I've never heard of it before and I've read most things about the da9 at one stage or another over the years. just kinda hoping that someone else has been through it.
on a more interesting and completely unrelated note: I just rebuilt my b18a1 (fried rings, head gasket blew, bent a valve, one of the rocker arms was sitting beside where it should have been!) apart from the aforementioned hicup, the car is running great. I never new the b18a1 used the same big end bearings a b16 crank. still running it in for the minute, so haven't really hung it out at high rpm's for any extended period of time, but I must say having all the ponies back in the stable has put a smile on my face. it reminds me of when I bought my first DA with 90k on the clock. next up I'll have to put some dollars into neatening up the body work.. after a drive through the mountains yesterday, I can confirm that it goes, stops and corners as well as I'd hoped.
