You aren't a real e30 enthusiast until you've got at least two e30s :)

Wow... for a second there I thought this thread was about the new version Final Cut Pro (FCP). I mean... it's bad, but ruining a weekend seemed a little extreme. haha.

I usually sit on my parts for 3-4 months before I get the chance to replace it.

I may have a spare. Ill have to ask my dad go look I keep all my spares there. Go fucking PNP to gt by

Come to Roseville and I'll give you a driver's side control arm from fcp. Seriously. I have a brand new one. You can give me your new one when it comes in.

Just have a party at your place. Then no need to drive anywhere.

blunt's prices seem to be getting higher? finding places with cheaper parts all the time, like FCP and eEuroParts.

I ordered a FCP control arm kit, and they got everything right. Sucks it didn't work out for you.

It's a sign, get at LEAST meyle parts ...FCP parts have been known to fail SOON or not fit correctly...check BFC.

FCP does sell Meyle and Lemf parts as well.

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.

yes it half my fault but still the shipping won't make it in time for july4 weekend unless its first class shipping...FML...

FCP has warranty on their parts if it fails or doesn't fit you get a new one. I did tell you to get Meyle though devon.

Lol I donno. I have two e30s. I choose as I please. I'm just saying, if you want to man up and fix your otherwise "ruined" weekend, then come to me, get what you need, install said parts, and continue living your life.

You shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket. Diversify son!
