questions about a 4 lug

never dealt with having a base 4 lug model and i know the search button is efficient as well but this way is much easier...

4 lug rims are 14's right.. what is the 4 lug bolt pattern so i can get a set of 15's cause i have amazing tires right now and i don't really want to get rid of them

when it comes down to brakes and rotors where can i get a set of cross drilled and slotted

also...
this one really has nothing to do with body style but a t2 tranny should bolt up to a na motor right? aren't the motors the same exact side

Fc's 4 lugs are 4x114.3

I can guarantee this because I have Nissan 280z wheels on my car.

Edit: If you want really cheap wheels for your 4 lug that are 15 in. Go to the junk yard and get a stock set of 240sx wheels.

Not many hondas are 4x114.3 most are 4x100. If you want really light you would have to have some cashflow. I know that if you want decent light in that pattern and a decent offset buy some sportmax/xxr 002's. I have 14s on mine and they are 7 inches wide with a -10 offset, and the fit fairly well but stick out maybe an inch on stock front fenders. Most 002 style rims are 15/16 x8 with a 0 offset so they should fit fairly well.

Stance GR+. With that said you would have to save up like 1,000 dollars for a good used set. I personally don't have any experience with coilovers, but I know some stuff about them.

Motors are the same size... flywheel is not.

To use the Turbo tranny on a non turbo car, you need to use the Turbo flywheel (with the correct counterweight for the series engine) and the Turbo starter, Turbo tranny brace/mount and the Turbo clutch slave and either a custom drive shaft or a Turbo drive shaft and Turbo rear end.

DKwasheredx or whatever his name is is using an na rear end with a TII driveshaft. You just have to modify the holes in the driveshaft where the diff bolts up.

He did a write-up in the drifting section.

as covered in multiple threads today...

Using a Turbo drive shaft to a non turbo rear end, will require either changing the flange, drilling the flange or using a custom drive shaft.

Since this guy has not yet done enough searching and research to even see how to use a turbo transmission, the idea of telling him to change the differentials flange or drill the flange seemed a bit out of his league.

Kinda like if you can't search, you probably can't drill 4 perfectly balanced and offset holes, or set the pre-tension of the flange and pinion.

45 minutes north on 87. Orange county. You should come out to our rotary meets at orange county choppers next year.

PM me any questions about that potential s4 t2 swap.

Want to confirm

So you need to use a Front counterweight that goes with the flywheel? Im going to be putting a S4 n/a engine into my car that has a S4 T2 tranny so i need the T2 flywheel and the T2 front counterweight? Just making sure here. Thanks and sorry for jackin the thread.

XXR/Sportmax are HEAVY. At least in the rim sizes that I've seen and gotten "accurate" weights for. The 006's are 25 lbs per rim. A comparable 17x8 rims is ~ 18 lbs and that's not even "lite". So 25/18 = 138%, so you're saying that a rim that is 138% heavier is still decent lite? You should really get your **** strait before posting, mmmmkay?

****, after everything that I've built and fabbed and cut and had lay dead nuts on, and owning a drill press, I wouldn't even drill the flange. I'd take it to a machine shop or buy a new flange. Think about the vibes that a slightly out of place driveshaft would create. The only way I would do it would be if the inner lips met perfectly allowing me to clamp the driveshaft and the pinion together perfectly centered and drill it out. Other than that, **** that noise.

Counterweights are matched to the series. S4 motor, S4 counterweight. There is no need to alter the front counterweight, only the rear and this is for aftermarket flywheels. Factory flywheels have the counterweight built into them. If your motor is S4 and your tranny TII, than you need a stock S4 TII flywheel or an S4 rear counterweight and the aftrmkt flywheel of your choice
