Hi all, I'm looking to get a K&N Typhoon on my Accord 2.0 (K20A6). Unfortunately I had the crappy experience of suffering with tinnitus recently. Whilst I have no hearing loss or measurable damage to my ear; I am concerned about sound inside the car with a open CAI fitted. Before I go ahead...

Hello all, I am looking to change my standard Accord steering wheel (with cruise and radio function) for a EP3 Type R steering wheel (will lose cruise and radio function) Is it as simple as buying the steering wheel and fitting; or do I need any adapters etc. to make it work? Thanks for any...

Hi all, Was slightly bored on Friday, so thought I'd see if any RR's had a free slot. Found one with a Dyno Dynamics one and booked on. Car run with 132,000 miles and results were Horsepower - 150.7 (Honda state 153) Torque - 143.8 lb/ft (not sure what Honda state) This gave me 123.6...

Hi all, Planning to play with my K20A6 Accord. Yes I understand that it's not worth it for the gains, better off buying a 2.4 etc. but I love the thought of my 2.0 with 170 BHP setup for handling. Can I fit an uprated Exhaust manifold and exhaust with standard cams? Or will I lose power and...

Hi everyone, I'm going to change the oil and transmission fluid on my 2.0 Sport. I believe there is a specific tool to remove the filter; I'm unsure of which size to use though. Can anyone link me to the correct tool for removing the oil filter? I'm also looking for a gearbox key to drain the...

Hi all, My exhaust is blowing heavily now in a couple of places. I'm interested in getting something free-flowing, from the cat back. Only issue is I am currently recovering from tinnitus, which I've had a year and a half (although appears to be getting better thank God). Does anyone know of...

Hi all, Fitting a Skunk2 gear knob to my Accord; the standard one has seen better days! Question: the standard gear knob is clipped to the gaitor to stop the boot pulling away from the knob; therefore exposing the threaded bar underneath. Having looked at the Skunk2 version, it doesn't have...

Hi all, How is the gear knob removed? I've tried both twisting and pulling with no success. Thanks for any help.

Hi all, I've noticed a hesitancy on cold starts. When I first start the car in the morning (on a cold engine), there appears to be a hesitancy low down for the first minute or so. It disappears though and runs fine, despite the engine obviously still being cold. I've recently replaced plugs...

Hi all, Replacing my passenger front wing at the weekend. Does anyone have a guide or photos on how to remove the wing? Thanks for any help.

As the ***le above. Are the 7th gen saloon and tourer front wings the same? Thanks for any info. Stu

Hi all, Having come from a line of modified cars; I can't help but play with the Accord I've just bought. I know it won't gain much in the way of power as the engine wasn't designed for outright power. I'm looking at 3 induction kits at the moment. 1) Weapon R Secret Weapon 2) CT...

Hi all, I have just checked the wheels on my new Accord. It appears they're 17" Penta's. Are these the standard fitment for a sport? The reason I ask is that I noticed a label over what appears to be the original label inside my drivers side door card; which states the tyre pressure and sizes...

Currently changing my coolant on a 2.0 i-vtec engine. I have followed Honda's method using the handbook. I've got to the final section where it states: 1) Fill coolant up to base of radiator neck (expansion tank filled to MAX too). 2) Secure the radiator cap to the first stop. 3) Start the...

Hi all, 7th gen Accord owner; with the K20A6 engine. I've noticed a rattle on what appears to be the left hand side of the engine bay. It only happens above 4500-5000 RPM, and only happens when accelerating hard. If I let off the throttle the sound dissappears even if the revs are still above...

Hi all, Have hopefully got myself a new Accord 2.0 i-VTEC (2003). Couple of questions before I test drive: 1) Should I feel some form of changeover on the K20A6 engine? I've seen the 2.4 i-VTEC changeover at 5800 RPM on youtube and was wondering if the 2.0 would be similar? (I used to have an...
