rags to riches.. as mentioned previously, I was able to source USDM accord calipers on the used market, but they weren't in great shape. not decided on a color yet but I think a subtle bronze will do with the stock storm alloys sand blasted and 2k epoxy primered, single component high heat paint...

I do understand the ease of installation, especially given the metallurgical... friction between aluminium bushings and cast iron control arms, no need to worry about chiseling out bits of the old bushings at that point. but the oem honda compliance bushing does not seem like a sound design for...

bought an alternator there, initially ordered a "low end" option manufactured by as-pl for £130, but it must have been out of stock because I received a £400 unit manufactured by stark instead so either someone's messed up, or the price hike is artificially inflated between the two products...

adding to my previous post as I cannot edit it; while the caliper is the same, the j30 usdm accord's carriers are compatible only with a 282mm disc, and are identical to the 1st gen hr-v, cr-v, nsx and various other honda platforms the 300mm compatible carriers are however not unique to the type...

sorry, the 6 pin connector is for the accelerator position sensor, not the butterfly valve although I guess all roads lead to rome in the end from my understanding of the system, it uses a throttle cable from the pedal up to the spring loaded "wheel", but instead of a physical connection to the...

looking at parts diagrams on lings, the k20a6 intake will bolt onto the k24a2/a3 head, and the two intakes use the same gasket, but the k20a6 intake will be more restrictive. the throttle bodies are not interchangeable, but both types use the same 6 pin connector for the valve actuator. map...

hella does sell a (few) aftermarket self levelling kits, but at £700+ I don't think they're worth it. additionaly, their catalog is so vast, the kits may as well be urban legends with how difficult they are to find and then source a dealer that understands what it is you want. with the clean...

the ballast isn't internally wired, it goes loom -> ballast -> igniter-> bulb, not loom -> housing -> ballast -> igniter-> bulb, surely? the cap you speak of is for the power and ground for the standard h1 halogen bulb which is wired internally I considered going down the very same route you've...

Mine lacks the power tailgate, but I had every symptom including the alarm having a life of its own last year after a clogged rear washer nozzle caused a split and a leak... somewhere? the motor would churn, but no liquid ever made it to the nozzle. I mended the split but could never locate the...

while kinda on the subject of the b12 kit, has anyone been able to source a kit for the tourer? because I can't, so the other option is to go with bilstein b6 and h&r lowering springs edit: I have read jayok's review linked on page 2

might want to burp the system, that's what I had to do on a m57 bmw powerplant. I fitted a massive funnel over the expansion tank(on the accord you would do it on the radiator cap) and filled it to the brim with coolant, then kept it pegged at 3000rpm for a few minutes to get the coolant to run...

hope it's nothing major dude, good luck

the alignment mark was only off on the oil pump side, and it was like that when I took the timing belt off. it wouldn't have affected anything in that state, though being inexperienced I thought it might. every 4 or 6 crank rotations(I don't remember 100%) the alignment marks would realign, but...

doubt this'll help but I had a similar conundrum with a mitsu 4g63 where the oil pump gear was off its mark when crank and cams were aligned correctly but as it turns out I was being retarded because the smaller gear only turns 1/4 or 1/6 of the crank due to its size, so in the end it wasn't...

one of us, one of us :p I see a lot of americans complain about the oil dilution caused by DI in the 1.5 civic engine, but with the service intervals most i-ctdi owners are used to I don't think you could go wrong with the civic tbh

may or may not be useful information but the j30 usdm accord coupe front brakes share their part number with the type r calipers, 45019-S1A-E21. I couldn't for the life of me find anything for the type r here in norway, but I was able to source them for the us accord

I don't think lhd/rhd are mirrored, so on my lhd accord, when facing the engine, there is a circular rubber grommet with a plastic donut style passthrough on the firewall for the main loom(or one of them anyway) I separated the rubber grommet from the donut, cut a hole in the grommet, fed my...

the guide above should be quite sufficient, good write-up! we change a lot of windows in our body shop, generally all you do is take the trim off the inside, slide the seals out, undo the bolts and out comes your window(through the top)

stupid question perhaps, but have you tried flicking the indicators on and listening for the click? as for hids, I've fitted a morimoto 35w kit recently and I couldn't be happier. they're a bit upmarket though and i don't have a reference point in ebay lower tiers for a comparison. but I'd...

two options replace the small storage area between ashtray and stock head unit with a single or double din bracket cut panel or replace the stock head unit with one of the ebay solutions. beware though, climate control apparently gets a little wonky with all of them be it chinese or american...
