Love it bro, sadly I’m going to miss my accord, decided to go for a swim last night in the floods over in Australia. Thanks for being one of the inspirations for me to get my accord bro

[@KiwiCarLife]

Dang that sucks man! Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you guys are doing alright over there!

[@The_Slippery_Slope_NZ]

Hopefully you're insured and can get another one and carry on with the Accord build. Good luck.

[@ryanslack1589]

@@The_Slippery_Slope_NZ thanks bro, that’ll be the goal to find another good manual accord

[@renimaimz9482]

WHAT! I thought there were clips under the bumper to remove it 🤦‍♂️ you made it look easy thanks for this.

[@KiwiCarLife]

All g

[@oscarkabowski8413]

The more I see of this beast of a CL9 the more I think that if anything ever happened to my Integra project I’d probably take inspiration from the Kiwi and get onto the Accord Euro R. Your videos have really impressed me and totally changed my perception of the loveable Accord.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah man the Euro R is just glorious

[@oscarkabowski8413]

@@KiwiCarLife gotta experience one some day

[@SimSportPK]

Thanks for the DIY tutorial. Its a big relief seeing such useful things which we can do at home. After 18 years with my cl9 i was getting pissed off at the saggy bumper. This will definately help. Thanks again. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@KiwiCarLife]

No prob!

[@stickdoggg]

only got my accord recently and it came with heaps of bumper sag and this is an absolute LIFESAVER

[@KiwiCarLife]

Good to hear!

[@xenonsaccord4447]

Simple and brilliant! Thanks for the tip! Mine does this and I’m taking her apart this weekend to put some new headlight bulbs in. I’ll find some wood blocks! Cheers

[@KiwiCarLife]

Nice! Glad I could help

[@xenonsaccord4447]

This does work lads. I used some clothespins instead it it doesn’t sag anymore. Thanks again Kiwi!

[@igorparcheta4989]

[@jwinters5306]

I love the idea to fix this issue. I'm going to use some kind of plastic to take up the space on mine. Thanks for the information!

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah plastic would be better tbh

[@KiwiCarLife]

Nice!

[@tomaslakavicius]

Good ideas man

[@tyscl9516]

You're making her slower though with extra weight!!😂 Looks good man!

[@KiwiCarLife]

OH NO!

[@butterz3488]

Nice one =) Bunnings have H shaped wedges in diff heights, you could bolt them to the chassis there =) or glue em. be astheticly nice too for the mechanic pulling the bumper off in the future haha

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah that's true!

[@mailtsauce]

which H shaped wedges are you talking about? trying to look in bunnings

[@troykey701]

Thanks mate

[@KiwiCarLife]

All good

[@shagwell_6915]

I have the same issues.. it works but I think the bash bar with the phone will help a lot. I still haven't done that yet but soon once I order it

[@KiwiCarLife]

Sounds good

I have a 2007 BMW M6 with a wide body the front bumper began to sag after I drove 500 miles on the the highway what can I do to stop the sagging will it be similar to this?

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah I imagine

[@ii7v464]

Do you know how to fix the slack on the sides of the bumper? Line near the light

[@KiwiCarLife]

I don't

[@The_Slippery_Slope_NZ]

You've had the K-flash for a wee while now, would you feel like giving us an update video letting us know if you still like it, what you would change if you got it done again, how the fuel economy is with it and anything else that comes to mind.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Good idea!

[@renardolovelock4107]

I am having a problem with my 2007 Cl9 Honda Accord the D light is blinking on the dashboard board while am driving at times the issue don’t occur but most times it does what should I do?

[@KiwiCarLife]

Means there's an issue with your transmission. A fault code will show up if you scan it

[@tdripz9094]

sorry about the many questions but 😂 would u say it’s ok to turbocharge or supercharge a auto trans CL9?

[@KiwiCarLife]

Probably not, you'd get more gains from manual swapping it than from turboing an auto anyway coz you'd only be able to run low boost

[@carlusdarienus]

I think you should do car meet ups and other things different.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Could do!

[@desirabledrives44]

I'd personally be inclined to use plastic packaging wedges that builders use for door and window installations. They won't be affected by moisture/water like timber will and they have the half life of a star.
On another note certain things are better when they get saggy 😉

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah it's just what I had lying around. Will probably improve it in the future

[@eazy_mufasa2458]

I would love to show you my bumper, it's in complete shambles but I will attempt this fix and return with hopefully a more joyous comment 🙂

[@KiwiCarLife]

Haha good luck man

[@tantofumo5527]

Clever

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yesss

[@tdripz9094]

hey bro, from stock to where ur car is now, how much hp have u gained from these modifications and reflash tune,

[@KiwiCarLife]

25kW and 45Nm

[@jackbryden8512]

Have you noticed more front end grip with all that weight over the nose now?

[@KiwiCarLife]

HAH

[@xenonsaccord4447]

😂

[@Coa_Kralj_Coa_The_King]

But wait, that piece of wood you just put there, you don’t attach after with something upright?

[@KiwiCarLife]

Nah

[@SparklingRufus]

Your accord looks exactly sama as American version Acura TSX

[@KiwiCarLife]

WOW does it really? Maybe because it’s actually the same car haha

[@jrhpng]

Common Honda issue I think, even our 03 Jazz had this similar issue when we got it, different fix though.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah happens with most cars if they have their bumpers repainted at some point

[@tdripz9094]

would u say it’s ok to install a the yonaka catback exhaust on my euro even tho it’s an auto?

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yep

[@Pottunuija]

It's a quick fix, but turnbuckles are permanent solution, will not sag from corner :)

[@nicholasortiz5880]

Can you elaborate on how to do this?

[@thomasmccoll9748]

Just bend the brackets back up. Cars dont come factory with wood holding the brackets up !!

[@KiwiCarLife]

Tried, it doesn't work as well as the wood

Bro my Accord do not have Curise control so i want to install it
