Why would this damage the engine?

Petronas Syntium. You can use other engine oil if you know what you are doing.

the effect is very minimal.

and my engine oil is not black one...

Slowly rev to 1.5k RPM only ok. Not asking you to bwang bwang bwang rev to 6k in the morning (you can't even if you want to, P and N rev cut at 2.5k ....

i do notice the rev, but then i still usually need to wait for like 2 minute to let the heat lvl go to 2nd 1. the way i park also is head in frist, so everytime i have to reverse. when reverse, the jerk is worst.

you do rev your engine in the morning?

no, is when it jsut start, it will auto rev quite high during the morning. when day time or it was already warm, it doesnt really auto rev so high.

How high? and for how long?

Clutch no need to converter its direct torque output. Torque converter is a huge bearing in the conventional AT gearbox, to smoothen power output from flywheel to power train. Detail process widely available in Google.

Not sure abt CVT, but any other EFI car should start & drive gently while warming up instead of let it idle to avoid carbonize below 2krpm, wear & tear basically not much different.

Will try it and see, and i didnt go measure the rev how high, just can feel is lower during day time, morning 1st start is higher.

as for wear and tear. =_= ntg is worst than the drum brake still giving me that sound, although is less and not so often already. but still annoyed the hell out of me when i switch my radio off.

when reverse try not to press the accelerator.. it will move slowly and up to speed..
unless it's too steep.. that will also warm-up the cvt.

and to drive forward, try gradual pressing on accelerator
if u release it then that's when it jerk.. if u let it move forward itself also good
but slower

sometimes when getting out of parking at mall, it will usually rev higher coz u want to move fast = deeper accel pedal
the best still slow and steady

Well, since it's a new car, I would prefer to exchange with a new car also Obviously, some top up would be involved, was discussing with my SA that RM1k top up from the FLX Exec owner, now wondering if I offered too low.

Not like I'm some car critique, seriously, I need to compare the stock tail lamps and also the smoked tail lamps on the maroon body to get a second opinion. Tail lamps isn't a priority to go, the seats definitely are, leather is Malaysian weather is really

Grexer, i also wanna swap my front leather seat.. hahaha..

the seat not really comfortable for me since i have a big arse!

if still no buyer.. by end of the year.. planning to plonk in Soon Seng Cushion Euro PU. .. baru racing look a like! hahaha

racer boi

this is call drum brake sucks
next time u buy car..be sure to check the car have rear disc brake or not
pay a little for future peace of mind

haha.. nak beli Subaru WRX tak mampu mar.. even nak beli EVO 7 also tak mampu... so we put the Racing Spec to Normal Car.. Baru ada feeling..

AUTO SOME MORE! jhahaha...

regarding the drum brake issue.. im thinking to just upgrade to disk brake.. like you said peace of mind..

any disk brake can put in our saga.. and how much roughly the cost?

can..its possible
consider expensive...RM800 for everything if not wrong...i saw that last time

RM800 is not that expensive actually, cheaper than I thought.

That said, someone commented in my blog that changing to disc brakes will require JPJ inspection and approval.

oh really? i thought when we want to upgrade our engine.. than only disk brake is require?

RM800 for the safety and coolness and also no hassle to think about it...

Well for one, my drumbrakes are quiet now, so I am a happy camper for now.

Maybe they have done some improvements to their production line.

but i will not changing disbrake so soon also..

nak pergi melawat COE juga.. hehe at least claim warranty disk brake dulu.. finish warranty belakang kira.
