Something else to note is that if you’ve got any smaller parts that need replacing it’s worth getting them at the same time, as the cost difference between Japan and UK can be enormous, sometimes a 10th of the price. For example I bought new battery j bolts and setting plate last time to replace...

You’re welcome. Import duty and VAT is only payable on totals of £135 or more (goods + shipping cost). I’ve found the shipping time is usually 2 weeks tops.

Put your VIN into here then select the correct type for your car. External mouldings can then be found in the Upholstery section, under B-42-10 MOLDING/ROOF RAIL - note this is for my car, yours may be different. Part 1 in the diagram is the UK drivers side moulding - for my car it's...

MV Tuning make one.

I actually replaced mine about 30k miles ago with Meyle and they’ve been fine. Super easy job.

Nice one guys. Many people will appreciate your efforts.

M12 x 1.25. Easiest way to search parts-Honda is with your VIN. Link below. You can then find the tie rod ends under Steering, Brake, Suspension - P.S Gearbox. Search by VIN

Thanks for the brilliant guide, really appreciated. One day I hope I'll get round to emulating this.

Bought my CW2 (K24Z3 engine) with 89k miles in May 2022. I've serviced it with Optima 0w20 (20L) and new Honda or HAMP filter every 6k miles and it's been great so far. Perfect cold starts etc. Car is now on almost 118k miles and I'm onto my second 20L.

I wouldn’t trust this particular conversion to work. The USDM 7th and 8th gen Accords are not the same as the rest of the world. Whilst they have similar engines and chassis, there are lots of differences, so those parts may well not fit. The Acura TSX 1st gen and 2nd gen are the same as our 7th...

My 08 tourer has twin reverse lights.

Glad you’ve gone with Dan and Matt at Honda HQ; they are fantastic and I was gonna recommend them. Good prices and excellent work. They’re also well happy to chat and have no problem with you supplying the parts. Amayama are great, just remember that any orders over £135 (that’s parts +...

Valve clearances are the same: Intake: 0.21−0.25 mm (0.008−0.010 in.) Exhaust: 0.25−0.29 mm (0.010−0.011 in.) Just to note the maintenance schedule on the ESM states "Inspect valve clearance" "Every 100,000 km (62,500 miles)". Inspect could just be "Does it sound tappity? No? Done." I...

Over time the bushes in the rear arms will wear and the arms themselves can bend very slightly, causing the wheels to sag inwards, producing negative camber and then inner rear tyre wear. Much more likely / will happen much sooner if your car is significantly lowered. The OE arms are not...

£907 from Honda or probably somewhere between 5-700 from an independent specialist. The parts themselves aren’t that expensive but I believe it’s fairly labour intensive on the 8th gen as I think the subframe has to be dropped.
