    Lower ball joint nut tightening sequence

    the ball joints move in 3 dimensions as the suspension travels so there is really no reason to tighten them when the suspension is loaded. jacking the suspension up to tighten the castle nuts is primarily to lock the taper into the knuckle and keep it from spinning the manual only has removal...

    CL9 saloon front crash bar

    they're all the same with the exception of a nvh compensating weight block suspended by bushings being added to some later models(I think). I know both petrol and diesel facelift wagons have them and I've just replaced a rotted out crash damaged diesel one with a petrol one the crash bar doesn't...

    Accord 7th Gen brakes update: All OEM solutions

    have researched brake options a bit more bad news for anyone considering these - they bolt straight on, but no off the shelf discs exist that fit our cars, as the acuras and hondas that use these have a 5x120 bolt pattern. closest match is a 330x28x47 with 5x114,3 pattern aston rear disc, but...

    What have you done to your Accord lately?

    years have passed, some stuff has happened. pirates black is a no go, like most purples it ends up looking brown without the right lighting conditions to make it pop turns out what made it twitchy was(yes I'm not ****ting you) the front subframe bolts being no more than finger tight, so it had...

    What mods can I put on?

    Not with any stock components, you may want to buy a faster and more tunable car before diving down that rabbit hole. There are some good threads on civinfo explaining the fueling limitations of the i-ctdi injector and although they are not directly comparable to the i-dtec, the ballpark is the...

    24T CM3 Drivetrain Pics

    hesitant "yes it is possible", the casing is identical but the selector bracket and mounts need transferring. might want a different gearset than the crv one though it is also possible on the diesel if you get the 5/6mt awd box from the rd and re crv, the crv. rear diffs on accord cm3/cl8 and...

    Bonnet gas struts

    bit of advice based on anecdotal evidence but here goes I don't recommend ebay special gas strut conversions that mount directly to the hinge. on cars that were delivered with this type of hinge, the hinge to hood mount is designed to spread the load or the hood is built to withstand the...

    tinted lamps

    Imo the nicest and safest way to tint these is to scuff them down ready to paint, mask over the circular reflectors for the combo bulbs, reverse and fog, and do the same very neatly for the indicators Then a dusting of black paint, remove masking, clear over everything Makes them pop like dc5...

    Subframe

    it's a bit of a gamble but the rear multilink remained unchanged between 6th and 7th gen, 4th and 5th had a knuckle almost like the front of an integra, and then for the mk8 they did multilink for the bottom end, and a wishbone for the top the part numbers don't match, but judging by appearance...

    I'm retarded, I was looking at the wrong end of the diagram, and the ebc hose guides/tie downs are flexible you are entirely right

    Driver's door lock cylinder barrell

    buyer beware, this one is for a steering column? doesn't look like mine anyhow the part number, or style that you want, is 72181SEAG01 the door cylinder is much more stubby and has a locking plastic tab for the actuator rod they're not difficult to take out but the 7th gen has that 90s...

    What have you done to your Accord lately?

    bit dirty but otherwise ok since last time.. modulo/aspec lip bug deflector sold the et0 steelies, went with 30mm spacers for the et35 wheels instead cut up the type s grille and made it deeper with a different honeycomb mesh, will probably fiberglass it and repaint from grey to black later new...

    2006 CN1 N22A1 to 2006 CL7 with K20Z2 engine swap

    ouch :[ why not repair your cn1? petrol to diesel is not the most involved swap if you drop the struts along with the subframe and "just" slot it in but it's all the ancillary **** that's gonna snowball and steal your time. for example.. like, yeah you can swap the speedo in 10 minutes, but do...

    eibach pro kit fitted today

    I know tourer geometry is different in the rear and it squats a bit more due to axle weight/distribution but I was already at negative camber before fitting a H&R kit and it made no real difference. fitting cusco rear arms soonish for camber adjustment and then all will be within spec. no need...
