    Painting interior trim

    Thought I'd have a bash at painting the ghastly walnut trim on my 6th gen, no before pics (nobody deserves to have to look at fake walnut trim) but here's how it came out: I went for gloss black as that's the first can I found in the cupboard, but I may colour code it to my bodywork in the...

    ALB Problem

    Guys, On my GSi the anti-lock brake warning lamp is on, so currently I can't get an MOT :( It goes out if I depress the brake though... I've no idea what might be causing this. My first guess is possibly seized brakes, but why would pressing the pedal fix this? I've just literally had another...

    "My '87 Accord GSi"

    Hi Guys, I picked up my latest car today :) Most of you have probably seen it in my other posts, but here it is out in daylight :wub: I've got to say it's absolutely lovely, and I'm really proud to be taking ownership of this car. It's fantastic to drive - the DOHC block pulls like a...

    Pre-Facelift Bumper

    Hi folks, Just a quick one - does the pre-facelift saloon rear bumper fit the post facelift hatchback? I've been trying to work it out from photos, but can't decide if the bumper is any different in length as it doesn't really look like it is - I know the boot is, but if you look at the rear of...

    ATR Dials

    Hi Folks, Just thinking, my SE Exec tachometer doesn't read out high enough for the H series engine I'm putting in the car. If I swap them out for ATR clocks, will the speed and revs be displayed accurately on them? I'd also like to keep my mileage correct, is there somewhere that can...

    Hatchback/Saloon boot difference?

    Hi folks, I'm just wondering if the boot on the 6th gen hatchback is different in width to the boot on a saloon? I quite fancy a spoiler, but all the aftermarket ones seem to be listed as for the saloon and not the hatch :( could a saloon spoiler be fitted to a hatchback? Cheers, Josh

    IAB's

    Hi Folks, So I'm taking my inlet manifold apart currently to make getting the engine out easier, and I spotted these! I didn't realise IABs were fitted to the 6th gen! Out of interest are they only fitted to the 2 litre, or did all 6th gens run them? Could be an area to look at when tuning...

    Steering Wheel Removal

    Hi guys, Having a bit of trouble getting my steering wheel off :/ thought it'd be like my Golf, just pull the front cover off and unbolt, however the front cover seems to be stuck fast on, if I pry at it then it bends at the edge with the centre staying firmly fixed. Is there some special way...

    Headlight Washers

    Hi Folks, I bought my Accord over a year ago now, and the whole time I've had it the headlight washers haven't been functioning. It's one of those little problems you keep putting off as it doesn't really affect day to day driving, but I kind of feel it's time to tackle it lol. So far I've...
