Bought my first G20 today!!!....what next??

[northwestrally]

After searching for months, I finally bought a P10 (hey, I'm starting to use the lingo already!).

It is a '94 G20 Touring 5spd in pearl white w/perfect black leather. I purchased it fully aware that it has a bad 5th gear (it will drive in fifth if you firmly hold the lever there). It has 98,000 west coast, 2-owner miles.

Anybody have a diagnosis for the 5th gear problem? The other gears & synchros all sound & feel good. I took the car immediately to Aamco to let them toy with the tranny.

More questions..... the car now has 14" MOMO (quasar) rims. What other cars share the same bolt pattern? Honda / VW? I may scan the boneyard for some 15" rims off another car (the best source for good, affordable rims in my opinion).

Your experienced opinions & advice would be appreciated!

You might want to look here: http://www.se-r-list.org/fifth.gear.phtml As I said a few times before, there's a lot of usefule information on se-r.net

Well, no. The G20 has a rather unique bolt pattern. Check this out for more information:

Sounds like you got the same as me, but you got the 't' I beleive the rims are the same size as the 95-98? Honduh Accord, and Honduh Prelude. Im not sure what VW would be the same. Sentra's, 200sx', NX' are different then the G20's.

Congratulations on the car, wise choice

As for wheels anything with a 4x114.3 lug pattern and I think a +42mm to +45mm offset should be fine. And tires should be around 195/55 to 195/60. I think the newer 15" G20 wheels would look pretty good also.

Welcome to the club/boards !!!

oh one more thing, make sure the center bore is big enough also...good luck
