sorry, missed that post! no, the clutch fork should indeed be under tension from the pressure plate which is a little bit alarming

I've never seen a new master cylinder without blanking plugs but they've generally got a lip or tab to pry them out with, and they've also been eye catchingly red, green or yellow

maybe you're not punching it hard enough? comparing it to a VAG's response I've always found the throttle of VAG units to be nonlinear(especially audi, no offense F6HAD :D), the first 10 degrees lets you use 70% of the powerband and then the latter 20 degrees gives you the 30% you have left...

the general consensus on imageboards I frequent with predominantly american users where the vcm v6-es are more common, is to stay away due to excessive oil usage, fouled spark plugs and misfires. there was even a lawsuit. I'm sure there was something else but I cannot remember exactly what...

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...

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

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

hope it's nothing major dude, good luck

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...
