    Exhausts, braces and other mods.

    Hi all. As alot of 6th gen owners know, modding is very limited here in the UK due to the lack of parts available. It seems alot of parts can be had for the 5th gen though. So I ask, how different are the 5th gens compared to the 6th? I.e would a cat back system (on eBay) for a 5th gen fit a 6th...

    Manifold and Down pipe - Jap speed accord 98-02

    I have also looked into this and e-mailed japspeed about the sensor and they replied saying they've not come accross the problem but if I do it's easy to just space out the sensor. Are the spacers essentially just o-rings?

    Rewinding Brake Caliper

    I did this on my 1999 accord the other day, in the end I used a ball joint splicer (dont know the exact name) but it's essentially a big two pronged fork that fit perfectly :)

    Diagnosing horrible whining noise

    So after being in hospital for a burst appendix, I finally got the chance to fit the 'new' pump today (couldnt find an actual new one anywhere so had to settle for an ebay one with a money back guarantee). So I fitted everything, drained/topped up PSF and switched the ignition on.........still a...

    Diagnosing horrible whining noise

    Yeah I'm going to grab a new belt in a minute. I've just thought though, if it was the belt wouldn't it squeal as oppose to whine? Another thing is that when the noise was there, it would be worse when I turned the wheel and get louder the more I turned. I think it may well be the pump

    Diagnosing horrible whining noise

    Ok guys well I removed the PS belt and hey presto! No noise! (but I now have 2 aching arms where I did a quick test drive, non- power steering sucks!) I inspected the belt and couldn't see any obvious major tears or defects but it dad have loads of tiny little tears all the way along on all the...

    Diagnosing horrible whining noise

    Yeah if it's the pump I'll do that anyway. Is it worth taking it to a garage to double check or can we pretty much safely say it's the pump in this case? Oh and where can I get a new pump from? I'm having difficulty finding one anywhere. There are plenty used ones on eBay but I don't want to...

    Diagnosing horrible whining noise

    Hi all, So within the last week my 1999 accord 2.0 (manual) has progressively developed a horrible whining noise. At first it was hardly noticeable and would go away when above approx 30mph. But now it's much louder and although it gets quieter at higher speeds, it's still there. There doesn't...

    JDM F20B Bluetop

    How much scope is there for modifying a H22A7 motor? I.e, with my F20B6 all I can seem to do is put on an induction kit and an exhaust. How far can you take the H22A7?

    JDM F20B Bluetop

    I keep seeing videos of H22A's that have been turbo'd, I thought they were awful for boosting?

    JDM F20B Bluetop

    I would buy a type-r but I can't justify the £2000 insurance hike. (sounds mad but it's ridiculous how much it goes up by!) I have been looking for A7 motor but remembered someone saying the same about the F20B being better for FI, which is always something to bear in mind :)

    JDM F20B Bluetop

    Shiny- The blue top is a DOHC F20B so much better than the Standard SOHC F20B Josh- I would imagine i could just convert the motor without all the other bits as didn't some Accords come with the blue top from factory (rare)? So therefore I would've thought all the gearbox/ancillaries etc should...

    JDM F20B Bluetop

    Hi all, I currently have the UKDM F20B6 SOHC in my 99 accord. Will a JDM F20B blue top (DOHC) be able to dorp straight in? Also, could I use my current gearbox, ancillaries etc and literally just swap in the blue top motor? I ask as the blue top I have my eye on came from an Auto and mine is...

    Time to change front seats.

    Hi all, So after fitting my ATR rear bench in my 2.0 SE, I now have the urge to change the fronts too. My question is though, can I use the seats from an EP3 or Integra DC2 etc? Because there seems to be more sets around of these and I also like the look more. What sort of work would be involved?

    Have I got bose?

    Thanks for that :) will the 30-35mm drop offered by the Eibach springs be enough to close that awful gap? (I don't want it slammed just close that gap lol). Just out of interest, would a typhoon from an ATR fit a F20? Surely if the bore of the induction hose is the same? Also what are my options...

    Decent OBD2 Scanner

    Hi all, Basically just looking for a OBD2 scanner for my 99 accord 2.0. Been looking on eBay but there's so many and I'm not a car tech wizard so don't wanna buy the wrong one. So could someone advise me? I'm looking for one that isn't just a cable but an actual unit that I can plug in and it...

    Fuel Economy - Procative Steps/Advice?

    In my 2.0 6th gen I'm averaging at 41mpg and that's hitting vtec quite frequently (if I want to go anywhere I pretty much have to always go on the A38). What I have noticed though, is that driving 'economically' doesn't make a dramatic difference in my case, maybe 1-2mpg difference. If I really...

    Have I got bose?

    Thanks bud, yeah I'm not into stupidly massive/ in yer face alloys, I prefer the uprated OEM ones such as type-r alloys. I've seen some good reviews on the BC Racing coilies so I'm just going to bite the bullet and go all out on them instead of buying springs (I plan on keeping the car a while...
