Lol slimx. doesnt realise its just a computer spamming online lol

[slimx]

i thought it was but i figured a car parts site wouldnt use spam bots lol i guess i was wrong.

[Chriskoss]

i thought it was but i figured a car parts site wouldnt use spam bots lol i guess i was wrong.

Online marketing.. welcome to the 21st century

Some dickhead mates signed me up for all this spam email crap.. I get like 50 emails a day with viagra pills.. girls wanting to have sex with me if I put in my credit card number lol.. all bots

[slimx]

lmao i see it alot.. infact i know how to run the bots and shit.. i just never knew car sites used it haha :p gd way though

[Latino CRX]

does anyone no if a DA9 lip will fit gen2 crx ???

[slimx]

if its DelSol? NO way. the older model maybe though.. coz its more square

[Latino CRX]

Gen2 88-91 .. boxier shape look at my pic :p

[Jarkz]

Da9 is wider, you could cut the center section to shorten it.

There's heaps other lips that fix crx though?

[Chriskoss]

Now that we're on the topic of lips..

will any civic hatch or sedan lips or even dc2/4 integra lips fit a da9

Im thinking something like this
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/JDM-Honda-Integra-94-97-Type-R-Style-Front-Lip_W0QQitemZ370299819315QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Car _Parts_Accessories?hash=item563796d533

or this

[2MPRS]

imo lets go steal slimx oem lip kit i know where he lives ;)

[Latino CRX]

yeh theres heaps of lips for the crx but some guy on the crx aus said he was puttin a DA9 lip on soo thought it would be a easy fit

[slimx]

eh.. well if its boxier shape den yeh its the right shape lol, just size wise if others are saying its wider then ull need work done bro and 2mprs pfft :P lol

[Chriskoss]

I found a type-r lip to suite da9 on us ebay for about 120 posted, think ill just do that
Paying 80 for post, 30 for the lip itself hahaha o well

[slimx]

and ive had heaps of offers for my hole body kit ? the front and back lips, as well the side skirt and the door lip lol. Where do u buy these?? anyone know (stock OEM one) how much is it worth?

[mooshie]

You cant buy them anywhere, hence why you are getting the offers.

I bought the only full kit I have ever seen for sale on OzHonda in about 5 years. and paid $500 but that is witha couple of cracks and a bit of fixing that needs to be done.

IMO, I wouldn't sell it for less than a grand.

[slimx]

oow and myns just been resprayed lol puts the value up i assume :D lol

[Zackk]

I was speaking to someone that I met a while wgo who owned a DA9, and he told me about a mod that could be done that is possibly the best thing to do to a DA9..

Basically he said if you pull the diff and drivelines and whatnot out of a CR-V and put them onto a DA9, you've got AWD... And if you pull the pins from the front diff, RWD... Has anyone ever heard of this being done, or even know if it's possible without too much modification?

I'm not sure if he was bullshitting me or not, so I thought I'd ask. I personally don't think that it'd all fit without alot of modding...

[Spoon DA9R]

wouldn't be surprise someone's done it...but bare in mind u'll have a lotta customising to do...one thing is..u'l lhave to find another way for ur exhaust to go IF the drivetrain does fit along that gap...once it get to the fuel tank section...it'll have to be go around the fuel tank which would result the drivetrain hanging around 1 inch front the ground...

so either ur car becomes as high as a 4wd..dun see how its gonna work

[2MPRS]

i dont have a da9 but im pretty sure they have special tanks for the da9s like they do for the factory awd eg civics that have a dent in the tank for the exhaust to go threw

[Spoon DA9R]

thre is still part of the chassis just before the tank that u'll have to chop off then..

i guess in the end..if u spend enough money it in..anything can be done lol

[lo0se3r]

just save the money of modding and get a RWD
otherwise, stick with FF =)

You have to love FF car
Altho RWD would be more fun.

