechanic last time told his customer, Wira or Waja. These are work horses. Salesman, contractor, construction etc., most of them use.......lol

Probably their aim is that even after warranty still have to send back to them for service.......lol

That cost more than what you paid for the car?

This was some time ago and I found a friend who wanted to swap to auto. So we just traded our GBs and paid our friend the mech (50-50) RM500. Means I paid only 250 for the swap.

but if he GSR swap with 4wd autobox and 1.5 bar of boost, he'll be smiling all the way to his ears.

debatable.

This is your daily workhorse ? If your daily commute doesn't involve lots of congestion, manual is ok. Otherwise if you are like me working in KL, YOU WILL CRY

Juz asking
After changing new rotor & pad thcar stopping power is much more better just when going to 80 & 90 km/h then suddenly stop the braking force is abit soft. Is like you know the car is stopping but you don't have the confidence the car can totally stop that kind of feeling.

Is it upgrade my rear drum to a 1.6 & 1.8 disk make it better or swap the brake line to steel hose type better?

BTW, what is the brand of the rotor and pad that you changed?

For pads, if you don't mind dusty rims can try Trestor Advantage, heard they are back in the market.....
