Well done mate, if there's something I learned is that hoarding is no fun but it's also important to pick a buyer who will cherish it the way you. 👊 all things come to pass.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah man the guy who's got it is a good lad I'm sure he'll look after it and enjoy it

[@spadgm]

Money well spent mate, and a great series! Looking forward to the next mystery machine!

[@KiwiCarLife]

In the coming weeks you all shall see!

[@xenonsaccord4447]

Thank you for another pricing video, was a joy to watch this series. I definitely need new sway links and other miscellaneous creaks under the suspension I’m trying to track down lol.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah it makes a difference for sure

[@andrecab1125]

End of an era part 2. Keen to see what's next after this if it even exists, your content will never get boring to watch man!

[@KiwiCarLife]

Thanks man! Some good stuff on the way

[@Vikturus22]

I feel you for the AC compressor. The one on my MK5 GTI went in December ( just as I go on break and it gets to 25+c lol ) only got it replaced and regased about 2 weeks ago. Cost me $800 which in grand scheme is not too bad but stung ( got a OEM AC from FCP ) Also the Pearl Harbour joke was pretty good NGL

[@KiwiCarLife]

Oh dear hahah

[@ayske1]

Great ep. Your videos make me want to touch up the paint on my 2012 legacy GT!

[@KiwiCarLife]

Worth it man!

[@jugostran]

Thank you for posting all of these Accord Euro videos. After watching most (if not all) of them, I've decided to get myself a nice base spec 2003 Accord Euro with 100k on the clock in Arctic Blue Metallic. Can't wait to experience the K20 and the five speed box those base models came with. Cheers!

[@KiwiCarLife]

@@jugostran marvellous! Enjoy the new car

[@jugostran]

@@KiwiCarLife Thanks!

[@J_SP3C]

Happy to see my old Euro R has been saved. Its got some genuine volk rays evolution 4 mesh wheels 18x8 18x9 with brandnew tyres when i sold it like 4 years ago. Its a mint car back then until i sold it to a guy in Wellington. And its gone after that. Good to see it now.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah it got absolutely wrecked down here sadly but it’s back in business now

[@salteveline]

thank u for sharing ❣️ really informative CL7 project

[@KiwiCarLife]

All good man!

It looks so good damn good, I'm in love. Dream Car for me 😊

[@KiwiCarLife]

Mmm yes me too

[@ryanhoward8238]

Cool series! Recently found your videos and I like them! I just picked up one of these, a blue CL7 Euro R - it’s lots of fun. Are the wheels you put on just factory CL7 wheels? The simple styling looks great!

[@KiwiCarLife]

Thanks man and yeah factory cl7 wheels

[@Chad.D]

Hey Liam, i really enjoyed your type S and euro R videos. i have an acura tsx with relativity the same mods and it is by far the most fun ive had in cars. im 37 had a few lexus is300 and 250 vw jettas, civics Ek,EM, other accords and even a legend.... these k-series cl7/9s are a real bag of fun. and im glad to see you enjoyed both of them as well. the best parts of this series is when they gap the bmw 328/330 :)

[@KiwiCarLife]

Haha yeah that surprised a lot of people! A lot were sure the 330ci would win. And yep, great cars

[@Esdru221]

Cl9 just with reflash is already faster than 330i hahahaha. But you need to open motor to reach M3 level

[@MagMan4x4]

Had to do a bunch of these same things to my 04 TSX that was abandoned for years in a parking lot.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Oh wow that’s cool!

[@NathanCAY1010]

Guy went back with the stock exhaust, a man of quiet car culture until we want to make noise😎👌🏾

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yes

[@andrewrobertson3894]

Hi mate. Loving your videos. They're actually quite inspirational and have motivated me to try and follow suit with an Accord rebuild. Just one question and maybe a dumb one but is 190 - 200k's a no no? I don't have a big budget so obviously want to buy the car relatively cheap and put most of my money into the rebuild. Cheers.

[@KiwiCarLife]

This one had done 220,000km and I bought it back to life. Good thing with Hondas is even at those k’s the engine will still be fine. It’ll just be the bushes, accessories, gearbox, driveshafts etc. that are a bit tired

[@Caleb__main]

damn that all added up

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yep

[@edwinjuarez4784]

Love the content bro, btw where did you get the headlights and the wheels?

[@KiwiCarLife]

Headlights were out on the car when it was brand new in 2006 and have never been removed. Wheels I bought off fb marketplace

[@Alkhoholic]

I watched this last night then this morning, I saw the car while driving in East Auckland. It was the car infront of me, what a coincidence!

[@KiwiCarLife]

Haha yep she’s in aucks now

[@harrymcdonald5544]

great video man, keep these up.

[@KiwiCarLife]

Thanks

[@harisdevedzic3167]

It comes to 12k as I could see, worth the price , I mean it's Accord R, future classic for sure

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah definitely worth it

[@user-gy9wu6oz4n]

Hi you test and compare the euro r accords, just wonder if you will be testing the type r accord and maybe comparing it the other accords such as the euro r type s

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah I’ve done heaps of comparisons search them up!

[@user-gy9wu6oz4n]

@@KiwiCarLife I did search but couldn't find vid on accord type r ch1, can u give me idea when u did viv as went pretty far back but could only find vid on accord euro r cl1 which I know is a JDM spec accord type r but there are still differences to the looks and stuff.

[@yoggyyoggy4598]

bro thats a steal for that price, accord euros in Australia is like 20k plus

[@KiwiCarLife]

Yeah nz is a lot cheaper

Until you fimd a way to put those sits clean you're not done yet. Not gonna question the drive experience or any other work you done with it thou. Looks great I do prefer the behind of the previous (CL9 modulo) body kit thou

[@KiwiCarLife]

Fair

[@igorkarlik365]

If cl7r have steering wheel from ep3, it means it doesn't have cruise control like your previous cl9?
