I take it to Honda because it's near where I live and convenient, they stamp the book, I get 12 months AA home start included and they're decent guys who do a good job. Sure it's a bit more than a back street, but the AA cover more than compensates for that..

Thanks chaps. I wouldn't want to take the bumper off myself so would have to pay for a full cold air kit it to be fitted. And that brings complications when I eventually sell the car, I'd need to remove the bumper again to revert to the OEM system. (thinking that an induction kit would be seen...

Hi All, I want to get a cold air induction kit fitted to my 8th Gen K24. (Have already checked the implications with my insurance company, no issues there at all.) I've had a price for an Injen cold air intake which puts the filter element down in the bumper. I'm not keen on this because it's...

I fitted the 2nd pair of Sony's into the back doors this evening. Other then the door skins being very stubborn to release it was dead easy. Both done within 1 hour including soldering the old speakers connector. I'm really impressed with the sound quality in the car now. It sounds so clear and...

Hi, these are the speakers I've fitted.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400599092960?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 this ebay listing includes the Honda door adapters other people have fitted these pioneer ones...

Glad you got yours sorted out. No doubt when working properly they sound fine. Honda quoted me £170 a pair! Neodymium magnets or not they're simply not worth it, they've got plastic cages ffs. You can buy an amazing pair of speakers for that money.

fwiw I've discovered my sun roof is rusty. Honda won't help me as I didn't get the car from them however I'm going to write to Honda UK and at least make them aware of it. I'll save up for a new one and hope it keeps the water out while I do.

Yes I did think about doing that, in fact the ebay connectors arrived this morning they have 3 inches of cable. Well, it's all done now and odds are i'll never see them again (touch wood) Cheers

Success! I fitted the new speakers this morning. The sound quality is WAY better than before, very clear with good bass. I've just ordered another pair to replace the ones in the back doors. They go loud without any distortion, just like a premium audio system should. The standard speakers...

Do you have 17s or 18s?

The Hankooks I had had quite a soft side wall, made them comfy but not the tightest when it comes to spirited cornering, that didn't bother me. I wonder if anyone else will pass comment on their current 8th gen tyres....?

My car has the standard (dull) 17" 5 spoke alloys with 2 x Goodride tyres on the front and 2 x "winda" tyres on the back. I'm sure the last owner put the cheapest ones possible to pass the MOT. Anyway, now I've covered about 500 miles in the car I've concluded the tyres are really bad. There's a...

Thanks, I did most of that yesterday on the passenger door, decided against actually lifting it completely off as A. it looked like rain and B. the speakers won't be here 'till some point next week. For a modern car it is very easy. On closer inspection the ones in my rear doors are buggered as...

Ive ordered a pair of the sony speakers liked to above. I have had a poke around with the door skins, dare I say it, it should be easy. Ill report back next weekend. Thanks for all the help.

6 times and no rattles, well done, that's confidence inspiring.
