what does the OEM JDM cap look like? Mine had a replacement CPC cap that clicked as well but it didnt seal properly, pretty sure it was a replacement for a DA9. besides as you can see in the photo, the rim of the filer neck is actually separate and sealed with some kind of rubber/sealant that was all perished and coming out, you can actually see some of the seal on the flap in photo 2.
I guess my car is no longer fully genuine JDM :(
ugh, maybe mine is replaced, but doesnt leak tho
question, what is the red light in below the handbrake one?
its look like somethin overheating
basicly since i did my manual conversion that light stays on
also in general,
my car seems to overheat regardless of that light,
ive changed my thermostat, theres no leaks, radiator is fine, thermos turn on.
the car seems to overheat after bitof thrashin, if u start driving normally it cools down, so that wat makes me think radiator works,
if u stop it starts overheatin again..
im running out of ideas, gonna put my gauges in a sec to check if its the sensor but yeh
I doubt its the sensor as it is picking up a variable reading consistent with what you are doing.
Seems like the cooling capacity is reduced and hence it is overheating more easily.
Could be caused by-
Blockage in the airflow, easy to see and fix.
Air pockets or bubbles in the coolant, just do a proper bleed which I am sure you know how
Blockage in the coolant flow or radiator. These are old cars and even if this is its second replacement rad it could have some block by now.
You should be able to get it flow tested for pretty cheap at any radiator place, or just give it a reverse flush.
As for the light, I'll have a look tomorrow night but I think the one you are referring to has something to do with the emission control or O2 sensor.
yeh ill try what u said, lol we broke somethin else on the cooling system so need to get that replaced, where the blled valve is,we actaully broke the metal its attached to
idk how but yeh
as with the sensor, wud it be somethin todo with that extra sensor we have on the exhaust cuz, i accidently pulled that out lol....
car still ran so didnt think much of it
anyone got most of the plastic panels they dont need? =]Quote:

Yeah probably is that other sensor. The JDM B16 has 2 O2 sensors.Quote:

One had the plastics in the back and interior last week....
On another note, my brothers DA9 is nearly complete, all work done by me in the shed, cuts and all! LS/VTEC (B18A bottom P30 CTR pistons, ARP bolts, GSR head)
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...-VTEC-build-up
nah i dont drop out of vtec, it just has no torque lolQuote:

i must be a granny driver lmao...
yeh i rev to 8k and short shifter and i can shift pretty well lol
short ratio will be goin in with my b18a which i shud have in there in a month with few other goodies on it :P
ill post the pics as i work on it
Hey Guys. I have a 1990 DA9 that literally just clocked over 100,000 genuine kms. Im interested in knowing if there are any other DA9's that have kms this low or lower? From my brief search on carsales etc, it seems I have way less kms than any other for sale. (I bought it from a wealthy elderly man who had other vehicles, he hardly ever drove it)
good buy, i guessQuote:

Yeah most of the da9s ive seen on carsales have got between 250-300,000 kms. What motor did u put in?Quote:

personaly i dont care to much about kms, the car is old so you have to expect high kms
any DA9s been up against EK4s EM1s etc etc B16s. Howd you go?
yeh, i can beat em, but im not stock lol....
hey guys is this authentic and cheap?? worth it?

Might wait for a couple of reviews before I get myself a set but they do look the goods.
http://cms.skunk2.com/id/634/90-93-I...es-Camber-Kit/
Damn they look good. Might get them for when I overhaul my sussy on the new teg I am getting tomorrow
Quick trivia for you guys
Is it worth paying $2,850 for a :
- 90 model teg
- good burgundy paint, paint is still glossy on 90% of the car
- only few dings and minor rust bubbling in rear 1/4 windows both L + R - no major dents/scratches
- 202,000 kms
- apparent changed timing belt at 200,000 but no way of knowing
- 6 months rego
- cold aircon and not very bumpy/rattly when driving
- clear revs check and vehicle history report
- Car's stock standard with OEM honda sound system (not lowered, no exhaust, standard air filter)
Bad point sare :
- the central locking doesnt work
- no service history
Thanks guys
Oh and, what DA Integra specific things should I look for when test driving her one last time before I hand over my hard earnt (borrowed) cash lol
<3 you all DA owners
i like this alotQuote:

