a wira 1.5 handles quite good. plonk in one of those 4G9x series engine, with upgrades suspension and brakes and a 15" wheel...
or use back the stock 4G15 and bring it to powerzone...
i read the article hanging in their garage bout a 1.3 wira with 130 whp...owner spent more or less 5K....
by the way, i will have to postpone my plan to change the car...and it will not be a conti...:(
the owner of the 156 selespeed decided not to sell. i was mad at first, but giving it a good thought, things do happen for a reason, as they say,its not that bad actually...
the car (my gti)has been jerking lately, especially in 2nd and 3rd gear, below 3000rpm...after a thourough checking with my mech, we found out that the ignition coil needs to be replaced...bought a new unit from proton parts centre glenmarie and AFTER DISCOUNT, that piece of metal costed me bout RM600...plus installation RM35....but then, it felt like a new car immediately!!
and this squeeling/squeeking sound when u want to move on 1st gear...we managed to sort it out as well! turned out to be the anti roll bar bush...
and talking about powerzone, i did pay them a visit a few months back for a quotation of some upgrades...and Wan called me twice since then, asking bila nak hantar keta?? so, after sending my lovely wife to work (she hates driving!), i headed to glenmarie and jeng jeng jeng................!!!!heheheh....a new 4-2-1 tuned length extractor is fixed.its just an extractor, but the difference is OBVIOUS!!really worth more than what i've spent...
so with all unnecessary sounds wiped away, a tuned length extractor, R3 muffler (not that old also..)and the sparks now delivered equally to each cylinder.....it actually felt better than the 147 i tested last week! and what better is, i dont have an issue of an italian reliability here and i can make a wiser investment in the property market, which i had left for some time - and with the recent announcement of the waiver of RPGT, it is expected to give the property market some sort of a kick-off, in this soft and lean market trend...and hopefully, after this wise investment had given us its fruitful returns....i'll give those italians another shot...maybe a brand new GT...or Brera...or a 159..........?
now have to tell mizi's friend....hmmm...any ideas guys?
