i thought the starter was only to start the car, so if you are hearing the noise while the car is idling, i doubt its the starter, i say go over to V6performance.com, those dudes do crazy things with those j-series motors,

you should do a write up on how you did your swap, parts you used, cost and things of that nature, i love the look of those 6th gen accords, but they have absolutely horrible automatic trannys, plus i dont like automatic transmissions,


its just a matter of time before i do this to an accord or one of those luxury tl or rl

good luck
