firstly you need to kow what front bar you have, pre facelift or facelift?

[ben11]

thanks espionage (Y)

also i need some decent coilovers, anyone know if the skunk2 ones you can buy from america are any good?

[Spoon DA9R]

i've actuallly heard a lot of good stuff about them. worth giving it a try..but shipping might kill you tho..

[espionage85]

if you get dc2 rear lcas you can dc2 style coilovers
bigger variety, and maybe cheaper

Hey guys,
Anyone seen or got a pic of the DA with a CARBON FIBRE ROOF, BONNET and Mirrors?
Does it look any good?

DA9 Radiator.

Guys, we have a b18cr in an ED9.
B18's have 32mm radiator hose inlet.outlet.
our b16 ef8 radiator is blocked beyond repair.
have replaced it with a normal ED civic/CRX radiator.
Problem is that all the ED radiators have a 28mm hose inlet/outlet.
I've been told that the DA9 radiator has the 32mm outlet/inlets and also fits the ED/EF CRX chassis.
Can you DA9 guys please go out and measure your DA9 radiators for me please???
I want to have confirmation before I go out and buy a DA9 radiator.

thanks

[Jon_51]

you only need eg6/dc2r lca's for DC2R suspension not DC2. DC2 rear suspension is a straight swap (NB: da9 rear dampers are alot longer than dc2 dampers).
Both DC2 and DC2R front suspension requires the front drop forks from a dc2r or a dc2 to be fitted to a da9.

hey im pretty sure you can't buy h4h xenon bulbs so do you need a converison kit?

also i took my bumper and lights out today to extend the intake and in the wheel well there is part of the intake sytem i think that doesn't connect to anything exept a hole which leads to the filter area but looks like some sort of filter for water or something?, its shaped weirdly can someone tell me what it is. sorry i can't really explain it

cheers

[A-man]

hey mate

its a resinator box it quietens the intake noise thats all it does

remove it competely its useless. its good to get rid of though u get better fuel economy and a better response from the engine

[ben11]

thanks bro, also would it be bad for the shocks if I got coilovers and dropped it 3 inches. would I need new shocks soon?

Yes, your shocks will die quite quickly if you drop your car 3 inches on them.

[iggie]

hey guys,

are the 90/91 front bars interchangeable with the 92/93 front bars?

ie can a 92 front bumper fit on a 90 model?

Im pretty sure they can, just need it to be clarified lol

igg

[FR33K]

sure can

i dont remember if you need to change bumper support too.. i think you do (or at least I did anyway)

[iggie]

thanks bro

[ben11]

its covered here

http://forums.g2ic.com/tegtips/exterior/13.html

[Rayle]

I'm pretty sure the procedure is different detailed to that on g2ic. The bumper supports for the USDM and AUDM are different, if you look at the 4th pic in the teg tip you can see what I mean.

It should be much easier than that (not that I've done it myself), hopefully you can just buy a 92-93 front bumper with supports and just bolt it right up. I'd like to know too...

[SL33K]

It's really easy to do you will need the 92-93 support and brackets as the 90-91 support won't fit in the bumper and the brackets are different.

[espionage85]

i changed mine, used the 89-92 brakets and re bar, n just squeezed on the 93 bumper.
was impoaaible to find the 93 brakets.

[iggie]

thanks for all the replies guys,

how much r the brackets? where bouts do u get them?

I was thinkin of doin a front end conversion, or selling mine and waiting for a nice facelift model to pop up

wrecker is your best bet. if i remember correct ( it was 4 years ago when i did it on one of my DAs) the only difference in the brackets is the dept of it. bolt placement is exactly the same.

cheers, spoon

my guess is that the brackets r on the bumper? or are they separate?

