Hi Laird Thanks for the reply, the tow ball is detachable as it's in the spare wheel well, in a leather wallet with some other bits and pieces I haven't checked what's in there to be honest. I'm not sure the kit was fitted after as I bought the car off an oap who I think (will need to check) had it from new, couldn't imagine the couple I bought it off having a kit fitted afterwards, but saying that the way the electrical socket is it may be the case. No problems with the electrics it's just I'm picking up a trailer soon and as mine has the towbar would rather use my own car than borrow someone elses

Hi all been a while since I posted on here hope you're all well. I have a question regarding towbars, now I bet you're thinking who in their right mind would ruin the back end of a coupe, well I'm not...... strictly speaking, you see I found out my coupe has a detachable towbar fitted, I'm assuming this was done from new. The other thing is my coupe has the body kit fitted here's where the problem lies there are 2 electric sockets one tucked away behind the bumper and the other comes down halfway down the rear apron so I can't plug anything into either as I can't get the covers open. I did take a picture but can't upload it for some reason. If anyone has any experience with these towbars do the sockets swing down or can they be moved etc. Thanks in advance

Hi all, My wife's friend dropped her car off this afternoon to have a new starter fitted, anyway I picked up the starter in the honda, as I was getting out of the car a courier driver pulled up at the end of my drive said, "Like your Accord mate do you want to sell it?" After telling him its not for sale I mentioned this site to him told him there are some that come up for sale occasionally. Made me feel proud of the old girl.

Stu your knowledge knows no bounds thank you buddy

Afternoon folks, Just a quick one, do these coupes have fuel level low lights, I'm pretty sure they do, I just can't see where it would be as I haven't seen one yet and I'm sure on the pic I took earlier it would've been on by now

Thanks for the quick replies, Ashy I meant the side lights in the headlights did you use LEDS? My shopping list is getting longer and longer every time I come on this site lol

Amazing looking coupes guys. I think the problem with the lowering springs is that I don't have the weight of the 3.0 in the front so mine might sit a little higher, I'm being silly now but I've seen some 20s on ebay but I think that's pushing it lol. I might stick to 17s or 18s. Ashy couple of questions: What side lights are you using? Where did you get the clear rear lights?

Cheers buddy thanks for the info. AshyV6 if you're reading this I looked at your profile pic love how your coupe sits are they 17s or 18s also do you have any more pics? I've been looking at the American forums some are using coilover sleeves on standard shocks, I didn't think that was possible.

Hi I'm after a set of lowering springs for a 2.0 coupe, not sure if 2.0 and 3.0 have the same springs as I've seen some on ebay but they only say 3.0. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply guys I'll have a look into the headlight washers. Gearbox oil change first stereo bought just need to collect and fit then another set of wheels

The body kit was one of the reasons I went for it. Found a little problem, it's nothing major but I would rather everything be working as it should, the headlight washers, when I press the button I can hear a click from behind the dash but no water comes through the washer jets, the bottle is topped up and the windscreen washers work fine, I've checked the fuses and they seem ok, does anyone know what I can try next?

Here's the wheels I'd love but at £1600 they're a bit pricey, I think staggered dished alloys on the coupe would look fantastic

Thanks again guys I took a couple pics this morning I fitted 2 of the wheels on one side and standard on the other as you can see the Lensos look silly with those tyres as the profile looks wrong. I love big engined cars so will definitely be keeping my eye out for a 3.0 as I said earlier there's one on ebay spares or repair I emailed him said he'd take 110 for it I'm almost tempted

Hi Laird Tyres are 195/45/16 so low profile they definitely have the 4x114.3 took my vernier with me to double check lol. Pics as follows

Hi guys thanks for the warm welcome and advice. I've made my first error in trying to make my coupe look better I bought some alloys today, I didn't want to spend too much as the car didn't cost alot but I wish I hadn't bought them now they're 16" Lensos I fitted one when I got back but because they have low profile tyres fitted they look smaller than the standard 15" Alloys.....doh. Damn these 4x114.3 pcd's. Off to ebay they go. I must say though the drive to worksop to collect them was an absolute pleasure, I always found the m42/a42 stretch a drag but today it just flew by, cruise control on a steady 70-75 absolute effortless and feeling as fresh as a daisy when I got back. So ATF change a must will be doing it tomorrow or Monday and may do a engine oil and filter change too while I'm there. Something I noticed on ebay earlier another accord coupe in purple but 3.0 spares or repairs non runner seller says due to standing for quite a while so battery is flat 2 days to go, bids when I last looked £70!!!! Has had the auto box replaced 5 years ago, only problem is she's in Canterbury, I was going to buy it for spares but it is a fair jaunt to get it. Anyway thanks again for your replies guys, I might just put the other 3 alloys on and take some pics tomorrow watch this space
