If you are going to do all that then you might want to go the whole hog and do the swap properly-

This is NOT just a bolt on swap, if you bolt on then you will have camber issues that cant be corrected by just a simple kit, lowering does help a lot though

So disappointed, my DA9 failed roadworthy for the second time. First time there was a shitload of issues, this time there are two:

A clunking noise from the rear end. This might actually have been tools in the spare wheel compartment moving around, otherwise it's probably bolts torqued incorrectly.

Other one is a perished 'linkage' bushing from the rear suspension, I'm guessing this is the pivot bushing connecting the LCA to the chassis. I'm going to get all of the LCA bushings pressed out because I don't want to spend 12 hours of my life burning the rubber out and then hacksawing the shells, anyone know a machine shop in the SE suburbs of Melbourne?

Need to buy another fscking unregistered vehicle permit too...

ok so i need to keep the rear trailing arms from the ITR, and use the DA rea hubs?

appreciate it heaps

i tried searching specs of fuel pumps, but couldnt find anything
would i benefit if i instaloled a dc2r fuel pump in my DA?

[slimx]

Hey guys u know headlights with the angel eyes, HID bulb black projectors. and they have a hump on the high beam.

Just wondering any of you know what kind of HID BULB it uses?

nope just bolt the whole rear on. it will change the offset slightly i believe, as the DC2R has a slightly wider track (hubs sit wider)

fronts are the harder part.

Also- you only need a fuel pump if you are upgrading to much higher power or the pump is getting old and cant push the pressure anymore.