[Rayle]

It's the brackets that the bumper attaches to, where you place the bolts behind the indicators. Those squarish metal things that are bolted to the chassis in front of the radiator that your bumper bolts to.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong..

wont be for a while yet coz of school commitments, but its going to be one of first things i dow when i finish :) and ill post pics

[FR33K]

that is right.. i think you need the deeper brackets.. from memory they are about 2 inches thick or more..

if you use the thinner ones... maybe 1 inch thick, when you instal the bumper it would look pushed in like youve had an accident

[ben11]

i read somewhere that you can get good power increase by getting bigger injectors, this true? and from what ive read you would need a chipped ecu as well...sorry im still learning bout engines so no clue atm

[stevo716]

u usually only get bigger injectors when turboing , or running silly N/A things like porting allowing more air in so u need more fuel, plus u need to tune it
alone as a mod wont do anything

I just bought another DA9 today....

should I feel guilty? such a DA whore now!

not sure yet exactly what I am going to do with this one, it has a head gasket leak or cracked head or something, 1 dodgy CV, crunching gearbox and rear wheel bearings are gone, apart from that though it is all good!

couldnt go past a $700 bargain though, it even has rego for another 10 days!

tossing up whether I should replace the engine and box and fix it up a bit then sell or totally dismantle as a parts car. I am definitely taking off the hatch struts, taillights and interior to put on the other 2 cars but we will see what happens with the rest.

quick question,
how do you guys mount a single din cd player in your DAs?
ontop or below the tray?

because my deck and tray aint sitting right lol
both slightly sagging and when i hit vtec the deck moves because i have nowere to mount it

any suggestions?
pics?

[stevo716]

on top, then ive taped it, to the storage thingy
doesnt move at all,

[ben11]

what i did was take of the bottom of the original cassete deck (bit which is held by two screws at the back) and glue that to the mounting sleeve of the cd player, so it sits exactly were the original sat. btw its a bitch to get off but worth it

yeah i got a sterio install kit from supercheap. worked a dream.

[mooshie]

you should make up a bracket that screws to the back of the unit and then in to the frame that goes around the back of the DIN area.

Just use a thin metal strip that you can get at any stereo install place ( maybe supercheap?), they even have holes pre punched.

espionage a couple of pages ago you said you usd a heat gun to take apart some lights, just wondering what temp it was at? thanks man

cant remember what temp it was at, just try from a lower heat to higher, i dont think it should matter to much as long as your only melting the glue and not the lense

[ben11]

ok cheers will give it a go asap

[Spoon DA9R]

I am sure I had a writeup somewhere....maybe its a some 100 page back when i did my projector fitment i wrote something about it. I used a hair dry and have to be patient when u take lenses out.
using hair dryer or heat gun will make sure you won't melt anything else unnecessary. but that means you can only lift up a section of the lense at a time.

I am not sure exactly what you are after, but if you need a front wheel bearing just go to CBC Bearings and ask them. The part number is HO125A suits DA9 Integra, and should be about $65 each.
I have a spare but if I read correctly you need 2, plus i would be unwilling at this stage to part with it in case I decide to fix up the red car.

BTW- I believe Honda ask about $160 a pop.

[mooshie]

nope, found it locally. not a lot of DAs come up wrecked or whatever in Adelaide so I am pretty pleased..

If you are going to do all that then you might want to go the whole hog and do the swap properly-

http://technet.ff-squad.com/how-to/5lug.ef-da/

This is NOT just a bolt on swap, if you bolt on then you will have camber issues that cant be corrected by just a simple kit, lowering does help a lot though

[Rayle]

So disappointed, my DA9 failed roadworthy for the second time. First time there was a shitload of issues, this time there are two:

A clunking noise from the rear end. This might actually have been tools in the spare wheel compartment moving around, otherwise it's probably bolts torqued incorrectly.

Other one is a perished 'linkage' bushing from the rear suspension, I'm guessing this is the pivot bushing connecting the LCA to the chassis. I'm going to get all of the LCA bushings pressed out because I don't want to spend 12 hours of my life burning the rubber out and then hacksawing the shells, anyone know a machine shop in the SE suburbs of Melbourne?

Need to buy another fscking unregistered vehicle permit too...

nope just bolt the whole rear on. it will change the offset slightly i believe, as the DC2R has a slightly wider track (hubs sit wider)

fronts are the harder part.

Also- you only need a fuel pump if you are upgrading to much higher power or the pump is getting old and cant push the pressure anymore.

