eg guy in a da9: love or hate?

hey all,

id like to share a lil story. on the weekend i went for a lil drive in a mates da9 teg, he just bought it as a daily, it was bone stock, minus jdm headlights and front bar, cheap 15s on it everything else was stock as. it was a auto, 300000ks on it. i was like yeah das r coo, dont know if id rock on tho. :rolleyes:

anyways we went for a drive round the place for like 1.5hrs. damn seats were comfy as!! i was loving it lol. the interior was so nice and seemed well thought out, i was so impressed. then he hit some corners and gave it some stick(i know an auto lol) anyways it went and handled so well.

i was damn impressed! i never thought i could WANT to drive a da9 but they have been put on my list of cars i might buy if i wrecked my eg. :D

u da9 guys have got a gem! lucky u! i reakon a da9 with some stiff springs and i/h/e would be a mad lil machine. gutted too of coarse ;)

anyways jist of this story, da9s r sweet!! i want one LOL well if i ever need another car they would certainly be on 'the list'

mad respect for da9rs :thumbsup:

here is a random pic i came accross today of a cool da:

not widely known for its drift characteristics, the DA9 doesnt mind getting sideways in the wet...

my step mother , used to whip my fathers ass in a DA up the old road and also the bulladellah pass YEARS before I was even thought of - he drove a old SAAB turbo so it wasnt much effort for the lil 1.8 tho !

I had a stack up on a twistie road thanks to a Blown tyre, I was going thro a sweeping right curve when I felt some sort of nock on the rear left, next thing you know I'm facing the oposite lane then I tried to straighten it back out to the left and the whole car did like a 50m slide facing the left hand side of the road and ended up in a ditch!

first reaction was to get my GF and my cousin out of the car coz I could hear a hissing sound like it was coming from a tyre or something, so we got out and a car drove past and asked if we were OK? soon after a couple that live up on a hill in front of the ditch we ended up on came out and gave us some blankets and asked how did it all happen? when I told the guy that I felt as if the tyre had blown, he said that the same thing had happen to him earlier that day on his 4WD! then the cops main conccern was if I had been drinking (which I wasn't) and soon after they called a tow truck to get the car out and to get it home, 1hr went past and my girl was feeling a bit dizzy and unwell so they ended also calling up an ambulance to check her out.

when that was happening the tow truck rocked up and pulled my car out, I was expecting it to be a full on later to the front sort of hit, but the only damage was done to the front left guard and the front bar was pushed back a bit, luky I was only going 60km/h if I was going any faster I rekon it would have been worse and I'm also luky not to hit another car or a tree or even a pole, the one thing that one of the cops said to me was: "what a shame its such a nice car, but looks like she held up very fine, also you're luky its lowered on its ass coz if it werent for that you would of had more chances of flipping it over"

we ended up geting home later that night at about 3am with the car on the tow truck and shaken but thanking God that it could have been worse!

Cheers!

I took the car out last night with my old wheels on, and it seems to ok no funny noises coming from underneath, just pulls to the left a bit but thats just an alingment job and it should be fine.

Should have seen the 1" gash on the tyre, looks like a big sharp rock sliced the tyre and made a bit of a gash on the rim too!

Bloody Pisseeeddddd offfffff but oh well it could have been worse! now all I wanto concentrate is on getting it back on the road and hopefully this time with a new paint job and maybe a body kit?

btw: I might open another thread with proper details and some pics of the damamge!

Chao!
