Yeah but if you had the etra money laying around and needed a car to through it at it would make pretty sweet mod.
Hubs + Diff + Axles + $2,468.27 U.S. Plus shipping and what ever import taxes there are |
The guru kit is not 4x110 though. it's 4x114.5
|
So its a bolt pattern change for us non-SE owners anyway. I'm in canada too, so add canadian exchange on there, plus import taxes on abou $3000 of parts ($150 for a set of wheels costing $500), and its somewhere in the region of $3500 plus shipping.

LA is the place for almost free parts!!!
OK, boys and girls. Here's another update. This morning, after I dropped off my RX-3 to the body shop, I went to the junkyard which is just a block away. Walked in...dang motherfucker, its 50% off today and for the entire weekend.
Went back to that KIA, but it was gone. So I went walking, like I was walking in the park, breaking things and putting little things in my pocket. Found several FB's but the only thing I grabbed was a clean ass under the rad oil cooler along wit hoses and distributor. Anyways, on my way back to the front, I found the same KIA SPORTAGE 4X4 (I guess they just moved it since its almost gutted) Took me about 1/2 hour to take the rear diffy. Counted the gears, its 9 x 43 = 4.77 and ITS NOT LSD. fuck but hey, its 50%. Then I threw it in my big ass FELIX THE CAT toolbag and went back to another FB (GSL with no 3rd member). I tried to install but I didnt fit. So I spent another 1/2 separating the KIA 3rd member since I only need the ring and pinion At any rate, since its 50% off, I only spent $42 for the KIA 4.77 ring and pinion plus oil cooler. Here's the pix. Left is KIA while right is a ring from a 84 GS. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...r/DSC06321.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...r/DSC06323.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...r/DSC06324.jpg |
^^^You got a KILLER deal.
Please throw a little advice my way on the diy thread if you get the chance. |
I will talk to my my other cousin since I never done diffy and see if I can do a "how-to."
Im only going to use the ring and pinion to keep the LSD. 4.44 in the FB and 4.77 in the RX-3. |

I imagine many people will be swapping gears over the next few months. |
LOL dam straight.... But I have to keep my LSD and I am not mechaniclay inclined enough to open up the rear end, and just do the ring and pinion... Is there a LSD 4.77 that just bolts right up, or a 4.44 that I can find in a scrap yard?

its was 84-85 GSL. For some reason it wont slide in. Maybe Im jut tired since I been up for 2 days with no sleep. I will be going back on Sunday. Hopefully, the 3rd member casing is still there. |
Damn good deal there. The junkyard here won't even let a 2nd gen leading coil and ignitor go for anything less than $80 CND. Hopefully I can find a R&P to put onto my LSD rear end to complement my engine.

then maybe the rear is not a straight swap. I will check it out again.

Please do that write up Wacky, I'm rebuilding an SE rear end now and am interested in this upgrade while I've got it out.
A guide on removing and replacing the ring and pinion would be invaluable, is ther any traps ie: angle, clutches, spacers.... |
can someone tell me more about the b2600 4x4 thing, cause i know where there are 2 ranger 4x4's of that exact vintage that i could get probably anything i wanted from.
i'd like some 4.44 lovin to go with the new 13b and lsd, it'll be much faster than the last time i drove it... 12a and 3.9 open. edit: actually the last time i drove it was about half a 12a... stupid motor blew 180 miles from home and i had to get back home so i drove it.... man that that suck ass. |
