False alarm, was just some bad fuel.

The creaking clutch pedal issue continues to confuse me. I've had it on and off for the past couple years. At one time I had it continuously for weeks, so I sprayed some silicon spray into it and it...

Update: Was a wheel bearing.

There might be air in the line, try finding an empty carpark and do some slow turns, lock to lock.

On the topic of steering related problems, my PS pump has started to squeal (for ~10-20 seconds)...

Ahh, should have worded that better. The PZero's were near new (had maybe done 5k), and the PP2's were brand new when I got the car. The PZero's are closer to being worn out than the PP2's, but I...

Did a little tyre (225/45/R17) shopping today, will probably need a new set in the next 5-10k. Currently I got Michelin PP2's on the front, and Pirrelli PZero Rosso's on the back. The PP2's were new...

I changed my fuel filter at 87,000km. I just saw the old filter still sitting on the shelf, so I cut it open, doesn't look too bad, probably worth changing:

I've just finished an oil change, and while doing so inspected the CV shaft boots, etc, all looks good after ~97,000km. Both drive shafts have a small amount of end-float (when I grab it and pull...

LOL, I was just saying he would need to train his unit, similarly to how I had to train mine ;-P

I continue to be impressed by how cheap those yum-cha's are nowadays, if I had my time again, I...

Ahh ok, I was assuming you were replacing the OEM HU functions with the yumcha.

Splicing in to pin 11 (brown) might work. See below:

There is, pin 11 on the connector going into the back of the OEM HU. You'll need to cut it and connect it directly to your Yumcha (otherwise the steering wheel controls will control both units ;-).

Hey mate, welcome to the forums!

If you check my very first post, I updated it with some details at the bottom.


I got mine at least 18 months ago now, so not sure if it's still available, but...

Ha! I am actually conscious of not doing exactly that! Was tought that lesson many years ago at a track day in my mates MX-5, "Don't sit with your foot on the brakes after a run, and don't put the...

Thanks for the tips guys! I've spoken with the machinist and he thinks that the disc may have suffered a rapid temperature change (or several) at some point and it's created hard spots. I'm pretty...

I was thinking that, but it's been 3 weeks now, I thought the pads would have bed back in by now?

Also, if it were high spots on the pads, wouldn't the deposit marks be circular around the disc,...

Hi All,

I recently got my front discs machined to remove some shudder I was getting under braking. The guy came out and used an on-car lathe and did what appeared to be a good job. The discs have...

See here for what I did -> http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1584197&postcount=49

The spacers I modified are still available on ebay ->...

Hi All,

While we're on the topic of fog lights, can anyone recommend a globe that matches the color temp. of stock HID's ('05 Lux).

I find the stock fog light globes look yellow/orange compared...

Cheers Arron :thumbsup:

For others that are interested, I can confirm the Hawk Ceramic part numbers (for CL9) are HB366Z.681 and HB145Z.570

Hi All,

Could someone confirm the Hawk Ceramic part numbers for an 05' CL9? Is it HB366Z.681 for the front and HB366Z.681 for the rear?

I'm getting a bit of brake shudder when braking from...

I didn't physically try to install the Pro60's, but if you look at my post you'll see I made a 100% size template, and from what I could work out, they wern't going to fit.

However, an experienced...

Oh, and this thread should be helpful also: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=81596 (this is when I was initially looking at the Pro60's, but found they wern't going to fit (well, without...

When I installed my SPZ-60's, I had to make up my own spacer.

I'm sure Honda would do a valve clearance check by itself, not sure how much though. It's not hard if you are mechanically minded, search these forums and you'll find a link to the Euro service...

Thanks for tip Aaron, i'm going to change it this arvo.
