Yeah I literally did all of the Perth in a day, its more for middle aged people and families, and surfers. Melbourne is the one mate!
I'm all good, getting myself sorted. Living with my mate in a sweet area. Got a job as a trainee chef, so I doubt I'll be back for a few years, maybe once for a few weeks.
Just need a car now - looking at DA5's. 8)

So I finally have a place to work on the civic so
Gonna get right back in

Recently looked at the car and noticed the front
Wheels are out passes the fenders quiet a bit

It has ef9 hubs but still using ef1 lower control arms
Any difference in ef9 l.c.a other than a place to mount an a.r.b?

If anyone knows an answer to the above question
It'd be a great help

And so the hardship begins
Started the polybushing and got off to a bad start
Started stripping the car to get the kit done and dusted

Starting with the steering rack

The p/s subframe is obviously different
As I'm using a non p/s rack I'm guessing ill need
A 'non p/s subframe

Here's the gap (this gap is here since I fitted the non p/s rack)
