the vortexs will look awesome on that man, get them found and get them on lol.
as for the accord, couldn't be happier with it man. sooooooo much better than the 206 in every way. for a big petrol engine, it's not bad on fuel either.
but as said, you manage to get it going smoothly yet?

Hi mate the splitter is from the older renault laguna, try scrapyyards/ebay for one and the arches i got on here for £30 i think it was and just painted them myself, just have to keep checking for sale section.

found out it isnt water smells like petrol in the oil, cant be worn pistonrings as it had a compression test so im putting it down to not being driven and just sitting idling, only time will tell i suppose but is running fine just now.