[ben11]

hi just wondering what ecu i have the build year is 91 and my vin no. looks like JHMEG218OOS######, from what i have read this is the P75 OBD-1?

thanks in advance

[string]

On your engine harness are the plugs clear/yellow or grey? The latter is OBD-1.

Also- you only need a fuel pump if you are upgrading to much higher power or the pump is getting old and cant push the pressure anymore.

I went through making this swap, good not so long ago (car had just been slammed on itr front knuckles).
you want to get a new pair of front wheel bearings to suit da9.
then you get the front itr hubs machined to suit your new da9 wheel bearings.
and then press the itr hub/da9wheel bearings onto your standard da9 front knuckles.
this will give you an oem alignment at standard ride height.
oh yeah and watch out for gutter rash, this widens the track of your da9.
brake proportioning valve doesn't need to be changed, but the master cylinder does if you want real nice pedal feel.
rear you just bolt up the itr trailing arms and you're done.

[jforsta]

Hey all,

Thought I'd throw this open to the forum as I need some opinions. I'm currently riding on Koni Yellow/ Ground Control combo with camber kit and looking to add a bit more to my suspension.
These are the options I'm thinking of:
1. ASR subframe brace with 24mm rear sway (approx$390US ex deliv.)
2. ST combo front (24mm) and rear(19mm) sway bars (approx $280US ex deliv)
3. Some form of front strut bar + just the 19mm rear sway from ST with no subframe brace (approx $300-350US ex deliv)

What do you reckon is the best bang for buck here? Is the front sway worth doing at the same time as the rear? I wish I was made of money and
could just go for the obvious - buy all of them! lol. Opinions appreciated, even more so if you've run any of these parts before.

Thx, Joe.

[FR33K]

I was running exactly the same set up... although I dont have experience with all 3 combos above, i did find that a quality front strut brace + rear sway made a real noticeable difference to my handling

[jforsta]

Cheers appreciate the feedback. Yeah cars feels really nice once its in the corner but would be good to minimise some of that initial body roll on turn in. I'm guessing the rear sway would help that?
And a little extra stability in the front could be found from the Front upper strut?

Would the difference be significant between say a Megan racing (cheapo) and Cusco Front strut? Oh yeah... did you upgrade the front sway too?

Thx mate.

[Spoon DA9R]

if u want less roll then u need both front and rear sway bar.

strut doesn't stop ur car from rolling..only stops ur car from flexing while its rolling
strut will make the steering and the turn in tighter
sway will keep the car flatter

[string]

Leave the front swaybar stock and upgrade the rear. Roll resistance at either end will reduce body roll, and adding it at the rear will help reduce some understeer.

Strut bars are one of the worst bang for buck mods you can do.

[mooshie]

I went through making this swap, good not so long ago (car had just been slammed on itr front knuckles).
you want to get a new pair of front wheel bearings to suit da9.
then you get the front itr hubs machined to suit your new da9 wheel bearings.
and then press the itr hub/da9wheel bearings onto your standard da9 front knuckles.
this will give you an oem alignment at standard ride height.
oh yeah and watch out for gutter rash, this widens the track of your da9.
brake proportioning valve doesn't need to be changed, but the master cylinder does if you want real nice pedal feel.
rear you just bolt up the itr trailing arms and you're done.

Hey Jon,
have you changed out the MC for a DC2R one? Did you swap the whole Booster/MC combo or just swap the MC? I have just upgraded to 282mm fronts and it does feel slightly mushy at first but when you press the pedal a bit more it bites really well. I dont feel that modulating the brake is an issue at all either.

Just wondering if it is worth the hassle of getting in there to swap it all out (tis a bitch to access)

[jforsta]

Hmm thx for the advice guys. Maybe I'd be better off investing a little more in the rear sway ( asr with brace perhaps ?) and leave the front sway and strut for now?

How big do you think you can go in mm before a subframe brace is required?
ST have a 19mm
Progressive make a 22mm
ASR offer a 24mm with subframe brace

Thx for the tips ay.

