Forgot one major issue that's common on them. The front lower ball joints. You do not ignore ball joint noises in a 7g Accord or you'll be going kachow soon. They're great cars tho, double wishbone front and back and can use a lot of TL and TSX parts including their engines.

[@ghost-carnage8964]

LOL my buddy just went through this the hard way 😂

[@ghost-carnage8964]

@user-ru7he6qj2w bad things lol. Ball joints and wheel bearings replace asap. Basically the wheel could come out sideways and totally fuck fenders up. Just look up "bad ball joint blew up" it's not the correct terminology but it'll show you what you want to see.

Yellowed out headlights are an easy fix. Sand them down with finer and finer sandpaper, get that yellow crap gone then spray paint them with a few layers of clear coat. They will look brand new for a long time.

[@Aznrob869]

Ceramic coating works too

[@danteanderson9052]

Toothpaste also works.

[@mariecharles6406]

I live in Florida. I replaced my lights twice, so I tried ceramic coating, and it lasted 8 months I said I would try the black housing lights and they started peeling but after I sanded them down they look brand new still and it's been 3 year's now. Keep in mind that if they turned Yellow, the black housing is hiding that from being seen.

[@vtec.5ucks]

this is a great video! i think more creators need to address this great budget platform, so thank you for being one of the first! as a CM5 owner myself, here are my thoughts and comments: zenki- 2003-2005 kouki- 2006-2007 CM4- i think this might have been reserved for the australian/thai/malaysian-spec 2.2L 4cyl (not a K-series) sedans, although i could be wrong. CM5- 4cyl sedan CM6- v6 sedan CM7- 4cyl coupe CM8- v6 coupe zenki/kouki/facelift doesn't change these codes. the K that comes in the CM5/CM7 is a watered-down K, in all honesty. it's got the economy i-VTEC setup, and its designation is the K24a4. if you want the absolute best performance, look for something like a DC5 RSX with a K20, because these Ks are not meant for performance. the zenki v6 hybrid made 255hp and the kouki made 271hp. the zenki 4cyl made 160hp and the kouki made 155, ouch... both the sedan and the coupe models are desirable in their own right. the sedan is highly praised for its simple presence and VIP-esque feel. the coupes are highly praised for their spaceship-like appearance, with its more rounded lines. the only usable cupholders are the ones in the center console. the ones in the doorcards are great for if you want to forget the bottle of god-knows-what you left in there. the j-series v6 is highly regarded to be one of the best sounding commuter-car v6s ever produced, especially the J30, although it takes a LOT of work to make a 4cyl sound good. okay, i prefer the zenki sedan tails over the triangle style tails, but that's just me. maybe i'm biased because i own one lol. fact: the zenki sedan rear end is more desirable (i would argue) because the jdm variant of the 7g accord sedan over in japan was the honda inspire, and its tail lights are very sought-after in the CM-chassis community for its extremely clean two-tone red/clear design. the v6 hybrid is basically a FWD 350z, so do what you want with that info. the CM-chassis gets SO much praise for its seats, and i can't say that i disagree. i LOVE my stock seats because of their comfortability and fit, even though i'm a 38 waist and i have the black cloth option. so, if you want comfy seats, these cars are the way to go. yes, the paint fade is BAD. my car is silver, and there is a noticeable difference between the color on my quarter panels and the color on my rear bumper. it's NH623M satin silver metallic, and if you want a wrap to match the color almost perfectly, 3M's gloss white aluminum is a near-perfect match. yes, the autos from this time suck, but i've had no problems with mine personally. again, GREAT VIDEO! thank you for talking about these severely under talked-about cars.

[@goldenace716]

I have a 7th gen v6 6 speed sedan. Took me 2 years go find the perfect one. Bought it for $9400 with in box unused Tein Advance Z's, CAI, fog lights, etc. She now has 84k and pulling strong. Saving up for a j32 swap and looking for a TL LSD 6 speed right now. Then comes the twin turbo build! They are great cars with decent power, but the aftermarket for these cars are very very scarce.

[@RudebwoyRacing]

Im currently doing a full j32a3 swap to my 7th gen, Im also going auto to manual with the tl lsd 6spd. Im currently buying bolt ons for when the swap is done already got a intake, j35a8 manifold, j35a8 throttle body. Looking to get pcds and jpipe before everything goes back in the car.

[@Drunken_Hamster]

Halferland Performance has dyno charts showing they do massively better than anyone else building Js in the game. I'm talking 316whp on a streetable, daily reliable, stage 1 cam and either stock or stage 1 head J32. Give them a look and consider a 35 over a 32 if you can. Or at least chuck a J35 crank into a 32 so you can do the direct drop-in like it seems you want. Also if you hit up Gingium's channel, he has a turbo J30 coupe doing 380whp and the craziest part is that he actually found someone who can tune the stock ECU.

I’d say for the oxidized headlights it’s due to most owners parking in the hot ass sun.