BUT, BUT, if i have a RWD car, I would have lost my licences or die a long time ago
LOLOLOL

[Spoon DA9R]

HAHA i dont think i'd kill myself...but i mite lose my license...or the car...ROFL

[slimx]

id deffinately lose the car :)

[Pezman]

does any one know where abouts you can find a ys1 trans? ive got a s1 atm but with a ys1 parts are easier to find to build it- final gear ratio,lsd etc. plus dont really wanna do a hydro conversion.

[string]

I've got a spare YS1 from a 93 integra. PM me if you're interested in more details.

[slimx]

just wondering has anyone ever converted the da9 to use hydraulic clutch/gearbox.

I'm not quite sure how to explain it in english uh.. Like the clutch at the moment in all DA9 runs off a cable it is adjustable only to a point, with hydraulic thing its usually much more smoother and better performance ive heard.

So yeh has anyone done this?

Is it just a matter of changing gearbox and clutch? or something much more...

[mooshie]

http://www.jdmyard.com/catalog09/hasport/

see bottom of the page.

[slimx]

ahh.. so $225 ay thats not bad just gotta worry about how to do it lol.

So am i gonna need a new clutchh? or is it just a basic conversion theres just part info on that page not really how to use it??

[Pezman]

depends if you have a s1 box or a ys1. s1 is a different size but from ys1 upwards in integra's are all have the same size clutch, so you might not need to get a new one.
but apart from this you will also need a new transmission mount depending on what you get.
i think innovative's has a complete conversion assembly- check it on ebay

[slimx]

went to a local mechanic to get it all done,costed me $400 no need to change gearbox, and no need to change clutch, he said that he put in something thatj ust converts cable to hydraulic so its not entirely hydraulic.

Its much smoother now id recommend ppl getting it, performance wise pretty much same thing.. except if your trying to dump the clutch lol its a bit slower lol so less burnots :P haha

[mooshie]

I dont quite follow.

You have a hydraulic box in your DA right? on what engine?

[A-man]

can we get some pics... i find this hard to believe.

ive been busy getting this ready

[slimx]

2001 GSi Engine? B18B..

1999 Gearbox.. i have no idea what model its just a standard one i believe off a dc2?
had it replaced a few months ago myn went. and a friend of myn suggested i find a way to get the clutch to work hydaulicly .. or sumfn so yeh googled around.. found its possible so i just asked the mechanic lol.

what should i take pics of?

[mooshie]

some shots of the front of the gearbox close to the front engine mount would be good.

You should be able to see a bracket or similar (depending on what was done) in between the radiator fan and the gearbox and mounted to the box itself.

[slimx]

between that theres been nothing donee at all .. i believe its the other way
closer to the .. car window between that theres a shock sort of thing ill take pics wen i can cbf atm its night lol

[A-man]

take a pic of the bay we should b able to c where the master cly is for the clutch. either way just show something

[Runt]

Hey guys..

Anyone know what I should be looking at for a drive in drive away b20 swap into a da9??
Non vtec & vtec.

[A-man]

depends where you are man. i think the kit ranges from $50-$400 bucks. depends how u wana do it and depends how resourceful you are.

im not sure how much work is involved with labour and i think alot of it you could do yourself

put the sandwich plate on, but the oil line on and block it off.
take the new head and get it drilled and tapped and cleaned for the new oil feed for the vtec.
wire in the vtec.
change the ecu
then get the mechanic to fit it all and connect the vtec feed upto you blocked oil line and it should b alot cheaper. if he doesnt have to do management etc.

however dont quote me but you may have to recess the valves on the piston which if you do may b alot more expensive.

i think you could look around 1k for something like that in labour

[Runt]

So that's with me supplying all the parts and ecu and prepin the head prior to getting it all fitted in.

[Runt]

Anyone know what power I'd be looking at with a B20? and a vtec B20?
What size exhaust is best for this engine?

[wkdteg]

hey guys... long time no post. Merry Christmas
ok so my water pump decided to shit itself a few months ago, and decided ide get to replacing it today. weve removed the power steering pump plus all of the ancilary belts. according to the manual, now we have to remove the crank pully to access the timing belt cover and the pump.
now were stuck... how the hell do you unbolt the pully? the bolt is attached to it, so everytime it rotates, the cam gears rotate etc...
weve tried using a compressor gun, but thats pretty weak.
any suggestions?
cheers

[chris_da9]

Hey guys,
My fuel pump has just died and i was wondering what you guys think would be a good replacement
Cheers Chris

[Ashwee]

Goss or walbro are your decent replacement units.

