    K24A3 engine in the 2008 - 2015 model

    The k24z3 makes more HP stock and has stronger rods, but the lack of VTEC on the exhaust cam means its unfortunately not as tuneable. Some folks in the US have installed the k20 head and oil pump on the z3. I believe PLM make adapters for it. There’s videos on YouTube and info on the various...

    Recommendations for new tailgate struts

    The Stabilus website is really crap, but after much searching it looks like the part number above is correct. Honda part # 74820-TL4-G31 / 74820-TL4-G32 = Stabilus # 408227 Just braved the cold to check mine and I've got 74820-TL4-G31 installed, which seem to be the original, now...

    Recommendations for new tailgate struts

    I can’t recommend any but you’ve reminded me about mine. My left hand one sometimes makes a groaning noise, despite the operation being spot on. Honda part number in the link below (mine’s the electric one, #10), but there’s no way I’m paying >£200 for both sides. Tailgate opener 74820tl4g32...

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    Made a couple of modifications this Christmas period. First I installed Acuity’s upgraded shifter linkage bushings. You can just make out the purple aluminium bushing. Real hard to get a photo in there. They come as a set of two and are super easy to install. Acuity has install docs and...

    Service indicater/reminder

    I managed to accidentally turn mine back on when I was mucking about with the HDS about a month ago. Can’t remember how I did it but then turning it back off again was alright. Not sure if there is a DIY method without the HDS so it may be paying Honda is the only alternative.

    Service indicater/reminder

    The service reminder is turned off on mine as well. I’ve got a copy of the Honda 12,500 mile schedule sheet that I could send you, if that is useful.

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    That’s a good idea. I prefer the 2 tone look as well. It really suits the wheels with the rear 5 twin spokes behind the front 5.

    DIY Android Double Din - Write Up

    Nice write up, thank you. At some point I’ll get round to updating the infotainment system. Probably after I’ve got my other mods sorted. I didn’t need another reason to spend money on my car but now you’ve given me one, cheers! :p

    Door Lock Query

    I’ve got an 8th gen 2008 tourer and don’t think it’s possible to change, however, it’s a security feature that may be useful in the right circumstances. Means the baddies can’t hop in through the passenger door :D

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    Whilst I had the wheels off I couldn’t resist putting on one of the deltas a very kind forum member gifted to me at the beginning of this week! You can’t tell in the photo but they do need a fair bit of work, however I’m so happy as I’ve been wanting a set of these since I bought the car, but...

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    Front brake pads were approaching the limit so I decided to replace them today. I went with EBC greenstuff because all round they seemed to fit the best. Yellowstuff would be best for me but probably not for the missus. Everything went great but unfornuately there’s a fair bit of corrosion to...

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    @Blippi i was wrong about your delta alloys sticking out 5-6mm more. Thought they were 8” thick but I was wrong they are 7.5”, so should fit just like mine.

    Picked this up for £1100

    As I understand it, the big problem with using LEDs in headlights designed for halogens, is that they will not project the light in the same way, thereby leading to dazzling other drivers. Philips Ultinon claim to be suitable for halogen projectors and give drivers "light exactly where they need...

    Clock did not go back an hour

    When the algorithms aligned a couple of months ago mine auto set the time but it was out by one hour, so I disabled daylight saving and all was good. Naturally the car was out by one hour yesterday so I just turned daylight saving on again and it works.
