5 lug conversion all new way

[gloryaccordy]

Best bet would be to get an EX/SE rear knuckle and swap the Prelude hub on it. I would HATE to do all that work w/old hubs, and then have the bearings go bad and have to take it all apart again. But temporarily this would work I guess, and knock out having to find a rear disc swap in one move.

More info plz!!!

Do all what work? The rear swap 5 lug you end up using the bearings from the lude the old way....The same is true so far for using the 5 lug 3.2tl stuff.... But IF I have figured this out like I think I have then you would be still using a newer hub than a 90-93 seeing as how the 3.2tl was available from 96-98 only. BTW- I think I have figured this out even better. I am just trying to post what I have found and is easier than what has been done before. I still even after some mix ups and more have only spent 220 on this and I have a standing credit for other parts at another junkyard... HMMM rear rotors for 5 lug and find some legend calipers twin pot FTW!!!

I may have found a work around for 5 lug rear drum!!!! I have some crv parts laying around and they are 5 lug rear drum. I am gonna do some test fits and mockups soon with this as well.

The BIGGEST brake through (PUN DEFINITELY INTENDED) is that you can DEFINITELY use the 00-01 EX V6 4dr and 2dr CONFIRMED (has to have the stamp on the inside of the knuckle/ spindle that says S5 or R5 or K5) and it bolts directly up and gives you 5 lug and big brake up front.

Sorry I just got a new job and I have not had any time to work much on this. I do have some new pics though and I am gonna work for just a bit on the rears this weekend. The FRONTS ARE COMPLETE AND OPERATIONAL..... I will have this up soon.

U should see what front seats swap into our cars...

Specifically, the 2nd gen CL & TL, and 6th + 7th gen Accords (if u can find them). Might be some money in getting the info :whistle:

[da9b16]

I can answer your questions on the CL stuff already..... I have just finished swapping seat rails on the 99cl seats.... They actually are identical rails..... but the ones I got were heated and electrically adjustable.

I did not have time to do the wiring right now to make it all work so I just swapped the rails..... On the drivers side it is a BIG deal due to having to take the back panel off pull the side material up etc. The CL seat rails actually make the seats sit lower..... But again I did not have diagrams for each car electric to make them work...More to come..

I put 95 EX leather in my old 91 complete front and back leather seats back in 2002 I think or 2003... do a search my car is still on here (my old 91se)... the back was a little bit smaller- maybe 1" on each side....

[gloryaccordy]

Naw I'm thinkin about the 6th gen & later body ones. The 97-99 CL is 75% of a CB... 6th gen Accord/2nd gen TL+CL are somewhat different

2nd gen CL has the best Honda seats I've ever seen and I think they will swap into our cars. Just need confirmation

[da9b16]

Yeah I can check on that on Monday for us.... My 99 CL seats are SUPER NICE too though and they are NOT like the 97-98 cloth seats...

In theory could this be an easier way to upgrade to ROH?

For the fronts YES and a lot less expensive.
The rears if you can find a good junkyard would be a lot less expensive as well. All you need is 2 pieces from 2 other vehicles per side. I have pix on this.

[zack_odom]

moar pix...I would like to see this finished...

[da9b16]

this is a side by side of 4 lug hub from rear drum on left and 5 lug from disc on right...







These have been tested with e brake and function.... Write up still in works.
Oh and for ANY one who asks why??? Cause I can and I used all left over parts from other projects so I think I have 40 bucks invested in going this route. Those ARE the original drum brakes shown with a lude hub and a crv drum outer... All fit like it was meant to go that way.
I can say this too.... Since I have big brake v6 brakes up front my stopping power/ force was already increased with that swap up front. I still have the stuff to convert the rear disc 5 lug but I am considering leaving them like this just for the sake of doing things different.

Sorry about the pic size if you want you can resize. I am sitting in the car on my iPhone posting these.
