You seem to have access to cool machine tools, just remove your rear hubs and redrill them for 5 lug. Need 2 new stud and some new holes.

Wow, I had no idea the hubs were that cheap to buy new!So the only one that would fit would be the Dura International?

I drew this out and the only thing that I am concerned about is that at least one hole is going to be close to another. Call me paranoid but I would be scared of ruining the integrity of the hub. I am planning on pushing 600+hp to the ground with this car. I would just like to have the piece of mind that nothing is going to fail.

We almost have this awesome piece of equipment almost up and running. Mazak Integrex Mill/Turn lathe with 5 axis abilities. I can't wait to start making more cool sh*t.

This coupled with the faro arm. I am thinking billet front knuckles are in order.

Just put some weld filler in the hole to bridge it.

How close? (12.5* at 57.15 mm radius- I could do the math but...)

Mmmmm. Billet knuckles. Would you want to borrow a clean, unpacked set of non-ABS knuckles to model off of?

Oooh, you could mod the program to make different caliper mountings. Brembo, etc.

When he punches her right in the uterus. This is all I could think of.

Congrats!

Just a note, installing the baby seat in the center position will break most of the stitches in the leather around that location, or at least it did to mine.

Install a temporary new back seat with a flat bottom versus bucket style, or completely repad and upholster what is there. So easy .... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Congratulations and happy to see the happy position you are at in life.

You could always make a billet baby model based off the ultrasound photos .... just saying .....

Congratulation on the new baby!

Check out Slickdeals or even Woot. I was able to score Recaro baby seats for both my kids cheap and just recently on Woot my sons Recaro booster seat. Great seats, easy to remove the fabric and clean too and also top rated for child safety protection.

Congrats!

Careful on the recaro though, bunch of my friends have them and they just did a major recall. It you get one it should not be affected by definitely double check. Anyone who has one already should too.

I had heard about that. We also looking into the Gracos all in ones just for the fact that we wont need to get anything else. I honestly probably wont have a car seat in the galant. I have my lancer to commute around.