[byteme]

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53696

Mr_will has a 24mm brace without the asr brace, althought it does have some sorte of bracketing.

[jforsta]

Thx for the link, I reckon anything over 22mm I'd need some sort of brace/subframe support. Cool to see people coming up with custom installs although I'm leaning towards this package now:

let me know how it goes, i was looking at the same thing :)

[jforsta]

Cool, just got a quote $75 extra for shipping from the States. Not too bad. Would pull the pin right now if it wasn't rent week .. arrrgghh.
Will definately update when (if) it's installed.

[byteme]

i know i really shouldn't do this but, that was worth a lil rep no ?

lol i have a custom fiberglass sub box for a DA9 (fits into the rear left corner of the boot) that i want to sell but i cant do anything because of this new rep system!

[jforsta]

Happy to help a brother out :) Rep inc.

Very nice!

[A-man]

very nice teg

[Ashwee]

guys if anyone needs parts let me know, i'm parting out my red teg.

[Rayle]

What kind of aftermarket parts do you have?

Prices for:
front lip
front bumper
rear bumper

[Ashwee]

none, they're all on my new DA :P

[Rayle]

Ahh, fair enough.

[Spoon DA9R]

i have an original but modified rear bumper and side skirt! lol

[Jon_51]

hey adam, how much do you reckon postage of that bumper would be to brisbane?

[Spoon DA9R]

not sure man..its a big piece! won' be cheap...doubt it'll be worth shipping it mate...

[rage_against]

guys im sellin an s200 and its been that long since i even thought about the thing that ive forgotten anything about it, main thing i want to know is, how can i tell what ecu its for, eg, 0bd1 etc, i bought it for a b16a so im assuming i got one for an obd1. any help is appreciated haha.

[A-man]

it wont cost that much i posted a bumper from melbourne to perth for 170

[ben11]

hi I have two issues,

when i am turning the wheel hard lock to lock there is a vibration at the front of the dashboard above the firewall?

and also my brake pedal is normally fine but sometimes gets squishy, why is this and would a bleed fix it? thanks for the help

[A-man]

sounds odd bout the wheel man have u got oil in ur p/s?

ur second prob sounds like ur master cly might b buggered. u can try bleeding it but im pretty sure its stuffed

the master cly has a tandem setup inside so it runs 2 clyinders for the braking system so 1 goes to the front 1 for the rear if one fails you will loose half of ur braking system sometimes they bypass inbetween each other. so try bleeding it otherwise replace the master cly... unless u can see it leaking somewhere again unless being there its hard to say...

ive had one i did for a mate his would go straight to the floor sometimes but would come good if he kept pumping it back.

[Spoon DA9R]

hey aman, how's your little business going with those bolts? found out if you can get them for lexus?

[gumbs]

I've had brake booster issues with both my DA9s and got similar symptoms. I couldn't justify fixing it as the brake boosters were $700 a pop for new ones and I don't trust second hand brake gear. I just put up with it. When my master cylinder went my pedal just dropped to the floor, before that it had a rock solid pedal then about 6 months later I started getting the squishy pedal, I just learnt to live with it.

[ben11]

ok thanks a-man and gumbs, hopefully its not too serious. One more thing i forgot to mention was that the idle is pretty rough occasionally after starting up and driving a bit but then all good ater that?
cheers

[Jon_51]

Sorry mooshie, I didn't see this post. I can't really say. I bought the car with the master cylinder already done. brakes feel good but after doing the master cylinder on an ek I wouldn't recommend it without little elf hands or the motor out.

[Spoon DA9R]

wonder what it looks like now :)

[Jon_51]

looks pretty much the same, but I went back to stock lights while i work out what to do with the projectors. for a da though, i got most of the squeaks out of it.

the real question is
paint or cf? or painted cf?

[Spoon DA9R]

link don't work lol

[gumbs]

$450!!!? Why? The weight is in the glass anyway.

