Okay the reason why i didn't use the vr4 GB cause its fucking heavy and will burden your suspension not forgetting its going to burden the mechanic like hell just to take out the GB alone . And then not forgetting its damn fucking big cause its a 4WD GB . U`ll need to lock it anyway . then to make it fit into our car won't be a problem , but the problem is driveshaft , either u need a custom shaft or u need to do some mix and matching shaft joints .
Im using the 1.3 GB cause any mechanic can handle it if i need to open up the gb , then its light , its small , i don't need to go for custom shaft or mix & match shaft , i can use back my standard shaft . So if my driveshaft patah i can just go to any kedai potong which sell's those iswara recond driveshaft for RM 100 per piece . where else if vr4 driveshaft patah , u`ll need to modify it or mix & match , so will take a longer time frame to get ur car fixed and cost more money . If the gearbox pecah , easy go buy a second hand gearbox at kedai potong which will cost about 200 to 300 bucks , no need to modify , just take out the handle jamban and shaft , trust bearings from my old gearbox and then pasang to the new gearbox , then every thing kautim aready .
So hope you get what im trying to say i want stuff to me easy for me , if balik kampung , gb or driveshaft patah , those normal road side mechanic also will know how to handle it . im not the type that like's to play pick up and bakar here & there . Im more to comfortable driving but when some one provokes me , i`ll show what i can do :lol:
Oh by the way , no machining is been done on my gb , just that yersterday the shatf sangkut so have to sent it to machineshop to take the shaft out by using a torch flame . Well when i first converted need to mod abit , cause its a cable type gearbox , need to cut the cable hook and drill a hole and realter the flush jamban handle so that the pump can pump the shaft . Hope u get what i mean
