What's a 300hp CL1 Accord Euro R Like to Drive?

[@memillionthdoot4436]

H series motors here in the U.S. used to be the standard big block to modify and slap in Hondas before the K series replaced it. It was especially cool because we never had a stock H22 or H23 Accord 5th or 6th gen (just the economy F22B1/2, F23's, and the V6 models), but if you wanted to do it, it was super easy to slap them in and have some cool N/A builds.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah true back in the day they were common but not so much anymore

[@bonetoad]

We only have 1 CL1R here in Singapore, it was sold for an insane $140k Singapore Dollars. One of my proper dream cars beside the CL7R.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Goodness that’s insane

[@aeronprasad5099]

You can get a tidy example in New Zealand for about 15-20K

[@bonetoad]

@@aeronprasad5099 I know! In jealous!

[@Denzil214]

I wanted to see a drag race between the the accords 😅. But definitely a amazing video, I can hear that you didn't push the car too much 😄. I would definitely be scared if someone told me my FWD car makes 300hp 👀😂

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah absolutely haha

[@iCanBeDaniel]

That sound is immense 🥵

[@KiwiCarLife]

It’s good aye

[@Autoblox0]

Now thats VTEC dedication.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Absolutely

[@adamtrott9528]

I saw you at work today, you were busy. big fan keep it up

[@KiwiCarLife]

Oh gee did you?

[@harrier1830]

I'm currently driving an auto CL9. But next year I'm definitely definitely going to buy myself that beautiful sexy CL1. It shall be mine. Thank you for this video. You just solidified my choice. I cannot wait for the CL1 to be mine.

[@KiwiCarLife]

You shall purchase

[@skythundersky1544]

Love the Accord content!

[@KiwiCarLife]

Thanks

[@thatguyben3128]

_The H sounds awesome ❤ nice review_

[@KiwiCarLife]

Thanks man

[@xavierrodriguez5202]

the cl1 looks amazing wish they were sold here in the US

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah would have been nice. In 2025 you can import them

[@fujiwatertofumi5363]

I mean it’s essentially just like the 99-2000 honda accord dx-ex and v6 trims. Exterior wise at least.

[@KiwiCarLife]

@@fujiwatertofumi5363 Ohh not really haha every panel is different. Imo the CL looks heaps better than the CF

[@xavierrodriguez5202]

@@fujiwatertofumi5363 I have an ex v6 2000 honda accord actually they’re very different exterior wise lol

[@fujiwatertofumi5363]

@@xavierrodriguez5202 I mean yeah. What I meant was kinda similar. Body lines and panals are way more sharper. Especially can tell by the front headlights and rear taillight. But all in all I can’t wait to import the euro r accord.

[@soendsournight]

Would be nice to see in-depth list of engine mods and components

The driving experience part was intense. I love this car so much!

[@KiwiCarLife]

It’s cool man

[@HustlrG]

Your face says it all! Haha love it man

[@KiwiCarLife]

Haha yep

[@user-yh9kn2gf1j]

love that vtec kickin sound 🎉

[@KiwiCarLife]

Good noise

[@johnconnor2402]

If you like the feel of the H22, you should try and get your hands on a Prelude

[@KiwiCarLife]

Done plenty

[@Esdru221]

You looked very shy with that Accord... I would like to see some pull seeing the front, not always your face haha cheers

[@KiwiCarLife]

Can’t show the speedo

[@supersantos2007]

Accord Ch1 type R got same engine and running gear as Cl1 accord/torneo euro R/prelude Type S/Spec S H22a7lsd 5speed manual 220hp/221nm awesome engine's and cars

[@KiwiCarLife]

@@supersantos2007 similar yep, there’s a few different H22 versions. The prelude Type S and CL1 make a bit more power than the CH1

[@supersantos2007]

@@KiwiCarLife it's the same h22a7 red top engine and LSD 5spd but gears are slightly shorter on cl1,ch1 type r has 212hp/216nm Vs 220hp/221nm enjoy watching your honda content out of all your videos and lexus Isf is a awesome car my favourite would have to be the Euro r turbo and this modified cl1 .

[@jimes69]

Lucky you, always so much bloody traffic around that area hard to get on vtec most the time.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeahhh

[@jimmypage6976]

CL1 is the real euro r for me.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Fair enough

[@chiefslief1886]

What a beautiful car ❤👍🏻✌🏻🏁

Lovrly

Kumeu back roads is the best place to test a cars performance

[@KiwiCarLife]

Indeed

[@supersouljah5326]

H series All day best sounding very tough and torquey engines when modified and tuned right.

[@KiwiCarLife]

I prefer k series

[@supersouljah5326]

@@KiwiCarLife k series is most popular honda engine solid platform from factory chain driven, fully sleeved ,clockwise rotation so can swap into nearly anything ect... Iam just bias cause owned prelude h22a redtop manual LSD awesome car.

[@nathanknight8022]

I almost bought a modified one of these 3 years ago but got messed around so didn't happen, I love them though

[@KiwiCarLife]

They're a lot of fun

[@kenpachiihd9777]

We need another Euro R

[@KiwiCarLife]

Mmm

[@azrael8890]

You should come to us to try our usdm acuras🤣

[@KiwiCarLife]

Would be cool!

[@xenonsaccord4447]

We need to put him in a TL-S 6 speed to start haha.

[@shaneellison3562]

I would love to race this cl1 with my cl1 lolz i think id smoke it haha its not actually that aggressive for a 300hp,mine is total aggressive haha

[@KiwiCarLife]

Would be cool!

[@spadgm]

Ha that car would get me into trouble, I am sure I would not be able to resist giving it a thrashing every time I drove it!

[@KiwiCarLife]

Haha yeah man the vtec is epic

[@butterz3488]

Gosh whats with the wheel combo haha im not a fan of different mags on front/ back. Sick car though and sounds great.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah it's a bit of an odd one haha

[@victorwilks88]

that vtec is so loud

[@KiwiCarLife]

Absolutely

[@fulledbyarm]

no way thats 300 hp

[@byron1dagg80]

No chance

[@gavinr9107]

Definitely an exaggeration - not by a huge margin, however inflated none the less.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah I dunno aye

[@Esdru221]

Seems more like 260hp not whp

[@christopherjohnston6343]

Yeah giving a figure like that and not giving whp is suss. It's probably never been measured so to be generous it might be a "theoretical" 300hp based on some forum math.

[@dinoc]

Your blue Euro-R seems to have the suspension modified, is that correct?

[@KiwiCarLife]

It’s lowered yeah

[@vxbxz2699]

Do you know what the exact exhaust model

[@KiwiCarLife]

Not sure sorry, I believe it's custom

[@bluz9951]

shit i would love to take a cl1 for a testdrive,

[@KiwiCarLife]

Would recommend

[@shuhelmiah7729]

Very nice, but why no Turbo kf someone's spending all that on the motor

[@KiwiCarLife]

Good setup to go FI in the future

[@superjervis]

some ppl prefer a high revving naturally aspirated engine

[@vtecminileon]

no way in hell thats 300 at the flywheel

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yes you’re right haha
