Dedicated DA9 Q & A thread

[jeff_inauen]

ohh yea my bad, dc5 i meant..

you have the 5 stud conversion dont you?

i was thinking about that also, 5 studs have better wheels lmao..

but if its to expensive i think ill just leave it as it is with slotted rotors and good pads

[Spoon DA9R]

yeah i got the 5 stud then bought new rotors and pads and hub barring for it...and i did a lazy fit still gotta fix it up to get better camber in the front...

it does cost quite a bit...but that will give you extremely good brake balance...on my first DA i had spoon calipers from dc2r fitted in...excellent braking power however i lock up all the time as the the brake bias is too much and the back can't handle it, hence i did the 5stud this time around...

i wouldn't say you have better wheels with 5studs...there are some nice wheels for 4 studs too...

the 5stud conversion with rims all up was a bit over 2k...was going to go back to 4 stud..but i'll just loose too much money...

hey any one got a bonnet for a da,
preferably gun metal grey but if not dont matter,
also are series 1 and 2 bonnets diff??

basically working on getting the engine cooler, like that stuffs going, gonna try coating the extractors, ive got a thermal gasket inbetween intake head
im running mugen thermostat and fan switch,
but yeh thinkin of some sort grill change to the bonnet maybe.. but yeh if i can get a cheap bonnet ill experiment with this

[jeff_inauen]

yea wow, just over 2k??
ill stick with the 4 studs.. lol
anwyays, i got a quote back from my mechanic
4 rotors came to almost $600!!!

so i ordered the brembos from the states,
smart me, i read the sale after ive paid, and came to the conclusion that they are not brembos, (well i dont think they are) lol
ahhh well, ill see in a couple of days, when i get them,, or if i get them

[A-man]

are they cross drilled and slotted? off ebay?

if so there brembo rotors however there brembo BLANK rotors, the company you buy them off simply put the cross drilled and slots into them. ive seen them in person they seem to b fine and they look good to

[jeff_inauen]

anyone know what would be needed to replace my b16 block with a h22a block in a da? engine mounts im presuming being a h series, but what about other things with the engine fitment?

[jeff_inauen]

im also interested and how much it would cost

[reece_306]

ohh and the guy i baught it off told me it had a lil interior leak under the dash,
i figured i knew the problem, n i was right..
the drains in the guards were completely blocked with leaves n shht..
so thats why i removed the bar n guards..

I've got the same issue. Where abouts are these drains located? can i get at them without taking the guards and bar off?

Cheers,

Reece

1st go to Honda and order qty 8 of part number 91608-SJ6-003. It is a small white rubber seal. They cost about $ 2.50 each 2nd remove the wiper arms and the wiper motor cowl. The wiper cowl is the long black panel under the wiper arms. Pop out the black circles and unscrew the white clips. You may also have to pull out the plastic pins under the rubber seal on the firewall side of the cowl. The panel is cumbersome. Use caution not to break the ends near the hood hinges. After you remove the cover there is another black cowl on the passenger side. This cowl covers the passenger cabin air intake. The leak is coming from the black plastic push screws that hold that cover on. When you remove the cover you can see the seals in the holes that the push screws were in. The rubber seal dry-rots over time and the sides split open. Water leaks in one drop at a time and adds up quickly. Once you have replaced the seals you should be leak free for another 9-10 years.
