Before you say it....
Yes I know it has been done. Though it was no help to any of us, I don't believe. Yes, I have seen the thread about it. I've even posted on it. However, instead of resurrecting it constantly I figured I'd just ask my questions in a thread all of my own. That way I can construct my theory... It's about axles. Well right now it is at least. I'm almost positive there'll be a "Captain Obvious" but these are questions for my growth of knowledge. This is for 6 speeds of fun, no "auto-tragic"
The outer spline count of the Acura CL-TypeS and our CBs is 28. The same. The inners aren't which is fine considering the swap. Pics help so let me post them. You can run 4-Lug but 5 is better, IMO, length is the issue or maybe it isn't. The length of the CL axle compressed is 26.5" or 25" (other site) and the Accord is 23 7/16" or 24" (other site) Does that length REALLY make all the difference in regards to custom axles? I don't know if it matters but the CB7 wheel base is 107" and the CL is 106.9" Running CL or 99EX hubs (5lug).
