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

[vr2turbo]

I wouldn't change to a undersized crank pulley. In those days the only usable pulley was the mythelogy one because of the dampener it came with. I recommend you keep the stock pulley otherwise the engine will rev fast but the car doesn't move much. It's annoying.

My original crank pulley came apart into 3 pcs....lol My mechanic machine a solid one for me, still using after so many years.......

Now juz step by step making the car nicer to drive 1st.
I had 2 choice
1 take this package rm3500
2 4g93 sohc lantai rm4500 but haven't tambah installation fee hahahahaha

might as well take the option 1if I still want to pay rm90 roadtax.Hahahahaha

#2 with RM4.5k why not just take the whole Satria GTi engine.

engine lantai might be worn already.. its a risk..

 

[KHNG940413]

Before you decide which to take, why not ask them what kind of improvements will you achieve based on their previous rebuild on other customer? Rough estimates like 110whp..something like that Better if can see the dyno graph of their previous customers (sometimes they do take pic using their hp).

WIll do so. IF the car can make 120hp I am enough.Hahahahaha

need to tambah installation fee,endose fee and other hidden cost that I am not sure does it have.
hahahahaha

okay...I think is fb issue.
The package is like this
* Art Piston 75.5mm/76mm/77mm
* Head Port & Polish
* BC Camshaft
* BC Valve Spring
* Matel Gasket
* King Bearing
* Crank Balancing
* Labour Charge
* Warranty 6 Bulan
* FREE Dyno

RM3.5k and yes that is quite some $$$

based on those things, you'll get more torque for sure. But if you go 77mm you should try to find the 4G18 crank and get that fitted in too. Do a PNP too since everything is out.

But having said that 3500 + crank (used is about 800 bucks) and PNP job about 1500 give or take, that can get you a 4G93 already..... so pros and cons...

wow. price went up eh for 93 sohc. lantai sumore. last time can get complete with gearbox for that price. swap fee usually around 700-1.5k depending on the parts needed to change. i advice bring a mech to check the engine lantai if you're buying that. or best just go search on FB groups for better offer.

however, i would still advice u to save up and wait for a 4g92 dohc non mivec or 92 sohc. save roadtax, a bit more mod than the 93 but definitely can make same or more power. also the 92 block stroke is shorter so u can up the rev cut higher. hehehe.

Nice. Mine is a duck tail style.
During lockdown time I juz clean both of my car engine bay since the jazz for my dad & mom shopping & go out makan car is still clean and neat.

But the wira.... Yes,there is a lot of dirt,sand and those oil stain that had in the car for don't know how many year. Took me some time to clean. And also clean the throttle body with throttle cleaner.
The accelerate feel for smooth after the cleaning.

remove all seats and do thorough vacuum to get all dust esp under the front seats and between the seat and center console.

i only wash it when it rains. drive fast fast to get all the dirt and grime under the car. hahaha

If u can afford it go for proper re-wrap of the seats. Seat covers are just there to cover the original seats. My BLM is using such covers for RM280. Its black with red stiching. Looks good enough for me compared to the dust gathering original seat material. Once the rubber strip holding the covers loosen up, the cover will looks ugly. If u daily your car and always carry passenger this will comes quicker.

I use the black moon car seat cover. It does not cover fully but it does not heat up hot under the sun

I need to have an impact gun otherwise I wouldn't do it. Anything that takes more than 15 minutes to do for one wheel means I won't do it.

Not daily car. A dinosaur exhibit only. From the day bought the car... it only occupy 2 front seats. Rear seat still looks like new. Firm cushion. Was thinking to wrap the seat... an accessories in Puchong is asking for RM480 for all the seats. Ok price?