[Spoon DA9R]

can get custom perspex made up

[mooshie]

can buy off the shelf if you want to as well-
http://www.flex-a-lite.com/auto/html/flexite-molded.html
http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/performanceparts/Acura/Integra/Body/Windows

[gumbs]

can get custom perspex made up

Which will be illegal. But my point was more why spend $450 (probably closer to $600 after shipping) on the replacing the hatch, if you've ever lifted one without the glass in it they weigh SFA. If you're that concerned with dropping weight by all means replace the glass with perspex, that will give you a decent weight reduction, but replacing steel with CF will make so little difference.

Also considering how nose heavy the DAs are I'd be more inclined to try and lose weight upfront, before I started trying to take it out of the back. Unless of course your just doing it for the strip, but then you'd be much better off spending the money else where.

On an unrelated note did you ever end up selling your Da9?

[Spoon DA9R]

well jon_51 wants everything he can get his hands on lol..was just a half kidding suggestion...just that i've thought about it myself in the past..but i agree with u..i could never justify spending that much on the back end of the car when the front is where the diet needs to be targeted

his current car is almost complete...other than engine/box, front/rear cf bits, maybe a front lip in the near future, front and rear strut, ...most other handling bits had been done :p

yeh i've sold it...several months back....miss it dearly tho, just not as much fun in the is200

[Jon_51]

I'm only really thinking about it because the bootlid has had a couple spoilers put on it and it's going to cost a couple hundred bucks to get welded up and resprayed. +a cf bonnet is pretty ridiculously cheap and I'd be the king of the rice bois.
I'll probably end up going the weld up and respray, what do you guys reckon? has anyone changed the glass in the hatch? is it very tricky?

[Spoon DA9R]

you better look up g2ic about this..last time when i was considering that's where i found all the info lol

[Jon_51]

I would've thought the lexus would've been heaps of fun compared to a honda.
is it to luxury? sorry keeping it ot.
does anyone have any experience with the ys1 with a b18/20v. are the gear ratio's ok?
I'm tossing up whether to get an lsd, but i'm wondering if it'd be worthwhile to go to a different box in the long run.

[Spoon DA9R]

too slow...too soft...too smooth...too sensible
i've got a bunch of parts laying around at home..maybe once i put them in it'll be much better

i miss the rawness of my DA..the braking..the low ride height...the flatness of it going around the corner..and the rev of a honda engine..haha
but i guess i'll forgot it about it once i've done the engine conversion on the IS haha..the current 2L inline6 is a piece of junk rofl, the DA was faster

[espionage85]

in my DA9 im using a ys1 short ratio LSD box, and i thought it was pretty good..
but its on its way out and instead of buying a 2nd hand box for $700 without knowing the history i thought id rebuild mine with different ratios with this:

Y1 (EF8/9 JDM CRX SiR – Close ratio LSD cable box) Honda genuine parts:
2.052 - Gear, Countershaft 2nd - $185
Sleeve Set, Synchronizer (1-2) - $385
Nut, Hex., 23mm - $15
Sleeve set, synchronizer (3-4) - $315
Sleeve set, synchronizer (5) - $220
1.416 - Gear, Mainshaft 3rd - $165
1.103 - Gear, Mainshaft 4th - $165
0.870 - Gear, Mainshaft 5th - $165

in my EG im running a b20vtec with s4c EK9 box, and apparently these are equivelant ratios^
realy realy short and with a b20 you barely use 1st gear lol

[stevo716]

haha yup the 2l 6cyl is a joke i wanted to get an is and put a blown 1uz in it xD did all my research too was gonna cost bout 4g with a manual conversion

[Spoon DA9R]

yeh thats if u do it all by urself...problem is with the 1UZ the only properly cheap gearbox for it is a 5 speed...its lame..but i want 6spd hahaha
plan is 3sge then turbo after
cbf with 1/2jz...they cost too much for the whole conversion

anyway..bit off topic now..uguys should organize a meetup..so i can come and see all the cars again..haha...i still turn my head to take a 2nd look when a see a DA on the road

[stevo716]

just get 6 speed supra one lol u want somethin that hold the power too

yeh meet wud be great idk whoz from melb anymore though

[Spoon DA9R]

yeh but that gearbox is freaking expensive man
i kinda want the properly altezza engine so its a straight fit no fking around..then boost...enough to get 200+ kw..i m happy hahaha..as long as its faster then my gf's Mini JCW then i'll be happy

last time we had 8 cars i think...
if someone organize one i am sure me and alex ( aka LO_N_SX) will come to pay tribute haha

[stevo716]

haha i know, if i found an altezza id be allover it, so shit u cant import it, even though diff engine diff maker lol
yet u can import s15 silvia when the 200sx was sold here lol

ok well ill write here..

