Does anyone know at all if there any meaningful upgrades beyond cosmetic to the facelift 7th gen petrol 2 litre?

Hi all. I have searched on this and the only real detail I can find is around the diesel. What I'm looking to find out is the main differences in a 2 litre petrol, pre and post facelift, and if there are any advantages at all to the pre-facelift engine set-up. What I have found so far is K20A6...

Nice one. Love that brochure! Pity on the sound system, guess it's probably ok though. Odd decision by Honda not to even offer the premium sound as an option in the Type S, given sporty suspension loving people might also like to play their music loud... I had also been thinking of sourcing...

Resurrecting an old thread here rather than start a new one, does anyone know if all of he above applies to a 2 litre Type-S v EX seventh gen? Looking at an 08 type S (seventh gen, late 2008 reg so the last of them) currently that's a fair distance away, is the suspension different to the EX...

I had this on my 7th gen petrol 2007 a few times. The first time I got a bigger battery, had to squeeze it in (some outlets said the battery I was buying wouldn't fit, and some did, it was tight, but it fit. 7th gens are heavy on juice from all of my reading over the years, so it made sense to...

Very interesting and good to know thanks btj - makes sense alright, sales not as high as expected and they had all the bits already, so lashed them into the last run of the model

Meaning it isn't a diesel? Any thoughts on that instrument cluster? I've only ever seen them on Autos

Hi gents, Was VSA only available on diesels in the 7th gen, or was it also available/optional on 2008 petrols? I have never seen it before, see link below. Also, have you ever seen a dash like this on a manual? I've been in a few auto 7th gen petrols and I thought this dash was unique to...

thanks Btj, will look for that, he has since clarified its a mist on there so probably fine. Couldnt agree more on people not fixing things before selling - in this case though it's maybe not the worst thing in the world as at least I'm aware of it, ill probably make the point id like it done at...

Yes so oil cap was clean as a whistle and looked good (could have cleaned it off I suppose), but he did say steam so thanks for the heads up, I'll clarify that with him.~ Would it be driving well if the head gasket is gone? The drive was good when I tested it. Also, presuming the only other...

Thanks Btj, if I take it might ask him to hold off on changing the cover and it get it done professionally with the valve clearance adjustment (I would never have known about that so thanks). I'm really not a fan of satnav and doubt I'll ever use it. To be honest I'd prefer to completely...

Thank you so much for all of that Trawa. Good to know on the alignment particularly and will check all of those other issues. Great on the gasket cover that's a relief. On the timing chain specifically, should they be changed at any particular interval, and roughly what's the cost if you...

Evening, currently weighing up going for an 08 2l petrol accord or an 8th gen 2.0 petrol, 2012 facelift - option is basically save money and have a nice car (08 7th gen) or spend (get a loan of a bit more and tighten up on spending) and have a really nice car. Question is about the 8th gen - It...

Gumtree seems ok too I've found.

Might be worried that if it's too strong other vehicles could think it's an oncoming motorbike, or if one on each side, a car approaching full speed, causing them to panic.

Hi gents, Would there be much work involved in taking the cruise control parts (wheel, looms, etc) from one Accord 7th gen petrol manual, and putting it into another 7th gen accord with no cruise control fitted? The first car is a write off but steering wheel and cruise parts would still be in...

Hi all, long time reader and new member. I am based in Ireland and recently slid my beloved 7th gen 2007 off an icy road and into a hedgerow embankment on a country lane, smashing the bumper, bending the bar under the condenser, and the mechanic told me that the chassis is twisted (despite the...
