Why This Honda Accord Euro R Really Is The Best Accord Ever

[@dewalims]

Idk why people so obsessed with Civic while you can have all of comfort, fun, luxury, speed, style and torque with Accord

[@ugsl5236]

Accord is heavier and unwieldy in comparison to the Civic, and most people who buy a type r don't look for comfort, luxury, or torque anyways

[@wickedgames8768]

Lighter

[@CarlosOrtiz-lv4vp]

Accords are great cars, but many people don't tune them because the don't have a performance version like the civic. But they have sleepers with the same engine as the civic Type R just without the medications that the Type R and Si had.

[@apthashooter860]

This makes me want to do another H swap again. Had a Jdm H22a LSD transmission swapped into a 93 accord ex coupe. Full skunk2 exhaust set up, 2.5 inch all the way back welded 2.5 inch collector with electric cut out. Skunk2 intake manifold and it was port and polished, 70mil throttle body, full cai, Type S cams, balance shaft delete, race bearings, aggressive clutch setup. ACT 6puck no spring heavy duty pressure plate , 8.5lb fidanza aluminum flywheel. Revs fast. Explicit speed traction bar, upgraded type S prelude brakes on the front. Sk2 suspension all the way around. Drop 1.75 inch in the front and 1.5 inches in the rear. And it was tuned. Made 215 whp and 190ftq. Shit moved. Of and I forgot. Took out the 300 cc injectors and added 600 hundreds. Shit used to suck up gas. But when that vtec cracked after the tune. Geezus. Used to come in at 5500 dropped it to 3800. From there all the way to 8300rpm the car made power. With an 8800 redline. Shit was godly and stupid fast. For an all motor set up. Miss that car. Damn that’s a lot. Rant over lmao

[@estebanvargas8711]

Cb7 is the Best Accord

[@hotdognobun]

I went from LS/Vtec to H22 in my EG and didn’t notice a big weight difference in front. Had CAMS and thinner head gasket from Spoon. That motor was simply amazing in terms of feel cause of the torque in that light shell.

[@HOTPLATEGAMING]

I went the F20B instead of an H22A route when I had my 93 Accord SE back in the days.

[@cincin0722]

Me too man i have a 91 cb7 with the h22a in it its so fun to drive

[@cincin0722]

@Jack Russelle Lewis why are you even wasting time to comment if you don't care then why are you reading this. people like what they like maybe it has nothing to do with how much horsepower do you think people have to only like stuff with a lot of horsepower you don't need a lot of HP when your car can handle very well in a road course not everybody drag races or Diggs or whatever you kids call it nowadays

[@rens2998]

Had a CL1 as well. switched it out for a dc2. sometimes i miss the accord. that sais alot. the driving experiences are very alike. amazing car really

[@fuexueyg7408]

One of my favorite Honda ever. One day ima own one of these accord euro R. I’ve had many accord growing up since high school and this is one I will want to add on.

[@Yuaaaur]

I dont see alot of them in Australia but before I moved from NZ to Aus, those Type R accords were everywhere, even my grandpa had one that was red

[@James-z6u8x]

Yep there's heaps of them here in nz I had one

[@tonycarrera69]

The sound of the vtec and exhaust reminds me of when I was a kid and started liking cars! in 2001

[@DennisAntonCooking]

This is my dream car, a really beautifull one. I own a 1999 honda accord 1.8 l and i love it. I can't imagine how good is this

[@TornByThornss]

This is an awesome video and has me super excited. I just purchased a CL1 Euro R in Milano Red as my first JDM car. Absolutely can not wait until it arrives!

[@Saetchel]

I’ve always wondered why Honda folks never really talked about this car alongside with the CTR and ITR. Maybe they do, and I’m just following the wrong people LOL. Great video Clay!

[@bigguwapbrixks187]

Yea us Honda folk do talk about this cat it’s a rare gem.

