jj,NSR pads totally worn and heating wheel up, OSR not so bad, but best to replace the pair. Also confirmed that visually the alternators are identical pre and post facelift, both engines are B20A7 auto's re: fefe's issue with his alternator woes.

Most indy garages should be able to do rear pads matey. If your calipers are sticking you'll need to get them rebuilt at some point though.
No pads at all left :( :( :(

So hopeing (fingers crossed) its just that and NOT caliper problem as well - eeeeeeek! :(

Ok

Ref pads
Going to TGM (Fleet) Honda Specialist at 2pm.
£90 all inclusive

Does mean instead of dropping by a Corrado Specialist at noon (Leamington Spa),
Then Birmingham hotel at 3pm ...

...we bypass the Corrado Specialist,
And arrive in Birmingham at 5pm?
Still get to have an Chinese New Year dinner in China town :) :) :)

What are they?

Any pics / prices?
Sorry man, missed this. They're the wheel the Corrado came with:

Handling would be improved, and it looks great too imo:

Here's a set on the bay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/vw-corrado-sp ... 4d2daf2507

In other news, your Lude looks in good company :D

Nice Indigo !

Yeah
I prefer smaller wheels

I think the priority now is getting her on the road.
But will note those speedlines :)


Yup
The Honda specialist seem to be well known amongst Civic/Integra forums :)

No - shamelessly stole the pic from Wikipedia! My mate had one though, Red M Reg and 100% stock - was really good to drive! Still alive, somewhere in Edinburgh now I believe!
