it's time for show-off Sunday, where everyone has a chance to show off their
own car and here's this week's winner, rev up your engine
hello everyone this is Daniel from Singapore and I like thank mr.
Scotty Kilmer for having me film this video and
so this is my humble ride, it's a year 2006 proton Wira, and right now I can't
wait to show you the amount of features that this car doesn't have, it doesn't
have cruise control, it doesn't have airbags,
there isn't an automatic rain sensing wipers, there's no automatic climate
control there's no heater, there's no bluetooth
connectivity there's no mp3 connectivity, there's no
automatic changing gears, but there is very handy glove box which contains my
parking coupons and my kind of Bible, now this car is manufactured from the Year
1993 to 2009 and it has only gone through very minor facelifts
appearance-wise, as the latest models look almost identical to the Pioneer
models, so from every angle this looks exactly like any Japanese cars made in
the early 90s, the proton Wira is owned by people from a wide range of demographics,
there's no one sort of people who own this car, you know you
have housewives who use it to send their children to school, you have senior
citizens who are still driving the first few batches of this car, and you have
youngsters who like to modify it by fitting Mitsubishi Evo parts in them,
and this was how the car looked like when I first got it, it had a side skirt,
front lips, which were held on by nothing more than masking tape, and after that I
removed the front lip the side skirts and scraped off all the adhesive residue
caused by the masking tape, and finally I replaced a set of a shiny new alloy rims
with another set of old basic and rugged looking steel rims, so this car is
powered by Mitsubishi 4g15 single overhead cam shaft valve 1.5
liter engine, producing like three foot-pounds of torque and 88 horse
powers and now let's have a listen at the
engine does it
sound healthy I have no idea, so this car is basically a rebadged fourth
generation Mitsubishi Lancer, therefore all of its drivetrain components the
engine, the chassis, the integral parts of the car are manufactured by Mitsubishi
while proton the Malaysian car company did the branding, the interior, and the
exterior trims, this car is rather common in its
homeland Malaysia, where it is exported to other parts of the world such as
Egypt, Iran, England, and Southeast Asia, cars are really expensive in Singapore
for various reasons, you have to pay for taxes, you to pay for certificates, I do not
wish to go into detail here, but they are expensive especially new ones, so an
alternative would be to go to a used car website to search for a used car
which was what I did, now this car clearly exceeded all my expectations, I
was expecting an engine gasket leak, I was expecting engine oil leaks, engine
failures, transmission failures, clutch slippage, but so far it has only gone
through one set of engine mounts and a brand new fuel pump, a new crank sensor
the oil needed replacing, so I learned how to change the oil and I've also learned
how to change new brake pads and radiator fan for this vehicle, so now I'm
secretly hoping for this vehicle to break down often, so that I can learn to
replace new parts, it's got so much more to offer, I've done so many dumb things with
this car, we have gone through long distances we've gone off road, we've gone
through long trips with family and friends, but however due to certain laws
and regulations here, I'm forced to scrap this car in three years time, which is a
pity, I have no regrets of getting this car and I'm really gonna miss it very
dearly, now I didn't mean to end the video on such a sad note but
now I'd just like to rev up my engine
well that was this week's video and remember to have your car video
highlighted here on my channel, check this out,
so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to
ring that Bell!
