Hey Naim,

You can order the yellow box and get the gears from KIA Sportage and i think the ratio is higher. Two guys here have succesfully installed them at honda.

Do you mean from KIA dealership? Does it really fit? No whining?

If true I can also order the 4.44 for 450USD -20% (360USD) and install it at futtaim. Right?

Futtaim (Trading Enterprises) will install it for you.

And yes the 4.44 (need to confirm the ratio with a friend) is actually final drive for KIA sportage front diff. and it is a straight fit. A friend of mine bought it from the dealership and installed it at Honda. Now Honda can take care of the back lash as well.

IMOH, dont install it. You will get sick of it specially on highway, you will be doing 150 kms and already in vtec. it does give you a bit of push on the pickup but top end gets screwed.

I will probably have to rethink the whole thing again.

big time. I know of people removing it after installing it. Revs are higher, speed is lower.
