    honda accord spoiler

    I love that kit, iirc there's a roof spoiler that goes with that body kit that looks the mutts nuts.

    Tyre Pressure / Electric Seat

    The higher the tyre pressure the less of a contact patch you have iirc, I wouldn't run over the recommended pressure for the load you're carrying as it could be detrimental to your handling/braking when you need it most...

    honda accord spoiler

    I have a Wings West boot spoiler off of an Integra or Prelude (can't remember which :lol: ). It's fairly wide but when offered up to my hatchback it will fit, just needs a couple of holes. I can't speak for the aftermarket spoilers, but the OEM ducktail on my 3rd gen Accord and second 2nd...

    engine swap

    If you get the H22A7 out of an ATR along with the ancilliaries, manifolds & ECU then you should be pretty much good to go. If you get a prelude engine then get one out of a 5th gen as it'll save you swapping engine looms over - also if you get a Prelude engine you'll need the nearside engine...

    where do i get a turbo kit from for my f20?

    Horses for courses I think. Some use their head some use their heart, but either way as long as you're happy with what you're doing it doesn't matter where you chuck your money really - it's a hobby after all? Prime example - my mk2 Golf is/was a 1.6 8v driver with a carby engine. Bit...

    Car Mats

    Just search tailored car mats in google, there's a few places that do them. Or punch 'tailored car mats accord' into eBay, I got a set for my Civic for £15 and they weren't bad at all. Or get some of the boy racer universal ones from Halfords, I still have a set of those with a stainless steel...

    "My '87 Accord GSi"

    It lives!! The Valeo alternator was an awful fit, but with some modifications it's finally in. The Accord is off to my parents house tomorrow though, won't see it again until they move to the farm they bought I doubt :(

    Prelude wheelnuts fit 6th gen 4-stud?

    Yes mate they should, I've swapped the wheel nuts between all my Preludes/Accords without any trouble.

    Seagulls....hate them!

    Yeah, car covers are alright but mine kept blowing away. I want one with a 'girth' strap like on a horse's rug but nobody on eBay seems to have them.

    Max loading weight - only 450 kg ?

    Is the weight shown in the handbook an actual legal restriction which VOSA could enforce, or is it just an advisory figure? I'd be interested to know that if anyone knows. On a tangent my Isuzu is a grey import, so the DVLA won't technically have official figures for it. As the VIN plate gives...

    Seagulls....hate them!

    I live bang on the coast too, all my cars are covered in seagull s**** and it has f*cked up that paint on most of them. Lucky for them they're a protected species :angry:

    Mixing oil brands?

    I've never worried about brands, I just put in whatever I have available as long as it's the recommended grade. So far so good, in a variety of different petrol and diesel engines :) My Civic is currently burning oil at an alarming rate, so I don't even do that the decency of keeping the...

    "My '87 Accord GSi"

    Cheers bud :) Got the wheel fitted today: ***** photos as it's dark, but I love it B) I just need a shorter boss now to get the position just how I want it. Now all that I have left to do is the timing belt, water pump and alternator :mellow:

    "My '87 Accord GSi"

    Had this turn up today: I just need to get a boss sorted and I can get this fitted :)

    "My '87 Accord GSi"

    Yeah, I kind of knew it would be a horrible job, but the bracket not taking the new alternator was a real kick in the teeth :( If it had of fitted in without needing a large amount of force then I'd have wrapped it up this evening and had it back on the road. Oh well... I should probably do the...

    "My '87 Accord GSi"

    Right, I tried to tackle this job over the last couple of days. All I can say is what a f****ng ball ache. There is s***t all access as the alternator is on the back of the engine and is blocked by the drive shaft, subframe, air box and chassis leg :angry: The help I had wasn't much use either...

    "My '87 Accord GSi"

    It's not just my Prelude getting treats today, this arrived for my Accord: A Valeo alternator and Gates drive belt :D Will hopefully get these fitted at the weekend, and be back driving the Accord soon :)

    Gunk Engine Degreaser - Engine Bay Clean

    I've poured water into the engine bay of both my BB4 Prelude and mk2 Golf when cleaning them. Both have survived :) I just used WD40 on the electrics, and ran the engines for a bit afterwards to dry them. No fatalities yet :lol: On a tiny side track, I put the cross flow head I bought for my...

    "My '87 Accord GSi"

    Time for an update I think!! So firstly bad news unfortunately :( A few weeks back I was out late driving, when there was a torrential monsoon style downpour. It came out of nowhere and soon there was a lot of surface water on all the local roads. Whilst coming round a corner I forgot about a...
