Its like driving a 4G15P(Auto) compares to 4G18P(Manual) .Maybe the gap even wider.
Ram me if you can!

Wira 1.8 DOHC Limited Edition was only 2450 units in market, Proton built this premium edition to meet the homologation to meet the World Rally requirement (by Karamjit). The only colour available is Morjaco black. It was released to market between Mid 1995 to 1997 only.



There were another 50 units which is so called RS (Rally Spec) edition that's claim to be much more powerful then the Limited Edition as it has even much unique ECU (Rally setting), the down side for this 50 model was its a stripped down version which has no factory fitted Recaro seat, Momo steering and gear knob, not even power windows. The interior just like a Wira 1.3. They wanted the car to be as 'light' as possible. The unique-ness for this car was it running on a set of ROH sport rim compare to Limited Edition AAC's rim. The only colour available is White



This model majority own buy malay (dunno why) maybe ppl think its a 'cold' market car but i can tell its the most aggressive/powerful stock standard Proton 1.8 engine as the ECU is fully from Mitsubishi with NO speed & rev cut (unlike GSR ECU)

Up to today, estimate 60% (maybe more) of the total 2450 unit is either gone in accidental or being modded to god knows what engine/look...and chances of finding a 90% stock standard model is almost impossible.

This car has a 9K RPM meter + 260KM/H Speedo. Touching 200KM/H is not a big deal....

Upon its discontinuation, Proton 'move' the chasis to Putra, later on to SGTi, 1st batch of Putra in 1997 still carry same spec as Wira 1.8 LE but the down side is its a coupe wink.gif






Hey bro, you've still can count on me, my 1.8 EXi Ltd Edition, yrs end 95' (No speed & rpm cut, 220km/h> anytime..) I don't know how many still out there.. but I'm sure if you see one of this mine its really LIMITED EDITION now..! Still with ori dk grey colour, c/w ori recaro seats front & back (recently reupholstery to RECARO premium black leather, ori full leather MOMO stering & gear knob (which I didn't used) & ori spoiler with fully funtion brakes lights.This machine still kicking hard in perfectly condition with my 17" Work sport rims. The only modification i did was the full set of ezhaust pipe, sport rims, front & rear lamps & audio system. But recently I'm planning get a new paint job & whole new look for it.. Any comment?

It has been more than 5yrs she wif me.. We used to drove 7 of this 1.8EXi Ltd Edition together, so powerful with the manual (Very hard to find this batch anymore) like you said, most of my bro modified it, changed to GSR tubro, accidents, sold it & most of us now uppgrade to D1 machine... only left mine only.. Actually I almost sell it too, but just happen to be we love this babe a lots..

Wira 1.8 smile_thumbup.gif
Spoiler tiang gol is its famous trademark.
But to find one that is not being mod is hard,hard,hard lah.
I like it as it is.
Couple years back i do see it frequently on the road but now,soo hard.
Even a Putra oso people buang2 like sampah.
No kidding one,i saw one putra being left to rot at a workshop. smile_disapprove.gif
