maybe i should rephrase my sentence: my car is OLD, full stop! Not old skool.. If sell my car maybe just enough tu get ur 4g93 halfcut.. Hehe
miss lola, i dont quite get it, but is your air filter exposed or its in da box? If its exposed aka open pod, u could opt for a steel pipe for cooler air.. Cool air = better power = happy lola.. Hehe.. Maybe ur alignment is off.. Might want to check that out.. A tire shop would be better, unless u wanna plonk an evo engine into ur putra.. Hehehe can check ur alignment, toe n balancing too..
Oh dude, youve got torque steer ar? Like when you hantam that time the cars pulls to one side?...
Cool air = higher air density = more oxigen per volumetric = more fuel = more power
= happy lola??? not sure about this.
Bro, i think steel pipe will make the air hotter due to engine bay heat without proper wrapping, c/f or ori piping provide cooler air, however steel air does improve air velocity which helps in mid~hi power with proper tuning... just my 2 cents~
Yes, it's will reduce the drag in the pipe.
We call it intake air ramp.
But like said, it'll also heat up the air if not properly insulated.
Just instal the open pod to the rubber hose. and DIY/Customize/But a heat sheild. Should increase 3bhp.
hi boys...
ok... the standard air filter for putra has this black plastic tube, and connected to this black box, which im not so sure what it is,, then its connected to the filter box. the slot in filter..
what the mech did was, he fix the HKS open pod to the black box.. get what i mean? the slot in filter box has been taken out.. so basically its an open air filter..
to bro little wagon, urm.. yeah kind of.. its like.. the car is fast rasa macam nak melayang kereta.. loose control perhaps?
thxxxxxxxxxxx
The black box u mention is connected with a wiring socket right? That is MAF. U can't remove that or ur fuel injection will go out of control. And u'll see CEL.(Check Engine Light)

the mech didnt say anything about my waterpump...
cuz i asked him to check everything with the car.. the only thing that is not fix is the allignment.. and he said something about the tires... and my a/c compressor bocor... *sigh
Ppl suggest waterpump change during the timing belt change is because ur timing belt change at 100,000km. For daily driven to work car, 100,000 km would be a few years... So, it could also be the time the check on the waterpump as well.
Ok, if u feel vibration on highspeed, it
might have something to do with your wheel balancing.
Aircond compressor how to bocor..? It's either the magnetic clutch not functioning of it's not compressing.

the black box dat u r talkin abt is the Air Flow Sensor....
well..to me...to do a stainless steel pipe to replace ur stock rubber pipe is more for "bling bling" factor lo.....
wif the current set up for ur air filter....all u need to do now is to go hardware shop to buy a 3" diameter hose....abt 1.5meters will do....then connect from ur front bumper to the HKS filter...
viola...DIY CAI dat cost less than RM100.....
as for ur "rasa nak malayang" prob...
better go to tyre shop to do up ur balancing n allignment....
since ur car hav been left there for 2yrs....
n also...check the condition of ur tyres....
they may look good as in "bunga" still a lot...
but then same case as the timing belt...rubber tends to get harden over time....
ur tyres may get harden as well...n its very dangerous...ur tyres wont grip/might crack....
Cool air induction kit nowadays with shiny blink blink finishing also cost <RM100.
Agreed with the tyres... Please check.
