Never taken a car to a track day but i would say any weight saved must be a bonus.
I mean Honda changed the gear gaiter on the NSX-R from leather to mesh...just to save 10 grams (as per Top Gear).
I would think every little helps.
Welcome to the forum.
Im from West Yorkshire too, where about's are you from?
Im sure you will love the Accord, if you are replacing a V70 you must got the Accord Tourer?
Im really surprised that the 2012 Accord Type S doesn't have these 2 features.
Is there an option/switch that i haven't turned on somewhere or Is it just something that Honda never did in 2012?
I also have an FRV although mine is the 2005 2.0 Petrol one (150bhp).
Mpg and road tax are both horrific but the practicality and reliability is second to none.
My family prefer it to my 8th gen Accord.
If you want a later model like 2008/2009 with a petrol engine you will get the 1.8 iVtec...
Actually yes there is: be sure to leave the new buttons alone until step 5.
Step 1: Open the single screw to pop the transponder section off, this has the buttons in it.
Step 2: Then you pop the transponder section open with a coin (there is a notch on 1 corner). Here you will see the battery...
All,

Hahaha
Ah ok you are a trader. Well thats the only flat bottom I have seen, you might have the only one on this forum!
If I hadn't have bought a 2012 Type S already I would have had a serious think about it,
It looks like a nice example.
Good luck with the sale buddy.
I reckon it will be some time before the low emissions zones come into effect all over the uk. Even then it's probably only going to be city centres.
If you don't currently drive into London you should be fine for a while i imagine.
At that price, if the car is in good condition then its well...
Interesting you mention this as i have just been looking at the pictures of the white one currently on Autotrader and it has a FBSW too, never seen one before.
If thats the one you have purchased then its the only one i have seen, if not then thats 2 so might well be a factory option.
I think...
Drop him a PM and he will answer your questions including a quote. Im going to see him on Saturday to get mine done. :D
As for lights, there is a thread here for Full LED conversion, maybe that will help with light output...
There is a red 2009 Type S on autotrader, somewhere down south.
Price wise it looks to be a bargain, is it anybody's on here?
