    as for removing the mechanism... my opinion is that it's always better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. you never know, maybe you'll need the thing in the future.

    Don't modify anything in your ride that isn't Factory spec anymore. you'll just ruin it.

    Agree.

    But most of those who "modify" their 1st gen CRV's 4WD capabilty are those whose mechanisms are faulty already for one reason or another, and they don't want to shell out tens of thousands of pesos just to repair it.

    Para sa kanila, basta tumakbo yung sasakyan, o basta magamit nila yung sasakyan, ayos na - - tutal luma na rin naman
