1. no, s2k 5 lug won't bolt up to your del sol. completely different chassis,not to mention fwd vs rwd
2. itr 5 lug conversions do not go for 3grand. i sold mine for 900

i know they are a different chassis, but the ITR is hard to find plus expensive.

i thought the S2K hubs, and brakes would be better for high HP. but i guess that wont work.

oh well

thanks for the info

I've heard of people doing a 4/5th gen prelude knuckle swap. Cheaper than going ITR. Might need to do some research on that one. If you don't mind me asking, why do you need 5 lug? Aside from balla status, Several of my friends have k20 swaps (one boosted) and they're still on the 4x100 civic/teg knuckles with no problems. If you're looking for improved braking, why not just go for a big brake upgrade on your existing, it will probably be cheaper bc after you calculate labor, parts, and having to do an alignment if you swap the knuckles. Good luck with your project.

cause i want to convert my Del Sol in to a tiny S2k with the taillights, and 98 spec ITR rims look sick as FU*( i think, and repaint my del sol Carnival Yellow (same yellow as ITR just cheaper)

BTW if you didnt read my intro i have a ITR B18c in a Del Sol, i pull on some of the early S2ks in my home town so i am happy with my car.

cause i'm paying for school to be a Diesel Mechanic, at the local College, and i am poor, my del sol is paid off so i dont have to worry about the car payment, and i think Targa top is cooler than Convertiable.

NSX
Porsche
Corvette
Del Sol
Supra
ETC

all Targa

just save your money. don't spend anything except maintenance on your del sol. Trust me. In a few years, you'll be able to pick up an S2000 for almost the same amount of money your gonna spend right now. Plus, if you try and sell a modified Del Sol, its going to be extremely hard.
