@testdriver
kkindly tell me where to get the speedometre, lights etc corrected. pindi/ islamabad. rates of speedometre?

[testdriver]

@shahabrk

You can go for a multi-PCD rim...

@faisal8hak

Speedo meter is available for around Rs.2200/= from old part shops of Daewoo (Remember to purchase the speedo with w=1125 written on it). The existing lights could be re-chromed worth Rs.700/=, while a set of new Chinese headlights is available around Rs.1800/=. The existing lights could be repaired by the Central Automobile guy (I-9), contact them on 051-4433107(Mr. Athar)

@testdriver

thanks once again for all ur advice!

few suggestions required:-
1. i checked up for seat covers, and its evident, no ready made will fit. so where to get good looking, not expensive type seat covers
2. my wind screen has problem, as light of incoming front car makes me blind (as it makes expanded light circle). any solution other than replacing the entire wind screen
3. rear door lock is required(complete inner thing)
secondly can u share ur mob no as i will be away from net and at some time need immediate expert daewoo advice. mine is 0345-5913982

@Faisal

Please check your email!

1. First of all, you need customised seat covers. I know a place where you can get them done. Contact the following person:

Zaheer-ud-Din Babar
Al-Asar Poshish, I&T Center, G-7 (near Fire brigade), Adjacent to Master Wheel Alignment
0300-5151627

Ask him Adnan (Daewoo walay) has sent you :).

Otherwise, you can contact any seat cover shop about customised seat covers at Rawalpindi Saddar.

1. Contact Shaan Windscreen at Stadium Road, this problem will be resolved..

2. Rear door lock is around Rs.700/=....

sorry for late replies but too much work at office

@shahabrk
Have you installed the rims.If so,Is there any vibartion issue?.Try to get the Rim Size 13''--@testdriver has 14''-- but it is your choice but I wont recommend as you will then have to decrease your tire profile which will lead to bumpier drive(Less space for tyre to absorb shocks leading to shortened life of shocks).

@Faisal
If you didnt find the seat covers then visit RAJA bazaar Rawalpindi.There you will get the ready made ones.

As for the windscreen,as @testdriver suggested,Visit Shaan windscreen

For the rear door handle,visit Federal Autos I-10 Islamabad Phno:-4443594,4440508 .He just recieved fresh stock of new parts

[shahabrk]

thanks @ testdriver

@shaan
no not installed yet but working on it coz some financial problem came but i will change the rims to 14 and tires to 60 rpophile and i dont think it will be very low profile to have a bumpy ride any way wat u suggest bcoz i really want to increase the rim size13 is very6 small for a big car like daewoo and there is not much variety in 13 inch rims.

[shaan]

@shahabrk
Original alloy rims for Daewoo Cielo 1997 are 14'' with 185/65 tyres but they are specially designed for the vehicle thus have no idea what the conventional ones will do after installing them in Daewoo racer 1993 but a few friends installed this specific size RIM & tyre and were complaining of mild vibration near 115km/hr which eventually diminishes to almost untocible state over 125km/hr.Feul consumption city reduced by 0.8km/L.

[shahabrk]

so shaan i think there wont be any problem since i think the body design is 90% same of both racer and cielo so i can go for 185 65 r14 tyres and i think the vibration is due to the pcd as testdriver discuss earlier. any other thing u can suggest or share i will be very glad. thanks for the input.

@stonedsaint

First of all, non-CNG Daewoo are very rare. In case, you manage to find one, it will be around Rs. 2.5 Lac in a reasonable condition....(y)

[azkhan]

@testdriver
thanx sir.

[umerbutt_pucit]

well guyz i am also a big fan of daewoo. Thats why i am preparing a Daewoo Ceilo it has 1.8L DOHC 16V Engine with 5 speed trans, sports suspensions imported from Korea big disc breaks. Body Kit. and much more. It will be ready to rumble very soon.

[shaan]

@shahabrk
You can install the alloy rims without any problem if PCD is same.Kindly let us know about the results if you do install them

@stonedsaint
There are still very rare Daewoo Racer`s driven on petrol and are very well kept(maintained according to provided vehicle M-Schedule) and are originally driven under 100000-150000km but a vehicle of this specs will cost around 300000-350000km as requires no work at all

[testdriver]

@umerbutt

You mean C18LE that came in Espero? From where did you get it......I was in search of this block but didn't find any....Please confirm!

[stonedsaint]

@ALL daewoo racer owners
kindly tell me, have anyone converted its stock 4 speed trans to 5 speed trans in racer 1.5L stock engine ? hows its performance on long routes, in city, millage , pick etc ..... satisfied or not ? cost and where they modify it from ?

[testdriver]

The 5-speed gear box is just a bolt-on job. It has same gear ratios with an addition of one more gear ratio i.e. the 5th gear. In 4-speed gear box, you will attain a speed of 100Km/H in 3K rpms while the same 3K rpms will give you around 120Km/H on 5th gear......It is more economical on long routes!

I am using a 5-speed gear box for the last 6 years and MaSha'Allah it is doing well! (y)

[testdriver]

It costs around Rs.7500-8500 depending on condition. You can contact at the following address:

Central Automobile Engineers
051-4433107 (Mr. Athar)
Opposite Caltex Petrol pump, I-9, Islamabad
