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)

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!

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-Mo...n-80355406.htm

Even NZ can have CL7

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.
