Proton Wira upgrade - progress update May 2016
H5N1 position out of guys receive got been bespeak me how my Proton Wira upgrade is getting along as well as my response is sadly, "Not much".
Since my finally update: Proton Wira modifications nether RM1K project: Part 2
I receive got made really few upgrades to my Dad's sometime Proton Wira which has inwards fact conk my motorcar - to drive to Work, fetch the kids from school, etc. The primary argue behind the delay is likely because of my stubborn insistence on doing most of the operate myself - DIY, as well as diverse other reasons - also busy amongst operate as well as the kids, lack of a proper garage at domicile to operate in, lack of tools, blah blah but I realise most of them are excuses I build to myself.
The affair is that I receive got a conflict inwards my head/ pump going on deciding whether it is worth it to pass hence much coin on an sometime motorcar when I could only position it downwards for installment on a build novel motorcar which comes amongst no headaches for at to the lowest degree iii years. Maybe it had to practice amongst the numerous people telling me to larn a novel car, including my parents as well as fifty-fifty my daughter.
There were a few incidents every bit good - the motorcar AC started having problems as well as hence I noticed engine heating up. Later I flora out that the fan was non working as well as had to larn it changed. Then a lady reversed her motorcar onto mine - fortunately the harm was non that bad as well as I it took only one-half a hateful solar daytime to larn the bump repaired as well as repainted at the pigment store close my house. Finally, the dreaded ability window failure happened. Now the correct paw window can't conk upwards or down. Just made me realise how Proton's lack of lineament control, particularly amongst regards to the ability window, totally destroyed client loyalty as well as Pb to the troubles it is currently facing now. However, the fact that I receive got no debts makes me actually reluctant to larn a novel motorcar - I volition live on paying off debts to the banks for at to the lowest degree half dozen years.
If I practice eventually purchase a car, it volition live on paid for inwards cash as well as I invention to purchase a Mercedes H5N1 class, or perhaps a BMW 1 series. I prefer a pocket-sized zippy car. However, it is definitely going to receive got or hence fourth dimension to accumulate the sum of coin needed as well as who knows, past times hence nosotros would all likely live on using driverless cars past times then.
I did receive got or hence operate done.
1. I changed the emblem inwards the front end from the greenish - golden i to the novel silver-black one. I got it inexpensive at Brothers. Definitely looks better.
2. I also changed the sometime worn out gear stick encompass to novel ones. Bought the novel encompass online on Lelong.com.my. Installation was fairly easy.
3. I hence had my steering bicycle changed every bit good to a Fake Momo from Brothers. I receive got no persuasion how they tin larn away amongst selling mistaken items. Fitting it was also a hurting every bit their workers (new staff) took ages to friction match it on my car.
I abhor mistaken materials as well as ended upwards regretting buying the steering almost immediately. I tried removing the Momo logo sticker on the middle of the steering bicycle as well as it at nowadays looks terrible. This is something I receive got got to alter shortly to a genuine Momo steering or perhaps a Nardi, but spending almost RM 500+ on a build novel steering bicycle is something non on top of my priorities correct now.
4. One affair I knew I could practice myself quite fast were the pedals. So I bought Ralliart pedals from the Maxaudio site as well as installed them myself. The slow purpose were the clutch as well as brake pedals. However, to install the accelerator pedals, I flora out that I would receive got to drill holes inwards them. In the destination I ended upwards super-gluing them on - using super rigid Araldite glue.
5. Finally I had Ultra Racing strut bar installed inwards the front. I persuasion I would practice myself but I could non shift the crews fifty-fifty a few mm as well as finally had to conk to my favorite garage where Paul as well as his squad installed. The motorcar handing dos experience ameliorate amongst less trunk gyre afterward the installation but I may live on imagining it.
I receive got a listing of things I invention to practice on my car, hence hold off for my side past times side update.
