Well I cleaned it ! Probably the 1st time in 5 years.I've had it 13 years now.I would love to share a pic but being PC illiterate I cant attach a pic off my moby.
-
Well I have matched tyres in the Front and rear.Ditched a good Front tyre to get 2 new matched ones.Think the bloke driving the 3 series on the way to work was a bit upset he couldn't lose me.Should have got a bigger engine and hoped I don't drive my car like I stole it.I love this car as much as the day I picked it up.
-
I'll condense my thoughts on this subject.The front wheels do the majority of braking.All of the steering and acceleration.Quite a lot off acceleration in my case.

1998-2002 Accord Coupe Owners Reviews & Feedback

This car is brilliant.Just realised I have had it nearly 10 years now.It still puts a smile on my face every time I get in her.My younger brother who has a couple of GTR32 V specs,S200 and a granny GT86 agrees.My mother who is knocking on 80 thinks I'm the only one with a nice car even though my siblings have new euro boxes.Not sure that's classed as a compliment though.Spent about £500 in the last month on my 2nd cambelt and tyres recently..Webuyanycar.con reckon it's worth £145...........Stick 2 noughts on the end for me.Talking to a colleague at work with a golf and his as depreciated £15000 in 6years.I paid 5k 10 years ago and only got a genuine 65k on the clock.Happy days. -
Yes Dave I have still got 6mm on the rear.I have being looking at my wear rates over the last 9 years of ownership and once they get to 4mm I will bin them all.I realise some members disagree with this view point but after going round the Nurburnring in anger and only getting passed twice I think I know a bit about accord v6's.Hitting 140 on the way home from work and testing the cruise control at 125 and not crashing in 9 years ownerships I reckon I know how the big Honda works.Perhaps some short term owners with pics with shades on know better.
-
Yes Welland.Exactly what they wanted to do.Move the old tyres to the front and new ones at the back.
-
I'll keep an eye on them ditches.I never realised 6mm of rear tread was dangerous.Luckily enough I'm not planning any racing any time soon so hopefully I will keep on the road whilst driving to work and back. I have read all the tyre company's advice and I'm sure the owners of these company's and the shareholders and other "experts" would agree.Unfortunately I'm neither of these so I will make my own mind up.
-
So when I asked for new front tyres you think I really need new rear tyres !
-
Went to my local tyre place to get 2 new FRONT tyres and new valves on the back wheels.Was recommended budget ones as I don't do many miles.Had to explain I use all the 200 bhp so I wanted decent driven tyres. Then they started to fit the new tyres to the rear......I then had to point out I wanted new FRONT tyres but was told there experienced tyre fitters always fit new tyres to the back because of under/over steer.Rear end grip,Braking,Handling efficiency and a load of other absolute garbage. Can see why single Woman hate going to garages etc.

Spot on post.I love my V6.When I have to get in a normal car it feels like s**t.17years old but what a car ! -
Yeah but its also 160,000 quarter mile runs.......lol
-
Brilliant comment Dave.The council snow ploughed the street and then it froze.Could nt use it for a week.

It's like a Japanese Rolls Royce.And yes I know it was made in Cincinnati.Think it's strange that my Honda bike was made in Spain and my last Honda bike was made in Brazil.
-
I'm a bit confused.Got the V6 with 27,000 miles 8 1/2years ago.Last week at 65,000 Honda changed the ATF with 1 litre of DW1(Don't seem like much).I've never had it changed before.Any advice ? Thanks Fella's
-
It was last week.Will have a check.Thanks for the advice.Surely 40 miles won't hurt it.
-
Well if anyone wants to have a look at it I'm OK with that.As a bonus I am a machinist within the aerospace industry so if you wanted a one off part making perhaps you ought to get in touch.I can't promise anything though.
-
Got the oil and filter changed in June at it's mot.Only done 350 miles since.Love my coupe but prefer 2 wheels until the snow and frost make an appearance.

Got mine fixed at the main dealer for £75 fitted.Im too old to be messing about in the foot well but good tips and pics all the same. -
Will monitor things with the recent changes.Reckon you lot ought to work for Honda.lol.They have an ethics code and a moral duty of care to there customers before condemning your car. So have Honda put the wrong ATF in the box ?Its a bit late for me to be looking for the receipt just now. Cheers. ? I can insert a smiley now in spite of being close to my dotage.Still can't suss out your cars though.? One last question.Can I put a video on here ? Thank-you.

Up north in between Hull and Beverley.Will hopefully see you all in a meet soon.Cant see any planned meetings but as I said I'm just trying to get used to the site.
-
Just trying to get used to navigating this brilliant site.Where do you all live roughly and how do I look at pics of your cars ? . Thank-you Tony
-
Thank-you for the compliments.After 8 years it still puts a smile on my face.Saw a branny in 2000 and thought that's a nice looking car.Will get some more pics on this weekend. Cheers.
