Wrecking Monster DA6

[Monster]

Selling My desmond regamasters in the for sale section.

Just put in on sunday some nolathane rear trailing arm bushes in the da6 cos the factory ones where gone burgers. Toke maybe 45mins to put them both in. The ride is just a we bit stiffer. Is it worth doing all my bushes in nolathane cos I can get 40% of rrp.

[spooner]

Definatly worth doing the bushes man. Just did all mine in the teg and made it alot stiffer. Are welcome to come for a spin in my car sometime and see for yourself

[Monster]

Sweet im keen as

[sunskreens]

I love this build monster. Car is looking awesome man, can't wait to see whats next in the pipeline

[Monster]

I hope to do a half cage next so I can do some hillclimbs in september.
And I need to get of my arse and put my b18cr hybrid in.
Still plenty more things I can do to the old girl yet

[Monster]

Just orderd new set of semi slicks for the da6 for trackday Toyo R888

[Monster]

After july 18 trackday the teg did me proud with great handling and good brakes that would out brake everyone and the LSD worked wonders. After having a awesome battle with illicit in his dc2 sir integra I found that he had a slightly faster straight line speed them my little b16a. So now I will put my time into geting my b18cr finished in into the da6.

Builds coming along very nicely!! Cant wait until you get the B18 in there.

..and the LSD worked wonders.

Good to hear. LSD is definitely going to be my next purchase...eventually.

Just went round places today looking at prices for full cage for the DA. They prices around the same 2k for a full 6point gage with side intrudtion bars. All fitted and with MANZ approved cages and log book. The workmanship was not even by no means. Petes customs was byfare the tidyest cage and welding and knew what he was talking about. I would like to see just a wee bit more amps cranked into the welds but thats just me. He cost a wee bit more then the others but Id rather have good workmanship. So Im saving hard to get cage.

Go see automotion they did my cage decent welds and tidy work, $1350 for it, http://nzhondas.com/forum/build-thre...tml#post969037

Was sposed to go right through to the struts and be a 8pt but the motor wasnt in the car so they didnt know if it would fit or not. They were only going to charge 1400 for a 8pt

Craig at Automotion has sold up to another guy, I went and saw him (new guy) and I wasnt happy with welding or design of cage.

Did it happen to be a guy that has been in england learning about cages for the last 12 months? I heard something about a guy had bought a race prep shop in town.

And bugger he sold up he still owes me a strut bar for the civic

Not sure I lost his card. Yeh Craig doing tig welding stainless now somewhere. Never thought Craig would give up like that he was real onto it guy with racecars and seemed to have a good future with his business.
Do you need front or rear strut brace. I mite have something lying around home.

Yeah when he did our cage he was really onto it, car was on blocks and then shimmed,chained to the floor to make the chassis exactly level and lots of laser levels to. Defienlty would recommend him if he was still going cages.

Thanks for the offer but i need to make one to fit where the cage comes through to the engine bay in the photos

hey man have you put your b18cr in yet? how did you get around wiring? I have the hole obd1 loom and im going to attempt to take dash out and replace the obd0 loom and chop and join speedo etc any words of advice or know of any hassles im going to run into? how are you going to do yours? the plugs have been cut that go to the ecu on the orig loom hence why i cant just use the obd0 loom

[Monster]

Na B18CR still sitting in garage. Still gota get type r throttle body and Ive been putting all my free time into setting car up for cornering hard on the track. I need to get onto the motor again. Im just running obdo ecu and loom, got a type r chip written for my ecu and gona tune with gizzmo cam-fc.
Good luck on the chopping loom, Its something I wouldnt wana do.
Hey does any1 know if I wanted to run a obd2 type r ecu n loom would I need to reloom th whole car like lights and tail light window wipers, Shit like that.

[Gudgen]

no. just the engine.

not even the engine. you'll just have to rewire the ecu end. easy as if you have the pin outs for both.

[Monster]

My mate has the pin in and out thing. How would you no where the wires would go on the type r ecu.

[ryan540]

look at the type r ecu pinout
