Cheers Faddy, this is turning out to be a very useful thread. I'm sure it will benefit a lot of members at some point!

What's best on a standard Accord then? A standard Honda unit or the 25% cg one? Anyone know the price difference?

Ok, I didn't know about the 2500 L threshold. Jake, does it cost much to set up? If I had an older diesel runaround I'd be interested in brewing it in a shed-chemistry, moonshine kind of way but I guess home-brew doesn't have all the detergents etc found in the forecourt stuff. I just wouldn't...

Biodiesel? In the car that throws a wobbly if you even think about using non-oem filters? That's a pretty brave move. I'm guessing the 12p per litre doesn't include the duty you pay to the tax man on it?

That lip is excellent, adds a certain meaness to your car. Where's it from?

Awesome work there. Love the accord one.

We shall, of course, be expecting pictures when they're on :)

I asked Haynes about this but they didn't consider the Accord to be popular enough to warrant spending the time on making a manual. But Neil's right, most things you might want to do (and plenty you'd never even thought of) are on here somewhere.

Sounds like you're enjoying the ownership experience AJ, 22k in a year is pretty good going. And 80p a litre? Where do I get my visa?

I've got Civic wheels on my 7th gen and they fit no problem. I got lucky on ebay after a couple of weeks of searching.

As you may know, my car met a raised kerb a few weeks ago, resulting in this damage to the skirt: I’d thought about repairing the damage myself but Neil (Crespo) happened to have a spare skirt lying around that he sold me for a very decent price (thanks fella!). This weekend being rather nice...

Why is it that car farts always smell worse than others? This is certainly the case with my Mrs. And then she gets upset if I open the windows because everyone will know what she's been up to. Next time she's walking.

I have so much to learn....

Mine runs fine on standard 16s. They do look a bit like skateboard wheels, particularly on the standard suspension, but I don't have the cash to upgrade. Oh, and my wife doesn't see the point but what's new there?

They. Look. Great.

If its the same caliper as the saloon then its a 7mm hex bolt, not a common size on hex key sets :( . But as Grzesiek said, you should be able to get one fairly easily.

Well, you did say it was a cold air install! Do you know if there are any real bhp gains with this set up?

That's a whole load of awesomeness there Faddy!

Bubble wrap. genius! My jack now sits in the upturned full size but it rattles every so often. Like others I find it a good place to stash tools, jack, emergency bottle of screenwash etc.

I did my winter wheels this year. They've been on since November and still look good, even with the crazy amount of salt our council thinks is necessary. Thought I'd post up a review at the end of the season. Looking good Faz. This is the kind of job that you get really bored of sanding down...
