Thought I would start a new thread about my 5th gen U.K Accord.

A few stats (stock):

Engine - F18A3- 118bhp 131lb/ft. 1850cc non-VTEC SOHC 16v injection
Rev-limiter - 7210rpm
Chassis - CE7 code
Brakes - Disks all round non-ABS
Suspension - Multi-link mcpherson strut, anti-roll bars front and rear.
0-60 - 10.5secs
max speed- 121mph.

First car bought hence the 1.8 engine for lower insurance. Entry level Accord but still a very capable car.

I have done a few mods to the car, nothing major because parts are very rare for the European Accords had to improvise on some things.

Mods:

Engine - Advanced timing to 19 degrees, running 98RON fuel, Inlet and exhaust ports polished and gas flowed, Pipercross foam air filter on stock piping ( getting a custom box and pipe made).
Exhaust - Custom design in progress from Cat back, based on the Spoon design for the Civic with a few changes to fit Accord. 2.5" piping getting used.
Brakes - EBC Turbo Groove disks on the front with AP Lockheed pads, EBC solid disks on rears with Lucas pads.
Suspension - Had HKS coilovers on but sold them cause I needed cash running stock height untill I get some cash, them some Eibach springs and Koni dampers. Strut bars are getting made for the car because there are none about. Front and rear upper and lower. Trying to source anti-roll bars from an ATR for the car.

The engine bay looks like the US Accord from 90-93 in terms of component positioning to give an idea untill pics come.

A 5th gen Civic with a 4th gen Accord front end. Cool. Just kidding, pretty smooth. Can you send me a big barrel of that gas? Wish I had some.

H23 Power

98 ron is not 98 octane, you know that right?

accordUK

The fuels actual octane is 98.1. It's called Shell Optimax.

We have fuels of 95, 97 and the 98.1 in the U.K. I have ran above 100 octane before with addatives.

Anybody seen my wheels on another Accord before?, cause I think I have the only set in the UK!!

98 ron = 98.1 octane close enough (but no i didn't know ) I'll take the highest octane ya got! Send me the barrel!

accordUK

If I could send you the barrell I would

To fill a 50 gallon Barrell would cost £179.33 ($278.53). Optimax costs 78.9p ($1.21) per litre over here. It will cost a fortune.

Don't know if your motors are set to run that sort of octane

Kazmans94cord

hell thats some cheap gas!!

accordUK

Hell Yeah

What do you guys pay per litre/galon?

l0p3z

nice...

zeta_msz_006

Actually do you have a picture of the taillights? They look different the the NA models.

Brandon

For 93 Octane **** water (compared to your gas), we have to pay $1.45 a gallon.

accordUK

I'll get pics of the tails when I get the camera back.

Brandon

They are Civic lights from the US....which scares me.

accordUK

They are not the same as the US Civic but are quite similar in shape just different size.

Gennady

It must be pretty slow. However, how the hell does it put out 131lb ft of torque?

Brandon

Stroke.

Gennady

I thought bore puts out more torque?

greensleeper

no stoke, which is why the F22 is so wicked under boost.

XMarkGuerillaX

that "H" is big as shiznit!!!!!!

ExAcc

They pay by the liter...that would be roughly $4.00 per gallon....

greensleeper

never ever heard of that before... very cool. If an H22 dropped in there... well then you'd be the ******* King of England.

Any idea what the curb weight is?

like the new RSX set up?

edit: I hear the word McPherson and I automatically think RSX.


ouch

Gennady

Yeah, Macphersen is what the RSX has.

accordUK

I can post the full info of the engine up tomorrow.

Managed to get the 0-60 time down to 8.7. Top speed at 131mph.

Kazmans94cord

very ouch.
