    Front bumper splitter droop / sag on CU1 ES-GT

    Here's the instructions for removal/installation from ESM (attached) It states interestingly "If the spoiler (C) will be reinstalled, check the double-sided adhesive tape (D) that attach the spoiler spacer A and the spoiler spacer B to the spoiler for damage. If the double sided adhesive tape...

    Replace Rocker Gear

    I guess to work on it on the bench (don't shoot the messenger!) I would imagine you can do the work you mention with it in though The ESM instructions are normally very good in my experience BUT you can often take some shortcuts. I did bottom ball joints the other day, which you have to remove...

    Replace Rocker Gear

    I've not personally done anything this deep into the engine Having had a quick look the first step for these tasks in ESM is "Remove the cylinder head" - not to say it can't be done without, but Honda seem to think that it's not the way to go

    Read about possible PN testing of DPF being brought into MOT.

    I'd never head of Euro 5b before reading this! I guess for all intents and purposes it doesn't matter as Euro 6 is the real one you have to care about for diesel cars due to ULEZ. And yeah, this has been rumbling on for years. Personally I don't drive a diesel car but due to the low value of...

    People with fitment experience wanted: how do I minimise rubbing risk and why isn't suspension travel considered?

    Looks good I am running Weds SA-72R 18x8.5J ET35 now without problems. 235/40 tyres that came on the rims. I'd say if a really flush fitment is a priority the rear could probably come out maybe 10mm on a spacer (with arches rolled). But I wanted to go for a square setup as i've always...

    Replace Rocker Gear

    There's a link to an offline copy here of the Mk7 ESM service manual https://typeaccord.co.uk/board/threads/workshop-manual-for-diesel.23647/#post-269349 That being said It's probably the same as what you have on CD You can mess around with compatibility settings in the browser but to be...

    2.2 i-DTEC engine intake sound

    Maybe an exhaust blow somewhere? You can try to block the tailpipe and see if noise/gas escapes elsewhere?

    2.2 i-DTEC engine intake sound

    Has part of the hose come disconnected somewhere? There was someone I saw a while ago where part of the snorkel came disconnected (maybe intentionally). Worth following the whole chain to see. I'm not that much of an expert on civics or diesels though.

    2.2 i-DTEC engine intake sound

    Can you record the sound and post a video? It's hard to get an idea about it from your description.

    Time to let the Accord go

    If it's a K24 car it has to be worth at least £500 as an engine for someone's k-swap, surely? That being said, I think the problem now is the supply of shells to k-swap into, you can't pick up an EG or EK like you used to! If you have a look on facebook there's a few k-swap groups maybe stick...

    Will this BBK fit my car?

    I can't comment for certain but on the wilwood website there's a very good diagram which shows the dimensions so you could measure your existing setup to confirm https://wilwood.com/calipers/caliperlist?subname=forged+superlite+internal&minorname=forged+superlite+internal+4 You'll have to be...

    Handbrake Adjustment 2009 Tourer EX i-DTEC 150

    I tightened mine through the adjustment through the access panel in the bottom of the armrest console - I did struggle at first using a normal ring spanner but I got a ratchet spanner on it and that helped me maintain tension tightening it up I believe the saloon adjustment is different though...

    [Guide] Intake Manifold Upgrade on K24Z3 engine (RSP/RBC/RRC/etc)

    That's just plain wrong as far as I understand it too - I think machining the manifold is the ultimate solution though I saw that on another post from years ago where someone did that - I think from the guy in Switzerland I found - matched the RSP mani to the head Got my car partially e-tuned...

    [Guide] Intake Manifold Upgrade on K24Z3 engine (RSP/RBC/RRC/etc)

    ****, that's not good. Hopefully it didn't damage anything as its probably only a small leak (I guess you would've had a problem by now if it had!). A bit cowboy but maybe some hondabond around the coolant port would fix it? That or the coolant adaptor, or PRL kit. Getting my car remote tuned...

    Headlight lense cleaning? - 2 bucket method?

    Very good video on this topic here (one of my favourite youtube channels) I ordered the Cerakote kit from Amazon USA, cost around £22 inc delivery so not cheap but should do the job well. I think the key is sealing them afterwards, if you just polish they go back again very quickly. On my...

    Workshop Manual

    All good - I am using an offline Windows XP virtual machine personally so I can run it on a newer machine - so could be another option for you. I found the web version is working for 98% of stuff but the wiring diagrams are messed up (needed that for a stereo install a while back). I used to...

    JDM 2.4 Type S Questions

    I have a UK market 2.4 but its the same car for the most part Basically what Fahad has said, I can add from experience: Battery: OEM spec battery (part number 31500-S3N-G51) is 45ah 330cca so yours is a little under but not by miles, if you are not having problems it's fine so I would only...
