Default ITR 5 lug conversion...... can it be done on a EF?

I was reading the topic about the ITR 5 lug conversion for the EG(92-95) civics but
nobody talked about doing it to the EF.

Has anyone ever seen it on a EF ? what parts can I use for the ITR & mate it w/ chassis parts of the EG?

THANKS

are you going for the JDM look or something, this seems like a ricey mod. I'm sure 5 lugs are better than 4 but is it worth the cost on a car as light and small as ours.

I'm acutally trying to make my car look different.... every one has GSR, & Si rims on there ride as well as 16-17 rims.

I however like 15s but don't want to roll on what everyone has. I know it's probaly going to cost over 3,000.....
-but I just want the ITR rims to fit
-I'm not looking for stronger braking and handling,

he did it the right way.

btw, it's not "ricey", it's worth it IF you actually race, unlike so many people here, i actually do TRACK. not drag racing. but the brakes are great.

true rice it word that get throw around alot these days..but with good reason

that damm Rice rag Super Street is brainwashing all these redneck rice boys from the "import showoff" type crowd to come over to the dark side of Jay-dee-mmm...so when someone start randomly asking about very expensive JDM related modification that out cost the performace advantage..of couse someone could suspect a rice boy...no offence

IMO..if you do it is just to showoff... admit it...don't feed us that "I go to lapping days therefore I am a real racecar driver"attitude. No offense but I wonder at what level of racing you are involved in that this modification would be a nessesary for your 14-11 year old chassis..for 3 grand you could make you car faster and handle much better

He said he wants to do it so he can be different and fit ITR rims. I can respect that, my friend is getting new rims for his ITR and I would love to put his stock rims on my CRX. I am just not willing to convert to 5-lug to do it though.

Everyone calls this rice or that rice. JDM is cool, JDM is rice. Everyone has different tastes. That is why there are so many different cars and different aftermarket products for cars. I see cars almost daily that can be classified as "rice" and if I am with someone I may even say something about not liking it. But, I would not say something to the owner of the car. People will do what they want and like to their cars. It makes them happy, and that is all that really matters. What I do to my car is what I want to do, not what others think I should do.
Sorry for the rant, just kinda in a weird mood tonight.

it is easy... just use the ITR spindles and Trailing arms and get 94+ integra outer tie rod ends.

Actually, it is kinda for show only. Why?

The stock brakes are more than capable of bringing a 2200lb CRX to a stop under 130feet from 60. Want proof? go to the competition forum and ask any of the ITA CRX owners what kind of brakes they run on their nationally competition CRXs.

Granted, I do run bigger rotors... i could have done quite well with the stock 9.5" rotors.

so, no, 5lug conversion is really pointless.... adds unneccessary weight. Is it different? sure is on a CRX.

what do you mean... acura dosen't sell just the spindle.. you have to purchas the entire thing.
If it's really easy like you say give me a list of parts and I'll go and do it. (if everything souds like it'll work.
what about the 94+ intergra tie rods.... can you even use in on the EF chassis??
