proses nak replace dlm mase 3 minggu
x der potong2 mounting
wayering rojak 99%
workmanship mahal skit r
1500+
hallfcut price dlm rm3800
driveshaft kene pegi custom
4wd gearbox tak boleh pakai
lock ratio
60% rear
40% front
rugi 60%
so need to buy other gearbox
for pickup use 1.6 gearbox
best 1.6 b6 lsd
tapi susah dapat n mahal
or can use 1.6 b6 without lsd
tapi kalo main topspeed kurang skit r
long distance makan minyak
sbb kia sephia n spectra
body berat sgt
kalo nak long distance n jimat minyak pakai
gearbox 1.8

x der problem lepas pakai
aku bli halfcut b8 baru jalan 11000km
so cantik lagi
just servis jer la

hi xmavel...

U just bringing the engine without ECU/gearbox??
That's mean, need to separately looking out for Gearbox,driveshaft,??

Satu lagi, mana bulih dpt baikkkk punye halfcut B8??
Tlg wei, my car always spoil my day....
always thinking when to drive with fully satisfaction....

     

xmavel

aku wat enjin kat kL la....
wokshop tu skali dgn halfcut
B8 tak der jual enjin saje
so gearbox 4wd tu simpan je la
yup aku bli gearbox lain
gearbox astina 1.8
rm1000+
driveshaf custom x ingat baper aku wat
dah lama sgt
aku buat awal tahun 2006

nak dapat halfcut baik punya??
tak tahu r...
b8 enjin lama so susah sikit
bergantung pada halfcut
aku dapat halfcut belting,cluch plate semua cantik lagi
so untung r

jhan you custom bolt on turbo right ?
Total cost how much you spend ?
Turbo + injectors +piston ? + intercooler + ?? ??? + extrator....