Any melbourne ppl wanna meet up?
Can wait til after exam period doesnt bother me much
never met up with just da's wud be cool.

oh and adam never met with u guys either lol, my cars alot diff since i first started on this forum lol

[Spoon DA9R]

when iw as buying mine i was choosing between black turbo altezza, silver stock alteazza, silver stock is200..ended getting the is200 coz it was so cheap and i want LEATHER hahaha..less hassle anyway...cost about the same to do everthing myself...
THATs exactly what i thought when i questioned the import people how can they bring in s15 and evos....gay..

i have met a few before on the last cruise..but its probably a completely different group now haha

[espionage85]

how long does it take you guys to go canberra?
coz i wanna meet toooooo!!!! lol

[stevo716]

10 hr trip hahah, come down to vic man, its mad down here :P

[mooshie]

Finally got my oil cooler installed this weekend. Its a Greddy DC2 unit but I customised it to fit the DA9 better and shortened the hoses by about 1m and 60cm also added ports for my gauges and oil feed for the turbo.

very tight in there so there was a lot of trial and error getting everything to squeeze in!

Hey guys, has anyone ever purchased anything from a fellow member and never received the product after payment?
I bought $500 worth DA panels off here and got basically nothing that was useable, guard was bent, bumper cracked, wiring cut off way too short on the hatch plus the guy even took all the bulbs out of the lights. Also driven 6 hours to newcastle to pickup a rolling wreck to find he had stripped everything else from it and the radiator was cracked and most of the panels were stuffed. One of these members is still active, you know who you are.

I don't trust anyone on a car forum.

Who was it?
Pm me the name, maybe it's the same person
Got 1 dude on here that got ripped by the same person as me

[slimx]

if i drove dat far and saw that i woulda smashed the flops face in before taking it home lol

[gumbs]

The though crossed my mind, I just told him to stick it and left. I didn't pay him anything but it still cost me $400 in fuel, food and trailer hire.

Both of them were regulars at the time too so I didn't expect them to do the dodge.

[stevo716]

Good Mini Meet peeps, was good to finally meet ppl in person.
will hopefully get more ppl at next haha

[mooshie]

Pics!

lol <.<
dont think anyone took any, it was 2 DAs lol
then adam and alex came along lol

whats the easiest engine conversion for a da9?

[stevo716]

whats the easiest engine conversion for a da9?
any b series engine is pretty easy, bolts straight in

[stevo716]

SYDNEY nxt time :)
haha u guys come down here

[espionage85]

haha u guys come down here

it would be easier if 2 guys drive to sydney
than 10 to melb lol

[stevo716]

melbs better though lol

[mooshie]

Easiest of all would be a B16A from a DA6, everything bolts up, only wiring is a bit different and they come standard with a cable gearbox. not sure if it is a huge improvement though, you lose torque but gain revs and top end power

[espionage85]

b20 non vtec, should cost no more than $1500 installed
massive torque..
i have a b20/b16 vtec and i hardly even get into the vtec zone because it has so much torque

edit: short ratio gearbox helps alot also

[string]

Are you running powersteering? If so which brackets and pump?

[espionage85]

standard ones, aircon also

[slimx]

Got a friend with a CRX DELSOL JAP SPEC sitting there it is a 1.6cly vtec. Not sure what kind of motor never took a good look, the gearbox is gone but the engine is fine.

JapSpec Vtec engine.. im gona assume wil make my DA a rocket his willing to give me the engine, Just curious anyone know differences and problems i might run into?

