Hi everyone. I've been going through the process of changing my front suspension including the top arms, lower ball joints, track rod ends etc. As I've been changing the parts the car has much sharper to drive and slowly eliminating the strange wander I had from the steering. Now all that's...

Hi everyone. I need to replace the lower ball joints but on Euros website there are 2 choices for the lower joint. One is 33.4mm and the other is 42mm I think. I've changed the upper arms and that's put the bottom joints out now lol. 90k ball joints all starting to go now. Any idea which...

Since owning my 6th Gen I've noticed that every time I shut the boot it sounded like something was collecting inside the bumper, like gravel or something. So a few weeks ago when I was fitting my Sportex Back Box I noticed what was causing the noise..... When I was underneath I looked up and...

I've seen a few mk6 pre facelift with front a rear skirts. Do these fit the facelift bumpers? Because I've seen a silver accord ay local scrappy with the skirts on. I just wondered if it would be worth removing? Joe

The passenger front door handle has stopped opening the door. It still opens from the inside though. Any ideas? Thanks Joe

I've read a few posts and bits on the internet about the EGR plate on the 6th Gen Accord's but because my Accord is low mileage I didn't think that it would need cleaning out. So as I had nothing to do last weekend I thought what the hell I'll take it apart and see what's what. Oh god! I was so...

For my Birthday my family all chipped in to get me a Sportex Backbox. I'm very impressed with the build quality, service, delivery and most of all the noise! And check out the video's on my YouTube channel. Follow the link below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYdKVypaERk Hope you like...

I tried out some Meguiars ultimate compound on the Accord. I thought it was clean before but I was seriously mistaken! This synthetic compound removed a layer of filth off the car that you could only feel through the cloth during polishing, nothing was actually visible. I done the whole car with...

Since I've owned my mk6 I've had a strange wobble through the car. It's very odd because it feels like it comes through the chassis, not like unbalanced wheels. When I had the wheels refurbished they said no buckles were found and I refitted brand new tyres. I've them precision balanced as...

I've had my Sport Alloy wheels and centre caps fully refurbished. I've also bought some new Honda badges for the centre caps and a new set of tyres for the wheels. Really given her a new lease of life! The wheels have been professionally: Shot blasted Chemically washed/dipped Powder primed...

Gave the old girl a proper valet today. Also fitted diadem indicator bulbs. Look near mint. Ready for her full wheel and centre cap refurb next week! Even treating her to a fresh set of tyres as well.

I've spent the day taking my car apart chasing rust! I did notice the rot on the bulkhead when I bought the car a few months a go. We were graced with a dry sunny weekend, so I grabbed at the chance to sort the rust out properly before the winter really kicks in. It wasn't as bad as I...

This is massive noob question! Are they any specific requirements for the 1.8 induction kit? Can you actually buy a kit or could you just purchase a universal kit with all the joints off eBay? Would that fit correctly (with persuasion) lol. Do they perform better with closed induction or better...

Gave the old girl a treat. The original knob had warn heavily so I got this JDM, solid aluminium gear knob. Looks great!

When I first went to view my Sport, I noticed the headlights had started to go yellow and discoloured. They were nothing compared to some Mk6 Accords I had been to see previously that week, but none the less I still wanted them like new! So I bought a Meguiars Headlight restoration kit off...

I was looking at a stainless steel 4-2-1 manifold and downpipe... but I was having a closer look at the standard one and it looks like a 4-2-1 setup. The manifold is 4 pipes leading to the downpipe which is 2 pipes and that leads into the single pipe flexi joint. So are there benefits from...

What oil is the best choice for the Manual Transmission? I've noticed the gears can be a little crunchy and when driven hard the gearstick get warm. Usually the sign of oil well past its sell by date. Any help much appreciated. Joe

I've noticed that the coolant is going to need changing soon. I was wondering if there is an equivalent to Honda's type 2 coolant or if it just best to use the original product again. Joe

Since I only picked up my mk6 earlier in the week the only things I can pick up on while driving are a noisy rear tyre at exactly 32mph and a very minor knock from the rear. I've eliminated the interior etc. The noise only happens at very low speed 1st gear mainly when you drive over very minor...
