    Re: Rotor Question

    yeah thats what i seen well i said i to close this thread but ok and heres the reason its kinda stupid but here goes i didnt want extra lug holes on the rim i was lookn for something with 4 lugs but not the rim that i wanted so i was like hey why not ask if they know and a simple no would of been better instead of making a paragraph and saying fucking noob cause you know one day we wont be noobs and im not into rotors so i wouldnt know shit lol even sizes ive been reading forums that 4x100 and best rim size for the accord is 13 or 14's. im new to this stuff man i just got the accord like last year in march but didnt drive till late july so i only know tune ups how to do fuel pump changes wiring and thats it man im working on my car every weekend to see what would make it turn on with one turn to the starter and without holding the clutch to turn the car on and its working fine since so if the car gives me a problem ill fix it but recently i had no problems but one and i already know what it is. and sorry for writing this huge ass post but just by replying a negative post will only make people leave the forum or piss people off ....like me i dont care im still learning but i know what im doing and my car is running better then when i got her....so im happy

    if you came in asking things like ok i have reasrched this this and this hub wich one do you think is the best way then you might get a better answer. lazzyness shouldnt be rewarded
    I spend lots of my time searching this site and reading old threads. You by far are one of the worst members here in regards to your atitude. I see people ask questions all the time that i believe to be very trivial however i do not increse my post count by bashing other people. But this one time I have to step outside and surcome to your level as it seems that only when someone is speaking on your level that you listen or remotely pay attention.

    you dont have a 3g GTFO.... fuckin noob.

    Please dont let the few here that are open assholes shun you away from the accord or this site. Those few are one of the reasons this site has suffered over the years.

    Personally i think a 5 lug swap would be unique. We drive old and forgotten cars. Its nice to see new idea's spring up.

    here is a possible combination.

    accord 88-89 knuckle, jdm acura integra 5 lug hub and bearing pressed into the knuckle. Change the outer cv joint from the accord to the integra outer cv joint. (i remember reading somewhere or it was a question at one point that the jdm 5 lug teg had a thicker axle IE had a 37mm axle nut) for brakes run the acura integra GSR brake caliper and the acura legend 5 lug 11'' front brake rotor.

    I imagine that there is a possble swap for the rear but im not sure on a combination. However i would start with the teg 5 lug rear hub as a research option.

    and nope i dont own a 3g, but i have owned a few, and researched them, hunted rare and uncomen parts for them, check the member status alot of the guys on here with real info DONT own a 3g. not to mention one of my best buds owns a 3g se-i coupe that was totaled that we have been putting ALOT of man hours into rebuilding

    also as a member from around the time i joined you should know that just about any noob gets bashed, i know i did when i joined, ask a stupid question get bashed it teaches you to do a few things for yourself, this turns some people away but obviously they dont care about finding the answers. seems now alot of people want to babystep newbies threw everything..

    was i a bit to hard on him? possibley.. some of it was actuly jokeingly but its w/e

    we all have learned from others on this board. that isnt what i am upset about. The OP had a question, most said it was a stupid idea and called him a noob for it. it was a legitimate question and most did nothing to help.

    my point is without the question the world would still be flat, the sun revolves around the earth. and man never went tothe moon (which to some is still under debate)

    You help the new guys all the time. I read a thread yesterday where Nio thanked you for your help. He was getting flamed pretty bad and you put out the fire. i think you are pretty good at defending "noobs""

    you are correct we have been around for a while, not the oldest, but for a while. That post was to simply show you how you are speaking to other members here on the board lately. Was it crude yes, unconventional.. definately. But your calm and colective reply show that you are within reason

    I didnt intend to give the impression that you made anyone leave. just showing that atitudes like that will make people leave. But we all know people that have made other members leave.

    my point exactly, faux-five lug... even if it had five lug it's not a hard swap...

    you would just need to change the ends of your axles to accept a 5 lug hub, (32 spline i believe? stock accord shit may even work who knows) machine the hub to fit in your spindle or machine the hub to accept the bearing, and then run whatever calipers fit your disk. there would just be no point since i don't think the brake upgrade you would normally get on a civic would really apply since the accord has a larger front anyway, it would be a gain but not worth the trouble, at least you could run 5 lug itr wheels huh?

    Re: Rotor Question

    Have any of you even bothered to look at the wheel bearing listings? That's how I found out about the 2g Prelude bearing/flange into 2g accord spindle conversion. I posted the entire chart up in the 2G FA-Q. Did anyone bother reading?

    I've also got a complete rebuilders application and spec guide for CV axles. For everything. Spline specs, length specs, application, and model number. I guess I could post it too, but eh, why bother? Think anyone would bother reading it? Doubt it. Everyone wants to whore B-swap threads, but nobody wants to do homework like I did.

    Now go buy your hubcaps and leave me alone.