I have a YS1 Cable Gearbox atm and installed i just got the standard b18a

[stevo716]

I have a YS1 Cable Gearbox atm and installed i just got the standard b18a

ull lose torque, somethin u might want considering da is heavier than crx, but the gearbox will bolt up if u use the ys1 clutch and flywheel,
long as the engine is a b series, there all pretty conbatible, prob is ys1 gearbox is long ratio and will be crap for a b16, so basicly itll be slower than what you currently got

[slimx]

ill be sticking to my lovely b18 then lol

[stevo716]

ill be sticking to my lovely b18 then lol
haha yup unless u can get the short ratio gearbox that goes with b16, it will be slower

Glad it all worked out for you.

[espionage85]

you can build your own box

The Y1 was the best cable B-series box from the SiR CRX with the closest ratios.
But the final drive is 4.266...
The YS1 has the same ratios as EK4/9 Civic VtiR/Type R incl the 4.4 final drive...

Either way, we can help as we've done this job before.
Ballpark quote is as follows:
Remove & replace gearbox charge is $400 - B-series honda
Dissasemble, clean, inspect, assemble gearbox - $250
Sundries (OEM MTF06 gear oil, sealants & disposal of waste products, gearbox seals & crush washers) - $150
+ Any extra work charges are additional. (Repair of existing parts etc)
+ Any parts required are additional

Here's a quick price list for you if we supply the parts:
Y1 (EF8/9 JDM CRX SiR – Close ratio LSD cable box) Honda genuine parts:
2.052 - Gear, Countershaft 2nd - $185
Sleeve Set, Synchronizer (1-2) - $385
Nut, Hex., 23mm - $15
Sleeve set, synchronizer (3-4) - $315
Sleeve set, synchronizer (5) - $220
1.416 - Gear, Mainshaft 3rd - $165
1.103 - Gear, Mainshaft 4th - $165
0.870 - Gear, Mainshaft 5th - $165

YS1 (92~93 JDM Integra – STD ratio LSD cable box) Honda genuine parts:
2.105 - Gear, Countershaft 2nd - $185
Sleeve Set, Synchronizer (1-2) - $385
Nut, Hex., 23mm - $15
Sleeve set, synchronizer (3-4) - $315
Sleeve set, synchronizer (5) - $220
1.458 - Gear, Mainshaft 3rd - $165
1.107 - Gear, Mainshaft 4th - $165
0.848 - Gear, Mainshaft 5th - $165

Now before you get excited,
The down side to all this is most of these parts are back order out of Japan.
Some only being made to order as the boxes are so old now.

M-Factory also make the following aftermarket parts for your box.
4.928 Final drive gear
Carbon-Lined 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/5th Synchro Rings (Brass ring only - no hub & sleeve)
Magnetic drain plugs
& can supply all bearings etc too
(PM e240 for M-Factory products)

Hope that helps

im going to as mine it gone, no more 3rd, or 5th
so i thought i may aswell go all out n do the whole thing

[espionage85]

Glad it all worked out for you.

hahah i put a deposit on it today so its mine
but yeh this my new ride, and i just found a me manual short ratio gbox too

[mooshie]

ha ha! i knew it! I had seriously just cut and pasted that link to post up as a guess but you came clean.. looks like a nice clean buy for the price, did they know what they had? teh ad says 'conversion' but it looks like a DA6 to me although never seen one in auto.
I suppose you will use all the pedals, console etc from the old car?

[stevo716]

yeh da6, got climate control and stuff
and old skool b16 in it
the guy had no idea it was a da6 lol

[SL33K]

Did a chime sound come on when you out put it in reverse lol happens in my da6 as it's an auto.
Will be good to see how you go at converting it to manual as that's what I want to eventually do to mine.

[stevo716]

hhaha yeh it did
im like wtf...haha

[SL33K]

If you're interested I have the jdm owners manual for the da that's been translated to english I can scan it if you want

[stevo716]

thatd be sweet man yeh :) thanks

[mooshie]

SL33K can I get a copy too? I assume yours is for an Auto but would be interesting all the same

[stevo716]

im in the da6 crew now YAY! lol hahah

[espionage85]
