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

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

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...

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...

Hella sells or used to sell exactly that but it's going to run you about €350. Iirc the kit comes with a control box, a set of stepper or servo motors depending on your choice of kit, as well as an ultrasonic sensor variant or lever arm sensor variant for you lower control arm or damper. Hella...

it's surprising how much you can get done at home, it's just a matter of convenience. exhaust upgrade sounds good, been considering 2.5" straight pipe from cat with a resonator before each tip for mine - why don't you post pictures? :p tint film is difficult, i would have said screw it and taken...

I wish accords were as common at scrapyards here in norway as they seem to be in england, but it's all cr-v's and hr-v's so there's no real parts commonality map sounds good then, pull video would be nice, have been eyeing up a remap but decided to work on tires, suspension, brakes and...

the previous owners' negligence seems to have caught up with mine I'm afraid, I could have bought plastic fender flares and just cut the rot out, but the mk7 is already kind of flared from factory you didn't see the garage in said mirror? ;) **** happens though, be glad you caught it early...

only HID lamps self level, EU/EAA regulation. they must also have washer nozzles. I have been curious about the same thing as it seems too slow, but perhaps the manual control has a regulator. searching for info about the US TSX is no help as they are not required to have self leveling HID's...

nothing wrong with field surgery if it halts the progression until you can do more about it I have had that experience with a tannic acid based wurth rust converter if applied too thick. the surface will seal and harden, but the underlying layers remain tacky. apply filler or primer, sand that...

she's from just outside sheffield if you'll believe me lol looking at lowering mine after buying new wheels, what springs are you on? any problems with heat soak after either stage of remap? highly recommend the type r calipers but now that i know what they feel like, I already want a larger...

yeah, you would still need to buy the carriers for a 300mm setup as the slide pin setup and pad design is completely different also correct, but whether the ATR caliper fits the ATS carrier or vice versa is completely uncharted territory. they are both akebono systems but the pad design...

I don't know about you folks, but I love my Accord, I'm even proud of it. I don't always have time to give it the care it needs or deserves, but I try my best! So for all of us that try our best, what have you done to your Accord lately? Modification, repair, servicing, detailing or just good...

I second this notion. PSA time after two years of putting off dealing with mine, I took the plunge earlier this week to find that the inner arch was rusted through on both sides. the outer arch and fender had only minor surface rust given the age of the car it has to be a weakness on these cars...

Fantastic initiative taken and great result as well! This means it is possible to source brand new/refurbished parts for anyone interested in going this route, no more hunting scrapyards and eBay listings Of course it is biltema red :D but it is as good as anyone elses red

agreed, grew up in swedish bricks like the 145 and 245 but I had no interest in cars until we bought a 96 ce2, complete game changer, practical, but it just kept wanting to rev high and be driven with some spirit, massive aftermarket for parts and just as easily maintained or modified as...

It is, but I have not been able to find a part number for replacement springs so it might be easier to drop in a complete ***embly, new or used and not have to worry about alignment Acuity instruments sells stiffer springs for k series transmissions but the selector as a whole is...

the centering springs in the selector ***embly are highly unlikely to get gunked up but it is a serviceable part, if you're in the area you can also check the selector/shifter levers and bushings for play on the way down into the box

you are overthinking this :p whether the disc grows or shrinks 3mm, the spacing between the rear of the disc and the bracket remains the same when the total height of 47.2mm is unchanged. IF and when the total height is unchanged, the ONLY way it can grow in thickness, is to grow towards the...

yes, that is correct. the euro r/tsx variant has the correct center cutout as well as the correct 47.2mm total height correct, but you are not limited to legend calipers or pads, nor are you limited to the type r discs. I could stay with my stock 25mm thick discs but I chose to upgrade to 28mm...
