New Rear Anti-Roll Bar Drop Links (HardRace)
been getting a load of rattling from the back of the lude - thought it might be exhaust, then was told it was shocks, then had a look at it myself and it was drop links so got some new uprated ones from Hardrace - got them fitted and rattles are gone - happy days
it has made a big difference as to how i feel about this lude
Thanks to Merlin for helping me get these parts fitted

Re: BB1 Scrapyard Dog
Thanks Drax - its had a load of new parts and work this year
Having said that - there are always seems to be more to do.......
Still outstanding:
New sunroof panel and seal.
1st visit to the bodyshop has not gone well - its take them about 6 weeks to paint the panel silver when ive asked for phantom grey and given them the paint code -ahhhgggg - then they wanted to argue the toss until i showed them the paint code on the door jamb.
They are repainting it but if im not happy with the finish they will be getting a kicking!
Fit new rear upper brace (4ws friendly i hope) got a choice of spoon or tanabe - not sure if the spoon one will clear the 4ws unit int he boot but the tanabe one looks like it will - it should be here in the next couple of days.
Polybush rear suspension arms to be fitted at some point.

Re: BB1 Scrapyard Dog
Oooh! It's red too! I thought they all came silver now?
This would match the front one in my BB4...
I can't find it on Icetronix/CarbonCulture's websites though???
BTW - Ictronix have a jobby load of stuff catalogued for Preludes, which is awesome!
EDIT: Oh, just found it. Not on their website... That really was cheap! No way I could resist that
