just got ef8, few probs

[shitbox]

have just bought an ef8 from melbourne got it car carried up to brisbane picked it up yesterday. apparently in perfect nick with roadworthy... when hitting brakes the car pulls down to the left/ twist's around on the road. pretty dangerous should not have passed. i asked the bloke today if he knew of any suspension problems apparently mech said lower controll arms were on their way out. is this a part i need to order from japan? can i source a part from wreckers/ this site? can the bushes just be replaced?. whats easiest option .. also vtec solenoid wire is broken for some reason is this somthing i can just bodgey up?

thanks in advance

Go to www.crxaustralia.com

Sign up, introduce yourself and post this in the technical boards. We're very into CRXs there :)

Do the wheels need to be aligned? Tyres the same on each side of course?
As for the LCAs I know you can use DC2 ones with some mild adjustments.

Not so sure about the VTEC solenoid unfortunately but if you ask on our site you'll get an answer...


Hope to see you there. Pity you've taken it up to Bris, we're trying to collect EF8s down here!
Andyy
