1994 Vtis

[sabih]

Hi guys,

Looking at buying a 1994 accord vtis. What are these animals like performace wise? fuel wise?

Thinking of trading in my bmw but i dont want to go a step down. I have had honda's in the past and know they are built like tanks and very reliable if looked after.

Anyone here have a series 5 vtis or know much about them?

[ECU-MAN]

I had a VTi 95 model once. MT

power was OK, nuthing flash. I always wished it went better. I had H22A transplant toughts.

its was an awome car, loved every part of it. on the freeway I got over 800kms to 55l fuel. eg Adel to melb on one tank of fuel.

loved it.

what km's should the timing belt have been changed? around 100,000km's?

hey mate, welcome aboard.

If you do a search there have been quite a few discussions about purchasing a CD5 accord.

As for the timing belt, if you are buying from a dealer, get them to change it regardless. I had them change mine at 165,000 when I picked up my accord even though it wouldn't 'have' to be done for about 1 1/2 - 2 years with how much I was driving it.

I wouldn't leave it until 100K, I would probably change it around 90K it you were going to do it.

the dealership wont change it bro

i called honda and provided them to VIN number and asked if they have any record of the timing belt ever being changed.. they couldn't even find the VIN. I thought all honda dealerships have a general system they can check the history of any car for reasons like recalls or whatever..

[razaman]

meh, that's pretty average service. I would have thought that as a potential buyer they would be a bit flexible, afterall it won't cost them any labour charges.

How many km's has it got?

the car is an automartic 1994 vtis qwith 142,000 km's on the clock. leather is immaculate condition.. so i believe the km's would be genuine. full service history has been stamped in the logbook (although i dont have the car yet and therefore cannot call that actual honda dealer to confirm timing belt has been repleaced).. you would assume its mandatory for a service.

[razaman]

Ah, if they have proof it's been changed they probably won't at that km. I thought you we approaching 100k.

However I personally wouldn't buy it if there was no record of it being changed and they wouldn't do it.

The 1994-95 Honda Accord VTI-S is a more luxury version from the VTI. Fairly good vehicles. The thing that I like most is that the steering is really soft and it consumes very little fuel.

[sabih]

how many km's do you get to a full tank?

[ozhonda2006]

how many km's do you get to a full tank?


Are you asking me?

It's been a while, but a full tank (back in those days) cost me around $45.00 to fill up and it last around 100km's+. The trick is to ride the accelator only need me and be cheap when you roll. But that's just me, cheap.:D

[ECU-MAN]

the timming belt should be replaced every 100 000kms or every 5 years.

[sabih]

this may be a silly question..

does the sunroof tilt so when you open it, no rain comes in?

[h22a accord]

sunroof doesnt tilt. it only slides back inside the roof.

[Xplodin]

I've got an after market sunroof that tilts :D hahaha yeah It looks hot when its tilts up. Farken hot! Then again i didnt even pay for the sunroof hahah. Meh

I've got a 94 vti-s accord... purchased about 1.5yrs ago for 9k.. i love it.. never regretted the buy... comes with all luxury options a car can have.. well most... leather interior, auto climate control, sunroof, electric adjustable driver seat.. cup holders lol.. etc.... since then ive done a h22a conversion + mods.... it was a smart buy in my case because one minute i can cruise with a pack in a 5 seater car and the next minute I can be chasing a type R on the road. :honda: :honda: :honda: :honda:

[sabih]

SMEAGLE, thats mad!!

how does your car compare against a type R integra with the engine transplant? is the accord a heavier car?

[Mr_will]

the dealership wont change it bro

.


then i would go to another dealer. in the current market, dealers should be falling over themselves to sell you a car, the worst they should do is say theyre gonna charge you for it

[sabih]

i bought the car in the end

the abs light comes on after 40+ mins of driving.. i will book it into honda to have that checked plus get the automatic transmission serviced as its rough changing from 1st-2nd gear (jerks).

[SMEAGLE]

yeh the accord is approx 220kg more heavier then the teg type r.... ahh the abs light is expensive to fix.. thats if they need to replace the abs unit.... try doing the diag test b4 u go into honda or just res-setting the abs...do a search in ozhonda and u will find what u need

[sabih]

what cars have you beaten with your h22a conversion?

[040501912]

Wish i got my h22a conversion, does any body know how much is it with man gearbox, ecu and looms ?

currently im diriving on f22b 138 hp on the wheel, cai, full exhaust system and a vafc... no satisfied witht he performance ... need H22a :D

Last time my ABS light was on, it was becuase one of my brake light bulbs blew.

Replaced the bulb, ABS light off.

I get about 450kms before filling up. But then again, i only ever do city driving. Live in Pyrmont, work in north sydney
