    Oil seals - Accord Type R

    Hi all, In the words of my mechanic, the ATR is "p155ing" oil and he has recommended I get all the oil seals replaced sharpish. He has said it is an engine-out job and is looking at £1200 to carry out the work. Am I alone in thinking this sounds steep? Has anyone else had this done and...

    Recaro Seats from Accord Type R in 7th Gen Accord?

    Hi, I used to have an ATR and to this day i still think the Recaro's that came in it are the best seats I ever had. SO, I bought some as a bit of an impulse, with fixings and rails from an 2001 ATR (seeing it as scrap brought a tear to my eye) - does anyone know if these will even fit in the...

    All, Just been in to Honda as my car was recalled for this faulty air bag thing. I expected them to try and sell me a new car tell me mine needs loads of work for their over-inflated labour costs! Well after resisting the former, they got me on the latter. I had noticed a small amount of...
