    Knocking when starting and stopping engine

    any chance it could be loose exhaust bits not dampened properly knocking into the subframe, underbody or reinforcements? the subframe is unlikely since the flex pipe is below the cat but who knows just done an exhaust job on an old hilux pickup, and I noticed the pipes knocking into the frame in...

    KB1 Honda Legend 3.5 V6

    the legend/vigor/inspire did do away with its sportier roots with the 3rd/4th gen, and it's become bit of a landbarge compared to the japanese accords we're used to. it's sort of gone the way of lexus, but that doesn't mean you won't love it

    New Year, New Forum!

    the update has broken tapatalk compatibility, but the mobile theme is functionally superior to the tapatalk offering, so it's not a problem at all

    Accord 7th Gen brakes update: All OEM solutions

    rags to riches.. as mentioned previously, I was able to source USDM accord calipers on the used market, but they weren't in great shape. not decided on a color yet but I think a subtle bronze will do with the stock storm alloys sand blasted and 2k epoxy primered, single component high heat paint...

    Has anybody use Autodoc for spares?

    I do understand the ease of installation, especially given the metallurgical... friction between aluminium bushings and cast iron control arms, no need to worry about chiseling out bits of the old bushings at that point. but the oem honda compliance bushing does not seem like a sound design for...

    Has anybody use Autodoc for spares?

    bought an alternator there, initially ordered a "low end" option manufactured by as-pl for £130, but it must have been out of stock because I received a £400 unit manufactured by stark instead so either someone's messed up, or the price hike is artificially inflated between the two products...

    Accord 7th Gen brakes update: All OEM solutions

    adding to my previous post as I cannot edit it; while the caliper is the same, the j30 usdm accord's carriers are compatible only with a 282mm disc, and are identical to the 1st gen hr-v, cr-v, nsx and various other honda platforms the 300mm compatible carriers are however not unique to the type...

    Anyone done a CL7 K24 swap?

    sorry, the 6 pin connector is for the accelerator position sensor, not the butterfly valve although I guess all roads lead to rome in the end from my understanding of the system, it uses a throttle cable from the pedal up to the spring loaded "wheel", but instead of a physical connection to the...

    Anyone done a CL7 K24 swap?

    looking at parts diagrams on lings, the k20a6 intake will bolt onto the k24a2/a3 head, and the two intakes use the same gasket, but the k20a6 intake will be more restrictive. the throttle bodies are not interchangeable, but both types use the same 6 pin connector for the valve actuator. map...

    HID headlights into non hid car

    hella does sell a (few) aftermarket self levelling kits, but at £700+ I don't think they're worth it. additionaly, their catalog is so vast, the kits may as well be urban legends with how difficult they are to find and then source a dealer that understands what it is you want. with the clean...

    HID headlights into non hid car

    the ballast isn't internally wired, it goes loom -> ballast -> igniter-> bulb, not loom -> housing -> ballast -> igniter-> bulb, surely? the cap you speak of is for the power and ground for the standard h1 halogen bulb which is wired internally I considered going down the very same route you've...

    Tailgate Open light on and wont lock with keyfob

    Mine lacks the power tailgate, but I had every symptom including the alarm having a life of its own last year after a clogged rear washer nozzle caused a split and a leak... somewhere? the motor would churn, but no liquid ever made it to the nozzle. I mended the split but could never locate the...

    Accord 7th gen Lowering options

    while kinda on the subject of the b12 kit, has anyone been able to source a kit for the tourer? because I can't, so the other option is to go with bilstein b6 and h&r lowering springs edit: I have read jayok's review linked on page 2

    Coolant bleeding

    might want to burp the system, that's what I had to do on a m57 bmw powerplant. I fitted a massive funnel over the expansion tank(on the accord you would do it on the radiator cap) and filled it to the brim with coolant, then kept it pegged at 3000rpm for a few minutes to get the coolant to run...

    Engine Drummimgrumming?

    the alignment mark was only off on the oil pump side, and it was like that when I took the timing belt off. it wouldn't have affected anything in that state, though being inexperienced I thought it might. every 4 or 6 crank rotations(I don't remember 100%) the alignment marks would realign, but...

    Engine Drummimgrumming?

    doubt this'll help but I had a similar conundrum with a mitsu 4g63 where the oil pump gear was off its mark when crank and cams were aligned correctly but as it turns out I was being retarded because the smaller gear only turns 1/4 or 1/6 of the crank due to its size, so in the end it wasn't...

    Accord mk7 ctdi - can't justify selling it

    one of us, one of us :p I see a lot of americans complain about the oil dilution caused by DI in the 1.5 civic engine, but with the service intervals most i-ctdi owners are used to I don't think you could go wrong with the civic tbh

    Accord 7th Gen brakes update: All OEM solutions

    may or may not be useful information but the j30 usdm accord coupe front brakes share their part number with the type r calipers, 45019-S1A-E21. I couldn't for the life of me find anything for the type r here in norway, but I was able to source them for the us accord

    Running supply cable through firewall

    I don't think lhd/rhd are mirrored, so on my lhd accord, when facing the engine, there is a circular rubber grommet with a plastic donut style passthrough on the firewall for the main loom(or one of them anyway) I separated the rubber grommet from the donut, cut a hole in the grommet, fed my...
