    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    Awesome. I’ll email Japan Parts and see if they still do the part.

    K24 engine in both the Mk7 and Mk8 2.4l petrol tourers.

    As @SayamaAccord said they are quite thirsty, especially when compared to a diesel, but I think that’s also partly because they are just too much fun to drive haha. I got my mk8 Tourer about a month ago and I’m super happy with it. Comes with a huge amount of kit and it drives really well...

    Hello from Nottingham

    Amazing, thanks Kev. It will be a couple of months before I’ve got the funds to do it, but I’ll be sure to post the results when it’s all done. Can’t wait!

    Hello from Nottingham

    Hi Kev. Sweet looking ride and that track day sounds fun. Would love to take my mk8 out at some point. Just seen you had a custom exhaust installed on yours in Feb last year. The works looks really good in the photos, I take it all is still good? I'd like to get a new exhuast system sorted for...

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    Yesterday I got back home from a 30min journey and my K&N Air Filter had arrived. I removed the old filter and installed the new one, then jumped back in the car and took it for a 20min whip round. I was fully expecting to feel no difference at all, but wow was I wrong! Improved throttle...

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    Gonna be doing my first service end of July/beginning of august and apart from the usuals it's time to get the fuel filter replaced. Is a genuine Honda filter like this one best or is there an aftermarket alternative that's better? Regarding the oil filter, searching the forum suggests a...

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    So on Tuesday I visited @F6HAD from Premier Tuning and I've gotta say I am extremely happy. His solution has lowered V-TEC crossover and increased the redline so that the car now drives like it felt it wanted to before. Some decent HP and torque gains as well! We had a good chat about Accords...

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    @Blippi great tip searching for Acura tsx, I've found these guys in Kazakhstan who make a number of things for the 8th gen, including that grille. On a different note, I noticed my nearside windscreen trim was lifting at the top. I've got the paperwork that shows it was fixed under the recall...

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    Ha nice. I'll get the lights out at some point and I'll definitely replace the lenses at the same time. By any chance do you have a link to the lenses you bought, and also to your front grill? Would love to replace mine with the same as the stock one is too much chrome for me and I really like...

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    Also @ukcl9 you still reflashing these 2.4 8th gens with the @littlebo ECU map? Would love to get it done in the next 2-4 weeks, if possible.

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    Sorry folks I've been on site the last couple of days. ~400 mile round trip from Notts - Glos - Reading - Islington then back to Notts and the car has been fantastic. Well chuffed. @Blippi that's awesome. Total mess to seamless brilliance. I had a quick perv through your posts and I've gotta...

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    Morning Grayedout. Do you mean that’s the wrong oil for my 2.4 iVtec or smokingman’s iDtec? My manual says ACEA A1/B1, A3/B3 or A5/B5. @smokingman having removed the front bumper on the weekend I can definitely see it becoming a pain in the backside for changing headlamps. £245 is a lot of...

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    Amazing, that makes LEDs a bit cheaper then. Might fit all the externals this weekend if I get the time. With those Philips lamps I guess you could swap them out just before MOT, or leave them in and risk it? The MOT special notice does state that for "class 3,4,5 and 7 vehicles, the defect...

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    Hi all. I bought a 2008 Accord EX Tourer 2.4L manual recently, and having had the car for a week now I've gotta say I'm extremely impressed. I bought the car from Tom at BMC Specialist Motors in Gloucestershire and the whole experience was fantastic; he's a real Honda enthusiast and seems to...
