Suitable absorber for wira 1.5

[kaihoong]

You did your exhaust mod but is your engine actually healthy? That is one important factor. Does it consume engine oil or anything?

My interior is strictly all stock except the audio player. I don't want to do anything there, just keeping it as it is.

Engine is healty, no makan minyak. Still can go 17xkmh but take a long distance.
What your temperature bar point after driving certain time. Mine one always near to half, I using double layer radiator

Then that is good. Maybe you can try to adjust your ignition timing via distributor. Your VDO will need something like a device to set it I think unlike mine which is mechanically based. My temperature is also near to half, like maybe 40-45% all the time even when I'm driving fast at high rpm. Using stock half size radiator.

He had more than 2 times my power, with larger wheels and tyres won't affect his acceleration performance much unlike mine.

used lightweight wheels....

That mean 40%-45% is normal.

typically drive fast ok... its jams when theres little air movement where you will see the temps climb

Yes. Should not be above 50%

For mine it doesn't even climb at all even during traffic jam.

Maybe your fan motor or radiator were not functioning well. Usually temperature will be stable.
Mine one always maintain here

just now I saw have people sell redsuns adjustable high low bodyshift front 6k rear 4k(used condition)...is better go for adjustable?

let say use sport absorber + sport absorber, will feel very bumpy or not

Don't buy redsuns adjustable. After using not more than 2 years, I had to service it 2 times. Even after servicing the absorber, the ride is still very very bumpy and uncomfortable. At last, I replaced them with a better one. Also please take note, you are unable to adjust the stiffness/softness of the absorber on redsuns. You can only adjust the height and had to depend on the spring tension for the comfort of your ride.

 

[Dragoz]

Now my budget is allow me to use second hand adjustable. Below is my finding at marketplace.
Brand: Redsuns
Spec: front 6k rear 4k spring rate, High Low Bodyshift
Is It suitable for wira, how about the riding review.

Better you keep your money first until such time you can buy a better adjustable. Be patients and keep your money until you can purchase a Tein if you ever want to have a comfortable and value for money (secondhand value + no need to worry about servicing) adjustable.

no not saying it will climb (honestly doesnt matter if it climbs abit), but if u have more accurate gauges and try monitor the oil temps, assuming the car is all warmed up and has soaked up heat, you will definitely notice the oil gets abit hotter when idling away in a jam compared to cruising away...
my case the on dash gauge too just goes to a certain point and sits there forever... but the oil temp gauges can show quite a dif.

tldr: unless ur absolutely pushing your car to the limits, cruising temps are typically cooler than idling in jams

Thanks for your info. Now I want to go for a new absorber with sport spring 1st, because mine one only 1.5, not a fast car, standard is enough...hahah

Sometime motor fan is weak will cause temperature high when idling or running slow, this is caused by fan no enough power to speed up like normal when drive slow. Meanwhile, ride high speed at highway will maintaince the fan motor functioning

Better that way. Don't waste money buying something you regret like how I regret using Cap Ayam things.

what you want from ur wira ride (fast, main corner, long distance travel...etc, many factors, many butts feels) ? think for urself and decide to go for shock+spring or adjustable or fully stock.
i let go comfort since start with coilovers.

For highway stable..Its ok need sifu Arlim advice, this is most direct answer

Coolant got radiator and fans cooling it down, oil on the other hand doesn't and oil in contact with piston directly....

yea... that does make sense....

 

[minibeany]

used lightweight wheels....

what improvement will the car get from lightweigh wheels? Any other tuning after changing the wheels?

 

[minibeany]

i want more pick up for my 1.5 VDO. at least not so far behind from the taliban
4-2-1 & twintip on my list. Going to contact AISB factory in Shah Alam to see they sell direct to end-user.

what else? :-) besides swap over to 4G93T . hehehe....

larger bore high comp pistons, skim head, oversize valves, korek throttle body, ported head, 4-2-1 good quality SS extractor into 2.3" SS piping out into a good straight flow muffler. and get Unichip to fine tune it.
