    Engine bay - what is this bit?!?

    Yep, it leads down to the resonator box.

    BC Coilovers Query - What preload and height do you have?

    Going to the effort of replacing suspension with coil overs, I felt it was worth the extra effort to replace seized and corroded bushes. When I had lowering springs fitted, they just used spring compressors to squeeze things in, but better replace knackered parts than work around them.

    Fog Lamp

    Old tapes won't be worth anything in terms of the tape itself. Tape doesn't age particularly well. I read a thing about old masters being found to be disintegrating in their climate controlled storage compartments. They can be baked to re-strengthen them. But essentially, over time they...

    Fog Lamp

    Not wanting to go off topic, but do you know how expensive ****ogue tape is these days! I haven't bought any 1/4" now for several years, but it was approx £35 for 30 minutes the last time (which is about enough to fill two 7.5" spools as pictured there). And that was the standard stuff, not a...

    especially if they get water in them and turn a little bit rusty yellow :lol:

    Fog Lamp

    The diesel fogs are smaller and on the one side have slots in the surround to allow air flow to the intercooler. That's the only reasoning I can place on them being different.

    Cheers Marcus, that's useful insight. I've always run my tyres about 36PSI, mainly for fuel saving. I'll probably raise the car up a touch soon, get new tyres and alignment/geometry/corner balancing done. Get it all setup and then leave it for a while.

    Well, the knocking stopped on Wednesday and the chaps had a look over everything on Friday and couldn't find anything, so fingers crossed the knocking stays gone. In other news, I bought myself a micrometer and had a little go at making adjustments today. Pleasantly surprised at how easy it was...

    Sorry - another seized rear brake calliper thread - calliper replacement recommendations please :-)

    My rear brakes are fine. Never fitted the braided hoses as they sent too long ones for the rear and they rubbed against the shock absorber. Wasn't the end of the world as I sent them back for a refund, which helped go towards the extra labour costs of fitting my suspension. But, I've noticed my...

    Hi Fabian. Yeah, I was considering the Bilsteins, they review very highly. But temptation got the better of me and convinced me to splurge on the coilies. I was gonna hold on to my old setup for the time being, just to be on the safe side, in case I needed to remove the coil overs for any...

    Cool, sort of reminds me of Mighty Car Mods Super Gramps, where they took the NA V6 from a Subaru chelsea tractor, put it in a Legacy and Turbo'd it! Maaaaad!

    Buying Advice

    Find a nice custom place and have one made up in my opinion. I think power flow trade on their brand somewhat and are probably a bit over priced. But on the flip side, you know you'll get a good quality product that's tried and tested. It depends what your goals are Eric. What's the philosophy...

    Isn't it a Turbo? Might be more beneficial to upgrade your intercooler as any cold air from intake would warm up in the turbo anyway, surely.

    BC Racing - BR Coilovers - 2003 Accord Tourer, 2.4

    Yeah, I just read on all kinds of forums that BCs are prone to knocking and the top mount bolts needing a little more than what it says they do in terms of torque. Also whilst the manual says the preload is set at factory, UK reps have informed many people to reset the preload as they're not...

    BC Racing - BR Coilovers - 2003 Accord Tourer, 2.4

    Completely agree Marcus. As I said. Never again will I bother with anything on a car until I've done Coilovers. The knock's come back again today on the way home. Not sure what it is. It doesn't seem to relate to road conditions, seems pretty random, but very constant, deep, low, from rear near...

    Good idea Matt. I shall do that. They're at the centre point at the moment, but I'll dial them close to max softness, like you suggest. I love the idea of being able to just dial in stiffness on my dampening. I've always been one for tinkering with my stuff. Computers, music equipment, my BMX...

    Pic time. Here's the front top and under side: (For anyone who read my seized brake thread, you'll notice I haven't yet got the braided hoses on... the seller sent the wrong size. The rears were too long, rubbed against rear shocks so had to send them back <_< ) Perhaps more...
