With the Audi up for sale i had to get a runabout to use so when it does sell so i won't be car less. Went car hunting with my mate one weekend and saw lots of s**t then found a nice diamond in the rough. It's good to go back to my Honda roots ha.
Its a bloody bus! It's so huge it barely fits on the drive at home. I do love it already. One of the problems it had when i picked it up was it needed a knock sensor. So a trip to the local Honda dealer and picked one up, it was a bit of a ball ache to fit, but now it's done i have no engine light so happy days. The other problem i have is the tailgate doesn't open, it's quite a common problem, but i haven't looked into yet and i don't use the boot much and you can still open it from the inside so doesn't bother me that much.
As it's just a comfy cruiser to get to me to work i thought i would fit some audio upgrades as the standard system is a bit lack lustre (if you get the premium sound system it's actually good) Unfortunately as the standard stereo contains all the heater controls etc it's not really viable to change, so i fitted a kit to allow me to use a normal head unit under the standard one. Does the job and looks really tidy and quite good quality.
While i was at it i had my old 15 inch sub sitting around from years ago so i thought why not put it in the Accord...Big mistake haha, it's so loud that i kind of regret it, but it's funny to see people faces when it's just a standard Accord driving past thumping the tunes! I will upgrade the front speakers as well in February to something a bit nicer.
Bungee cord special! Apart from that i don't have many plan's, i have a couple of bits of trim to replace/tidy up, just run and maintain it. It's actually a really good car with good history and it drives really nice. I'm very happy with it as a runabout!
