[civic_mods]

i saw from some web site

what's the different?

[clowdz]

I believe CL7 is the Euro-R with the K20A (DC5R Engine) and Transmission (with LSD) from the DC5R. CL9 is everything else.

CL7 means the Accord Euro with a 2.0L engine.
CL9 means it has a 2.4L engine.

In addition to the "CL" code, there is actually an additional code that not many know about.
ABA-CL9: 2.4L FWD (147/140kW)
DBA-CL7: 2.0L FWD (114kW)
ABA-CL8: 2.0L 4WD (112kW)
ABA-CL7: 2.0L FWD (162kW EuroR, manual only)

ABA-CL8: 2.0L 4WD (112kW)

I've seen a few references to the 4WD model around abouts. Is this JDM only? I'm guessing the system isn't designed to handle the power/torque of the EuroR or CL9. Shame really... a 4WD Euro with decent power would be quite a novelty! :cool:

It is a JDM only model and it can handle the 2.4L. There used to be a 2.4L 4WD wagon with 140kW (which is where our engine came from), but was discontinued in 2005. For now, the 4WD + 2.4L 147kW engine is used in the 4WD-optioned Odyssey Absolute.

162kw from 2L is pretty good. Is there anyone own CL7 in OZ? this is what i found in NZ websitehttp://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Honda/auction-80355406.htm

Even NZ can have CL7:o

It's a similar engine to the JDM DC5R.

No, we can't import it in because Honda sells the Accord Euro. The only way is as a personal import.

[euro69]

different interior aswell....
CL7 has recaro's

Does it faster than DC5R? i think CL7 is heavier.

CL7 suspension layout is better but it is hard to make up 200kg over DC5R

[aaronng]

Yeah, the JDM DC5R is still faster. If you compare the EuroR to the AUDM DC5R, it might be a close match. With coilovers, the EuroR might be able to beat a DC5R.

True, suspension set up and chassis make a difference. I just watched a great video. BMI Super Battle Touge Showdown 300 where a Phase Euro R (weight 1390kg) did really well even with stock interior (beat a modded 350z over the sector). I can't post links due to our terms and conditions but youtube may or may not be your friend..

BMI say:
"The secret is the high potential of the base car itself. Although the Accord shares the same engine as the Civic Type R (EP3) the Accord chassis is no doubt better than the Civic. With double wishbone suspension it requires less changes to the alignment. The Euro R can be set up with a wider range of sufficient stroke (not sure this part?)... That is why it can outrun the Civic despite a 200kg weight disadvantage."
