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...

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows who to go to locally to re-upholster your seats? and if anyone has had it done before - how much would it cost? I dont have a clue who would do it.

Well everyone, Thankyou very much for all your opinions. I am thinking of buying them for my honda accord. I agree with Poddy that they may look stupid if you only have front wind deflectors on a 4/5 door car. I think I probably will now get them now - especially after seeing the picture of...

I really like the idea of puddle lights (door courtesy lights in the bottom that come on when the door is open )... has anyone got any pictures of these in action? I would be interested in have a sound system installed becuase the one in the car already is rubbish - so quite and no base! -...

Cheers for posting my cars picture mate - gives everyone a better idea of what I am on about! Thanks also for answering my questions any help / advice is greatly appreciated!

As the title says - what do you think of front window wind deflectors?

Hi Pgarner, cheers for that, I never thought about that before - The cars a red and silver theme so red backlighting to the dials would be cool. Is it easy enough to change these bulbs? I have £500 worth of work. We had a deal you see and he only owes me electrical work - not money. So I...

Hi Guys, I have currently got red footwell LED's installed with a switch in my honda accord. however, I am looking for more cool lighting for my Accord. I am looking for a couple of cool interior lighting effect and a couple of exterior lighting modifications. I am thinking LED's on the...
