Perodua Viva - what mods?

[4gbanger]

i agree with bro vr2... maybe just mod it to look good.. 15 inch rim.. avy bodypart... new paint.. its gonna look sick bro..

 

[leynye yamin]

Viva is a powerful car, auto is better, as auto you can control gear shift with your throttle, only is that if you use revving hard on auto, you must add atf cooler, to protect the auto gearbox, next you can upgrade front brake with a myvi front caliper and rotor brake set, then you can choose bucket seat (i prefer fully bucket, cheaper and serve the purpose). and most important i will get a set of lowered spring to match the sporty feel. yours is viva elite right? then appearance wise no need to do much, as it is very nice already, just need lowered.

steering no need to change, follow japan style, they only change parts that need upgrading and retain those parts that can be used.

Thanks bro, I saw your post in the other thread also, follow your advice a lot :)
Yep mine is Viva Elite. What place do you recommend to get atf cooler from?

Glad you understand, to me just that Viva is not a car to be mod fast.....:rolleyes:

It's actually quite fast for its size and follows its ancestors the kelisa and the kancil, as both are the same model so I'm willing to take it as far as it's able to go :)
I like seeing the limits of such a compact car.

 

[badmelatonin]

i wud go for these simple mods:
1) UR front strut & rear anti-roll bar
2) stiff ring
3) SP GAB lowered spring
4) te37 14" 6JJ (replica) + Achilles ATR-K Sport 165/55/R14
5) front Brembo MAX rotor/disc + some ceramic brake pad
6) SuperCircuit Steel Braided Brake Lines
7) WORKS lightened cam pulley
8) WORKS hi-flo drop in filter
9) Adhoc Voltaggio voltage stabilizer
10) Firestorm Ignition Coil Booster (hyper) + Denso Iridium spark plug

side note: driving speed max on normal day @ 90km/h & rainy day @ 60km/h. . follow road speed limit to b safe

As everyone else would suggest, handling and braking come first before everything else, because you don't want to ride on a rocket without a landing parachute. Once you are pretty sure this aspect is well taken care of, you get the confidence in driving your car.

That should be your first mod. Good luck, and remember other cars on the road are innocent. They are people's son, daughter, wife, husband, father, mother, brother, sister.

Amazing Ixeo never forget to broadcast the community service message, but you forgot there are also people's girlfriend, mistress and cat and dog who are equally important. Forgive me

Go for wider tyre, and improve your braking system.. If u feel underpowered, can do BOT. Try to search around on google how turbo works and parts needed before u go for this.. Auto also no problem if u r speed junkies.. U r not going for race everyday tho. Peace..

 

[et5828]

A piece of advice. It is very hard to unleash this car performance due the limited engine capacity. But there is hope still on making the car doin better corners.

This is my passed experience with my kelisa modded to 1300 cc manual

 

[DanzEterna]

try asking Melvin, his avatar is a green ford fiesta, he previously had a viva elite with mods,
can enter sepang summore.

 

[infinity.melvin]

oi.. y put my name here hahaha!! small potato only my car.. saja tak tau malu go sepang lol

anyways, these were my mods on my slow auto trans viva elite.

-Genuine Apexi Power Intake Open Pod K-Car Spec + Custom Alu Ram Pipe (recommended to use drop in)
-Works Lightened Crank Pulley
-Works Engineering Magnetic Oil Sump Nut
-Dsports 1.3bar Radiator Cap
-Forged Racing Radiator Fan
-Hayden ATF cooler
-Full SS Exhaust System (3-1 Manifold) piping try with 1.5" or 1.6" max for NA, anything more is too much
-UltraRacing 2pt Front Upper Struts
-UltraRacing 3pt Rear Bar
-UltraRacing 3pt Fender Bar
-UltraRacing 2pt Anti Roll Bar 18mm
-UltraRacing 2pt Rear Lower Arm Bar
-Dsports Front Sway Bar
-Stiffrings Rigid Collar
-BC Racing V1 Series Street and Circuit 30pt HLSH Coilovers (from a MYVI 1.3, fits into viva)
-Large single pot caliper + R32 280mm Crossed-Drilled Rotor + (Track :480*C Pads) (Street :420*c Pads) [single pot is good enough, twin pot and beyond is overkill for such a small car]
-Pro-RS Steel Braided Brake Hose [shitty hose, broke and almost killed me. recommended to use SuperCircuit hose]
-Kumho KU31 Ectsa SPT Street Rubbers [165/50/15, the only good tyres for this size back then, works like a charm in Sepang]
-TPI Lugs Nuts
-Genuine Desmond Evo Regamaster 15x6.5jj [If possible, recommend you to use 14" with 165/55/14 because Achilles recently launch new semi slick - ATR K Sport for this size]
-NRG Gauge
-Lubed by Motul 300V, Motul ATF, Motul Coolant

Was considering for a k3vet swap till i decided to change car LOL!

anyways if i still have the car, the following NA mods will be done to it
-Velocity Intake Manifold
-14" rims with Achilles ATR K Sports
-Port & Polish [NastyPortFlow]
-probably emanage / unichip it to squeeze that extra 4-5 whp and torque from the mods :)

any further would be BOT or k3vet swap, but im more of a handling kinda person than power hunger, hence u see mostly handling mods done. With the above setup, the car handles like a go kart, but kinda stiff for daily use. anyways, viva is a light car and a very fragile car. not suited for high speed use.. drive safe and have fun modding! :)

 

[vr2turbo]

That is a lot on modding.....

 

[DanzEterna]

melvin,

wow...tats alot of mod for a viva...must have cost quite a fair bit of money.

 

[pwhyze]

Dude..awesome mod list! Dont even care that it's a Viva. Question, how would you rate your fully modded Viva with your current Fiesta?

 

[RENESIS VIII]

sure why not.. all items stated above just plug and play items

Thanks for the reply. From you, now I get to know what to mod in Viva if I own one of it in the future.

 

[infinity.melvin]

hmm.. well fiesta also going on the similar pathway mods. but all i can say is viva handles like a go kart with all the mods haha. can tackle almost all corners i encounter on the road with minimal to no braking hehe
couple with good fc, small and happy car, easy to park everywhere... not a bad car after all. just that gotta drive slow.. ive tried up till 160kmph before on north south highway, pretty scary driving a k car up to that kinda speed. safety definitely an issue, but then again. good town driving car

fiesta of course better power delivery and good handling right out from the box with no mods. all in all its a different category all together haha. but then again, the experience gained is priceless. really learn alot about handling, how each and every part affects handling characteristics and also it is cheaper to mod a viva than a fiesta. so now im using those experience to slowly mod my fiesta step by step :p

still a loooong way to learn from all the sifus lurking here in zth. time to explore more on the power department :)

[infinity.melvin]
