OK so I have the 2.4 6 ready to go. Now I need to think about whether I go with 5 lug conversion. I know trekkor has done fine with 4 lug on his six. I will likely just use the car for AX and occasional TT event.
I like the idea of keeping my lightweight 4 lug setup which would include my 8" wheels. But should I just bite the bullet and go with 5 lug for better brakes etc? |

I had a spread sheet somewhere listing the parts & costs
of my original swap. I went whole hog with all the shittage front to rear.....Dirk Wright had nuthin on me (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) I quit adding up costs soon thereafter (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) As a data point: I'm working off my shakey memory here, IIRC, the motor swap with goodies totaled about 6500. The rest of the stuff (a 2 page single spaced list) brought that total to nearly14000. (not including the cost of the car) So.... I dumped that into the car in the year that it took me to do the conversion. I sold 6k worth of parts to offset some of that. I have no advice on this.
