    Accord Euro R Vibration Issues - Any Thoughts?

    Hi All! Not been on for a LONG time, as the Accord's moved on, but just I’ve had a mechanic friend of mine get in touch with an issue he’s trying to resolve on a Euro R Accord (’05) that he’s got in: (The R8, is the mechanic’s – lucky sod!) The problem – a vibration that usually, but not...

    Interior Light Dimmer Wire?

    I'm about to plumb in a boost gauge, which has a feed to wire into the car's night-time dimmer function for the dash and other interior lights. Does anyone know what wire to tap for that on a 7th Gen Facelift CTDi? There must be one somewhere, as the dials dim when the lights go on. Whichever...

    CTDi Hybrid Turbo Install

    I've been running a Stage 2 EGR Off Map, which I've been very happy with, for quite a while now, but have also been tracking what a few people over on Civinfo have been doing in terms of creating a 'Hybrid' CTDi turbo and looking to achieve power well over 200hp. This has really progressed in...

    Shadow Chrome refurb, New Clutch and other jobs!

    I've taken time this summer to sort out a lot of to-do jobs for the Accord - New front and rear Ferodo Discs/Pads, Full Service with Millers Nano Oil and full refurb of my spare ATR Calipers. I also sent off my standard 17" EX Alloys for a refurb, but didn't want to get them diamond cut again...

    Re-Building Front Brake Calipers - Question!

    Recently I decided to refurb my spare standard front brake calipers, just to have them ready in case I ever needed them. I've refurbed quite a few sets of brakes before, so wasn't concerned. I also got OEM Honda refurb kits as I don't like the quality of aftermarket ones. All was fine until I...

    Replacement Wiring Loom Multiplugs

    Can you get replacement wiring loom multiplugs and terminals from Honda? I'm in the middle of installing a reverse camera and the terminal housing I've bought doesn't fit the socket on the back of the Navi DVD. However - I've noticed that the socket on the Navi DVD is exactly the same as...

    PAS Rack - Common across all Mk7s?

    After an argument with a rain-filled pothole my PAS rack is knackered. The NS of the rack is pi**ing out fluid; it looks like the seal is gone and the arm is probably bent. I'm looking to source a second-hand rack, but want to check: Is the PAS rack common to both pre- and post-facelift Gen 7...

    NSF Lower Suspension Arm - Which One?

    After an argument with a water-filled pothole, which my NSF tyre lost, I've noticed a the Accord now pulls to the left. When I checked the Geometry the castor on the NSF was out quite a bit and I was told it was probably the lower suspension arm, as apparently it bends easily when subjected to...

    Help - Dealer overfilled oil

    After thinking my hesitation had gone the car started to stagger a little bit today during one drive, which annoyed me, but as I was cleaning the EGR tonight anyway I thought I'd have a close look at it then... When I stripped everything down there was black crud everywhere - the MAP was...

    Still have hesitation after FSV change

    I had a slight hesitation when I bought my CTDi, but the Elite Remap really highlighted that there was a problem. I cleaned the swirl valve, MAF and MAP sensors, EGR (although, I think, not properly) and what parts of the intake manifold I could get to, but this didn't change anything. I then...
