On eBay it goes, I’ll post the link

I don’t suppose you heard back from the contact? I am probably going to cut my losses and stick it on eBay now…

Excellent, I shall wait to hear back, the other option may be to cut my losses and just stick it on eBay, but I’d rather try to get it on the road…

Thanks I emailed them and they said “I am afraid that we do not have the tooling to produce this glass. To create a new tooling, it has a starting cost of £5,000” So that scuppers that idea! I might try Europe (probably Germany) next, unless someone has any more ideas? stu

I’d tried to order from these guys before I went to autoglass, they took the order then refunded me as they couldn’t supply it. The only other option is a used one, but as they are bonded in, they’re easily broken- in fact I ordered one from a breaker but he told me it broke on removal…. I didn’t think it would be so difficult to source!

Hi all, I still have this project, but it’s on hold for now as I have had a windscreen on order from autoglass since August I had tried other cheaper sources first to no avail, anyone have any ideas? i got the down pipe and Cat fitted but it’s likely I’ll also need mid and rear as the joint is pretty perished. I started it for the first time in a few months and can’t believe how quiet it runs, you can hear the injectors above the engine! Any ideas on a windscreen would be appreciated as I’ve got 600 notes tied up in an order they can’t seem to fulfill stu

thanks all, i thought i read somewhere that the 2.3 downpipe works, so was glad to see this confirmed, and have ordered a downpipe & cat for £111 delivered, (from Cats2u) fingers crossed it all fits without too many issues, though i do expect some bolts to be troublesome... I'm making sure i start soaking them in penetrating fluid now... The Cat i ordered is the non approved version of the same cat they told me was £280, 50 quid is a much more acceptable price 🙂 I will be attempting to get this back on the road with an extremely limited budget, but some jobs i think will HAVE to be done - such as the cambelt as i have no history with the car, but i'll probably try to get through the MOT first before spending any more on it.... Thanks again!

Hi All, Just introducing myself, i recently bought a 2001 CG4 2.0i coupe as an ongoing project to do up for my sister, as she's a big Honda fan and these are a little bit different to the standard saloons, and starting to get rare here (and so are some parts, so it seems...) Its a bit of a shed, no bodywork corrosion, lots of little scratches but the engine sounds sweet. I always wished that the Prelude would have the rear end of the coupe - looks so much better... Just done the brakes and replaced the front tyres, and am hopefully getting the windscreen replaced in the next week (used screen from breakers, seems they are hard to come by, and expensive - am paying 200 notes - ouch!) Unless anyone knows of one going cheaper anywhere? The biggest issue to sort, and probably the most common currently is that it has had the Catalytic converter stolen (what a surprise) and in the process they cut the front and mid pipes to remove it, so my first challenge is to locate a front pipe and Cat (i have a flange with fitting on that "should" just slide onto the mid section. it seems on europarts its not available any more, andcats2u gave me a price of 290 for a compatible Cat- sod that! Online automotive show a Cat & front pipe for £221 - still a little steep as its an "approved"Cat. So does anyone have a source or ideas as to where i can source exhausts? and not at Honda prices! i either have to replace the front, cat and mid section, or the front and Cat and use this flange (which has a hole for the post lambda on) to connect to the mid section. So if i can find a compatible honda Cat with no lambda hole, i might be on to something. Thats obviously taking into account that everything comes undone easily (which it wont of course!) so i might have to include a manifold..... I'm based in Northants Cheers Stu
