Accord CL9 New Owner's Thread

I haven't got them checked yet - on slow speeds when I'm pressing the brake I feel like the cars having this weird-bubble like effect - or lets just say "wobbling". - Only happens at slow speeds like 40-30-20 (for example).

I already put brand-new brake-pads just a few months ago and they can't possibly be finished lol - so the culprit might be the rotors.

Check the rotors and get them tooled. The surface will become even and stop wobbling.

Got some suspension work done today. Replaced bushes.

Where'd you get them tooled from? - Yes I just checked the rear rotors and unfortunately they are in bad condition sadly - though that might help, please recommend the workshop and cost. I might just have to replace them with a new pair.

Any recommended shop where I could purchase them from?. @viking85

Yes. Quite a few in saddar and gawalmandi, Rawalpindi. Depends what you wanna buy. OEM would be quite expensive. Ive seen people buying Nisin pads. Check from these shops in rwp. Both are trustworthy. Specially Alif Autos. He'll tell you which is original and which is chinese/thai/taiwanese origin part. Numbers are: Waqar Autos (051) 5568267.
Alif Autos 0320 0009008.

Guess I am headed for the same job. Went to murree this weekend. Could hear clunking noise on potholes. Either this or tie rod ends. Which brand bushes and cost of set?

fahdahmad (fahdahmad) 2018-07-15 09:59:37 +0500 #815

The suspension guy in i10 got them tooled for me. I will ask him and let you know which shop he got them tooled from.

fahdahmad (fahdahmad) 2018-07-15 10:05:54 +0500 #816

I didn't check prices from gawalmandi before going. The bushes were sourced by the suspension guy. The pricing of the bushes was high around 800-900 for RBI bush.

One of the bush was not found in RBI and original was used. It costed 2200 per bush.

Do update me the prices you get from gawalmandi.

Guys I want to get my CL-7's catalytic converter cleaned. I visited motor clean today but he couldn't open the nuts of the catalytic converter. He said to get them unscrewed and then bring the car.. this made me get pissed off and i didn't bother going back to him.
Any reliable person in Islamabad?

Maybe they are over tighten or slip

pwuser152888783939 (Khawaja Ahsan Arshad) 2018-07-15 23:22:51 +0500 #819

I dont feel like getting it cleaned through acid as there is a risk of it getting broken. Confused at the moment

Cat Cons are replaced as they are consumable items.

Absolutely yes, no questions asked - check the car in person and if you're satisfied try to strike a reasonable deal with the owner. I highly doubt the owner will sell the car within the typical 14-15lac range.

Thanks Ali..

Any clean Ride with requisite bells available with someone? Plz share.

pwuser150019330328 (Rizwan) 2018-07-16 00:56:07 +0500 #825

What's your experience; How much should be justified price for this one?

ali.iqbal1 2018-07-16 01:12:51 +0500 #826

The clean rides I know off aren't for sale and I doubt they'll be available anytime soon. Owners who bought the cars way before have already experienced quite a lot of depreciation in price which doesn't make them viable for sale anymore. I've often thought about letting mine go but anywhere near 15lacs is a shame considering the amount which was paid for the car initially.

To the point; The price of a used CL9 can only be determined by actually checking out the car in person. Considering the car isn't a full-spec'd out CL9 the demand would only makes sense if the owner can support it with facts and figures (such as; Fully maintained all service history available for ten years. Auction sheet available 26000 km 4.5A grade imported).
Secondly and most importantly you have to consider the fact that these cars are approximately 10+ year old vehicles and there might be problems which might've been masked over time or not been dealt with in the correct manner. Sure, they're a Japanese premium product regardless Pakistani conditions tend to take a toll on them.
Lastly again I would suggest that you actually look into the car in person, get the car checked properly and make your decision. 16-17lacs for a absolutely mint condition CL9 is quite the steal right now - sure 15lacs might be the cherry on top though that's not likely to happen considering he's the first owner.
