is there a company that is aftermarket or OEM replacement that I can order a new wiring harness for my DA9 or would i need to find a parts car and hope for the best. Let me go back about 5 years, I bought my DA9 in the winter of 2009 early 2010 and I enjoyed driving her like none other, well after about 4 months the clutch went out I had no money to fix her, well I wound up getting an offer for her from a guy for $2500 and a 2003 polaris predator 500 that had some goodies, well I took the deal, well he decided to sell it to the scrap yard after he couldn’t get it running, a kid that I went to school with bought it and never got the ignition/door key for it, and decided to rip apart the column to start it, I told him that I still had a spare set of keys incase the quad was stolen, well he proceeded to “modify” the car and pretty much destroyed it. Well I found out about 2 weeks after him putting it up for sale that he sold it to another guy who wanted to build it. Mind you this all happened in 6 months, well fast forward to the spring of 2012, I came across the old registration for my DA9 and started thinking about my old car. The only details I had were that the kid that I went to school with sold it to a guy about 2 1/2 hours away from me and supposedly the guy got caught street racing and the car got crushed, well then it started, I put an ad out on craigslist looking for it using the only pictures I had and within just a couple days I had a lead on my car that I thought was long gone, I got the guys number and called him and chatted for about 3 months about the car. To my surprise he still had it, well I took $2000 with me to go get my car back, well I show up and he didn’t want to sell it, after talking to him for about 3 hours in person he saw how bad I wanted my car back and I bought it back for $1200. Fast forward to the spring of last year, I wound up taking out 3rd gear and blowing a lower radiator hose which blew up the b18a1, I have a new transmisson for it and am working on getting a new motor. I started looking at the wiring under the dash board and it is all cut up. So I’m looking for the main harness I guess is what you would call it. I know you guys are really good with these cars and any help you guys give me I would greatly appreciate it.
michigan i see haha. i think you can get a harness from ryewire but i feel like those are a bit different from stock. i think they are usually used for tucked bays and i’m not sure if all the pins and connectors are the same as a stock harness. so i’m gonna say your best bet is going to be to try and find a used unhacked harness in a junkyard or ebay. maybe someone else can offer some advice?
also, what year is your car? i found this link for a harness on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1993-Acura-INTEGRA-Engine-Wire-Harness-OBD1-M-T-5speed-Complete-UNCUT-RARE-1992-/111540106631?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19f84ef587&vxp=mtr sorry for link and double post. just trying to help you out
jalenda9 yes I’m in Michigan, I’m also a former native of Port Huron, I had the primered 1990 DA9 with a b18a1/5 speed, I always had it down at the races on 69 and Griswald, it also used to be parked at Bell Tire on 10th and Lapeer when I worked there, and it’s all good with the double posts, I would rather take the time to read it then to see any sort of bitching and have an admin shut down my post.
Why don’t you post this in the Want To Buy forum? There are always people parting out cars. You could also hit up your local salvage yards and Craig’s list. There are re always people trying to sell rolling shells on my local Craigslist.
haha dude no way thats crazy theres only 2 second gen integras in port huron that i know of. one is a db2 and then its mine thats crazy though. i got a captiva blue pearl thats got the stock b18a1/5speed its pretty much stock except exhaust. its a dc catback i’ve never seen on a da. it’s just like an oem one but polished
@jalenda9: That link u posted looks like the main harness from the engine compartment to me. I think the OP said “under the dashboard”. I think I kept that one from my parts car, so if he posts in the WTB section with a model year, there is at least one around, LOL. And btw, yeah in the Midwest there are not many of us left now. I was pleasantly surprised people in the south and in California are keeping them alive.
yeah mybad haha…giving out wrong information. lol. but yeah man it’s funny no one seems to know what my car is. when i just say a it’s a honda instead of telling someone about it who doesn’t care, they are always like" you have a honda?" even though they seen what my car looks like.
also to op, i live off of 10th and division! i drive by bell tire all the time and i know where 69 and Griswold are. i’ve always heard about races around there but i never went to confirm that.
yeah it gets nuts over at the gas station after the cruise, I’m surprised you never saw my car in town back in 2012 when I was rolling around, these are a couple pictures from when I lived in PoHo ( if they upload), and I have tried my local j/y here and without going down to Detroit or the surrounding areas down there I can’t get a harness, but I’m not going to waste $5, plus gas both ways and a whole day trying to find something that may be cut, if you get what I’m saying. because with being out by flint it’s at least a 2 1/2 hour drive 1 way to even take a look because the j/y’s in Detroit are rude when you speak with them on the phone even when their stuff is inventoried and it’s only a key stroke to see if they have it or not.
i hear you man. yeah i didn’t have my license in 2012 i was only 15 back then but im almost 18 now though haha. believe it or not i pretty much grew up in flint with my mom,brother,sister and grandparents. i bought my car from a guy off of corunna Rd. about a year ago and its changed some with my 17 year old budget lol. i’m planning on picking up a b18b1/a1 and trying to build it for boost. he lived in a trailer park called lakeview estates. also i can see in the second pic of your car at the gas station that meijer on the north end. i’m always over there dude haha
yeah I used to live in indian trails north trailer park, and yeah that picture was taken the night I slammed it on 4" coilovers, I used to remember a kid rolling around in a red hatch, and a guy over on 10th had both a barney purple 94 gsr that he was going to build and a teal green 93 gsr that he bought built from out of state, hell PoHo is a 2 hour drive east of me now, I want to get my DA running again and come out there and see some old friends, I used to fight for Jamie Forton and AFC out there
what do you mean by fight? haha thats crazy man. was it an ek hatch if so i see that dude around all the time. i saw him today lol. but yeah man, it would be cool to see another da out here in poho. no one really likes hondas here besides me and my brother haha and a few others
yeah it was a red ek hatch, and eventually I would like to start bringing my DA back out there, and by fighting I mean MMA
ahhhh gotcha. yeah i see him a lot. he always revs at me haha. but when you said fighting i thought you meant like a fire fighter. my dad used to be one lol and they always referenced fighting as the type of work they did haha