[A-man]

warlboro there easy to fit cheap and work well

[DA9]

I had to replace mine bout 2 months ago i used a walbro it was easy to install only thing was droping the fuel tank and putting it back

[chris_da9]

Hey guys took the fuel pump out but it still works when i tested it :S tested one of the relays under the dash it wasn't working so I replaced that now the fuel pump works when the key is switched to ignition but still won't start any idea's of what it could be ?

[Ashwee]

Check your main relay.

[A-man]

2nded

[stevo716]

hey whats the best injector size to go on a N/A application
ill be tuning it later too so yeh
fuel system all i got left to upgrade and since i broke an injector may be time to upgrade it
What you guys think??

[A-man]

mayb like a 390 or 440 man for what u have

[stevo716]

yeh and im running a 65mm tb and skunk2 im now and full 2 1/2 exhuast

[string]

Keep your stock injectors? I'm 95% sure they're the same size as the Type-R (235cc) which makes over 40% more power than the standard B18A (i.e. plenty of wiggle room).

[stevo716]

ah yeh cool,just wondering rele cuz we broke one so had to get new one anyway
bought a new stock one bout to put it in on and get the car started with the new tb and im :D

[slimx]

hey anyone got extractors?
just curious do they make a big difference? Worth buying?

and how much roughly in $$

[tseesinngwailo]

hey anyone got extractors?
just curious do they make a big difference? Worth buying?

and how much roughly in $$

Every car I have ever had, I changed the standard exhaust manifold, extractors generally make more power, better torque, and can add to the economy of a car.

You can pay anywhere from $150 and up to over $1000

I picked up the extractors off a racing Civic for my B16A in my DA9 (somewhere between $150 to $200 from memory), and they made a world of difference, but you should easily be able to find dyno results showing the difference.

Most factory headers are made with low cost and general running in mind, (cast ones are also quieter), so, make the change even on a B18A and you will notice,

Cheers
Chris

[slimx]

i gota b18b man, cant afford vtec or nothing.. just had an accident and what not to .. lol even less cash, i figured while im doing work on the car get a small mod for it to..
i got a CAI, Racing ECU? i dno someitnhg like that.., New Fuel Pump now just looking for that extra power.. and ive seen alot of the civics with extractors thouht id ask around about them.

When you say u paid $150-200 did that include labour?

[Chriskoss]

You can put em on yourself, just unbolt old exhaust manifold and bolt on new headers with the gaskets

ebay has some cheapy ones for the da9 integra for like 220

[slimx]

hm.. fair enough ill look into it wen i get the panel beating.. so u guys reckon its definately worth the money?

[stevo716]

im using the cheapy ebay ones, havnt had any probs with them performance wise, however all the chroming burnt off, so dont look the greatest, but performance there awesome

[string]

Did they bolt up to the cat like stock? How long have you had them in for? I am concerned about the material quality - I don't want to be welding up cracks.

I was planning on using the OEM B18A "headers" on my B20VTEC but the performance gain to price ratio of the ebay headers over the stock piece of garbage makes them mighty tempting for $220, especially considering they will fit with no crossmember mods.

Yeah mate they should bolt onto the cat stock, just make sure you either get the 90-91 specific header if you have the 90-91 da9 or 92-93 specific header if you have the 92-93 one obviously

With the more expensive headers, youll get a little more gain out of them as theyre like 1 or 2 peice but your not going to notice that much of a difference if you get the ebay headers, most of the difference lies in the materials used, as obviously ceramic coated headers will keep their finish longer while ebay headers are probably just steel, and will fade, but you can just coat them in that VHT pot belly black high-temp paint anyways

[slimx]

guys i need to find a place to repair my FRONT LIP (on my oem body kit) its broken into 2 pieces.. where do i go in sydney??

