    Wind Deflectors

    Hi All, I recently added Heko wind deflectors to my Accord. I also have an FN2 Civic which also has these deflectors fitted and they fit perfectly. With the Accord though, I'm not so sure. In short the problem is that the rubber seal at the top of the window stretches around the deflector. I...

    Front Brake Pads

    Hi, I'm getting a audible drumming sound from the brakes on my Accord 2.4 Type S under braking from speed. I've had a look at the pads, seems like there's plenty still on but thought I'd change them anyway. Does anyone have any suggestions as to which pads would be best and where to get them...

    I've been after a Type S badge for the front grille of my car for ages. Not wanting to pay through the nose at Honda, I decided to try Ebay. Anyway, couldn't find one on the UK site (plenty of Type R badges though!!) so tried the US site instead. Found this: It cost about $5 and really...
