If you can wait roughly 2 weeks it’s £82.37 delivered from Japan to the U.K.

Nice one I'll let you know, thanks pal!

That’s real kind of you and I’m just a couple of miles out from Newark. I’m all for getting stuck in with these types of jobs, but the problem I’ve got is finding the time, especially as it’s our only car. As it’s quick to do I’ll get the valve cover off again to swap in the OEM style spring...

Balls. Not the answer I was hoping for but one I anticipated. Did you replace the guides and tensioner at the same time? Anything else to note?

Did you get the noise worked out? I'm now in the same position; replaced the VTC spring on August 26th, 3 days later started getting the exact same noise. Also like you I took the serp belt off and it's still there with the engine running. It's louder when the engine is cold, rises when...

@RedCloud I am no expert, but I can provide my own personal experience. I originally put 20mm rear and 15mm front spacers on my CW2 tourer with stock suspension for just over 20k miles, with zero issues. I use Honda 18” Delta wheels with 225/45 tyres in the summer and standard 17” wheels with...

Thanks for the excellent write up. It’s all very clear and makes sense to me. My only question is do you need Hondata before attempting this mod, or could you add it afterwards?

@Trawa @btjtaylor the CMC I’ve ordered is this LUK one from Amazon US. Was £35 delivered and took about 5 days to arrive. I haven’t test fit it yet as it arrived the day before we set off on a Euro road trip in the Accord. Currently making our way back through France from Switzerland. I get back...

The c clip holds it on. Gotta scratch away at the rot with a pick to reveal it, then use another pick to lift up the end. Careful though as it will probably going flying. It does take sometime and the more rot there is the longer it will take. Well worth it though as high rpm shifts are much...

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.