[Chriskoss]

Umm any body shop man, or you can fibreglass it, sand and paint it urself

[slimx]

for some reason none of the body shops do fibre glassing :S they only MAKE THERE own, i need a place that repairs existing ones..

[Chriskoss]

Im sure an auto body shop can fix it mate, just ask around, they do repairs on bumpers so why not lips

[slimx]

true true btw guys..

im wrecking an integra all thats missing at the moment is the Front Bonnet and Front Bumper.

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=126060

Hey guys just curious see the two interior lights up at the front near the rear view mirror. how do i OPEN that up to change the bulbs i wanna make'm LED's

And what kind of globe does it take?

Thanks.

[Spoon DA9R]

use a screw driver and peal the WHOLE cover off. its the same bulb as center one, with connection on both ends

[Runt]

G'day fellas.

My question today is again B20 related.

I've been doing abit of research and what I've found is, a bit contradictory in some ways....

In summary the b20a found in early (87) model preludes puts out 119kw whilst the b20b puts out between 104-109..... Found in the crv.
So which is a better starting point , by starting point I mean easiest hassle free swap into a da, with possible mods to go on later of course.
I'm lost ATM, most ppl go with the crv option but why?

[mooshie]

B20A is a completely different engine and not like the B series found in the integra/CRV/civic etc.

not a bolt in swap.

Little bit of info from AKMotorworks- http://akmotorworks.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=53&Itemid=81

[Runt]

Sweet.... All sorted....
Very helpful thank you.

[Jon_51]

Hi everyone ...
My gear box is dieing i suspect ... i get a weird screwed cv noise when i turn right, but only in second gear, and only turning right.
having said that are all ys1 gearboxes interchangeable? The clutch in my car is still pretty new. will I be able to put it in the next box i get? or is there a chance it won't fit?

[Super-DA9]

guys i need to find a place to repair my FRONT LIP (on my oem body kit) its broken into 2 pieces.. where do i go in sydney??
Holy shit man, I'm starting to think we may have had the same problem! If you are referring to the special optional OEM body kit for DA's that you hardly EVER see, I have the same one and I hit a wombat one night and lost my front lip too! I went all over the place to try get it fixed but everywhere said that because it was plastic and not fiberglass it would be too hard to fix and cost heaps.

:(

[slimx]

yes lol thats the one! and ive found a plcae $240 to fix includes paint.

[Ashwee]

Okay, who around here owns the burgundy (torino red) DA, with the OEM lip kit and black buddyclub p1/volk te37 style wheels? Seen it twice in about 2 weeks around ringwood/croydon.

[Super-DA9]

OMG dude i feel you're pain, lol. wow! whats the place? i'm very interested!

[slimx]

its in Sydney though.. if u come down we can get it done.

Its not like a shop shop lol ull see if ur planning to come down.

[Super-DA9]

ahhh well i'm gonna be going to sydney for powercruise, so maybe i'll have it done then? so whats the place?

hmmm i've heard of this too, but i've also heard that the CR-V is like 91% power to the front wheels, so i'm not sure how much of a difference it would make..? forgive me if i'm wrong, it's just what i read on team integra i think it was.

[A-man]

yeh man its true that it does fit its alot of work but it can b done

HOWEVER!!!!

the 4wd system in a honda doesnt work like a subaru or similar i surgest u look into how it works. and for the extra weight itll b a downgrade basicly when the front wheels spin itll try and drive the rear wheels at the same time

[stevo716]

hey aman, wats happened with the da website?

[A-man]

man its goin in for updates and a reinstall. it had heaps of fake members. so it needs a refresh i need to get in contact with the domain host tmrw and get them to give me the mysql details then ill have it up soon... sorry guys it didnt look like anyone was using it thats y i thought id do something with it tryin to get u guys back in ive got a few things i wana add into it and hopefully make it alot better

DA crew represent! Any of my fellow DA bretheren got a torino red or black bonnet they wanna sell me?

