4 lug conversion ?
#1
Newbie here.
I have a 81 and wanting to get away from the wicked bolt pattern.
What parts will be needed to convert this thing to the 4 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern or poss. the 5 lug pattern.
I have also seen a post that the miata torson (?) diff. used the 4.30 ratio gears. Can these gears be swapped to my existing third member ?
This needs to be done as cheap as poss.
Thanks in advance.

i know alot of guys find junked gsl-se's and take out the rear-end and front suspension, thatll give you diff gears and your lug pattern. if your looking for actual lug converters, cpracing has some but there prices are kindof a joke, the cheapest i found was like $280 shipped i think

This in the FAQ, btw, but I'll at least give you the link to the website that has exactly what you need.
They prototyped this on my car.

i have some gsl-se front hubs and a gsl-se rear axle for sale, depends where u are at, if its too far from oregon it would be alot for shipping on the axle but the front wouldnt be too bad and its the 4 on 4 1/2 pattern u are looking for.

What else would be needed for the front swap ?
