triumphrod Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 nope not standard comy 5 speed mine is celica box can you even get the standard commy boxes in 5 speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Yeah you can I've got 2 spare Commy 5 speeds but condition unknown. note - they are designed to go behind the 179 6 cylinder and starfire 4 cylinder and arn't rated for the extra torque of a 202.. That said - I run mine behind a 202.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumphrod Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 hm would be keen to get my hands on a back up gearbox for this old girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Is it the same as the VK 5 speed? Old mans one was a 202 with factory 5 speed, copped a hiding too did that thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Rod I can most probably sell you an entire 202 and 3 x 5 speeds (1 known good - 2 unknown cond) when I convert to 1UZ.. Richy - they are the same I think. I would say its more likely your old mans would have been a 179 - they never came behind 202's AFAIK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Definitely a 202 black motor, 5 speed with reverse left and up (if that makes any difference). Berlina with carb. It also had CNG, which made it's performance average as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 5 speeds did come behind 202s in VKs, I'm pretty sure they used a slightly stronger box than the VH did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triumphrod Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 yeah that will most probaly have been a swap before he had it if not it sounds quite rare yup id be keen on the 202 and boxes defiently but would have trouble getting em to auckland i started a build thread but i dont know how to post pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoozin Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 You gotta host/upload your photos somewhere. So start an account on photobucket, or flickr or maybe imageshack then upload your photos to it. Then it's a simple case of getting the photo link, and typing this code [img=your picture url/link here] Was a factory car, he bought it ex Telecom (he worked there) when it was 4 years old. Research says VK's had an optional 5 speed, Borg Warner M76 apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Beave got my back - Howats be the ones - just don't expect them to be done in a rush as he seems to react badly to people pressuring him. I asked if he could have them done in 3 weeks and he got them done on time and did a really good job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattt Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I should have figured.... I've delta with him briefly before and didn't like his attitude too much but I have heard only good about the work they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 His attitude does get mentioned a lot but I truly believe he just gets exasperated by people coming in and badgering about getting work done faster or people asking the same questions repeatedly. Admittedly - this is part of him owning a business so he should really deal with that kind of shit better. But I found if I don't go in asking dumb questions or telling him how to do his job and not having a hurried expectation of when it will be done then he is pretty sweet to deal with. Not too many other options in Wellington anyhow.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattt Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Yeah at the end of the day its getting the work done right and not for some rediculous price. I should havea a go at it myself considering I work for an engineers as in engineer but honestly at $70 a pop I really cant be bothered.
