For all of you who still having more than 10 years old wira, lets share
some experience on current condition, changes made to make the car
better, future plans or modification etc.

I`ve got some experience as all my 3 cars are over 10 years old (my saga
coming to 20 years old next year and still running strong, wira 11 years
old and kancil 10 years old)

Can oso do some kind of Jubli (Gangsa, Perak or Emas) gatherings.
Currently, doing some personal long term experiments on how long can my
Wira last.

My story:

Still running my Wira 1.8EXi(A). It's a SOHC, 16V 4G93c with original
engine and gearbox. Bought by my father in '96 (new) till '04. I bought
it because he's upgrading to V6 and he nearly sell it to used car. At
that time, I still negotiating with a seller that wants to sell his 1.8
DOHC. I straight away bought the car and pass the 1.8 DOHC to my friend
and he bought it.

Car still nice, 197,000km already. Still can run until 190km/h (I don't
dare to push more to protect g/b). Original paint although the bonnet got
cancer already and roof got 12 rust bubble. till waiting to be send for
complete respray maybe next month.

Only a little mod such as K&N drop-in filter and g/b cooler. Still
running with ori AAC rims. Player changed to sony (ori blaupunkt kaput).
Other than that all still running beautifully except for rear blinder
kaput (cable putus).

Facts & Figures:
*Stranded once by roadside (g/b oil hose koyak)
*Once thief got into the car to steal player and smartag
*Highest repair bill to date RM 1,500 to change all the front mounting,
bushes, lower tie end rod etc.
*Maintainence done only by one workshop in cheras.
*Things to change:- shock absober, repaint, front disc brake.

p/s: gathering would be nice. Tell when and where.
