You are better off buying a whole arm, it probs be cheaper! New rubber bushes will be better that polys, polys are HARD, second only to rose joints! Make the car feel like leaf spring suspension.

ebay is your friend

Just to elaborate on Steve's post, about flow velocity, back pressure, is a misused term really, at low rpms there is low flow rate, not much air is passing through. To keep the velocity up, you squeeze the pipes diameter smaller. At higher rpm there is loads of flow, and the piping can get...

DOHC have better fuel economy than SOHC motors, this was the main reason for manufactures opting to go for DOHC, however a nice side effect is that the intake and exhaust cams a separate and therefore can be fine tuned for a bit more power. This is why most DOHC have more power output. So id...

Youll be surprised how many wheels there are out there for the 4x114.3 fitment, alot of cars run that PCD. For example Volvo S40 / V40, Suzuki Swift, Daewoo Matiz, Ford Econovan, Honda Accord, Honda Civic VTI, Honda Prelude, Honda Legend, 90% of the Hyundai's, Rover 600, 800, Lotus Elite...

Sweet keep up the good work, sounds like you have resurrected the Accord back to prime condition!

If it doesnt pass, think of it it as a nice little check list to work through! Thats what i do. If you ariel is roof mounted take it out chances are insides are the same setup. So repairing will be the same. I bet the tyres are warped. I had that with the red Accord.

Pics gone?!

Its not no, part is different, and also in a different place lol! Mines on the boot above the fuel cap. Also i think there is ones on ebay though. Wing mounted.

Can you take a pic of it when you can? See if its the same as the 4th gen one. Its a plastic mechanically belt/strip that coils up when it goes down, and uncoils going up. There is a motor with a cog on it that grabs the teeth on the belt and moves it. The teeth where out on the belt. You can...

If there is a vibration there is something out of balance. At 7000rpm will be the revs will at a certain frequency that amplifies it. There are so many variables if the engine has been apart, but putting that aside, has the clutch been put on right, has it been centered with a clutch alignment...

Yeah hit me up about the ariel, i know them inside out.

Couple of pics, fresh from this years AFM12, Accord Florida Meet 2012

Read the thread properly. ;)

Sweet, thats the quicker variant. 142bhp 128lbft. And yes these old cars weigh nothing, and consequently are fast for the engine output! Cant get over how the red paint isnt pink!

So what engine have you got? B or A series? Check the engine code block below the timing light plug, below the dizzy. Im going to guess its a B20a2 or B20a8.

Id imagine the D's will struggle more than the P's in the snow, due to the down low torque? As it happens my Accord is great in the snow, last year i had 215/45/17s summer uniroyals, this year i have 195/60/15 uniroyals for winter, it will be interesting how the car behaves if it snows. In...

No matter what engine you have, colder air is more dense and has more Oxygen. More air means engine mixes more fuel with it to keep the ratios the same. Hence MPG down. Can be as much as 15% loss. Im down from 35ish MPG to 30 at the mo, and its just due to winter.

He did have Mazda RX8 but i dont think these are them Cant believe he sold this, and also left here. My favourite colour that tourer was. Edit: Also checkout the crazy brickwork on the house!

You main focus is this car :D Heard of a work light and a coat :P :) Only joking, hope you get a opportunity to spanner this car soon, I personally would like to see it finished!
