I love how a K24 accord is slowish but when you put the same engine with a short transmission on a much lighter civic you get a same era WTCC performance like car 🤣 It's like, it's always Weight and Gear ratio that kill 99% of cars potential

[@Esdru221]

It's not that. Short gear and weight give it the final crispy punch, but the real lack of performance is because it's SO downgrade from factory... Starting for the garbage stock map, restricted nd long intake, 60mm TB, a low-mid focused intake manifold that chocked in highs, 25°vtc, intake cam that chocked in highs too, catalytic, and a ridiculous 2" exhaust... Fixing all that you have 260hp that still have long gearing and a heavy flywheel but the car is a beast too

[@OptimusMatrix]

[@doueven]

Wow. Never thought I'd see one of these on here. I have one of these in manual as well and have owned it for over 10 years. It saw me through uni and I ended up keeping it. I daily a Camry Hybrid (lol) and weekend MK7 Gti. These CL9s in stock form aren't super quick, the gearing is way too long. The best mod setup people do for these to bring them to life are - Intake, headers, exhaust, tune, intake manifold, maybe throttle body from the TSX, K20 head if you have the money, DC5 box and LSD. Headers, tune and intake make the biggest difference. Would love to see Misha take a modified one for a lap

I own this 7gen. but it's a TypeS with ECU reflash and headers. Runs at about 225ish hp, with a 6.9sec to 100km/h as a side reference, with VTEC running from @4800rpm. The car is a lego to upgrade, depending how much money you want to spend. Easy to extract more hp from that K24A3 engine. But having hydraulic steering with great feedback, great shifter, double wishbone as a stock car...it was a comfy sedan built by maniac japanese engineers. The guys from the romanian group of Accord owners are crying because these machines are a dying breed... Misha, you have to find a modded one to drive.

[@endlesstwisties]

You forgot to mention the power/ weight ratio ..

[@The_Noticer.]

The issue is it doesn't have anywhere near that 190 out of VTEC, which only comes in way too late (6grand). Mine with headers and intake, pre-tune, was 170 HP before VTEC kicks in. 220 when it did... So given the fact that with its long gears you're most of the time outside of VTEC, its not going to go very fast.

The issue with the K24A3 in its stock config is that ridiculously high VTEC engagement (6000rpm, 7200fuel cutoff) and long gear ratio's in this CL9 Accord. (CL7 Euro R has better ratios). So with every shift you go outside of VTEC range. An intake, exhaust and VTC gear, with a tune to lower VTEC and you absolutely transform the car. Mine picked up 40 horsepower in the 3000-5000rpm range from a couple hundred euro's of mods and a tune. Truely doing yourself a disservice keeping these stock... Also, VMAX means above 220kph the engine will start to throttle itself. You really, really have to get these tuned...

You need to drive a modded one @misha. They are fantastic. K24 is really great, and the accord chassis also. Try to get a full bolt-on one, the flash makes a big difference. The standard car's vtec only engages around 6k.. the flash brings it down the 4-4.5k region
