Making a parts trip to Vancouver...
Hoping some of you guys could give me a hand with finding some parts...
I need to make ONE trip to Vancouver to get a bunch of stuff for my S.
I need the entire right rear knee, upper and lower A arms, spindle and hub etc. I was wondering if anyone knows of a wrecker that would have them in Van.? Maybe grab me a phone number or a link to a website?
I am also needing a water pump. (maybe the same auto salvage place?)
Possibly pick up a set of axles as well, as I am starting to get a slight vibration from the passenger rear.
I have also PM'd a couple of you guys for some other aftermarket parts that I will get at the same time...
A set of wheels is the hard part. I would like a set of Volks CE48N with the correct offset etc. But any others that you all know of would be appreciated as well. I have been lurking the forum but it's hard to tell what is still for sale, and what is out there... so I figure, it's best to ask the locals.
If you guys don't mind putting in your two cents it would be appreciated...
TIA ~Brett
Edit: Sorry, forgot... also looking for an AP1 OEM style front lip, any colour, black or CF prefered.

Troubler,
Brett, there were two s2000s at a wrecker in Abbotsford -- I replaced my rear driveshaft+CVs which eliminated the vibration issue (search forum for worn inner CV, especially driver's side). Not too much left of one of them -- but you might still find the parts. Search online at their site.
And I recommend that you bargain with them!

Also, regarding making a trip to Vancouver -- I used to get stuff shipped to Blaine, but now in Kelowna I get it shipped to Oroville:

Handy for stuff that doesn't ship to Canada AND a sweet drive down the valley (and no mountain passes with snow in case you aren't running winters).
I am going down to pick up my 18" OZ Superleggeras (staggered) tomorrow or Monday -- I can't wait!
I take it you are keeping your s? When we met you mentioned it was for sale. Let me know how its going.
Cheers, Duane

Ya I'm gunna keep it. I am selling the CRX that I have instead... I change my mind like I change clothes though....
I just want to change it (the S) up a bit this year...
Thanks for the links, some of those will come in handy. I will have to check with the import recycler on Monday. I know of one in Socal as well, so that Betta Services may come in handy as well...
Any more?
