    NEW Xcarlink available?

    I installed a Xtrons head unit. It works OK, but it seems like the US version of the accord doesn't have a built-in amplifier. The EU version does. Therefore, the Xtrons headunit comes with its own amplifier built into the head unit (most probably with poor isolation/grounding). This means that...

    How do you like to jack? Rails caving in?

    I've jacked my accord up countless times now and the way I've jacked it up has changed depending on the situation. Recently, I've started jacking it up on the seal seems/pinch welds (a few inches right of B and left of C) so that there's enough room to fit my axle stands under points B and C...

    Yeah, the mk 8 has retainers, as indicated in the parts diagram (Part #12 and #13). The mk 7 doesn't. Here's the mk 7:

    Rear pads, caliper tins missing?

    Yes, but for the rear. I just spoke to a Honda parts dealer and they said that there are no shims for the rear, only the front. That answers this question then! :)

    Rear pads, caliper tins missing?

    Hi 2005, 2.0 L, Accord, Executive, Manual, CL7. Changing the rear pads and discs. The tin inserts that clip into the calipers are missing. The ears of the pads then sit on those tins and the smoother thing allows them to slide back and forth as the piston contracts and releases. Anybody know...

    Stolen Catalytic Converter Parts List

    No worries, happy to help. I'm sorry these scum bags have done this twice to you/family! Oh, I haven't heard of the male connectors being cut off in thefts. I'm guessing the garage did this? I don't understand why they would? It's impossible for a thief to get access to the male connectors and...

    Stolen Catalytic Converter Parts List

    Ahhh, is the CEL coming with the code P0141 by any chance? Mine did this. I bought a cheap A/F sensor and post-cat sensor from eBay. P0141 relates to the post-cat sensor, so I went on rockauto and purchased an OEM brand sensor (Denso) and refitted that. The CEL was still on after installation...

    Buying a used Honda Accord

    Ahhh, I see the problem. The K20A6 is only used in the 2003-2005. From 2006-2008 this was then replaced by the K20Z2 (according to the Accord Shop Manual). However, both engines are listed as using i-VTEC (see below)

    Buying a used Honda Accord

    Are you sure that's correct? The 2006 CL7 and CL9 model codes both have 4-stroke DOHC i-VTEC engines. The K20Z2 and the K24A3 are the engine codes of the 2.0L and 2.4L engines respectively. What do you mean by "full vtech experience"?
