I know euro accord...

    Fuel Injector Readings

    Hey guys, Recently acquired an HDS clone and ran a test to see the health of my injectors. This is what came out: Is this something I need to worry about (lots of red on that picture but no values of any sort to reference against)?

    coolant level

    Should checking the coolant levels be done with a warm or cold engine? I ask because with a warm engine, coolant level is at max, but with a cold engine it is below min and not sure if i need to top-up.

    no power at revs (help me understand ecu logs)

    Hey guys, On friday I decided to get my car tested on a dyno because I wanted to know exactly how much power I am running (it was mapped via file-only). To my surprise max power was 120 bhp at the engine and the dyno plot showed it dropping after ~2700 rpm. Don't think its a problem with the...

    Cigarete lighter fuses

    The cigarette lighter under my armrest stopped working today. (I have a seat warmer plugged into it which was working fine for 1-2 weeks). The interesting thing is the other cigarette lighter in the front ashtray works fine. Does anyone know if they are on separate fuses and what fuse #s I...

    Why do my rear disks look like this?

    I have vertical lines on my rear disks on both sides (left is worse than right). The fronts are fine as I recently had them changed. Is this something I need to worry about?

    Is the Type-S worth it?

    Hi, Does anyone know if there any major differences between the 2.2 I-DTEC and the 180 hp Type-S version in terms of engine/turbo/intercooler or is it just an ECU tweak and bigger wheels? If it is the latter I would probably prefer to just get the 150 bhp version and get a remap/dpf removal...

    Just got the stage 1 EGR off remap by Fahad

    If you drive normally there is no smoke, but if you put your foot down (WOT) it smokes like a chimney. That being said after around 8 months with the stage 1 egr off map im still perfectly happy with it and have no intention of changing it soon. (Also honda 325 clutch seems to be holding it so far)

    How to tell if my thermostat is dying

    My car heats up really really slowly when it is colder outside. Sometimes (under -10 C) it wont even reach operating temp during my commute to work (~15 miles). Is this normal? Can I check if my thermostat might be on its way out somehow? Also the temp gauge inside the car (which reads the...

    2004 i-CTDI low MPG

    I think its ridiculous to expect 60 mpg from this car. The absolute highest I've seen on the trip computer is around 55 mpg and that is factoring in the fact that mine is off about 10 mpg. I average about 30-35 mpg around town and 40-45 around the highway depending on how I drive. This is...

    Snapping sound coming from the front

    Hey guys, I have a snapping sound coming from the front of my car when going over irregularities on the road. The sound can be best described as the same sound that one makes when they "tsk" with dissaproval. I can only hear it when I have the window open and when going over small...
