Which 1.6L used car to go?

[boyzone]

Why did you do that?

Save $$ instead of keep changing the power window motor.
Btw, I also did the same on my Satria few years ago

The gasket seems rather fragile... When I am cleaning my car this week, I'll probably try and locate where the screws are in the first place...

You're rich. So fast modding a lot of stuff into the car. Can't wait to hear from you about the final result of all the mods.

It's not fragile at all. In that picture I can see the gasket already. It's sticking out mah! And the TB only has 4 x 10mm size long bolts holding it down. Remove the black rubber intake hose by loosening that clamp which probably uses 10mm as well.

I think later on if it's still available, I will either get myself a FD or a Putra as a project car. DOHC 1.8L can stroke to 2.2L or closeby. With that power and that light chassis, it's really quite a good combo

Then do a 50/50 weight balance for the car :top:
Like the BMW 320i is 50/50. Car handling really good. Feels like you are in control and not being controlled.

But my doortrim is changed to 1.3 manual window turning. Still can put in component ?

The speaker usually will be at the bottom, any space for that? The component tweeter will be on the dash...

Almost bought a Putra myself. Metallic yellow some more. But at that time looking for 4 door already....

Yup, near your feet. Dont think the 3 in 1 will fit like std without having interference with the window.

Aiyoh....if i read correctly this car suppose to take bro TS from point A to point B only right?
Now slowly turning into a mega project.

Now is July, I bet after Raya he will be posting about ECU tuning, performance engine part.
And by next year, put it up for sale.
Lets hope i have the cash by then.

Power window is really that bad? Thankfully mine is still okay after 15 years.

Just now when I was at home, I opened the hood to look at the throttle body. I found the gasket already. Now I saw several wires and stuff connected to the TB...

Which FD? FD2 or FD3S... FD3S is going to be really expensive for maintenance... Putra is nice, C99, 4G93... Worth to consider.

Putra is cheap what... Why din't get it. But for that price, can get AE101 SEG or EG Civic...

He mentioned component, means separate speaker and tweeter with cross overs. Biggest usually 6", if no space then 5" and smallest is 4". Tweeter usually the same size...

Mine was bad, even rear manual winding mechanism broke....

The putra I was looking at that time was quite new...

Your Wira how old already? Carburetor or Injection?

When Putra is still new, that should be several years ago. Back then, EG and AE101 probably cost even more.

Meh. My wira custom job fit 7" Dynoaudios.

Erm... he... doesn't have... a Wira? Nickname already VR2Turbo lor.



Just an fyi, there was a lot of cost cutting (so it would seem) with the Putra. Antiroll bars were thinner, sound proofing was lesser and the price was as high as the GTI. And c99 chassis isn't invincible. A heavily modded 4G93 will still be too much for the C99 chassis. If I ever do get a Putra, the first thing I'd probably do (apart from checking for rust) is spot weld and straighten the chassis (if necessary).

And I like the FD3S. Stock twin turbo form please!

Carb model 1.5(M). Sold in 2003. Power window, first owner changed once, under me again change, then got one time even the rear manual one...

I remember last time he mention he got Wira...

So, Putra's chassis wasn't exactly as good as the original Mitsubishi Mirage Asti chassis then.. . Sound proofing won't matter much if you want the car for performance but antiroll bars do matter... About modded 4G93, I remember you once mentioned about a Putra with heavy 4G93 NA mods until the chassis cracked or something? Something about the canard creating downforce until it ripped off the bumper. Is it?

If kept the FD3S stock, maintenance should be fine? I saw before in youtube where there is this thing called bridge port mod in FD3S's engine that creates a loud brap brap brap sound. I still don't have much idea what port means in Rotary...

Din't know 1.5 uses manual window for rear. Mine all four also power window.

First batch, power front, manual rear cost down probably.....

RM11.5k @ yr 97, a lot of parts already wear and tear.
Since the car price is cheap, this is why I have extra budget to minor mod
