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

[Izso]

Wira update

Go to a Kilang that fix my company lorry.
After checking they say is Compressor magnet coil rosak (dunno I pronounced it right or not) not the compressor rosak. Cost is around RM150++

Hoseh is not the compressor rosak. Lucky me
Hahahahahaaha

That's usually the case. But RM480 for a new compressor is not too bad if it includes workmanship and gas. If recon then that's a no-go. Don't bother with halfcut aircon compressors la. Aircon use new because Wira aircon parts is the cheapest option out there. Myvi aircon compressor new is RM850-900. China mari is RM600. And this is the old 1.3 Myvi not the latest model.

In the workshop where my car is changing the abs & spring. The Boss of the workshop saw the issue he juz went to the store room and find me a set of Gab spring
Wah,boss your market strategy very pro ah.
He say this is the batch from Thailand(I dun know where actually gab come from 1st) after produce in Malaysia he didn't restock already sell me cheap.
So potong price ngam ngam then install back agn.
After driving for a day the ride height had drop from 4 finger gap to 3. The rear still retain the same 2 finger gap. The drive on smooth & rough surface is acceptable for me didn't feel any bumpy going over pothole also ok. Going over bump & coming down from Shopping mall isn't an issue.
Maybe is New absorber & new spring the matching is great. Didn't scrap any think.

Nice springs. Comes with helper springs! The newer Gabs don't seem to have that. You see the shorter and thinner coils at the top? That one usually compresses faster so you get more or less comfy ride, under load only the thicker bottom springs compress and that one usually quite stiff. What are the spring rates given?

Ask yourself why compressor magnetic clutch is damaged. Were you experiencing sudden clutch/declutch prior to this?

Also contemplate whether it's worth paying 150 for a new clutch when a recond compressor comes with one.

Yah,you are right. Sometimes low doesn't mean better handling.

In my own case, after my suspension was upgraded into the 1.6/1.8 setup, it handled much better as in stability, steering response and lesser body roll despite looking much higher on the outside. If you look at external appearance alone, you would assume that before I upgrade, the car is probably more stable because it is quite low while it looks much higher now where you might assume it won't be stable. At least that is how many people assumed after they saw my new setup before riding or driving my car.

For mine,in future I will instal rear strut & rear anti roll bar and also front anti roll bar. Now my car bodyroll is lesser juz want to make it more solid abit. Hahahaha

I've also equipped mine with Wira 1.6 rear anti roll bar during the upgrade. You mean front strut bar? Because front already got anti roll bar originally.

 

[minibeany]

Funny thing happened
Yesterday I had install the absorber & spring. But the spring is so damn high. Maybe they gave me the wrong product although the sticker say is for wira 1.5. The shop I buy saw the picture and refund for me. Even A uncle drive a modified Pajero saw my car also say,wah why your wira so damn high a?Hahahahahahaha

so funny... did you take a picture from the side view... it looks like a buggy car

I don't think mine is original one. The ex owner install a aftermarket one. I tot front also have front anti roll bar? At the front bottom one.

Sadly didn't you can imagine a wira been jack up to a 4x4 spec. Hahahahahah

 

[lsm1991]

To be honest. What were they thinking making the car so high.Hahahahaha

[KHNG940413]

high, probably rally> all

[KHNG940413]

If you guys look back the picture is probally 10~12 fingee gap. Hahahahaha
I laugh like hell when I saw the car

while idling in traffic I feel the rpm is a little bit weird. Is like going up abit going down abit feel. Is not really notiseble.

It is. C99 was created to allow Proton to join the rally driven by Keramjit Singh. Not mistaken the criteria s has to oroducdp 2500 unut to qualified as rally car.

rpm going up/down when aircond compressor kick in.
Or it happened when car idle + aircond OFF.

Now juz only the magnetic coil rosak so juz change that. RM200 include labour & masuk gas

Spring rate I am not sure. I didn't go and check it. Hahahaha

Why change the whole compressor for recon unit if only the magnetic clutch got problem? Compressor working fine.....
