There was some belt part no's listed in this other thread which details some longer and shorter belts, which may help you: http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/22363-changing-aux-belt-cl9/

Damn really it's that easy?! In that case i better order myself a new belt! Thanks man!!

Nice!! Where did u get that diagram from where it shows you which nut to undo and the belt route? I mean i think i cant work it out from ur pic, but would be easier to have access to the same diagram as i am also wanting to change the aux belt too! Thanks!

i had the same problem on my old car, nothing a screw in the gap didnt resolve!

I think the airbag issue is not the major problem here...its the bolt holes not aligning? I know the CL7/9 has different seat rails to the Accord Type-R...have you tried test fitting to see if the bolt holes are anywhere close to lining up? I highly doubt seat airbags are even a noticable item...

hmm interesting, thanks for the reference to lings...so looks like the OEM pipe would need to be cut before the y split and then somehow joined onto this pipe...i guess the idea behind this is to 'slip join' or weld the cut pipe pre-backboxes to this new pipe. If this did slip fit then this...

its a mid pipe, it will join before the y split to the backboxes i believe...so should fit both a CL7 and CL9 (***uming the route only differs from where this midpipe ends)

Hi Accord modders, I just stumbled across a German ebay seller who is selling a FOX branded exhaust midpipe for the CL9...has anyone heard of this manufacturer or know if this is a direct fit? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351077276093?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I...

pm'd to enquire further...

looks in good nick but tbh, honda engines are pretty solid tho and if you are only looking to keep the car for a couple of years, i wouldn't worry too much about finding a low mileage one unless you are looking at trying to get some good money back when you resell it. You can pick up slightly...

p.s. you dont really need the hydro shield if you are running the short ram as water wont get up that high into the engine bay (unless u take ur car off road regularly!) Or am i missing something? nice work on the welding btw.

I sprayed my penta's white if that helps. http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/18335-my-cl9-pre-facelift-type-s I had 16's before i put the 17" pentas on...the ride was much softer with the 16s, which when combined with the coilovers gave a floaty feeling which was not nice. Upgrading to 17s...

wow, these are a good deal if they are the dual piston calipers as shown, which should be the accord type-r calipers...! I'll be keeping an eye on these, let us know if you find out more info on them or order them!

does it make the same sound when under strain (such as pulling away from a speedhump in 2nd gear)? If so, might be the cat heatshield.

can you rotate the bolt? if not, sounds like the bolt has corroded itself to the bush? Keep cranking it with your breaker bar until it rotates...or are you saying it wont budge? if so try harder but that could result in shearing the head straight off the bolt leaving you possibly in a stickier...
