S.o.s
Last resort....deep breath...here we go:
Can anybody PLEEEEASE tell me what i can do about my '90 XX 4WS BA5 hunkajunk?
Many questions, feel free to browse and let me know if u can suggest or answer anything thanks
1. What is the stud offset? many have told me 4x100 many others 4x114 and im really fuggin confused.
2. CAN i put larger rims (and if yes up to what overall diameter and width) on without disrupting 4WS.
3. Apparently at the last tune, the mechanics found the 4th cylinder to be depressurized. they quoted me around NZ$1200 to recon it, and id rather get a SiR vtec engine instead, more power and probably costs the same anyway. Are there any other engines that would Slot right on in? Every mechanic and "honda-expert" around here has to look up serial nubers and dimensions in their handy-dandy notebook and i dont trust someone who has NO idea what theyre talking about.
4. Is there any way to visually and/or mechanically improve this beast without too much hassle? and i mean without doing full-on custom everything. Talked to several aftermarket places here and they all say basically the same thing "BA5's SUCK MAN! THERE ARE NO AFTERMARKET PARTS COZ NOONE DRIVES THOSE OLD BUCKETS ANYMORE" yea u get the drift.
Umm thats about it with my moaning and whinging. Any help, much appreciated. cheers