$2850 for a da9 is pretty pricey IMO
ok, wow just looked on carsales
our cars are still worth $2000+? lol
sorry, my oppinion was given because of the last 2 da's that ive purchased
1 was $500 with shit exterior but neat interior
1 was $1100 with immac interior good motor, but keyed all round
so yea after looking at carsales, $2850 is not bad
a DA in good nick should still go for up to 4k, there are heaps that go for under 2 but they all have something wrong with them.
Couple of things to look at-
Take oil cap off and see if it is clean in the head
Trailing arm bushes
See if the air con etc belts are new, this would give an indication of the timing belt being done, should also be able to see if the valve cover has been removed, look for new gasket goo next to the camshaft seals
Check brake master cyliinder for leaks
Gearbox/driveshafts
Engine mounts
Tie rod and upper/lower front end ball joints
Wheel bearings
Steering rack
Dampness in passenger footwell
Meh, that's all I can think of now.. Just woke up (sad that this is the first thing I do...)
Central locking actuators are easy to test and replace if need be, pain if it is a deeper electical problem but unlikely.
Thanks Mooshie
My white da9 was sold ages ago, but I miss them and want another
I thought about the DA for 2850 but decided not to get it as the interior was a little old and the central locking was not working.
Found another 90 model on carsales for 3100 with only 147,000 kms and log books, so I might go check out that and another one before I decide
The guy wanted me 2 put a deposit of 300 on it on the day, im like uhh I only got 100 and hes like nah 300 ay Im like for what reason a deposit's a deposit, hes like umm reasons.. Made me kinda suss
Also 1 more question
I can't remember if my old DA did this but do you guys get a burning rubber smell in the motor after a drive? when i test drove it I could smell burning rubber or oil, which obviously if burning oil means oil leak onto exhaust etc but I couldnt find any leaks
what else could it be
can anyone explain this, i was rolling my da down the driveway (engine off and in neutral) and a humming sound started to come from the brakes at the back on the right side, i stopped the car from rolling but the humming went on for a while? also i sometimes hear the same thing when i drive so does anyone know what it is?
thanks
hand brake might be on a lil
take ur wheel off and spin it
see if u hear anythin
or ur rotor might be warped
could be the stone guard or something rubbing and then when the car stops it still has a vibration and therefore noise in it?
it is the thin piece of sheet metal behind the brake rotor, just a guess though as I cannot think of anything else. Weird that it would do it when the car isnt moving
ahhk cheers, nah wouldnt be rotors they were machined pretty recently so yeah maybe the rotor guard or hand brake which is pretty loose atm
hey guys with the da9 when i drive the car it feels like the car struggles (when accelerating) like it kind of vibrates im not sure of the problem but maybe i needs a new clutch
sounds fuel relatedQuote:

if ur giving it, itll just rev when ur not accelerating
hrmm fuel filter could be
how much do fuel filters go for these days? i might need to replace mine too
actually my issue is more like im going at crusing speed on 5th gear and when i shift down to 4th or third and give it the beans (only to overtake or whatever) i dont get any real power until i go past 4kRPM then it starts building up power like normal.
I dont think this is normal and it feels verry sluggish, though ive never driven any other DA9 before but any other car ive driven will be able to pick up speed and RPM at and constant so something is bugging the crap outta me that its not really pulling.
im starting to think the car has no gentleman vegetables anymore...
das dont rele have much accel speed in 3rd or 4th
cuz of the gearboxes
check ur timing as well tho
clean your injectors and change your fuel filter
yeah i was actually thinking it may be the injectors and the fuel filter...
have u guys seen this on ebay what you guys reckon http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FRONT-CAMBER-...ht_3959wt_1139

ive spent so much on my b18a anyway
cbf workin on this one
ok let me know i might buy it off ya one day for my mrs and chuck a turbo in it run stock internals run low as boost for the fun of it
think it needs a head gasket, id do a ls vtec
use the b16 head
and find b20 block
the gen1 b16 block is a piece of shit lol
is it that bad? wonder why my friends one doesnt go no where but my mates crx b16 chomps pretty good
its alrite lackin torque,
i got the wrong gearbox on it too, lol
but yeh i prefer my b18a hehe i miss it :(
plus i think vtec overrated
the engine is also got 280000km on it lol
so its kinda tired
ahhaah lol hrmm man your makin me think twice like i should keep my mrs b18a, what else should i do, i wanna do suspension for her lower it on rims, any preferred suspension for the da
b18a if u wanna spend alot on it, ur mechanically minded and dont spend on labor
ive done the wrok myself with a mate.
i dont recommned workin this engine rele, but i just wanted somethin different.
just do ur I/H/E, i reckon
rims and lower and itll look sweet
umm im runnin koni yellows, adjustable damper, i like em :)
bought a grand for the lot new, and im runnin eibach springs, decent height, its def lower,
its a lil weird i used to tuck on the old car, now i dont :S
exact same suspension lol
im gonna dump my car soon enough on the skunk2 springs i got, there pretty low
but yeh i recommend konis there awesome, if u can find some used ones there alrite
if u just want lower and dont rele care bout handling as much
i had skunk2 springs on standards shocks made a decent low.
i care about suspension but for the mean time im gonna try the kings springs that i bought for 70 bucks
