Someone correct me if I'm wrong..

that is right.. i think you need the deeper brackets.. from memory they are about 2 inches thick or more..

if you use the thinner ones... maybe 1 inch thick, when you instal the bumper it would look pushed in like youve had an accident

i read somewhere that you can get good power increase by getting bigger injectors, this true? and from what ive read you would need a chipped ecu as well...sorry im still learning bout engines so no clue atm

**stevo716** · 25-09-2010 01:19 AM

u usually only get bigger injectors when turboing , or running silly N/A things like porting allowing more air in so u need more fuel, plus u need to tune it
alone as a mod wont do anything

I just bought another DA9 today....

should I feel guilty? such a DA whore now!

not sure yet exactly what I am going to do with this one, it has a head gasket leak or cracked head or something, 1 dodgy CV, crunching gearbox and rear wheel bearings are gone, apart from that though it is all good!

couldnt go past a $700 bargain though, it even has rego for another 10 days!

tossing up whether I should replace the engine and box and fix it up a bit then sell or totally dismantle as a parts car. I am definitely taking off the hatch struts, taillights and interior to put on the other 2 cars but we will see what happens with the rest.

lol another nice series 1 or 2??