[exodus]

HAven't been in OZhonda for a long time, I realise i've missed quite a bit :p

Anyway, to those people who wants to change cable to hydro, just make sure you have space to mount the conversion kit. I did had some problems when i did a conversion last tiime. Thou i swapped a B18C R motor and gearbox. I posted some photos on the DA crew forum, if there is any unclear can PM me here or on the DA crew forum.

As for headers, if anyone is thinking of changing it, i reckon u get the aftermarket replacement for the lower crossmember (can't remember the name of the item) else most headers won't clear. (FYI, I was just using a JDM DC2 type R 4-1 headers.) Other alternative is you gotta muck around with the stock crossmember to clear the headers. If you choose to have the aftermarket replacement, you'll have to forgo 1 of the mounts, which is the front torque mount, so the choice is yours. I mucked around with the stock crossmember and its still good and replace all other engine mounts with innovative racing mounts. LOL, Idling = Vibration, hahaha..

A-man, remember the ride i gave you? LOL... a lil torque steer on 2nd... hahahhaa..

Oh yah.. anyone planning to do an engine swap? From B18A/b to B18C? I still have the mounts for them thou. LOL..

Hey,where does everyone shop for parts in OZ?
I'm after some headlights for the da but i dont want the ebay crystals.
Might have to check the wreckers i guess

[Spoon DA9R]

any local wreckers should have them
which state r u in?

[slimx]

i got my stock headlights, i wana get rid of them and get some black housing/angel eye/black housing projector ones.

I'm up for swaps.

[kosmo90]

Hi,im in WA.
I just went to one wreckers that wanted $250 per side :eek: Must've been new.

Sorry i can't do swapses,my current stock ones have both indicators cracked.But whim me if you wanna sell.

You are frorom WA? i was from WA too.. was driving a white DA with black tailgate.. if u had seen it before... now the shell is with A-man.. LOL...

As for the head lights ritee.. u can get it off ebay.. i got mine then at ebay for USD200.. the things is.. u mitee have to do abit of wire snipping.. cos the bulbs they used there are like HB4/5 (can't remember) and our headlights here uses H4H... not a biggie issue.. but troublesome.. cos u might need to source for the bulbs..

[kosmo90]

Iv'e been looking on ebay,but i dont want the crystal ones so that narrows the choices down a bit.
I have found a set tho,i'm trying to talk the price down a bit,seems he ships from Malaysia instead of USA.

hmm... thats weird.. the headlights i've got is from the US thou.. take a look in the da-crew forum.. look under my nick or thread "90DA with B18CR engine swap" take a look at my car photos.. see if those are the headlights u are looking for.. if it is just let me know.. i'll send u the ebay parts seller details.. fyi mine is not angel eyes.. just clear headlights with dark housing..

Oh yah.. if u gonna get head lights from the US rite... u mite have another small problem.. the lights will shine higher on the right, this is normal cos theirs are left hand drive lights points higher or the right vice versa for right hand drive.. u can align the lights to rectify but won't help much.. they stil shine higher on right... This occurs to me.. don't know if others had the same prob..

P.S. Anyone Needs aftermarket racing mounts? I have a set of 3 of innovative race mounts (Red Colour) and Innovative cable to hydro clutch conversion kit. :p

[kosmo90]

Hey Exodus,the forum button on Da-Crew just sends you to phpBB3????
Would like to see the lights though if you can give me the e-bay dudes details.

I only bought it a couple of months ago and it is pretty beat up,so body work first.
But i really want to keep it fairly standard as well,just lower it and put a decent header and intake on. I just swapped a set of altezza tail lights for originals at a car wash in Maddington lol.
I f***king love the thing,i dunno what it is.....

Can't really afford too much,the kids have always got there hand out wanting something or another lol.

Buuuut it has got 250,000 on the clock so if the motor decides to pop its clogs then i'll go for a quicker motor,someone told me that b20?? is the one that everyones after?? not sure,i'll look into it when the time comes.

But i really want to keep it fairly standard as well,just lower it and put a decent header and intake on. I just swapped a set of altezza tail lights for originals at a car wash in Maddington lol.
I f***king love the thing,i dunno what it is.....

Can't really afford too much,the kids have always got there hand out wanting something or another lol.

