    Surprise, surprise. I do agree that the 2.0 petrol is a good buy.

    Discounts on new ES GT Accords

    Honda have been behind in the petrol engine stakes for a while now. Reliable they maybe, but they haven't been producing new, efficient, petrol engines for the European market.

    7th Gen value...

    A garage offered me 4K for my '06 2.2 EX which has 71K. I didn't bother going any further.

    new twin disc clutch from CG Motorsport

    Stage 1 remap on the oem clutch should be fine. Budget for a clutch, but as long as you don't continuously rag it then it will handle 285lbs of torque for a while on the standard clutch.

    How do you use TypeAccord & why did you first join?

    Was looking for an Accord so I searched Google and found this place. Very friendly atmosphere. I've learned a lot and have been able to pass on the knowledge.

    Exhaust fumes/smell in cabin I-CTDI

    Sounds like it was a fuel filter problem all along despite the manifold.

    Impressed with my mpg, what's yours?

    Typically around 46mpg which is a combo of motorway and stop-start. Always use v power, best fuel for the Accord, and it pays for itself with the vouchers.

    speaker upgrade

    My rears have JBL 100 watts and they transformed the sound quality. The fronts are standard. I'm pretty happy with the bass because of the rears.

    Nothing yet. Petrol ones at dealers are hard to come by.

    Ignoring Cracked Exhaust Manifold

    I haven't notice a big issue with the fueling; on the motorway it has been fine with the mpg. Sure, I need to get it done and just seen the kit on ebay. I might purchase the kit and get my local garage to do it at some point.

    Looking at 8th gen petrols.

    The front spoiler was loose and it required new brake pads all round. I decided to walk away. I was offered 4k for EX ctdi.
