www.alloygators.co.uk my rims are scuffed and I've discovered these - anyone got them heard anything about them firsthand? Thanks for your help

Hello everyone, got a question for all you performance experts out there. I own a honda accord 1.8i vtech 1999 model. It has no engine modifications whatsoever but has been lowered / windows tinted etc. In a few weeks I am definatally going to be getting a new stainless steel exhaust (cat...

Hi pgarner, why do you say not to look for an increase in power? Is it because I will be keeping my sportex backbox on rather than getting a complete cat back fitted?

Hi there, I have a Honda Accord 1.8i 199 CH1 Hatchback which I have visually modifed. I am now looking to increase its performance. The car has a Sportex backback which looks and sounds great. However, the Catback section of the exhaust is still the factory on and is all corroded - now is...

I own a Honda Accord 1.8i 1999 I have searched on google for a full exhaust system for the car and found this: but that is just simply searching for "honda accord 98 full exhaust" - cost £600 that is a lot of money! maybe I should do what pgarner says and just get the backbox AND...

Hi Everyone, Just to let you all know that I got the induction kit fitted - a K&N 57i and... as turbonutter said - "On idle there won't be much difference but" ... "when the throttle is open then you'll get more noise."... and what a noise it makes - superb... I love it! Even if you...

Hi all! I am beginning to understand my options a bit better now thanks to all your help! Like I have said. I DO want to increase performance - just over time (I want to buy things bit by bit) The idea is, that I will buy a backbox first, then buy the rest of the sports exhaust system as and...

Hi guys, thanks for your replies (I really appreciate your responses) Allow me to clarify a couple of points. My cars ECU cannot be re-mapped I have looked into it. I was wanting to get a backbox to begin with - simply to give the car a better sound (and maybe a slight increase in...

Do induction kits make the car sound louder all the time or just when accelerating?

Hi everyone, I have been doing up my “Honda Accord 1999 1.8i hatchback” over the past few months... but all of the modifications have been visual! I am now looking to start modifying it to make it sound better and increase its power. I would like to begin with the two most obvious...

Hi everybody, Thanks for all your advice and ideas! I have decided to go ahead with the following electrical modifications: 1. Red footwell lighting in the front and back with a switch on the dash - to go on when any door is opened and only when the side lights are on (so it beaps when...

Hi Everybody, It was a couple of months ago since the last reply to this thread. Since then I have been very busy taking on board turbonutters suggestion of dying the carpet! (nobody sells oem replacement carpets for my car) I bought 5 litres of black carpet dye off ebay (just type in...

Thanks for your reply. Can you actually dye a car carpet? How would you go about doing that? If you can, then I would obviously dye it black - as this would clearly yield the best results. If anyone knows any resources for dying carpets that would be great!

Hi Everyone, I am wondering if anyone has ever changed the carpet in their car - mine is a minging grey colour. Is it easy. How much does it cost? Is there likely to be a local expert who would do it? and how would i find them in the yellow pages! I dont know what to search for! Cheers...
