[UnQUOTE] Your result may differ due to the low fuel sensor setting but it should be relatively close to my 2005 Honda Accord 4cyl AT PZEV EXL Sedan. I put in my 1st TANK OF GAS last Thursday, May 19th  Costco! (Sunnyvale - $2.389 per gal.) Traveled:... 341 miles (4.5 on odometer when I took delivery 5/6/05) Filled:..... 13.424 gals. (3.676 gals. remaining - light just turned on in Costco parking lot) --------------------- FYI: My MPG:........ 25.4 AVG (break-in miles, mostly city w/some HY going to work = approx. 10.4 miles each way) Phil |

I just had semi-metallic front and rear brakes installed on a 2004 EX-V-6 Accord. The front rotors were badly weathered and pitted, and needed to be resurfaced twice. Now the car takes "forever" to stop with steady braking--both on city streets (30mi/h -> zero) and at highway speeds (60 mi/h -> zero). Is this just because the brakes are new? Do they need to be bedded-in (and what are the steps to take)? Or do the rotors need to be replaced? Mileage: 25,750

| Your braking should improve with a few miles on them. Just be gentle in the first couple hundred miles. | |

I must qualify this, these are the instructions as I remember them from the factory service manual for my Nissan. After pad replacement, to bed them in the book says to make 6-10 fairly hard stops from 30-35 MPH. Then drive around for a while to let the brakes cool down. It could be that your pads are glazed from improper bedding. Did you do the work yourself, or have a shop do it? If you had someone do it, it's worth a try to tell them about it and have them try to fix it. There shouldn't be a significant difference in stopping distance with new pads. Dave |

Greetings... I have an 05 Accord with XM. My other car has a Garmin 2610 in it, which I use an external antenna for better accuracy. I want to put the 2610 in the Accord from time to time, so I mounted a base on the dash and before wiring in another antenna, I got to looking on ebay at some Accords with both GPS and XM and realized they had only the single antenna on the roof. As I have XM, I obviously have this antenna - my question is - does anyone know how this interfaces on Accords with BOTH units - ie: Is there a Y adapter for the antenna (can it even be used that way?), or are there 2 antenna elements and cables in those models or what? What I would like to do if at all possible is avoid putting another antenna and running another cable up to the front of the car (which will end up coming up the front of the dash). Anyone know what the cabling looks like behind the dash and if my thought is possible? I'd rather avoid tearing out the dash if I don't have to. Thanks. |
