Krzys Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Sounds like more work than you first expected but at least it's getting sorted! Did the box need any material skimming off it so the new gear would fit properly like in Noodel's link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Makes me think that when I decide to start meddling with my gearbox it'll be a good idea to make sure the Accord is MOT'd then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weetec Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 makes me laugh when people say iv re-built an engine etc etc. unless its had serious internal components upgraded such as high comp pistons and cams the cost to value ratio is out ofthe window....the gearbox is a very good mod to gain acceleration with what your doing to it versus remap airfilter, exhaust. etc. however you do have to persevere with the car off road and all that. but its worth it. not everyone can just go and splash out on these high priced components. its what i call dedication. trust me youll be impressed. iv taken on a civic from this forum, revs to 9.5krpm, cams etc..... bull3hit! left that car for dead. another lad from halifax boasted pistons and cams, all the pollava, blasted away.... bhp figures sound great but its down to acceleration.

dr_broon Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 picked her up last night, had a few gentle miles last night and a calm drive to work this morning, and so far I'm pretty happy with the results - everything just seems a lot easier.some numbers - revs are:2.2k in 4th @ 303k in 5th @60i think that to a certain extent the teg flywheel has offset the negative effect of the longer 5th - it now seems easier to accelerate from low revs.bit of an issue with selecting 1st sometimes - the honda dude thinks it might just be the new 1st gear, but will keep an eye on it and is gonna give everything a check over tomorrow.
