Maybe you shoulda put it together with your old thread. There really is no need to start another thread for a simple qn, especially when there a thread just below it with similar topics.

As for importing it, I'm not sure that you can, and if you could, i'd say it'd be very expensive!

It's very expensive, you need to pay the custom plenty of bucks. Moreover, the goverment inspection fee for that car all extremly expensive. there is risk the car will fail too.

how can? almost impossible as you cannot import any vehicle that already exist here aka cl9

same with fd2r since fd2 is here from Honda australia
same with ek9 since ek is here ""
same with jdm dc2r since dc2r is here ""
same with jdm dc5r since dc5r is here ""

ep3 is allowed as we dont have this model as official car from honda australia.

the only way you can bring cl7 is the car has been registered under your name while you are living in overseas for at least 1 year if i am not wrong.

other than that. it will be almost impossible.

if you are just after the recaro and the bodykit. just buy them invidually

probably shouldnt have bought a euro if you wanted to go fast! LOL

sell it and buy an s15 or a type r or something

or

spend heaps of money and buy headers, intake, ecu etc. not worth it imo unless you need the comfort of the 4 doors etc but want performance too

+1

If you wanted power and performance you shouldn't have got a Euro.
How bout an Evo?
It has 4 doors and will be faster than a DC5R/DC2R/FN2R or any Type R.

i am not surprised if a dc5 beat you

there are some civic ef (88-91), civic eg (92-95) will whip you in this forum too.

even if you own a euro r, they will still may beat you too...

you need to think about a few thing
- power to weight ratio.
- how good is your traction
- how good is your shifting
- etc...

putting exhaust, air filter, mags, suspension and wing doesnt mean you should go faster as they are not magic pill.

by putting those parts hopefully you can make more (liberate) power or lose power.. if you use incorrect one

you put exhaust - what size? wrong size you can lose power
intake - again can be a problem if wrong one is used
mag - bigger rims can cause car to accelerate slower
wing - depend what kind of wing, decorative wing or useful wing.

anyway, i am not attacking you, what you do with your car is your personal choice. if you are happy with what you do is all that matter.

if you want to be quicker than now and still using 4 door sedan, get an evo or you can turbo your car.

if you want remain N/A and has powerful setup , you need to spend mega money in the region of 30k which enough to own you another car. this will be realistic bugdet, if you see some of the car they spend to achieve what they are, this is very realistic.

PS: i hope you are not racing a dc5 in a public road. i would encourage you to use track facility which is designed for sport use

air filter, mags, suspension and wing all make the car go much faster. how could you possibly not beat a dc5 with those modifications!?!?! :eek:

02-11-2009, 12:24 PM
as hondar said earlier you shouldn't have bought a cl9 if you wont to go fast the cl9 was made to be a comfortable ride in every way possible meaning even if you have the power you will find the transmission isn't geared to allow quick acceleration, also if you have an auto euro its also going to affect the way you take off, this is just one very simple thing that will be holding you back not to mention suspension, weight, traction.

but that said if you wonted to add more power to your car you may consider getting a tune as you already have i/h/e even look into a cam upgrade, but don't forget no matter what you do the car is only going to go so fast...... as its still an accord uro......

I'm proud to say I'm a ricer with my euro-r badge :cool:

Back on topic, as all the others have said. If you're after power, you have to put a lot in to get it out of an NA car, turbo/supercharge would be a better option if you got money to spend =)

euro r has k20
same motor as a jdm dc5r
if you didnt know

only as personal import
live over seas for at least 1 year
then import it over

other than that be happy with your car
mite not be the fastest but it has other features that makes it a nice car to drive

The Euro was never meant to be fast. If you're after a quick saloon, swap the Euro for a Liberty GT or an MPS - may not be very quick stock, but they'll be easier to get power out of. You're better off spending money on handling mods as you'll get more out of your dollar.

RiceMeister
03-11-2009, 05:35 PM
liberty GT are dope! especially if modded nicely...can get some serious power from their boxer engines. euro's arent decided to be quick, they're there to be comfy, classy and an enjoyable drive. for a quick four door as others have said EVO may be the go. if your looking simply for the Euro-R look, its not too difficult as for performance...jack a DC5R's engine and start from there.

denot
04-11-2009, 11:21 AM
LOL... let change the situation a bit... ok, I need 4 door fast saloon, but... I'm on my red P!!!! so no turbo/turbocharged... what car does he need to buy?

oh, and live in NSW as well :p

hisoka
04-11-2009, 11:32 AM
the only way to have a fast 4 door saloon, is to have a turbo or a supercharger, or a v8.

liberty gt, aurion trd, xr8 falcon

how about a Skyline R34 sedan....non turbo one.

V6 Neo engine.

That's the best you can get so far.

No such thing go fast without turbo, supercharge or V8.

V6 is your way to go..or L6

RiceMeister
05-11-2009, 12:10 AM
the 3.0Ltr V6 Liberty boasts a 180kw n/a engine.
they're pretty quick for a non-turbo 4 door sedan. luxury stylezzzz too.
im tipping quite a bit quicker than a non-turbo r34?

Tw-38
05-11-2009, 12:24 AM
you mean the Liberty RB 3.0...horizontal 6 cylinder.

Yes it is almost as fast as the GT. 0.3~0.5 slower in 0-100 but still pretty good.

Not sure which one will win with the R34 .... but it is good as well.

btw, is the law of P plate drivers still looking at turbo/supercharge/V8 or is it looking at power to weight?

I thought it is now power to weight so that is why P plater still cant drive S2000.

Please correct me if i am wrong. Thx.

