At least your beloved isn't totalled.....your very lucky.

£100 says that the cops didn't stop at the scene of the accident???

thats not a bad idea, try and screw the police for not stopping at the scene of the accident. might work or you may just piss them off

No, cops didn't stop but they wouldn't have known, they went flying past at about 100mph.

I am sooo fed up, I can't find parts anywhere, its impossible. I don't know what to do.

Does anyone know what parts I can use from a CRX VT?

Cant believe what happened 2 your car. 1 of my fave 4g's on this forum and i always check up on this thread. Parts are hard 2 find 4 the vtecs. Hopefully there should be someone out there that can help with the parts

Thanks for all the comments, It not a nice thing to have happen and I hope that such a thing never happens to anyone else on here.

I have managed to find some parts for the car, I think I now have a Bonnet, Bumper, Slam Panel and Front Trim, just need to conform this and pay for them. I am not sure if I want plastic headlights though, I may be better getting glass ones again (its anoying as mine aren't cracked or anything, it just that the bolts got ripped out of them when the slam panel got pulled up by the bonnet) Does anyone know how much lighter the plastic ones are?

Anyway, I had something interesting turn up today

these will be going in at some point after I get the bodywork sorted, and then its for a tune with Henry.

Crower Stage 2 Cams, should give me a good increase in power and a better midrange while still retaining proper idle characteristics, I also have some Buddy Club Adjustable Cam Gears on their way.

Trying to find parts sucks, you think you have got something and then you get messed around and end up with nothing

, at the moment I haven't actually bought any parts yet. The only parts I am pretty sure I have found are a slam panel and front bumper, I have also definitly found some Plastic EF9 headlights but I am not really keen on getting plastic ones.

Gutted to see whats happened buddy!

Its always the way, when your close to perfection, your short of money, something always f's up like this!

Ill have a look out in my shed to see if I got a T-piece you can have, I would of thought I should have....

Best of luck with repairs! VT Headlights are a TW@ to get hold of!

If you could have a look that would be great as have still not managed to find one.

Yeah, headlight are a pita to find, I think I may have found some new ones for cheap, but I'm just hoping they are the right ones.

Thanks, yeah, at least I have got the Big brakes and the Cams to look forward to, thats if I can afford to get them fitted/tuned. The boat over to Scotland for the tuning is going to cost me about £200

Richy wrote:where abouts did you get your battery by the way mate

From an Ebay shop I think.

Hopefully I can get the car fixed within two weeks max, I'm already starting to go mad with not being able to drive it.

Do you think my car would look better with a nice shiny Koyo Radiator? Its just I quite like the shiny black of the Stock one.

I was thinking that earlier as mine is in pretty good condition too. Dont think you need it mate
