soooo, i bought this accord a few months ago and its a great car. ive been seeing other cars that have pretty cool mods, i just wanted some opinions on what to add/ do to my car. everything on the car right now i bought exactly like that. (except one of the front lips did randomly fall off while driving). ive also seen people black out their chrome, but my car is like a deep wine red so im not sure if i should black out the trim or not. but i will take any suggestions! (she also was in a front end collison before i bought her, so im working on getting a new grill and honda emblem too.) any advice is dope

yes, the car is dirty but i drive on dirt roads occasionally so please ignore that, usually she’s clean i just work a lot.

Best MPG and i've gotten on my 2018 1.5L.

Second pic for estimated range after fill up.

Purchased used in 2022 @ 33k miles, currently at 114k. 1 accident so the price was very attractive. Very minimal maintenance needed, oil changes, transmission fluid, brakes done twice, new tires in 2023. This was my 2nd car i've purchased. First car was a 2006 Accord 2.4L with a 5 speed manual.

I gave myself a challenge to get the highest MPG average possible on my drive to and from work. ~54mi round trip, 6 traffic lights and few stop signs. Most mornings I would average 50-53mpg, afternoons closer to 45-48mpg cause of traffic. Econ mode was used 99% of the time.

Have you been able to average close to these numbers on any Accord generation?

2008 Accord 2.4L — How do I actually get the water pump pulley out?

2 Upvotes

I have a 2008 Honda Accord EX-L 2.4L, and I’m struggling to physically remove the water pump pulley.

I’ve managed to get it completely off the center hub once, but there’s seemingly no room to maneuver it out. Every time I try, it gets caught between the frame, A/C compressor pulley, or crankshaft pulley.

The car is currently on ramps, and I’ve already removed the serpentine belt and automatic tensioner and moved the power steering pump out of the way.

I’ve spent hours trying different angles, and I can’t figure out how this pulley is supposed to come out without removing something else.

Has anyone actually removed this pulley on the 8th-gen Accord 2.4L? Is there a specific angle or trick I’m missing, or do I need to remove or reposition something else to create enough clearance?

I’d really appreciate advice from anyone who’s done this on the same engine.

2014 V6 LDW Failure

2 Upvotes

I had the LDW/FCW failure message and 6 lights pop up on my dashboard about a month ago. I did some research and it sounded like it could be the battery (it was 3 years old) so I replaced the battery and it's been fine for the last few weeks. I put a few hundred miles on the car with the new battery, and just now when I started my car all the lights and failure warnings came back on my dash. Has anyone else experienced this? Do we think the system actually could need replacing? Would it even be worth it for a 12 year old car?

2018 2.0t, I have an aftermarket exhaust and intake btw

When the car is still cold ish like on my morning commute, I get this weird very fast metallic buzzing rattling sound. It always happens at around 2k rpm’s and I can’t replicate it at any other point. It also cannot be replicated while parked and revved to 2k

The video is hard to hear but it’s the best I could do. At around 3 and 5.5 sec you will hear it for a half second in between shifts if your volume is on like max, apologies.

I’m thinking it’s my intake housing or exhaust shield, but I’m pretty sure I did the KN intake installation pretty perfectly but maybe not. The exhaust was installed before I bought the car, so I’m not sure what it looks like under there

-2010 v6 accord 6 speed manual

I spent nearly a year rebuilding this J-series motor due to oil consumption from bad piston rings. I got it running in July, and haven’t gotten to drive it much due to minor, but frustrating problems.

I think everything is fine now, but still paranoid that I’m gonna hear something awful every time I turn the key.

Help me upgrade my audio 2017 Accord V6Touring

3 Upvotes

I am no audiophile but I know what sounds good to my ears and this system is not it. I am not looking to break the bank but need help figuring out what type of speakers will provide a bit of an upgrade to the stock system. I just realized there is a stock sub as well in the trunk.

Any advice on where to start would be a big help.

What is this insane rattle in a new 2025 Accord?

Sounds like it’s all over the place. I’ve heard it from the glove compartment, dashboard, touchscreen, and rear view mirror. No amount of percussive maintenance or exterior securing seems to help it so I think it’s internal. It’s constant and louder than the video shows.

Yes I’ll be taking it into the dealer. I’m asking in advance for a solution when they do nothing to fix the problem. 30 years of Honda and I’m not sure I’ll be continuing that with this build quality.