Buuuut it has got 250,000 on the clock so if the motor decides to pop its clogs then i'll go for a quicker motor,someone told me that b20?? is the one that everyones after?? not sure,i'll look into it when the time comes.

hmmm... b20 it self has torque but doesn't come with vtec.. unless u drop a b16 head in it.. else its kinda pointless.. wiring loom and harness would be an ass and mounts as well.. double check on the clusters wiring see if it will fiit.. but to be honest... better off to get a B18C type R like me.. hahaha.. u can be my successor.. LOLOL... 1 an only in perth.. there are a few issue that u'll need to headache which i can help u along the way if u wanna do a swap... not much of a biggie thou.. :) i had a hard tiime during my swap because there were some stupid issues that couldn't be rectiify.. that i had to go to some US DA forums to sort..

other than dat all is good.. consider looking for 2nd hand coilovers instead of using lowering springs.. :)

[kosmo90]

Thanks Exodus,you'll be the first person i speak to when it goes pear shaped.

As for springs,it had a set of king springs on but i just bought megan coilover sleeves/springs and im half way through lowering it (back done) to go a bit lower. I didnt want to spend more than i paid for the car on a set of full coilovers (1000) still need shocks but i'll wait till these crap out.

[Chriskoss]

seems like a waste of time..

r u gona get fluffy dice and 18 inch plastic chrome wheels too? oh dont forget nismo stickers and greddy/nos decals on your fenders for the +1000 atwkw yo.

keep it clean, chrome door handles are for 70's muscle cars.. not 4000 dollar hondas

[kosmo90]

Hey guys,does anyone know what the panel is called at the back between the rear bumper and tail lights? Just below the boot lid???
Looking to remove it and bash out a ding.
Thanks

[slimx]

@crhis
im not gona get fluffy dice.. if i was gona get it id say i would wen i suggest something dont make weird assumptions. Chrome wheels.. are not for me .. not my type. I like the JDM style wheels. I asked for opinions on chroming not for fkd up assumptions. Read before u type mate.

@kosmo
I believe.. being the only rear panel on a DA9 it should be called a REAR panel or maybe Flat Rear Panel?
Do u need help taking it out ? or.. like do u just want the name?

[kosmo90]

Yer i was trying to google some info on how to take it out but i guess its pretty straight forward.
Just take the boot lining out and go from there.
Cheers man

[A-man]

my intake sitting on my turbo and the battery is in the boot. you can see the intake on the side pic its just next to the rad. i cant move it

[bradess]

i need some honest opinions on what i should do with my car. i have already bought a new one.

i have a 92 DA9 in grey that is unregistered. it has been unregistered for a month now.
Problems
- CV joints are ****ed
- rust has been cut out and paint has been sanded and primed but looks like sh*t.
- no real body damage but there is a bit of paint damage from little collisions, weather etc.
- o2 sensor light is permanently on

It has a b16a engine in it. The body has 255***km's while the engine has approx 75000 kms.
I honestly dont think i could sell it to some1 unregistered, and if someone was to come look at it they would be let down big time by the primer, paint damage etc.

What are my best options? Part out or sell the engine? or just try sell it? I seriously can not be bothered with time or money to get the things fixed to register it.
Thanks in advance

[A-man]

where u from bro?

is it an LS or a XSI big diff if its a XSI
u should post some pics. if its got o2 sensor light its prob a XSI in that case dont part it sell it on because thats a jap import

[bradess]

its an LS. well im pretty sure it is thats what all the rego papers etc say. Im in Sydney.

and im pretty sure its the oxygen sensor light.. could be something else i will check tomorrow

[stevo716]

parting out probably sounds better, cuz ppl are always lookin for engines, if that engines has 75000, then someone will want it.

[bradess]

how much would i be looking at for the engine?

[stevo716]

not totally sure to be honest havnt gone round lookin for b16s haha soz, someone shud know though,

[exodus]

how much would i be looking at for the engine?

I bot a B18c type R for 5.8grand thou that comes with gear box. i have anothere fren who bot a B16A2 for 2.5grand which i think doesn't come with gearbox. You can work around that price range.

