Around the year 2002, a lot of local Accord owners in their 20-30s would through an H22a or H23 motor into their 90-97 Accords. 200HP and an LSD to the front wheels made the car a lot more lively...and set the owner back a few thousand dollars.
Best Honda accord ever :-)
Great car. Power sucked with the two speed automatic, but the handling was stellar. Here’s Mom with her car.
The Acura TSX (Accord Euro R) is still one of the cleanest designed modern Japanese designs. I love it.
PS Dude! Get more of these videos! I want to see what you do. Ps make it to track-car-ish, at least the interior.
7th gen, because V6/6MT and fully-independent suspension (double-wishbone front, 5-link rear).
Quad rounders
One word... Aerodeck
My mom leased a blue `92 LX with a 5-speed. My parents loved that car and my dad still regrets not buying it after the lease expired. They bought a `97 LX 5-speed that was much more appliance-like than the `92.
We did get a version of that in the way if the TSX Sportwagen. Too bad we only got the automatic. :(
The unicorn that is the 5th gen Accord SiR. Present in Gran Turismo 1 & 2. Kind of like a 4-door prelude making around 190 hp from a 2.2l I-4 with a 7500 rpm redline. I had the 145 hp EX as my first car (been with my family for 17 years) and had the same front headlamps and turn signals as the SiR installed. Compared…
It’s one that we can’t get here in the US... The Honda Accord Touring Wagon. I love that roofline!
Still gray probably, but I had a third gen as my first car. It handled very subserviently — it would go where you want it too without any roll and it inspired this confidence when driving it.
Most drivers actually do sit a bit lower. Hulk is the tallest driver on the grid.
Next Tavarish project car - “I just bought a stupid cheap cube of Dodge Neon to turn it into a concours winner”
So when do you sell it to david tracy as a “reliable backup car”?
I’ve worked with lousy engineers like those - ones who hugely overestimate their ability, have contempt for their end users, and don’t even understand the point of the project in the first place.
Epic Austrian Grand Prix including a fine drive from Romain Cheeseburger French fries Grosjean III for Hass F1 Today Toto Wolff does his nut as well. Hass F1 is doing great this season British Grand Prix next week Maybe McLaren will vote to leave F1 this season.
