    7th Gen Accord Saloon with a baby?

    Mine’s an 8th estate but I’m pretty sure the back is the same as the 8th saloon. Apparently the 8th has less room in the back than the 7th, but I use it with an ISOfix base and car seat for my 6 month old and it works fine. Only downside is the front passenger has just about ok legroom as the...

    Clock issue since new year

    Just checked mine and time was just 1 hour off as well. Manually adjusted in settings to +1 hour and all works. Nav also shows arrival time correctly, now if only it also showed all roads and traffic too! @smokingman we just need to manually adjust the time to account for DST each time the...

    Help with wiring of Mirror "AutoFold" / "AutoTilt" Kit

    BRB quitting my job to become an auto sparky! Unfortunately I can't help you with any of the wiring as I am a complete noob in that regard, however I thought it worth chipping in about the tilt in reverse function. My 8th gen tourer has this as standard, however, only the nearside mirror tilts...

    Problem take out first gear on high revs - 2.4 manual

    I know this is an old thread but I was just searching the forum for something else and came across it. I was recently looking through the acurazine forum at the 2nd gen TSX (same as our Accord 8th) and read this thread about clutch delay valve removal. Please note I have not done this so cannot...

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    Did your grille have three clips on the underside, connecting it to the front bumper? - 4 clips I believe. 3 of them snapped so I just zip tied it back on. Do you have a special tool to remove those? - Yes! Can't remember exactly which one but if you search fastener removal tools there's plenty...

    Honda Accord EX+ on a 7th Gen, how rare are they?

    On my 8th gen I had to remove the whole front bumper to get the grille off for painting about a month ago. Did you search for Honda Accord on YouTube? If so it’s mostly likely the American only accord. Over there your 7th gen is known as a 1st gen Acura TSX, and likewise my 8th is known as a 2nd...

    Survey: When Do You Change Motor Oil???

    Mines an 8th gen 2.4. I’ve only had it since May but as with previous cars I’ll be doing oil every 6 months / 6,000 miles (9,700km) and 12 months / 12,000 miles for the filter. I’ve got a 20 litre tub of oil to keep costs down and use genuine Honda filter.

    Honda Accord EX+ on a 7th Gen, how rare are they?

    I’ve just done this with the satin finished grille surround on my 8th gen. Was a proper ball ache but that’s because I’m too much of a perfectionist and I was colour matching it to my car. As @JezUK has a silver one I reckon that would look pretty good. Could even use plastidip to make the whole...

    Honda Accord EX+ on a 7th Gen, how rare are they?

    Some grille options below: MV Tuning - from Russia but if you email them they have a workaround for the current shipping situation. I haven’t use them but other members have. Rising Tuning - from Kazakhstan. Not used them either. Aliexpress - in China. Search for Acura TSX grill and you’ll...

    Mate that’s perfect, thank you. There’s a video on YouTube of a guy taking it out and the tool he uses looks exactly like that.

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    I've had a fairly busy weekend. Did my first oil and filter change on the Accord which was also my first oil and filter change on a car, ever. I wish I'd had the space to do it on previous cars because it really is quite simple. Got myself a decent pair of ramps (makes the whole process much...

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    I've made a quick video so anyone interested can hear what the car sounds like with the intake resonator removed. It's only loud when the throttle is depressed by more than a third, which means it's nice and chill around town but flipping loud when you want it to be. You may need to press the...
