whats the thoughts on body kits? im considering putting one on but not real sure yet what i want to do
Up to you.It's gonna be fibreglass,it's gonna crack and might not have good panel gap and fit depending on the panelshop and the quality of kit.
Personally not really worth it.They look good already but thats me..
Just need sensible lowering..
Im wanting to put a b18c2 in my da9 but im finding hard to get conversion parts like mounts a harnesses n all that. anyone recommend me any good places to get this stuff?
surely somewhere in america would stock all the stuff u need. the americans go nuts for da9. ps, i like the idea of this thread. not going for engine conversion or turbo myself yet, already got i/e, getting headers soon, prob lightened flywheel, no idea where to go from there
Hasport and Innovative are two big names in engine mounts in the US. Personally I'd go Hasport because I know of their outstanding reputation and quality products.Quote:

i think i saw the american ebay having some...
yeh i looked at a few american da9s with front mounts and they use stock front bar and they look good so i mite just follow with that and fix the stock rear bar and lowering of course...
i think if ur just goin for a n/a b18a you could look at cams, injectors, lowering engine bay temps, im not 100% sure but i think you could get a gain from water injection on it but im not sure.... (i know for a fact its good for turbo/supercharged cars).
head work port and polishing bumping the cr up. theres alot you can do (even lightening the body will help (no interior etc.))
(but if your like me i dont like gutted interiors for the fact of it doesnt feel comfortable if you catch my drift.)
you could also look at a supercharger if you dont like turbos.
i dont kno if anyones tried it but holding hand brakeys in da9s is really easy, ive got it down pat now :)
You use your existing b18a1 mounts. Just have to swap the engine sides over.Quote:

On another note, got a super rare OEM optional front lip for my da just yesterday. needs a lil work before i get it on though... keep posted!
Nice, where'd you get the lip from?
CLINT..lets get the lips!
btw...i'd love to meet up..but then...the engine is too slow..and i got a few more mods up my sleeve..so mite wait a bit..and JOEY....u ain't even in aust...talk about it when u r back!
btw..my handbrake light keep staying on...can someone tell me why before i rip everything open?!?!
top up ur brake fluid. i got the lip second hand from an ozhonda member, discussed it at the da cruise we had (benefits of going on the cruises lol) and bought it on monday. need to get a little plastic welding done, but only minimal and then colour code and itll be sweet
ps for those who dont know this lip, this is what it looks like fitted http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/4...100IbuWzJwycMV
