Thanks for the info guys - still debating in my head if I want to go OE or aftermarket on the LCA's. Unless I find used, I cant seem to locate OE Si LCA's.

As for the camber adjusters, I'm kinda limited if I want to stay legal in SCCA, but thanks for the link to Kiwi's stuff, looks good. We'll see if I actually need the front adjustment.

In regards to parts, it is getting ridiculous, at least VW and American guys have people still producing replacement parts (various quality), but at least they have them. Too bad someone couldnt have picked up the dies from Honda to repop parts - now you just have to be creative to refurbish pieces you have.

I would likt to replace my outer window scrapers, but cant find replacements - I may just use plastidip to Fill the cracking outer layer.

In a way Honda is smart not to keep producing parts for old Honda's, so people keep buying new Honda's...but in a way they seem selfish in not helping their customers with producing parts still for old cars.

I guess there is not enough demand to keep producing old Honda parts.

Robb, we should be able to find quite a few NOS Honda parts at warehouses in Europe and down under. There's a guy here, french guy I think, that has a 1G and a 2G that he keeps managing to find new rare parts for from Honda.

Any of you remember Panducky and Project Blues Clues?
Well, I bought the dash (cover) from it and promptly put it in storage.

PS - HOnda not producing the parts is selfish. It doesnt stop people from buying newer honda's, hell I've bought a bunch over the years. If anything you keep your cult following and die hard fans

most of the tooling for a lot of the small stuff they aren't selling has probably been destroyed for 15 years or more....

I think it would be out of budget for most people; I'm positive that it cost $1000+ to have it all made, how much more I don't know (but when Hocker first listed it, he wanted $1300).

damn sexy sweed, you need to start sending us parts in that case.

Gents - I made a find today while going through some old paperwork - a 1992 Han Motoring Wheel catalog! LOL, if you were in So Cal back in the day, Han was one of the bigger shops - so if you're trying to see what was available here in So Cal specifically for 91-92, I'll scan it and get it posted.

Maybe, but they're always so useless on the phone and not particularly cooperative. I'm sure if you found someone who wasn't lazy and ridiculous it would possible to find parts.

So I have been looking at wings for my hatch...
All of these wings i see look like they have horrible fitment and look "meh" at best.

I am considering trying to customize my stock one.

I want a "race" inspired wing (I do plan on some track time at Larry Miller in Utah), maybe something aluminimum?

Or just a good ole' fashioned JDM wing?

What do you guys think?

Live sports

go to jdmland.com which is ICB motorsport they sell em for 499+ shipping. One of the best lookin wings for the hatch IMO.

I still like the J's racing as well but its played out to **** now.

Sounds like a personal problem your physician should examine.

LOL, thanks for that... Maybe its the angle, but the wing seems to be made of some really thick foam?

Actually - ask Nick - he does functional stuff including wings, I'm not quite at that level yet...
