    MPG Trouble

    There is two indeed, one on the catalytic converter and the other is in the manifold. If they are bad then generally you will get the EML come, if the cat has packed in they will destroy the sensors too, if they are worn then your fuel consumption would have dropped then what it should be. I...

    MPG Trouble

    23mpg is bad, you should be getting minimum 30mpg, 35mpg at best, some people get upto 39mpg on a good run. As for o2 sensor, you need to get an NGK/NTK o2 sensor, have a look at their catalogue online, majority of others do not work and you will be wasting your money, sometimes its better to...

    Metal Shavings on Dipstick

    I think its a bit odd for it to be on dipstick too. Sounds like maybe the car was run low oil at some stages and has had hard metal to metal contact and shaved bits off!

    How Rotten is Your Impact Bar?!

    I think mine might be in similar state, few years back couple of rusty bits dropped off from under the bumper when I closed the bootlid! Should have a look and inspect it really. Wonder if one from another car would fit.

    Euro R question

    Where did yours go in the end, abroad? Such a shame, will never be seen again! Although with the Euro R I would have ***umed, baring exterior body panels, most of everything is identical to Type R, so parts you can buy from dealer can be used no issues.

    Cheap way to slam your 6Gen Accord (Eibach+some oem honda stuff)

    The dampers will have different damping specs, the length and travel will all have been designed to work to certain standards and specs of each car, so mishmashing would put them out of 'sync' to put it in simple terms. I'm sure you will be fine, probably doesn't matter much if all your going...

    Cheap way to slam your 6Gen Accord (Eibach+some oem honda stuff)

    Good work there an dinteretsing fine. My only concern would be mix and matching so many different parts that wasn't really designed for the car. It would effect the handling and stability of the car under certain conditions.

    Euro R question

    The reason why they sticked the K20 and not K24 is because the engines are different in characteristics. The K20 was designed as a performance engine from the outset, the K24 is a cruiser engine in the mould of a lazy V6. The K20 is a proper performance drivetrain as it was designed to be, so it...
