Hey Guys. I have a 1990 DA9 that literally just clocked over 100,000 genuine kms. Im interested in knowing if there are any other DA9's that have kms this low or lower? From my brief search on carsales etc, it seems I have way less kms than any other for sale. (I bought it from a wealthy elderly man who had other vehicles, he hardly ever drove it)

I am pretty excited.....

after years of waiting looks like Skunk2 have finally released the camber arm specific to the DA! I am embarking on a full suspension overhaul soon and looks like these are out at just the right time. no more crappy EBay arms.

Might wait for a couple of reviews before I get myself a set but they do look the goods.

Damn they look good. Might get them for when I overhaul my sussy on the new teg I am getting tomorrow
Quick trivia for you guys
Is it worth paying $2,850 for a :
- 90 model teg
- good burgundy paint, paint is still glossy on 90% of the car
- only few dings and minor rust bubbling in rear 1/4 windows both L + R - no major dents/scratches
- 202,000 kms
- apparent changed timing belt at 200,000 but no way of knowing
- 6 months rego
- cold aircon and not very bumpy/rattly when driving
- clear revs check and vehicle history report
- Car's stock standard with OEM honda sound system (not lowered, no exhaust, standard air filter)

Bad point sare :
- the central locking doesnt work
- no service history

Thanks guys

Oh and, what DA Integra specific things should I look for when test driving her one last time before I hand over my hard earnt (borrowed) cash lol

<3 you all DA owners

wheres your white da9?
last i remembered you needed a steering rack?
i just got my steering rack re-conditioned and converted to no p/s (different gears to make steering lighter) for less than $300
$2850 for a da9 is pretty pricey IMO

[espionage85]

ok, wow just looked on carsales
our cars are still worth $2000+? lol

sorry, my oppinion was given because of the last 2 da's that ive purchased
1 was $500 with shit exterior but neat interior
1 was $1100 with immac interior good motor, but keyed all round

so yea after looking at carsales, $2850 is not bad

[mooshie]

a DA in good nick should still go for up to 4k, there are heaps that go for under 2 but they all have something wrong with them.

Couple of things to look at-
Take oil cap off and see if it is clean in the head
Trailing arm bushes
See if the air con etc belts are new, this would give an indication of the timing belt being done, should also be able to see if the valve cover has been removed, look for new gasket goo next to the camshaft seals
Check brake master cyliinder for leaks
Gearbox/driveshafts
Engine mounts
Tie rod and upper/lower front end ball joints
Wheel bearings
Steering rack
Dampness in passenger footwell

Meh, that's all I can think of now.. Just woke up (sad that this is the first thing I do...)

Central locking actuators are easy to test and replace if need be, pain if it is a deeper electical problem but unlikely.

Thanks Mooshie

My white da9 was sold ages ago, but I miss them and want another

I thought about the DA for 2850 but decided not to get it as the interior was a little old and the central locking was not working.

Found another 90 model on carsales for 3100 with only 147,000 kms and log books, so I might go check out that and another one before I decide

The guy wanted me 2 put a deposit of 300 on it on the day, im like uhh I only got 100 and hes like nah 300 ay Im like for what reason a deposit's a deposit, hes like umm reasons.. Made me kinda suss

Also 1 more question

I can't remember if my old DA did this but do you guys get a burning rubber smell in the motor after a drive? when i test drove it I could smell burning rubber or oil, which obviously if burning oil means oil leak onto exhaust etc but I couldnt find any leaks

what else could it be