Here are the pictures of my car.



The condition of the car is still pretty alrite. But i do have 1 questiion.

Have u driven the car yet? as in tested the vtec? Based on the foto u've provided, i dun see the vtec solenoid. Could it be some one just change the rocker cover? How about engine number? Pardon me if i did make a mistake.

[stevo716]

thought the b16 rocker cover didnt fit on the b18a or any vtec rocker cover in fact

[exodus]

thought the b16 rocker cover didnt fit on the b18a or any vtec rocker cover in fact

thats what i tot too.. but i hearrd frrom ppl that Bseries covers are the same thru out...

and the vtec solenoid from the pic i can't seem to find it any wherre

[stevo716]

if thats so i so want a b18c rocker cover there so much sexier than b18a rocker cover

[bradess]

haha u serious mate ive had the car for 2 years.. definitely has vtec and b16a engine..

[bradess]

is this the vtec solenoid?

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g81/brades1/P2220325.jpg

[string]

Correct. The VTEC and non-VTEC covers are in no way interchangeable.

[A-man]

yeh the engine b worth a bit its a obd0 one so more then likely out of a ef8 it might have a lsd to. and its a cable clutch on the box there worth a bit over in WA. i duno bout over there but..

the car dont look like that bad condition i rekon ud still get a little bit of money for it

[stevo716]

if ur gearbox is lsd im interested in it hahaha

[bradess]

what does LSD mean? someone buy my car haha

[A-man]

limited slip diff

they make a big difference in the drive of the car. not to mention in cases like mine gettin power to the ground

[slimx]

it means BOTH WHEELS SPIN when u press the gas at all times.. good for burnouts lol.

where as standard diff .. is the ones that .. well both wheels get power.. but sometimes lets say whilst turning.. only one wheel will spin the other will jst roll lyk the rear wheels.

[stevo716]

good for traction i need traction lol,

if you cud check your gearbox it shud be written on it LSD, if it does i may buy it pending the price haha

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

If its a Cable box I might have interest..


inb4 mods see this

[slimx]

jst do a burnout lol check if both wheels spin turn the steering wheel left n right

[stevo716]

his cv joints are rooted thats not gonna help lol, u can maybe jack it up and have a mate hold the other wheel, if forces it to spin in the same direction u got lsd :D

[A-man]

or leave one wheel on the ground and turn the wheel off the ground if u can turn it its not got lsd if u cant or its really hard to turn u got it.

[A-man]

gave it its yearly clean yesterday after the test drive

i lowered the front not the rear yet

Hi everyone,

Wondering if anyone has put a hotter set of cams into thier b18a. Feedback? can only find info on the crower cams so far. Any other suggestions? stage one i'm thinking would be enough for what i want from the car but if the difference is only minor then i would consider stage 2.

thanks,

Reece

[Spoon DA9R]

wow..i've been away for a while and now so many more new guys!

Reece i would suggest you have a look at www.g2ic.com

a lotta the guys there stick with the b18a with aggressive cams.

[A-man]

ill b in syd next sunday guys for a few days


camtech make custom grind for out cams. and there quite cheap and can make it so u dont need diff valve springs etc. or even ecus worth a look man

i havent tried this but a b20b cam should fit and it looks like it would b a worthwhile upgrade.

[slimx]

scratch that found it, little black thing on the chassis of the car aye?

[stevo716]

yeh pretty much u shud be able to push it in and stuff, it usually rusts up and stops making contact mine did that, just wd40 wipe it up a bit worked nicely

[Spoon DA9R]

yeh..mine did that a while ago...took it out..sandpapered the bit of rust out and its fine again

[slimx]

just did it now lol it wasnt rusted or anything the wire behind it is cut.. and i cnat seem to find the wire lol -_-

[Spoon DA9R]

nah its in there, take the rear interior panels out and u'll find it, its just a little clip that plugs into the switch and its VERY lose, most likely it slipped and fell out.

actually if u get a wire and bend the end...stick it in to fish around..u mite be able to find the wire without tearing out the panels

