    HATCHBACK REAR SPOILER

    Yeah, I used my little bro to mock it up a while back :lol: needs spraying and some holes drilled into the boot but I'll get it sorted when the weather is better. That low, long spoiler really reminds me of the mugen boot lid spoiler from a Prelude. Looks pretty sick at any rate :) a roof...

    HATCHBACK REAR SPOILER

    Isn't that an original 6th gen Accord spoiler?? Looks like the one off the sport model or it may have been an optional extra, I've seen a few around locally. Have you looked to other Honda's for inspiration? I have a Wings West spoiler from a Prelude waiting to go on my Accord :)

    LedStrips

    I think it looks fine. I put a long thin strip around my front headlights, hoping for a slightly more subtle look. Don't think I have a pic as I blew the engine not long afterwards :(

    There's something wrong with my car

    Check the treads of your tyres for horse s****?? We have horses in the family and I have got it stuck in the treads before when up the yard, doesn't smell great. If you're using rural roads then there's a small chance it could be that I guess. Although if this has been going on for a while it's...

    Heated leather seats install

    I just happen to have a set of heated seats from my SE Exec next to me, so allow me to chuck my 2p in :lol: Under the seat you should have 2 connectors as below. Yellow is the side airbag, I don't know if the S trim level has these but if it does you should have a connector for this, and if...

    "My '87 Accord GSi"

    Changed the air filter today as it really needed it - look how filthy the old one was :lol: Last night I also fitted a new lense to the passenger door courtesy light as the old lense broke a while back... Before: After: Much better :)

    "My '87 Accord GSi"

    Sad news regarding the Accord today... Laura went to go do the food shop, and returned incredibly quickly looking very sheepish. Turns out she misjudged how much space she had and clipped a pillar :( I'm not annoyed at her but she's distraught as she knows the car means a lot to me. She's...

    Supercharged CL9?

    Here's a video of a Mk1 Golf having some fun with some serious/expensive motors. I'd rather of built the Golf than bought the Porsche/Toyota if I had to pick!! I doubt it was cheap, but I bet he has a grin every time he drives it :lol: Turbo Golf! Here's another stupidly fast Mk1 Golf Even...

    6th Gen 2.0 Coupe, suspension knocking

    You can indeed change the ball joints out, I have done this on my 6th Gen hatch and the arms look identical. I can't comment on the quality though as my car hasn't moved since :lol:

    Engine swap

    No :lol: Still waiting on my OBDII H22A engine to arrive, then got to flat bed the Accord over to my house. But before I can take delivery of the Accord, I need to sink a bit of cash into the Golf and 2 Preludes :lol: I'm actually drawing up a spreadsheet of costs so I can budget it out and...

    Engine swap

    Well I've been at my new house since June, and rather than getting this sorted I have taken on other projects instead, and I have pretty much wasted the summer!! My bad. I'm slowly sorting my list of other cars though, basically I need to get my 6th gen Accord into the Garage but my Golf and 2...

    4th Gen Coupe on eBay

    That can also play in your favour as a seller though - I have a couple of cars that I'd pay through the nose just to get the right part, as there's no other sources available for them anymore :(

    4th Gen Coupe on eBay

    Worth more in parts maybe? Most of my cars are :lol: If this had've been in Sussex I'd have been over in my mate's flatbed. I do like a nice 4th gen!

    Rear heated seats?!

    One thing to consider though is that leather isn't popular in Japan and the climate is warm and humid, so I'd be surprised if heated seats are popular/an option out there. Most cars have half mast aerials out there though, my BB4 has a half mast switch in this awkward position ;)

    Rear heated seats?!

    I've always wondered what was meant to go there. I fitted a touch sensitive switch for my DRL's there. Thinking about it, that hole could be for a half mast or parking pole switch on JDM models, from what I've seen they share interiors with UKDM's

    "My '87 Accord GSi"

    Time for a little update - since selling the Xsara I've kind of shot myself in the foot as my girlfriend now uses the Accord as her daily, and I'm in the Scirocco :lol: I rarely drive the Accord now :( this may explain my sudden surge of motivation to fix the other Hondas :lol: Oh well. Laura...

    "My '87 Accord GSi"

    I'm off on holiday for a week tomorrow, so thought I'd bring the scirocco off the hard standing on the grass verge and onto the driveway so that all the cars were safely on my drive. And my girlfriend said 2 cars wouldn't fit side by side on the drive :lol: See you all in a week chaps :)
