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.
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.
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.
Registration year: 2006
Ownership - 2.5 years
How long are you planning to keep it: I'm happy with it for the time being, but I have a yearning for a petrol Accord or BMW 328/330i
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.
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 to buy some more clay, anyone used this?