[@alitoroganan2442]

it's slow and heavy☔

[@VirtualGuth]

At the end of the day, no matter how good, a sport sedan is still considered an oxymoron. But if you have a need to haul more than two people around on a regular basis they can make a lot of sense. When it comes to the majority of Honda's, practicality is at their core and in this regard the Accord Euro R is a star. The ITR shines for reasons of its own, while the CTR gets much attention for bringing the level of engagement it did at at a lower price point. At least initially - today's cars are just different beasts all together (I still prefer the older examples).

[@Saetchel]

@@VirtualGuth true. In terms of styling however, every car nowadays have such a cookie cutter-like look to them. I wouldn’t mind the new integras measly 1.5L engine if the silhouette wasn’t so much like a TLX rebrand. But to be fair, the 4th gen prelude, 5th gen accord, euro r, and itr had very similar faces, but were distinct enough to tell what car was which. Maybe I’m wrong about these newer cars, and as time moves on, I’ll realize that. One can only dream for Honda to create a 2 door sport/type r again 🥲

[@VirtualGuth]

​@@Saetchel Comparing today's cars to those of a few decades ago is an apples to oranges type of thing. The reality is that today's automotive designers have to contend with far more regulations than those of the past (hence a lot of the cookie-cutter look that you refer to). Plus, people seemingly just don't buy coupe's any longer. Aside from the degraded looks, the electronics technology in today's cars has become far too invasive for me personally. As a result, older cars offer a much higher level of driver engagement. Look at today's cars offering auto rev-matching as an example. The physical act of pulling off proper rev matching, especially during heel-toe maneuvers, is one of the more rewarding aspects of driving. Who would want the car to do this? The improved performance and safety offered by today's cars is nice, but I'll take the increased driving engagement and better looks offered by the older cars. (Not to mention that pretty much every infotainment system in existence is going to appear pretty outdated in just a few years down the road.) My advice is to buy the cleanest, best-maintained example you can afford of whatever older Honda most appeals to you (doing so sooner rather than later). A few years back I bought a pristine, all original S2000. This year I bought an all original 7th gen 6-6 Accord coupe in excellent condition. These two compliment each other perfectly. Combined, they have fewer than 90K miles while costing me the same as a single 2022 Toyota GR 86 Limited as an example. I understand the draw of owning a new car - I've owned a couple of them in my lifetime, but I simply find the older cars to be much more appealing. (The last few generations of the CTR strike me as a design atrocity to put it mildly.) When it comes to the older Honda's (or older cars in general), there is a lot to be said for buying one of the few remaining examples out there that are still in great condition. Especially when they are built as well as Honda's are.

[@atheekrinsan8166]

I saw this car today on the freeway, it looks sick! ♥️

[@antoniorafael7343]

Man i miss my euro r swap, had it in a base model 97 prelude. Wrecked it on November 27th. Completely totalled it. Didn't have space to pull the engine, had to sell as is for dirt cheap. Man i miss my lude.

[@xsct878]

That’s a CL1 mate

[@joelfuentes5148]

Back in the day in order for us to get a hint of the Euro look, we would have to swap a front end from a Honda Torneo to the front of a sixth gen Accord (98-22).

[@jdmnuggets]

Alot of these in new Zealand still, probably picking up a cheap one soon. I've owned one before they do, unfortunately, suffer gearbox issues

[@IntegraDIY]

I would actually think this cl1 is more raw compared to the dc5.. the cl1 is similar to the integra and 90’s civic, because the h series has that “muscle” feel like the b series, where the k series is much more smooth and faster revving

[@hus-_-bro2993]

220hp

[@andydhillon1977]

If I remember correctly, the Euro R Accord has slightly better gearing than the Prelude Type S. The Euro R transmission is the one to get. T2w4 is the code I believe. Personally, I would love to have the H23 Accord Bluetop with cams and this transmission mated to it.

[@jordang1408]

Had that exact setup in a 96 Accord Coupe. No cams but I still made just under 210hp with bolt-ons. Absolute blast to drive with the right suspension. Such a sleeper too