New P platers
Depends which state you are in. NSW restricts based on turbo, V8 and high performance V6, while VIC has half and half with the old P-platers using power-to-weight and new P-platers using the same rule as NSW.

It's an inline 6 not a V6. And they aren't fast.

Golf R32.
4wd, N/A, V6, 4-doors... but good luck affording one of the newer models as a P-plater.

eg_08_wa
21-11-2009, 07:40 PM
money wise its not worth it, but if you really really want a cl7, why not create one?

Find a euro with a broken engine or one that's had water damage, or even a light prang, then import a cl7 (has to be cut up) and do a swap. take out everything from the cl9, and transfer everything from the cl7 into the cl9 shell. hey presto, cl7.
ppl do it with civics, wrx's so if you really want one, and money is no object, then heys, that's probably your only option, unless you know how to personally import one.

just an idea

drive home, park your euro, turn on PS2 and play gran turismo 4 with the euro-R to your hearts content! Bloody Sony pricks made the PS3 unable to play PS2 games dammit!

From riding in a few type-R cars with workmates, they are not too good for the daily commute, especially after work when you're buggered and want a nice relaxing drive home, but realize sydney traffic+roads+peaky engine+stiff suspension+idiots trying to race you always = more tension.

driving a euro std/lux is so much nicer :-)

DC5.Raven is right. Your uncle will have to own it for 12 months and also do the required kms on it. Then he has to be migrating to Australia to live here, and it is only then when the car can be brought in as a personal import.

seriously if you really really do have the chance (that your uncle will drive around for 12 months and considering to migrate to australia after that) ... maybe should get mugen RR instead of CL7?

i am sure if you decided to sell your car.. many more will line up to buy them

^^ This.

You have to provide proof that the car is driven by you (or in this case your uncle) for a year before they will even consider letting you import it too. So basically fuel invoices, service invoices, rego, etc.

Personally instead of waiting a year and spending an arm and a leg on import taxes/transport I'd just work a CL9

Even with a CL7, you'll find many of the modded CL9s here will go faster than the CL7. The only plus you will have over the others are the Recaro seats (which people love to steal)

BTW, you did buy the CL7 Euro R and not the regular CL7, right?

Mate

Stock-to-stock, the CL7 loses to the DC5 every time due to its inferior power-to-weight ratio being well over 200kg heavier. With the money you will spend to get a CL7 in to Australia you could have any choice of car, from a HSV GTS to an EVO 9.. Sorry mate but give it a rest..

so who cares, most civics with engine converted b16 will lose to a stock sr20, big deal.

let him get the car he wants, its unique, iam ure if he wanted a fast car he wouldnt be driving a fwd honda cl7.

anyone can say that drive a lancer evo or a hsv gts, but how many people you ever heard say they roll cl7 euro R

you should give it a rest. and no iam no fanboy either

Personally for the 50-odd grand you'd spend on buying the car and shipping/taxes I'd try and import the SH-AWD drivetrain from an Acura TL, mate it to the K24 and then boost it. Turbo AWD Euro... Mmmmm....

Seeing as this is most likely (hopefully) a first for a CL7 to reach Australia, there could be possible capital gained if you do decide to sell! I'm sure there would be many die hards that would pay top dollar to purchase a Euro R.

Good luck with the importing and keep us all informed of how you go!

26-11-2009, 08:07 PM
if you're throwing down 50K for a car quick enough to beat "DC5r" then to be honest your money could be spent A LOT better mate. as money doesn't seem to be an issue it shouldnt really matter that you already have the wing, rims ect...sell them and add the cash to a fund to get a worked evo 7 or 8...that's if you want speed. but if you just wanna be the only dude in aus with a CL7 euro-r...then GO for it!!

I'm pretty sure a nice lump of that $50,000 would sort that out. You could probably even modify a crv drivetrain. Anything can be done with the right amount of money.

It would be more practical to just boost the K24 and buy a decent suspension setup than to import/hack and modify an AWD system though.

Not the SH-AWD system. Unless you want to recast the whole transmission case. The layout is different to a normal auto or manual gearbox so you can't chop and change.

That was on the cards for a while, except the Wife thinks there ugly. Why do I continue to listen to her?

lol unless you want to get familiar with the gear shifting hand, i would continue to listen to her lol. but anyway i think she is correct lol

I probably wouldn't have bought the STI version. Probably the GT one cause it still looks LUX but with a bit more grunt.

The US K23 SH-AWD gearbox from an RDX shouldn't be too difficult to mate up. Still automatic with manual mode though.

Alternatively, wait till they release the TSX type S in the states next year, some idiot to write one off, then import the wreck. Turbo K23 engine, SH-AWD drivetrain and DSG transmission. Mmmmmmm

I don't think there is enough space as there is no transmission/driveshaft tunnel in the CL7/CL9 chassis. For that, you need the CL8 chassis.

Externally the EuroR looks identical to the Euro Sports/Limited Edition :)
So you could say that our local version is also fkn hot.

There are two types of grill. The 2003-2005 and 2006-2008 grill. So there are two types of EuroR grill which correspond to the 2003-2005 Euro Sports and 2006-2008 Euro Limited Edition.

GTI's are 147kw 2L turbo petrol.
GT Sport's come in 125kw 2L turbo diesel.

The Comfortline and Sportsline variants also come in diesel but have less powerful engines.

You will not be able to import the vehicle into Australia legally as Honda Australia currently holds full compliance in importing Hondas.
however, you can import in "parts" from overseas.
So, what could be done is.. disassemble the car in japan and import them in as parts then reassemble it back in australia. Think if it as an expensive and elaborated model kit.

However, how do you go abouts registering it will be another issue..
