  1. Until Pete mentioned it i wasn't even aware of there been a dizzy cap. Figured it was electric boxes from mid 90's
  2. Is the general consensus for the standard down turned tips, to cut them before fitting aftermarket trim? Or do they work just straight on despite the downward angle?
  3. Did this and there's a definite ryrhmic judder. Going to see if its simple enough to look into
  4. Yeh I'm missing clock, maybe hazard too. Fan, headlamp washer switch, both on cruise, fog probably too and part of the clocks.. stealth mode!
  5. Look at all those lights on the dash. I need to invest in bulbs a plenty
  6. Mine can crash around a bit. I just put it down to terrible roads. Is psi not too high in those wheels, that can make a difference.
  7. Honda's all over the A59 today, seems every time i go on recently a Type R of some description always ends up behind me. The one today after hooning about beforehand calmed down as he got to me and the road went back to single lane. I turned off to pick up some bits n bobs. On the way back the same car was coming back along again so i ended up behind. Onto the bypass it opened up nicely and he moved to the outer lane despite no one being on the inside and off we went hah 😎 only to come across an integra who'd limped crawling to one side hazards going. I wonder what he thought at the sight of an R and coupe redlining past him unable to join in 😁
  8. Sometimes on my commute a maroon prelude passes the other way, usually at same spot too. We now give each other a knowing nod. Just yesterday i was in the middle of a civic, Legend sandwich outside the shop too. Legend owner only clocked me after reversing out and stopped in the road to eyeball the coupe before going on his way.
  9. All tight and present. Took both sides off checked pads for movement, again all fine. Gave a wipe round and worked sticky pot in and out a few times and with a twist. All back together, noise gone. No real work or ah ha moment but hey ho off i go!
  10. Good point, cheers 👍 Although I swore not to go near them for a while after the long cold dark days and eves cleaning them up. But that sticky pot will need looking at too I'm aware is still on my list. All fun and games.
  11. ARB was rear one. It's when you apply, softly or gently. All sliders and housings thoroughly cleaned up and out and greased at the time. Will jack it when off later this week and check about the place.
  12. As per title, noticed it start the day before MOT and figured they'd pick up on it if serious? Doesn't make a difference if light or hard braking or the speed your doing. A distinctive click is heard in the cabin. Dropped the window on lower speeds and quiet roads and s lot louder and more clunky coming from under the front. Doesn't do it when stationery though, maybe due to brakes firming up? Just can't think what and why 🤔
  13. Definitely need a spoiler on the Accord, finishes off the styling just so.
  14. Hi, always liked the FTO's. I saw one for the first time in a long time yesterday. Everything else around it and modern looks samey and boring. Different is always best 👍
  15. About a thumb sized bit now missing on the inner turned in part near sill. Will pop a picture up tomorrow when i get the chance. Couldn't remember what but knew there was something about the arches. That said, you see some real rotten sheds on the road and smoking away and it always makes you wonder, if mot'd, "how's that passed!?"
  16. Had a bash at cleaning up the many scabby parts on or around the rear subframe for either a paint up or a spraying with the under sealing stuff. Sooooo many arms and links 😫 got a fair amount done before getting rained off and eyes filled with crud. I've got rusty rear wheel arches that have been "fixed" with filler in parts in the past and those fixes are failing, some crumbled off when i poked about. Is that an MOT fail?
  17. Today i was spotted by a civic coupe em1 in green. It was minted and gleaming. Shot up behind me, then the lads inside gave smiling thumbs up as they headed towards a bypass and i turned off. Was mad with myself i didn't detour and have a friendly fly down the empty bypass 🙄 doh.
  18. Such is the way, excuses over potentially building loyalty.
  19. Strewth that's a lot of car and kit 😮
  20. Gorilla glue foams up so be wary My accord badge came off, i just cleaned the area acetone and plastic edged scraper for any residue left.
  21. Certainly does. I just shut vents and the recirculation one. Then plonked a dehumidifier in mine the other day for a few hours. Worked a treat.
