    4 to 5 lug axle conversion

    Hey guys, just looking for some words of wisdom here. I'd like to convert over to a 5 lug and would also like to upgrade from rear drums. I've found a site where I can get 5 lug hub assemblies at an extremely good price and am wondering what else I would need to get that done...

    Protege Noob winter tire question ...

    I think those would likely rub. There's the tire recipe thread at the top to check though. Also if say to put one tire on and check before selling them, I'm fairly el cheapie when it comes to tires too, I get decent tires but waste not want not

    Protege HO alt

    Thanks, I've checked out the maniac one already, it's only a 140amp whereas the mechman would've been a 220 amp. Also been in contact with one of Ssa's reps and he said they might have a mechman coming out for the protege in the new year product line.

As far as fwd winter driving, as previously mentioned find a wide open area where you won't hit anything and just learn how your...

    Calgary Winter fun

    Just moved here and gearing up for the fluffy s*** I'm just wondering if there are any good spots for winter fun since I hear the cops are anal as all hell here. Back home the most they do is tell you to pack it in for the night. Also looking for possible hangouts since it'd be nice to start...
