    FML.. FCP ruined my july 4th weekend

    i order a control arm kit from them on ebay. i got the parts in on monday but due to my busy life(school+full time work+part time babysitter) i plan on installing it on my day off which is this weekend. i got all the old arms out and burn the old bushing out. went to test fit the new control arm...WTF..they are both right side arm.NOOOOOOOOO..i email the ebay seller email and for some reason it can't go through so i email FCP instead. my plan for july 4th weekend is pretty much screw. wife screaming, complaining about not having a car to go out and enjoy the weekend.

                          Albeit they did mess up on shipping two right CAs, you should have verified parts when you received them, and before you started disassembly. I always verify what I am planning to replace is truly in my hands before I tear in. Half the time, I end up needing something else that I find needs attention anyway.

                          Its 50% fault. You shouldn't plan on doing 'mods' etc to your only car the weekend that you need to use it. Always do it the weekend before, for this very reason.

                          I feel no pity.

                            Exactly what I do. The womans daily E30 is my backup :P

                            Then, if backup E30 is broken, or is unavailable. Backup Datsun

                            IF god decided to destroy my fleet and backup Datsun is broken, Back up dodge truck.....

                            The dodge doesn't see much drive time... I've only driven it to tow cars and big heavy loads and shit.

                              That really sucks, but you should get another car or find a person that can drive you maybe.
