Dedicated DA9 Q & A thread

HAven't been in OZhonda for a long time, I realise i've missed quite a bit

Anyway, to those people who wants to change cable to hydro, just make sure you have space to mount the conversion kit. I did had some problems when i did a conversion last tiime. Thou i swapped a B18C R motor and gearbox. I posted some photos on the DA crew forum, if there is any unclear can PM me here or on the DA crew forum.

As for headers, if anyone is thinking of changing it, i reckon u get the aftermarket replacement for the lower crossmember (can't remember the name of the item) else most headers won't clear. (FYI, I was just using a JDM DC2 type R 4-1 headers.) Other alternative is you gotta muck around with the stock crossmember to clear the headers. If you choose to have the aftermarket replacement, you'll have to forgo 1 of the mounts, which is the front torque mount, so the choice is yours. I mucked around with the stock crossmember and its still good and replace all other engine mounts with innovative racing mounts. LOL, Idling = Vibration, hahaha..

A-man, remember the ride i gave you? LOL... a lil torque steer on 2nd... hahahhaa..

Oh yah.. anyone planning to do an engine swap? From B18A/b to B18C? I still have the mounts for them thou. LOL..

Regards.

You are frorom WA? i was from WA too.. was driving a white DA with black tailgate.. if u had seen it before... now the shell is with A-man.. LOL...

As for the head lights ritee.. u can get it off ebay.. i got mine then at ebay for USD200.. the things is.. u mitee have to do abit of wire snipping.. cos the bulbs they used there are like HB4/5 (can't remember) and our headlights here uses H4H... not a biggie issue.. but troublesome.. cos u might need to source for the bulbs..

Iv'e been looking on ebay,but i dont want the crystal ones so that narrows the choices down a bit.
I have found a set tho,i'm trying to talk the price down a bit,seems he ships from Malaysia instead of USA.

hmm... thats weird.. the headlights i've got is from the US thou.. take a look in the da-crew forum.. look under my nick or thread "90DA with B18CR engine swap" take a look at my car photos.. see if those are the headlights u are looking for.. if it is just let me know.. i'll send u the ebay parts seller details.. fyi mine is not angel eyes.. just clear headlights with dark housing..

Oh yah.. if u gonna get head lights from the US rite... u mite have another small problem.. the lights will shine higher on the right, this is normal cos theirs are left hand drive lights points higher or the right vice versa for right hand drive.. u can align the lights to rectify but won't help much.. they stil shine higher on right... This occurs to me.. don't know if others had the same prob..

P.S. Anyone Needs aftermarket racing mounts? I have a set of 3 of innovative race mounts (Red Colour) and Innovative cable to hydro clutch conversion kit.

Hey Exodus,the forum button on Da-Crew just sends you to phpBB3????
Would like to see the lights though if you can give me the e-bay dudes details.

Thanks
