Hello,

Question for you all - I've got my TN magna, does anyone see any problems with me getting a set of TE (or later) hubs and bolting them on. Also will need the brake bits from it aswell. Then I'll have better brakes as well as the 5 stud pattern.

I'm also waiting to find out more, in NZ they had the V3000 (our TM-TP) slightly different, but ugly body styling but it came with the 6g72 engine. Hopefully I can get the mounts from there and bolt her in :)

If you do a hub conversion you will need the front and rear changed - not only the front.

I cannot see y you can't do it??

As for the engine conversion - hmmm - good luck on that one!!

You might also need to check that the wheels don't stick too far out of the guards as well....I think there's some rule/law about it???

Yes your wheels have to remain within the guards

i like that idea. i'd love to get 5 stud wheels on my beast (it's so hard to find good, big 4 studs).
From my understanding u would need to change the brake master cyclinder too wouldn't u???

if u find out anymore info on doing this let me know will u.