[exodus]

[Super-DA9]

Hey guys I'm having some electrical problems with my DA and could really use some help. First one is my headlights every now and then while i'm driving will glitch (dim for a second or two and then go back to normal). I've heard that it can be caused by fuse or faulty battery, so I swapped my battery to one out of my other DA, and changed the fuses but it still does it. The next problem is that my fan has stopped working on settings one and two. I replaced the inner switch but still nothing. And my last problem is that sometimes I turn the ignition to start the car and it hesitates for a second before cranking, but only really when the engines cold. The first two problems appeared within the same week, and recently, but the starting lag has been happening for a while but it's not that bad, I should probably mention that when i put in a battery with higher CCA's it started great but after a few months it slowly came back.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

[Spoon DA9R]

sounds like your alternator is not working properly that could cause the lights to dim out...

at one point i was driving my car non of my lights work and even wipers werent working window won't close...i was driving in the rain to my mechanic to get it fixed...it was dreadful...

but not sure about the fan issue...

[X-ray Spex]

What can you do to a stock DA9 that will help it gain a bit more power or torque without turbo or supercharger? :)

[Spoon DA9R]

look a few post up...and you'll find the word CAMS
but before that intake...exhaust...tbh that does jack...lol
you can think about ecu
but if you want to keep it stock..don't bother...
Its annoying..but if you read from Page1, you'll find some useful info.
unfortunately our DA-crew site is still down but keep an eye out for it.
also visit www.g2ic.com

[X-ray Spex]

I dont wanna keep it stock....I just can't have a turbo as I am on my p-plates. The car just needs a bit more go and i will be a very happy man....but i will scour this thread for info....thanks :)

[Spoon DA9R]

thats simple, all the above i've mention

or, as many have done, engine conversion to Vtec and you'll have plenty more power.

[X-ray Spex]

How hard/costly is that? (Sorry I'm a huge noob)

[stevo716]

def, intake and exhaust(including extractors)
ull get a nice sound and you shud notice a power diff
ppl say engine swap, but i like our engines(b18a),
ive worked my engine, and id give a vtec run for its money

[Ashwee]

the fan not working on 1 and 2 means the little resistors in your blower motor have flown away. you can just find the springs and put them back in place, or replace the whole blower resistor, costs $30 from honda.

[slimx]

some1 here was building up a YELLOW DA who was it?

I been seeing this bright yellow da looks quite stock n very clean around AUBURN (west sydney)?? fkn looks nice lol.

Any1 here own it ??

[Super-DA9]

thanks guys, yeah i was talking to some of the guys at work today about the lights, they reckon the alternator. and cheers ash, i'll replace the blower motor then. luckily i have another da9 as a spare parts car i can rip these bits out of. ;)

[1990B18A]

Hey guys couple of q's. Done my b20 conversion runs smooth as after i got new cv's still have the comp light on dunno what that is yet. But bigger prob is i have what feels like backlash in my gb in the diff just when i go to take off it doesnt move for like .2 of a second and a bit of a bang. Then drive its got me ****ed im thinking of just geting a new gearbox and a hd clutch while im at it. I have a mate that builds gearbox's so im getin 1-2-3 straight cut. Only other thing it can be is i am using the b20 clutch. Any light u guys could shed would be grate. Oh and has any one pulled a gearbox out with out taking engine out ?

[A-man]

yeh man i had it in and out for a new clutch took me 8 hrs to do it and that includes the 2 hr drive to get the clutch easy job. u could prob jack the car up and feel the backlash my integra does it to but not much. i can only feel it when i have the car in the air.

[1990B18A]

yeah might give that a go tomoz because its getting worse

Hi guys, I'm looking at doing an LS/VTEC conversion to my B18a, I need a definitive list of all the parts/kits I need to get a hold of and some instructions on how to do it all. I know this has been brought up many a time in this thread, but every time I search ls/vtec (or lsvtec) nothing helpful comes up, it's just everything else BUT what I searched. So I'm not sure what's going on.

Can anyone possibly give me a link or something? Please?
