That rocker cover gasket just a normal rubber bro, how a rubber can withstand heat + engine oil (oil normally is killer for rubber seal) for long time?
Some said dun rev too much, but after they took out the cover, i can't imagine any way to prevent engine oil from being spray in that area, no way...

So it just matter of time, normally 40-60k will start to leak, but ur 9k could be manufacturing defect.

CVT is good enuff for genting, in fact CVT is the best gearbox to use for hill climbs.

Manual depends on your skills.

4AT....might feel underpowered.

Might only.....MIGHT 

just now i go test drive flx 1.6 se used car, the previous owner got modify the front disc brake.. (macam for 2.0cc car one),

any sifu here know if possible to change back ori one? and how much would it cost? (part + workmanship)

the mileage clock at 30k++ i suspect they sudah adjust... can't believe it   

quite happy with the car, throttle response very well and power kuat gile.. (slowly press the pedal and once rpm reach 3k, floor the pedal... wow, shoik nyeee  ) sibeh impress ahhhh sorry ahhh. i first time drive CVT P1 ... hahaha
p/s: the previous owner already change the front exhaust manifold and cam pulley, might be this reason the throttle so light....

Disc brake tak secengkam drum brake, all those drum brake tak makan is psychology. Ada orang sengaja modify S14 to drum brake for drift purpose. Disc brake GAYA is the truth, most people after installed disc brake belakang suddenly their brake peformance naik taraf because they felt good looking at it and BELIEVE its better to have disc brakes.

For your information, if caliper punya piston oil seal keras, jam brake happened very often. Most of the time brake's wear & tear not balance both side. In the long run, if you not regularly service both side of the brakes, change brake pads, service caliper, you get more buang belakang. For drum brakes, when brake tak balance, all the mech do is adjust the side yang tak ketat.

You may debate say why all standard vehicle came with front disc brakes(atleast all modern private cars) kalau tak cengkam? The reason is, disc brake allowed room for correction during emergency brake(tak jam brake like drum), also easier for ABS integration. Your brake servo got a brake fluid distribution that is specifically designed for your car to send 70% fluid to the front brake and 30% to the back. That is why you felt disc brake is more cengkam.

In short, if your car came with rear drum brakes, its not a bad thing(provided the R&D has properly refine the weight/brake distribution). If you have a Persoga drum brake, change rear disc brake is not a major issue because you may "import" the brake cable as well. If you're GaGa.... what car's brake cable are we supposed to take? Don't be surprise you car no henbrek after modified to disc brake

Btw, the famous Apul Garage is clever enough to ADD a dish ON the drum brake hub, make an extra mounting for the caliper to made up your rear disc brake for GaGa. So you can continue to use the original henbrek cable. Therefore, Apul Garage new GaGa's rear disc brake modification is DUAL BRAKES at the back. When you step on pedal, pakei disc brake, when tarek henbrek, drum brake pakei Latest update is RM800 all in. Original drum need to trade in.

Hope this clarifies

Partially agreed...but... You forgot to say:

1) rear disc brake if cable loosen gotta tighten cable
2) drum brake can adjust back the brake level if brake pad nipis, but you'll have to bear with the reduced performance with disc brakes
3) if brake cylinder rosak, tukar 1 bijik+labor RM60, whereas caliper service kit is RM25 + labor RM35... abang adik. Drum brake less work, take out and replace, disc brake need to dismantle everything and put everything back together again.

I'm also a rear disc brake worshiper. But not till the extend of spending money on something LESS effective than the stock setups.

p/s: NOT denying disc brake is better, just not comfortable in modifying disc brakes to the originally equipped drum brakes

can change drum brake to disk brake ah?
anybody done it?

any1 do firewall sound proof? how much kena?

dares Mahihi

untungla..
