Tempting:5 lug conversion

[swollen_cu]

Hey guys I went to my local pull-a-part this morning and iIfound a 00 v6 sedan that was hit in the front. All the suspension parts are still there and I was debating on taking all the parts off, and switching to 5 lug.

I have a 2002 EX sedan with rear disc brakes, so iIwont have to take of too much stuff from the rear, just the knuckles. Also, pull-a-part sells this stuff for dirt cheap.

Brake calipers- 17$
Knuckles(spindles x4) - $72

Grand Total- $89 plus tax!

Killer deal..., but i just bought brand new wheels for the 4 banger.. ahhh decisions decisions...

yes or no guys?

i'd say no, it's a waste of money. save the 89 dollars for something else. take your girlfriend out to a nice dinner.

you just bought the wheels.. but i dont know.. 89 bucks is a steal.. and if you can do the work yourself.. hmmm i'd say go for it actually even though i voted no

i say go for it..save the parts for next time when you want to get it done....parts like that doesnt come that ez at that price,,,,,soo get it and have it store in a place...

lol, yea, or if you wouldnt have even started this thread, you couldve at least bought them, and resold them on here and make some money, haha.

Well im a mechanic, so i can do the work myself. fairly simple.

And I'll probably go pull off all those parts and save it, or if not, post it up on the forums for sale.

its def a good deal on the parts. like you said, you could just save em...that way you could also use your wheels you just got for a little too, if you wanted to. or you could just sell the wheels, still new, and buy 5 lug ones.

^ my plan andy. sell the rims and keep the tires. but we will see when the time comes closer.

 

[LitoCG2Rider]

time come closer??

shiet it is closer....stop wasteing time and get it..LMAO

For that price, either do the 5-lug conversion or buy the parts just to resell for a profit.
