who?

where did you manage to pick that up from? pretty awesome score, looks like all 8 pieces and all in good nick too.

I paid $500 for my full kit about 3.5 years ago but it has a couple of fixable cracks in the front bar. Some day I'll actually get around to fitting it.

Still jealous, another kit would look good on the 6..

well my car is for sale...............

Picked it up from the wreckers. When I went in to get the blower motor, I asked about a new front bar and they told me they had an optional front lip that was later revealed to be the whole kit! The boss said they'd bought about 150 DA9s, and only 2 had theoptional kit.

There's really only 1 crack that's on the rear lip but it's underneath, although some mounting hardware and a few clips are missing from here and there.

I don't suppose anyone wants to trade their Torino Red kit for this, otherwise I'll just paint it!

Given that I have no room for another car and it is just a head**** to buy from interstate, I thought I would be kind and disclose what is up on carsales at the moment-
http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...5105&silo=1011
pretty cheap even if just for the engine! if anyone does decide to buy it I would be interested in parts....

pretty low k's
ive done fair bit of maintenance on mine now
and just manual converted
the engines rnt great
blocks is almost like the b18a
no girdles or anythin so wont handle high revs
pretty mild vtec cams as well

and wat parts u need?

**mooshie** · 06-01-2011 07:11 PM

Its not about what I need, its about what I want

slim side bump strips, climate control etc, rear control arm, under hood lining, and more!

Having said that i have better things to spend money on at the moment, so hence not buying this car

Edit: just realised that the Auto B16 listed only revs to 7700rpm according to the tacho in the pic, My 6 goes out to 8000rpm, I didnt know that there was a difference with the autos?

**stevo716** · 07-01-2011 10:54 PM

the tacho it self goes to 9, and it redlined at 7200,
just put my manual in and new ecu
i redline at 8 now xD

Just for info there are two DA9's at the Northern Rd wreckers between Windsor and Penrith. One is pretty much complete metallic grey, the other is fairly stripped out white, got the steering rack out of it today.
