Hi guys...I'm in far away Malaysia and will be undertaking a GTi conversion on my Syncro after the DJ died... now searching the web to research what items I need. Could I please have a copy of Gary D's instructions too? Probably the 1st & only GTi conversion here on a Syncro (there's only 6 in t...

Both of you can come visit malaysia again on your way to Australia!!! BTW, the shipping agent needs a copy of the carnet that says your van has exited Malaysia to Thailand. Could you snap a picture of it.

TigerBus should have crossed the border to China from Laos yesterday. They will spent 3 months in China. Not much internet connection around that region, waiting for updates from them. Mickyfin, I'm sure they did make some contacts before the trip but mostly they met people along the way. I know the...

Sarah pointing to the map that we're at the southern most tip of Asia IMG_5471.jpg Probably the largest gathering of Syncro in Malaysia! we only have 5 in the country and that's the only Syncro Doka! Well, for a few weeks in March we had 6 :D IMG_5247.jpg There's a Tiger in my garden! IMG_5112.jpg

Here's some pictures of TigerBus in Malaysia. We took them to the southern most tip of mainland Asia and also had some fun green laning with some jeeps.

I guess I'll follow you with the 96 rated 205/70/15 (Goodyear Fontera). My bus is a 9seater so should be lighter than a camper, that is if I don't carry 8 FAT passengers . I'll than buy the set of 14' Bay rims and put some mud tires and switch when I go off road. Thanks TMT!

Thanks for the reply... The 5.5j bay rims got the flower hole in the middle too... Think only the 6j are round. I'll dbl check on the part no. I'm looking back at the 14 as some commercial trucks use the 14 size here and some have aggressive mud patterns. Syncro is currently running a set of 15x7j R...

Hi guys, just to dbl check, are 14 inch steel rims for Bay window the same for Syncro? They look the same but not sure if they have different weight ratings. Thanks!

They managed to get the gear parts shipped from Germany to Turkey, they crossed Iranian border on Sat. They will move on to Pakistan, India and then ship the bus to Malaysia.

Just to update that Tigerbus is about 100km from the Iranian border...all running well so far...

Thanks for reply guys... At lease I know something didn't drop off...

Gave it a yank, quite tight...Here's a side pic... Previous owner says its for diagnostics...???...
