i would have paid 200 to get my car back on the road and completely wiped out my bank account, but to spend another 100 on a part that i do not need at the moment seamed ludicrous. at least i have a small amount of cash left.

Excellent, that's a great result!

My local Honda dealer have found 1 of what I'm after as dead stock in a dealer in France somewhere. Because it's dead stock they can't order it from another country through the parts chain though and as they don't speak French so it's down to me to ring them and try to mail order buy it :D

Cheers for the spot, I've fitted the new arm but also noticed that the bushes on the top of the arm on the other side have gone too, so the hunt for new cheaper bushes continue.

Whilst i had the car up on stands i fitted some mgzt 17" straights. The front ones have brand new uniroyal rainsport2's.

a few weeks ago i had some lg stickers made by a guy on eBay, featuring my lude cut out in vinyl from a photo scanned and then graffiti text added.

I know its not much cheeper than the eBay listing but super flex sell them direct for <£93 for both sides.

I replaced the upper ball joints for around £25 each using blueprint parts iirc.

The only other option I can think of is to use polyurethane to fill them. Love your car BTW. :geek:
