Well there's someone selling a set with "HID ballasts" which I never knew they had from stock. I ***ume that means it's been converted, IIRC not even the Type-R's has the correct lenses to work with HID's.

You can save yourself ALOT of hassle if you keep the bottom half of the box on the car. When you pull that out, it is a nightmare to get it back on. So as Exec says, undo the clip and pull it off, then resume lifting off the top half and it should be fairly straight forward. It is a pain in the...

There's me thinking it was a straght swap, damn. Thanks for the heads up guys I think it's probably best I leave it if that's the case. Though I know that some non Type R's had Type R style lights, would they be a straight swap?

Ok dumb question here but just making sure, are the headlights on the Type-R Accord compatible with the ordinary boring one? Also does it matter if it's a facelift or not?

Excuse me? :rolleyes:

Arn't all the codes unique to each unit?

No, i'm using the ones that deliberately stick out, they were used to hold he wheel trims on and also to look aesthetically good.

Go on ebay and look up "breaking accord". There are tonnes and I should think you would probably get one for less than 50 quid.

It looks to be a nice example but with 140k on the clock and "10 stamps" in the book (sounds not enough for 140k to me), he's asking at least good grand over what it's truely worth. Maybe £1500 but that dealer is going to have to be stuck with it a good while before he wakes up and smells the...

They used to be ones that hold wheel trims on so they arn't designed to hide under alloy caps.

Hmmm, mine are 15's and AFAIK, only the Sport Accords had them in 4-stud paterns. So how come mine are only 15's? Unless you could upgrade them to an inch larger or something? Very strange. Still, there's a Prelude with a set of caps on eBay that are available. Hopefully they are still there...

Sorry for the super late reply. Bought (well paid over the odds) for a single cap to see if they fit (was advertised as 17" and it appears they do, IF the wheel nuts dont stick out further than the studs (which they do for me sadly). So I guess il have to go shopping for new wheel nuts too. :(...

Fair enough, just thought i'd let you know just in case. Around here, you would get knicked for it in no time, though you would be amazed what some people (or Barry's) get away with in terms of plate fonts. What's next? I should think getting "EuroR" badging can't be easy...

Very nice indeed. Just to note, your font isn't a legal one on your plates, not sure if you bought it like that or not. If a copper fancies it, you may face a £60 fine. Plus they are phasing out tax discs next year (info is going to be recorded electronicly on reg reading machines) it might...

I am seeking out some center caps for a set of 15" wheels that look like this: I found these on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261424533584?ssPageName=STRK:MEBOFFX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1432.l2649 However they are listed as 17" caps so my question is, does anyone know if the centre caps are the...

I seem to get a squeek when the car is moving at a certain speed and about 3rd / 4th gear, and another coming fro mthe engine when idling. I went around with a tin of GT85 in the engine bay on the moving bits but have yet to take it out for a proper drive to see if it worked. Sadly I don't live...

There's alot of niggles with mine, got to figure out what some of the squeeks are and an occasional knock (probably a ball joint or bush). Only thing I got round to fixing is a *** ligghter socket lol. Il leave them for a service/MOT which will be in the next couple of months and then look into...

Depending who you choose, i'd read the feedback of the sellers. One I saw was a guy selling what looks like a generic rubberized plastic which is for door selals (from what people were discribing) but listing it as a boot lip. Not to mention it's apparently sold rolled up, i'm pretty sure boot...

Well while the engine is warmed up, it blows a fair bit for me and makes very low pitch note (as if there was a large hole in an exhaust system). I always ***umed this was normal myself but I wouldn't know for sure.

I saw something like this on "Wheeler Dealers" with the mechanic (Edd China) using the probe to listen to a Supercharger that was found to be the cause of the grinding noise. Might be useful if you know what to listen out for or know what the correct sounds are/arn't.
