Something tells me theres a writeup for it somewhere but i cant seem to find it. I have a 86 sport and my buddy (gofastitsfun34) has a 88 base and were intrested in converting his car to 5 lug when we put the lsd in his car. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

i dont think ive ever seen a 5 lug swap write up... here anyways. the swap itself is very strait forward and easy... if you can wait a little bit, im in the process of a brake/5 lug swap (the swap is already done, im just waiting on brake parts) but i can pull the parts off and do a mini write up... itll take me less than a few minutes and shouldnt be a problem.

 

I'd be interested in that too.

 

LOOK DOWN!..there are threads BELOW!..on Related Subjects...\/ ..down there!

^ Thats a pretty good writeup. It's a pretty straight forward swap so pictures are not critical.

 

thats true... but pictues do help no matter how simple the job.

 

Im counting on you...im doing the same project.

 

Except your avatar pic...I can't ever figure out how I got upside down...

 

you look like me or something?


btw... the rear calipers were ordered today and should be in on monday... depending on the weather, i should be shooting some pics on tuesday.

 

just a recomendation from someone who has done the full 5 lug swap, i'd swap in the larger brake booster. many people think you don't need it but mazda thinks we do so i swapped it too

 

Nope I just assume yours is right side up.

 

oh... right... fu kk alcohol...

 

I have a gsl-se 4 x 114.3 and want to go 5 lug.
Because the fb has a different strut assembly, swapping a 5 lug strut won't work, right?
Anyone done a five lug conversion on the gsl-se?

I will search as well, cliff

 

check the 1st gen sections...

 

that link is dead. how did this thread end? did anyone eventually do the write up?

 

ITS ALIVE..yeah swap front hubs....swap rear end...write up over

 

done
