Pretty sure my front left ball joint is buggered. Going to get it fixed when my new Jenesis coilovers go in. Does anyone know where to buy the non genuine front lower control arms from, or just a part # would be great.

Thanks,

J, just walk into any reputable parts store up there like Auto One, or Auto Pro, or maybe Repco and tell them you want the Taiwanese R30 copy lower control arm and it should cost you about $70.00 each, give or take.

You could call

Mekong Auto Spares

42 Canley Vale Rd, CANLEY VALE, NSW

phone: (02) 97240691

And I'm sure they will help you out and post them to you if you cant get them locally, or worst case scenario, drop me a line and I'll buy them & ship them to you.

Cheers, D

What a croc of shit, Poly bushes are a pain in the ass unless you like pulling your suspension apart every couple of months.

J just stay with the lca's as they come.

Yes. Recently my manual got the rattles and was loose nuts, R30 not mine, and a bolt missing.Didn't loctite but will go do that now.

    • Do you think the guys in Penrith are install the E85 Kit?
    • Thanks Pac!   I will reach out to them!
    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
