    Back box delete - 2.4 saloon.

    More on this for those who are interested. Took off the rear bumper over the weekend to have a look what is going on with the towbar. I'm going to grind the towbar off of the rear bumper beam hopefully this weekend. Also took off the seemingly pointless plastic cover that goes underneath the...

    Back box delete - 2.4 saloon.

    Not a bad shout iron man, would this make it drone loads though when you are sitting at a constant speed? I used to have a classic mini which had a straight through pipe and backbox and the drone was awful! Brett i've got a K&N airfilter on at the minute which does sound fairly decent but...

    Back box delete - 2.4 saloon.

    Dear All, Has anyone removed their back boxes and replaced with straight pipes? As far as i'm aware you don't need backboxes to pass an MOT. If anyone hasn't done something as radical, has anyone replaced just the backboxes to get a better sound? If so how did you do it? I'm not wanting to...

    Weight reduction - 2.4 exec

    I know plenty of you are going to say the whole point of the executive is luxury etc etc, but have any of you done anything to reduce the weight in your Accord? And before you start i only weight 11 stone so can't lose weight haha. Anyone with any positive ideas would be welcomed. Cheers Rich

    Ways to make 2.4 executive slightly louder

    Dear All, Wondering what are the best and most cost effective ways of making the standard 2.4 executive louder. Looking under the car there looks like the CAT then 2 middle boxes and then the twin back boxes. Would taking out the middle boxes and replacing with straight pipe make it any...

    Boot strut failure please help!

    Opened my boot yesterday and heard a clatter and then the boot went really heavy. So the struts have failed. Any idea where i can get replacements? Has anyone replaced them themselves and is it that hard to do? Any advice would be much appreciated Richard

    Best Wax to use?

    Hi what do you recommend is the best wax to use? I've recently brought my 2.4 Exec and I can tell it has been waxed because the water droplets stay on it for ages! The bodywork is near enough immaculate for it's age and I would like to keep it that way. What do you guys think the best wax...

    Clutch Pedal Creaking/Clicking Fix

    Sorry for a comment on an old post but my car has the dreaded clutch pedal squeak. It doesn't actually annoy me that much (at the minute!). If you don't lubricate it or try to sort it out, Is anything likely to break and cost loads of money? Or is it just a case of having to put up with the...

    DIY Cold Air Intake for 7th Gen Petrol

    Hi does the pipe need to be swaged? I can only find straight cut ones. Will this do the job? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/76mm-3-Inch-90-Degree-Bend-Alloy-Metal-Pipe-600mm-Long-Plain-Ends-Polished-/361769787552?hash=item543b28e0a0:g:fFcAAOSwNRdYAKHI Cheers Rich

    Littlebo/UKCL9 CL9/CM2 - K24 Reflash/Remap Test ECU

    Are these maps still available? I have a 2004 2.4 Exec with 163000 miles on the clock (full service history). Would it even be sensible to reflash the ecu or would it bring problems? Car has been so reliable I don't want it to have troubles Cheers Rich
