Recently stumbled onto these on e-bay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Front-OE-Brake-Calipers-CL-TL-INTEGRA-TYPE-S-R-ACCORD-CR-V-VIGOR-PRELUDE-ODYSSEY-/272003552171?hash=item3f54acd3ab:g:kl8AAOSw9mFWGEUw They are from the United States so not really sure if they will fit 7th gen. I know euro accord...

Hey guys, Recently acquired an HDS clone and ran a test to see the health of my injectors. This is what came out: Is this something I need to worry about (lots of red on that picture but no values of any sort to reference against)?

Should checking the coolant levels be done with a warm or cold engine? I ask because with a warm engine, coolant level is at max, but with a cold engine it is below min and not sure if i need to top-up.

Hey guys, On friday I decided to get my car tested on a dyno because I wanted to know exactly how much power I am running (it was mapped via file-only). To my surprise max power was 120 bhp at the engine and the dyno plot showed it dropping after ~2700 rpm. Don't think its a problem with the...

The cigarette lighter under my armrest stopped working today. (I have a seat warmer plugged into it which was working fine for 1-2 weeks). The interesting thing is the other cigarette lighter in the front ashtray works fine. Does anyone know if they are on separate fuses and what fuse #s I...

I have vertical lines on my rear disks on both sides (left is worse than right). The fronts are fine as I recently had them changed. Is this something I need to worry about?

Hi, Does anyone know if there any major differences between the 2.2 I-DTEC and the 180 hp Type-S version in terms of engine/turbo/intercooler or is it just an ECU tweak and bigger wheels? If it is the latter I would probably prefer to just get the 150 bhp version and get a remap/dpf removal...

My car heats up really really slowly when it is colder outside. Sometimes (under -10 C) it wont even reach operating temp during my commute to work (~15 miles). Is this normal? Can I check if my thermostat might be on its way out somehow? Also the temp gauge inside the car (which reads the...

Hey guys, I have a snapping sound coming from the front of my car when going over irregularities on the road. The sound can be best described as the same sound that one makes when they "tsk" with dissaproval. I can only hear it when I have the window open and when going over small...

If I was after maximum acceleration what would my optimal shift points be on the 2.2 diesel? Should i be shifting right around redline at 4.5k RPM or should I do it lower because the max torque and max hp is lower down on the diesel engine? I am using the Premier EGR delete stage 1 map.

Ive got some serious shudder when braking from high speeds, it isnt very annoying around town but quite bad on A roads. Initially I figured warped brake discs but yesterday driving on a smooth highway at steady 70 mph there are also vibrations in the cabin and steering wheel. My friend riding...

Its about time for me to change my front brake pads as they are getting quite low. I was reading a bit on EBC Greenstuff a while ago and a lot of people seem happier with them compared to Honda OEM. Any advice? I think I also might need to change the discs as they have a bit of a groove so...

Anyone else notice a significant power drop when driving around in warmer weather? It was ~30 C here the last few days and on a longer journey I noticed the car not pulling nearly as well as I am used to. Anyone else experience this? I'm trying to get a handle on whether it might be related to...

Coming home from work today, as I was stopping at a red light check engine came on as well as VSA. Car went completely limp and holding steady at about 1100 RPM (no change in RPM while pushing/releasing gas pedal!). I turned it off and read codes and got P2138 and P1248. Started it back up a...

I'm thinking about getting some ATR calipers as I'm not too thrilled with the Accord's brakes. Only thing bugging me is my winter tires are on 16" steel wheels and if the ATR calipers are significantly larger is there a chance of the wheels not fitting? Also I will need to change discs and pads...

So my car has been starting a bit slower lately so I opened up the hood to check out the battery and lo and behold this is what i found: I cleaned it all with a wire brush and then checked the battery with a multimeter. It was reading 12.75 volts and with the car on it read 14.3 volts. When...

Is anyone here running the Premier stage 2 egr off on the stock honda 325 clutch? I was considering switching from the Celtic tuning stage 1 to a premier remap and cannot decide between stage 1 egr off and stage 2 egr off. Also if anyone has experience switching from celtic to premier could...

AFAIK the Accord I-CTDI is equipped with a gas ***ist heater to allow it to warm up faster in cold weather. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to check if mine is working? I have a feeling it isnt as it takes quite a while to get warm air blowing (once the temperature needle starts moving)...

Hi guys I have a 2008 Accord I-CTDI with 80,000 km on it and was wondering about the oil change frequency. In the owner's manual it recomends oil changes at every 20,000 km which seems a bit much for me especially with the fuel filter being changed every other oil change (ie 40,000 km). I know...
