Wow. What a great build/restoration

Cheers nitin. I can hardly believe how much work it's been tbh. I had a look back over the thread recently myself.
Still plenty left I want to do.

@TitzonToast They say they have two in stock https://ba4-shop.de/index.php/produkt/e ... -bb-92-01/

I owe you one, Merlin. My fourth order from an eBay seller actually landed today and it was the wrong bolt completely.

I just ordered from the site you recommended. I also managed to get a 4ws arm too. They only had the one.

Thanks very much for the replies, lads. I ended up going straight for the nuclear option with the rear arches. They were too far gone to repair. I found patch panels online and bought them. I'm not gonna put them in my myself though, that's way above my pay grade.

I am so far behind on this thread, only just starting to catch up now...
Where did you find the inner arches? I don't think I've ever seen those available anywhere before!

I found them on eBay!

Well, I got everything back together and got the car tracked. It goes as straight as an arrow and feels good except for the horrible vibration I was getting from the front drivers side.

Mmm. It's proving to be a bit of a nightmare to find one to buy anywhere. If some kind soul could help me out I'd be very grateful.
The OEM number is 44310-S30-900.
Does anyone know if any other Honda models have the same inner CV joint perhaps please?

I found one from an Accord type R but it doesn't look quite the same, it says it's compatible with a 4th 2.3 and a 2.0.

Hey, check out NTY Joint Kit, drive shaft in the AUTODOC app https://m.autodoc.be/nty/15070685

Well, this could be the find of the century. https://www.ebay.ie/itm/394736159718

I contacted the seller to see what's what.
Has anybody got any thoughts on these please?

I haven't seen Surtrack before, but that means nothing.

I would also have a look a t RockAuto if you are needing new driveshafts, they have sets for £230 delivered including all taxes. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/hon ... +axle,2288

@Vanzep where in the UK did you get your new shafts?

Cheers Merlin. I managed to track down a pair yesterday evening on an Irish site of all places. I think they were the last pair available too.
