    Euro R question

    I soppose yeah if the K20 is there ready developed from the civic before it, may as well use it, no extra research cost.

    Euro R question

    Oh yes I understand its not just about the engine, the euro R has many other ***ets to its name LSD, gearbox ect, but they could have still had all that plus a tuned K24, even if only in japan, that wouldv'e been up there with the scoobys in terms of pace, so yeah probably comes down to...

    Euro R question

    Ive always wonderd, why did honda use the smaller capacity K20 as a base in the euro R? The fastest and flagship of the 7th gen.They could have made a beast if they tuned the K24, instead they put a bigger engine in the second fastest one, with less power?

    Headlight issue

    Just a little update, I installed yet another set of dipped beam bulbs, used ones I had spare from my previous accord. This is the longest ive ever had a set last in this car (still going), the difference? I havent touched the rear screen heater at all while the headlights are on, as said in...

    Few gearbox jobs to do.

    Has anyone ever swapped out just the FD to the 4.7 and left the gears alone? Or is that not worth it?

    vtec system malfunction

    Just a quick question on the CL9 vtec change over. How noticable is the vtec "kick in" on the 2.4? Im not one for usually ragging it up to 6000 RPM+, I like the performance of the engine all through the rev range, but the times ive taken it up to full revs I watch the needle go round to 6000 and...

    side lights

    LED's have a tendancy to fail quite quickly, I went through 2 sets in a matter of months, so switched back to normal ones. Were they flickering before they stopped working altogether? Although I did try again and buy a set of yellows and they were mega cheap, pack of 10 off ebay for about a...

    Trouble lifting driver's door window up when fully down!

    Yes this happens on mine some times too when all the way down, same as what others have said, raise it with manual a few centimetres and its fine all the way. I didn't even realise they had "anti trap" untill this started happening.

    7th Gen 2.4 Driveshaft Poll

    Is it possible to install diesel drive shafts to the petrol models? I imagine they are beefier due to the turbo diesels torque.

    Another driveshaft snapped!

    Does the diesel have better drive shafts than the petrol models seeing as it puts out a lot more torque? And if so are they interchangable?

    Top up Oil

    My 2.4 is ready for an oil change soon, would a 0w/40 or 5w/40 be the best of both worlds?

    Headlight issue

    My light units are very clouded over, but I ***umed this was down to age and sun exposure, its a 54 plate, then again the accord I had before (04 plate) had spotless units. But the black lids that screw on the back are like new on the inside. Probably get an electrician to test it. I do have an...

    Headlight issue

    Yes I am always careful not to touch them. The bulbs I got second time round were high quality. All of them had blackend burnt glass and metal after blowing. I have thought about voltage regulator on the altinater but if it was this would it affect other systems too? The only other thing I can...

    Headlight issue
