    Steering Rack.

    has anyone locked the wheels and checked the coloumn/u joints for play? are your strut mounts good? ie, do your front coil over strut ***emblies rotate smoothly as you turn the wheel, or do they shudder and bind? what about your lca compliance bushings? if the rubber in the bushing is missing or...

    Headlight Bulbs

    HID xenon efficiency is about twice that of regular halogen, not even HIR comes close. but do bear in mind our h1 halogen projector bowl is vastly different from the HID variant, on the bright side(lol) projectors are less sensitive to light source placement, so even with a hid kit, your beam...

    Dreaded ABS, VSA, TSA dashboard lights

    sticking solenoids, pump wear, faulty pressure sensor, sticking valves or valves unable to seat the latter 2-3 can be alleviated by not having nasty brake fluid. copper lined tubes, cast iron calipers, aluminium distributor blocks are all dissimilar metals in a fluid and acts kind of like a...

    sorry, I thought you all meant inside the projector bowl cutting the cap open with a hole saw and adding a smaller rubber/plastic cap to it could work

    Headlight Bulbs

    surely anything attempting to replicate the filament placement in a h1 bulb should just drop in? https://www.morimotohid.com/morimoto-2-stroke-2stroke-h1-led-bulbs?quantity=1 for example I know the price is steep lol, ebay has similar "patterns"...

    Headlight Bulbs

    Mine kept blowing while I was still on halogen, nightbreakers, xtremevisions, regular bosch and phillips, nothing made any difference. Rewiring the main beams with power straight from battery through a relay with stock wiring as relay trigger helped with longevity, i don't remember the wire...

    Replacement Sump F20B6

    it definitely shares its sump with the f18 variant offered in the same car, but I think that's where it ends for the sohc vtec f series https://www.lingshondaparts.com/partscatalog/catalog/listing/catalog/hondacars/modelid/6450/block/17S1A01/blockref/E__1401/

    Alternator Questions

    bearing failure seems the most common failure for the 7th gen and that's the way mine went uncommon for brushes to fail, overheating will burn the epoxy insulator and windings but never seen or heard of it on ours or 8th

    OEM steering wheel upgrades.

    I would be cautious with changing the wheel because of the takata recall, make sure that the donor wheel is not affected

    restoring headlight lens

    you're on the right track :p air dry is fine if you have the time ambient for application, heat for speeding up hardening. temperature alters flash off time, if it flashes off too quickly or unevenly because of uneven application, it will cause pinholes. we bake finished clear at 60C* for...

    restoring headlight lens

    2k clear coat in thin coats, allowing it to flash off so the solvents don't cause a reaction and break down the plastic. make sure you haven't cooked your plastic lenses during sanding. it is a petroleum product and when heated it releases oils which the clear and hardener will then react...

    Accord 7th Gen brakes update: All OEM solutions

    you're right, but don't forget the pins and mounting hardware! sadly, the cardone bracket seems to be the most reliable way to do this with a 300x25/28mm disc. if you're willing to settle with a 282mm disc there are options from cars like the prelude, cr-v, hr-v, ITR and nsx

    All you wanted to know about engine oils & fuels !

    thanks again, I apologize for being so literal :p I've got 20 liters to burn, £180 total with import tax and shipping, but if I were to source it locally I'd be paying £45 a liter for big brand stuff like mobil 1

    All you wanted to know about engine oils & fuels !

    Sorry to necro this thread but I've got a question about ACEA specifications, because I can't find a clear cut answer on google. Is 0w30 c2 fine to use in place of a5/b5? Rye oil ****ed up my order and sent me c2 in place of a5/b5

    Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) does not work anymore.

    How do you like them? I have some for the tops my rear shocks and I'm very happy, might look to siberian bushing for compliance bushings in the future, but psb's are fine for now

    Anybody cross-shop an Audi A4 -- curious to get your feedback pro/cons vs 8th gen Accord

    I can only compare the b8 a4 allroad 170hp with a base 2.2 mk8, and I have not spent enough time with either to comment on long term issues or gremlins, but.. sloppy gearbox, otherwise nice to drive "loud" interior with a lot going on in it seating position and seat firmness makes it feel...

    Rust - like this - how bad and does it pass MOT?

    I disagree, skip the touch up paint and remove the rust thoroughly, seal it with a good anti rust primer, if it's an eyesore you're more likely to get it sorted sooner :D If the paint has bubbled up there is already moisture inside, and sealing the pinholes or cracks with touch up paint will...
