    Try and contact "Number 7 Honda" in Toronto, Canada for that part. I am informed that they found the piece a couple weeks ago for a buddy with the same issue.

    You can also look up the number on Hondapartsdeal.com, if you do not know it yet.

    The piece came out of the Montreal parts depot, but I do not know if any are left. It is in excess of $200.00, I am told.

    if you strike out go on car-part .com my search showed at least 30-40 of them across the us from 40-100 bucks. Not sure what your zip code is so I would go that route.

    Any update on the rear subframe availability? I'm now in need of one as well. Absolutely no chance of repairing what is in the car now. I tried the various parts places listed above and either got no response or was told that the part is no longer available from Honda. I'm starting to think the only way to get this thing is to cut it out of a junkyard shell, which makes me really nervous...

    I'd really hate to part out a repariable racecar because of such a small issue.

    Sorry I haven’t looked for awhile
    I am in moving mode right now going to a new F16 unit
    The car is in storage

    But a junk yard item seems to be the way to go, I already bought one of those spot weld removing drill bits just need to get time to find one in a junk yard

    I made it to a Junk yard and bought the rear lower cross member I needed

    $150

    They cut the back half of the car off then I marked out the area I needed (small enough to move around)

    I was able to use the local Auto hobby shop and drill out the spot welds

    So we are making progress

    No just a Tech

    The car will go on the alignment rack tomorrow

    I am new to Hondas so I don’t even know what specs to give him

    Anyone have any spec they can share
