I thought your car (yes the same one that flies all over the screen) - was for sale? why would you want to do a 5 lug conversion before selling it?

No offense (I'm sure you spent time trying to find that script and making the site), but don't ever post that link again. That script that makes a billion windows pop up is the worst thing ever created. Don't ever post it again, unless you've changed it.. please.

actually, I got two 93 prelude vtec. I was selling my other prelude because I was supposed to join the US Marine. Unfortunately, I did not pass the physical exam. That means I am not qualified to join the marine and so I am no longer selling my prelude. The one I posted on my website is my project car. I baught it from a wrecking yard as parts for my other prelude but I decided to restore it. My website is still up and I will be posting pictures when I start converting it to 5 lugs.

Yeah, that whole 5 million window thing pissed me off too. Screws up the computer.

To answer your question about the 5 lug, you do not need to modify (I don't think you can, anyways) your existing hubs. You can use parts off of the 5th gen..

I have a friend that has swapped in 5th gen parts to convert his 4-lug to 5-lug. Everything fit perfectly, as if it was made for the car. We were all quite suprised. The parts were cheap too.

How much they spend for the parts?
Well I am sure it fits perfectly if you got the money. I want to convert mine without spending too much money. As an engineering student and have access to CNC milling machines at my school. I can easilly re-drill new holes on my wheel hubs and brake rotors. I will post some pictures on my website soon as I start doing this project.
Pictures will be posted at >> http://preludevtec93.tripod.com/pics/5lugs

To my knowledge, the hub assembly pretty much bolted right on, but it is best to ask the man himself. Here is his post on VPC... with pics too!

well , i just want to look different from everybody else. have you seen any 4th gen prelude with 5-lugs? I am really careful about my car and i dont do mods on my engine. i like the way my vtec h22a engine as it is, just stock. oh and I can always borow my dads sportbike honda cbr1100 if want to go really fast..itll do 1/4 mile about 10seconds.
