Id say you mpg is right then. I would next check your tyre pressures and maybe set them to 34psi all round and make sure your oil is 0w30 too. Other than that I can only think of very spirited drive (Max rpm) on the motorway to make sure the dpf is cleared and any unnecessary ***** blown out...

What speed are you doing on the motorway? Im sure if you stuck to 70mph and used the real time mpg bar you should be seeing 40-44mpg. Auto Box Saloon Fuel consumption (urban) 34.9 mpg <--round town / 80+mph motorway? Fuel consumption (extra urban) 56.5 mpg Fuel consumption...

I think this is what your after. Looks like a euro import if youd like one. That said. Holdcroft have a reallly cheap offer on accessories at the minute so your sideskirts and front lip are about £120 so you might as well get an EX and put the body kit on for less than £1000...

Are you putting the deadening on the inside of the door too? Would acoustic speaker wadding aid in better sound? I know the glass goes up and down but Im pretty sure something could be worked out. There was quite a bit of the stuff stuck on the back of the 8th gen door cards so it got me...

My Idtec sticker fell off so it will be a good replacement for the back screen.

I think its the electric seats you were after as they tilt front and rear plus go up and down along with heating your bum :rolleyes: I find the lumber support fine. Though my spines not in the best shape since jumping over the top of a bouncy castle wall and fracturing my spine sledging :blush:

How do you get the brushed effect? My 8th gen knob needs a refurb but its not like I've a replacement to put on while its sent off. :(

I had 5m of cool white LED tape left over from my kitchen so I thought I'd try this. Quick easy mod to do. Take boot lining out. Take plastic cover off that covers the number plate lights and reverse cam by pushing the plastic studs from behind. Clean and stick LED tape onto plastic cover...

I'm not sure. I was looking at this USB bluetooth It should allow you to bluetooth mp3s vis the adapter being plugged into the aux 3.5mm socket.

I also considered the Mazda too but after using google and reading the regular repair costs and the terrible service from dealers, it just put me off. I think the car is meant to be a more sporty ride but the cost you will spend in repairs when putting 200k on it may not be worth it in the long...

If you dont want full leather but do want heated seats that only leaves the EX GT or possibly the type-s if that has heated seats too.

You could save the hassle of cutting your hands to bits under the wheel arch and get Halfords to fit your bulbs for £7 Halfords fitting service

Did you jack the front of the car up to give yourself more room under the wheel arches?

That looks ace! Not that Im trying to get you to spend even more money :P but if you wanted to take it one step further you could get a roof spoiler and a twin exhaust like on a type-s :D

I was just going off the threads started up by other auto box owners, Possibly from another forum, that said they were struggling to get decent MPG. Obviously a decent test drive sould show you what you'll get.

I'll have some of these too. :)

Its true that the ES GT is cheaper but they dont have electric heated seats which a freakin ace in this cold weather and they dont have xenon lights which I wouldnt buy a car with out now. Either way any of the 8th gens a worth getting accept the basic ES. Try this site. Blackhorse car sales

I have an EX GT. They come with the Xenon lights, parking sensors, heated electric seats, premium stereo, Body Kit, Sports pedals and rear camera as standard. All accords except the ES have sports suspension. Its not a hard sporty ride so dont worry about it . They a really comfy cars. I'm...

Another thing I forgot to ask was if your MPG is any better removing the DPF. I suppose it will take a while for you to judge it fairly but if you keep us updated that would be great.

I see your after an Auto which means your MPG will be about 45 mpg according to other members. A manual gear box will see you get 50-55 mpg on a motorway.
