Dedicated DA9 Q & A thread

[EKVTIR-T]

Any DA boys in Melb. got a spare working condition blower fan resistor? Mines fried and Honda wants $67 for new

After further searching I found a DIY repair for only a few $ by replacing the 3 individual resistors rather than buying a whole new part from ripoff central

LO - M1 = 2.2 Ohms
M1 - M2 = 1.5 or 1.6 Ohms
M2 - HI = 1.0 Ohms

Will probably be of use for others sooner or later as its a common fault apparently

So I'm currently in the process of putting my 89 LS integra no the road, and I have run into some issues with rear bushes. I need some rear inner lower trail arm bushes, rear lower control arm bushes, inner and outer, and some sway bar D bushes. So far no one in my area can provide me with these items. Can anyone point me in the right direction where I can get these items quickly!

Not sure what you mean by 'inner lower trailing arm bush' I assume you are just talking about the big trailing arm bush.You will need to be prepared to pay a lot if you want them quickly and for that, Honda would probably be the quickest. Although if you can find a DA/DC set in good condition just swap the whole thing! The sway bar bushes you should be able to get polyurethane from any suspension place, they are fairly generic just need right size. Control arm bushes are the same as DC Integra items and a coulple of traders on here do them in a few different forms. Or, you could just get a whole aftermarket arm.

Another option is to just get a Energy Suspension or Prothane kit from the US.

BTW- would help to know what 'your area' is...

Hey guys,

I have a few question / problems that I need your help to point me in the right direction.
1) Firewall leak, have anyone fix this problem before with OEM parts?
I've been living with the leak for almost 3 years (the worst is during winter), and now decided to fix it for my own good.
Can anyone please provide me with a shop/link which we can get the parts below? (how much did it cost you?) Or I will need to look for it from USA?
The parts listed are:
8 rubber seal 91608-SJ6-003
6 CAP-SCREW ASSEMBLY 91501-SK7-013
7 LOWER RIVETS 91511-SK7-003 (not really needed, but good to change all in one go)
8 CLIP SCREWS 90657-SA6-003

2) My rear window demister failed (similarly, for almost 3 years, maybe longer). Have anyone fixed this before? Do I need to modify the ICU?

Hope you guys can help me out. Thanks a lot

Not sure where to purchase locally but if all fails,
http://www.oemacuraparts.com
should have it all.

I did this job last year on the 6. Pretty sure the parts are relatively inexpensive even from Honda, would probably be cheaper to get from the US but whatever for a few dollars. You only actually need to replace 2 on the driver side and 4 on passenger side, the others don't drain into that wrong spot.

And yes, fix the ICU, G2IC has a write up but can't find it at the moment

Mooshie, I'm in Geelong, Victoria. I'm only dealing with what the clowns at the RWC place write on the list not to mention the non helpful people at Autobarn here. Pedders apperantly have some kits..The aftermarket control arms don't had the sway bar attachment so not sure how it would handle if I went down that path.

[mooshie]

Ah fair enough, not sure on anywhere that could assist around the Geelong area sorry...

All aftermarket control arms that I have seen have holes for the sway bar? Might just have to get different endlinks to make it all work though, TBH if you take off the arms yourself, the bushings should only cost about $10-20 each to get swapped over, most auto shops should have a suitable press. Lot cheaper that way.

[d-train]

Your right Mooshie, I'll have to modify the end links to make it all work. Honda quoted me a ridiculous price for the control arm bushes, and so far the best price I can get is around the $120 mark for the 4 I need. So the aftermarket ones are looking pretty good right now. Also has anyone fitted S2000 seats in a DA9?

[menacer]

[Rayle]
