SiR - Fixed

i see that you have drained just the fluid from the gearbox sump, did you drain it from the torque converter too? or just freshened and mixed old with some new?

Yeah I'm going to do another drain and fill in a couple of weeks.
I was warned of doing a full flush on a old gearbox as it could damage the worn seals. Was told it was better to do it this way to dilute the old fluid with new, then same again after about 200miles.

The wagon is looking great Mart you know you want to sell it to me though

Don't you have enough?

[honda-hardy]

looks like this is what ill be doing then. i was going to do the works, inlet and outlet pipes off and drain and fill at the same time.

[mart609]

Yeah Like that vid phil posted up? That's what I was planning on donig.
But then I got talking to this guy on an Accord forum who's worked for Honda for years but now works for himself. Specialises in Accords and he recommended the above

[honda-hardy]

yes, like the vid. partial dilution for me then.

[mart609]

Ok so a friend of mine has some wheels for sale.
He said it was ok for me to go test fit them.
What are your thoughts people?





Do you think with a set of coilovers, there is anyway they will fit?
Sizes are 17x8.5J front 17x9J rear.
offsets are +3 and +8 (I think)

@NafemanNathan anychance of a photoshop lowered?

[nitin_s1]

I don't like it sticking out (paddi-flush)

[rob quilter]

These would look sweet with it lowered too. I really like them, shame they stick out past the arches.

[wurlycorner]

I think the style looks absolutely great too, really works on the car.
Unfortunately have the same caveats as others though - the car would need to be lowered and it doesn't work with them sticking out past the arches

They didn't have spacers on the back of them by any chance, did they?

(that would be too easy )

[mart609]

what about some serious stretch on the tyres and extreme camber?

[craig_jdm]

im not keen they look too euro imo mate
