I have a 04 5 speed Elantra hatch that I am working on to get her up to a better condition than she is now. She only has 111 thousand K's on the clock and just replaced a cracked radiator gave it an oil change, coolant, spark plugs and air filter to day tommorw will be inspecting the brakes. Anyway Hello Oh and one question that I admit I havent researched is can you replace the 4 stud wheel patern to 5 stud? it seems there are more wheel types available for 5 stud here in AUS. cheers -------------------- A proud member of the club.

I guess the issue with finding double DIN there would relate to right hand drive? -------------------- '13 Mazda CX-5 Sport/LSM/MT ~ '05 Sterling GT - wife's sled

No kits just a hub swap is what I was looking at. -------------------- A proud member of the club.

Swap the spindle from a GK aTiburon. Thanks BRC that helps, is there any other mods required apart from hub and brake rotor? Or will it just bolt on, i am having a problem finding the info I need. I want to update from steel stockies to mags but the choice is limited here unless I pay a fortune so was thinking go 5 stud which opens up a whole lot of options.
