Real Name: Dan Location: Cleveland, Ohio Occupation: Unemployed! Interests: Gasoline engines, Firearms, Camping, Fishing About My Car: Model: 2006 Lx Sedan Color: Silver Engine: K24A8 Tranny: 5MT Current Mods/Future Plans: Currently bone stock. I have ordered all new fluids, filters, Plugs, Belts and such. Replacing as they arrive. Looking for larger intake manifold and headers on the cheap, and am going to read up the forums to decide where I want to go with from there. Most likely just bolt on parts for 2014. Also need to epoxy or replace front bumper :) Pictures: (http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e177/bizarrobaker/K24A8%20Sedan/IMAG0234_zpsb43acec9.jpg) (http://s39.photobucket.com/user/bizarrobaker/media/K24A8%20Sedan/IMAG0234_zpsb43acec9.jpg.html) (http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e177/bizarrobaker/K24A8%20Sedan/IMAG0232_zps09ff6cc7.jpg) (http://s39.photobucket.com/user/bizarrobaker/media/K24A8%20Sedan/IMAG0232_zps09ff6cc7.jpg.html) (http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e177/bizarrobaker/K24A8%20Sedan/IMAG0233_zpsfd6a63cb.jpg) (http://s39.photobucket.com/user/bizarrobaker/media/K24A8%20Sedan/IMAG0233_zpsfd6a63cb.jpg.html) (http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e177/bizarrobaker/IMG_20130521_203209_585_zpsb98e8362.jpg) (http://s39.photobucket.com/user/bizarrobaker/media/IMG_20130521_203209_585_zpsb98e8362.jpg.html) This is my daily driver while I am messing with the K24A8!

Title: Re: [Profile] SilverAccords06n12 Post by: SilverAccords06n12 on March 05, 2014, 11:55:11 PM Glad to be here! Not sure how active I will be, as the majority of my questions can be answered by a quick search, but since I don't have anything going on during the days, I'll be lurking around here a lot!
Title: Re: [Profile] SilverAccords06n12 Post by: timot_one on March 06, 2014, 11:33:24 AM Welcome. Be careful with the cheap header. It may be worse than the stock manifold or just cause a lot of headaches. I had a DC header that kept breaking over and over again.
Title: Re: [Profile] SilverAccords06n12 Post by: SilverAccords06n12 on March 07, 2014, 02:35:58 PM Haha, Timot, you keep popping up with these helpful hints! Thanks a bunch!
For the time being, I have only purchased minor restoration parts. If anyone is wondering, I only spent about $180 on amazon, and got: 4 NGK plugs 1 Fram carbon cabin filter 1 Bando serpentine belt 2 bottles Honda PS fluid 2 bottles Honda brake fluid 2 bottles Honda M trans fluid 2 gallons Honda type 2 coolant 1 bottle TB cleaner 1 bottle seafoam 2 purolator pureone oil filters pack of 14mm oil drain plug washers 10 ft clear vinyl tubing (for trans oil change) Turkey baster (fluid removal) 1 pack of binary epoxy (for crack in front bumper) 1 bottle engine degreaser 1 long narrow funnel I should get everything in about a week, and might even try to photograph/video a little bit just for fun/reference. Title: Re: [Profile] SilverAccords06n12 Post by: timot_one on March 07, 2014, 03:43:07 PM There is a drain plug on the transmission, so a turkey vaster isn't necessary. You can add fluid with a tube to the fill hole on the side of the transmission, but I've found it easier to use a long funnel and fill it from the top fill hole on the trans. When fluid starts coming out from the side fill hole, you're topped off. As long as the car is level, you'll be good.
I only share this stuff because I've had experienced it already. You don't have to make the same mistakes I did. I've probably spent more money than I should have on my accord. Title: Re: [Profile] SilverAccords06n12 Post by: Rich01 on March 07, 2014, 08:26:40 PM Welcome to ECM Dan
Title: Re: [Profile] SilverAccords06n12 Post by: SilverAccords06n12 on March 08, 2014, 05:01:31 AM I have never worked on a Honda before, so I'm not fully sure of my methods working, but the turkey baster is actually for removing fluids from reservoirs for fluid changes/flushes. Even if flushing a whole reservoir of brake/clutch/PS fluid down your lines is not bad, I personally feel better taking dirty fluid out the top of the system.
The narrow funnel and a small piece of vinyl tubing will be for filling the top plug on the manual trans from above. The rest of the vinyl is replacement for my camelbak water pouch for hiking 8-) Title: Re: [Profile] SilverAccords06n12 Post by: timot_one on March 08, 2014, 08:16:29 AM Gotcha. Now I understand the turkey baster. The tubing will probably not be necessary for your trans fluid if your funnel is long enough. When bleeding the brakes, you actually start at the wheel closest to the master cylinder and work your way out, instead of furthest to closest like most cars. Don't ask me why, that's just what's in the service manual from Honda. Good luck with the maintenance stuff.
Title: Re: [Profile] SilverAccords06n12 Post by: SilverAccords06n12 on March 12, 2014, 06:08:53 PM I need more of that luck stuff... I have not received any of my supplies yet, and lake Erie is dumping snow on my city like crazy. I have all this free time and no parts :'( I am kind of excited I get to buy and use a metric socket set though, I've only ever needed standard sockets my whole life.
