Accord Euro-R CL7 maintenance..

[helmistaley]

Hello hondarians,
Just wanna get some opinion from u guys about accord euro-r cl7....now im looking forward to own one preferably a recon model,but im not very sure about the maintenance cost and availability of the spareparts here in malaysia since the car is very rare.i have a few questions:
1)does it share same engine parts with fd2r,since it also uses k20a?
2)have you guys ever encounter any cl7 halfcut in klang valley area?is it hard to get one?
3)could u guys suggest any reputable workshop for it?bcoz now using EK used to send to 'under tree' workshop...hehe
4)any known problem about the car.....
hope opinions from u guys could help...cheers...

As for engine, as long as stock and maintain intervally, shouldnot be any problems.

As for bodyparts, u have to cry first..then may be u get small parts. No hcut available yet. Just pray a lot. But not to worry, s'pore a lot!!

Service centre - any normal workshop can do. Don't too much believe on workshop reputation, especially in sunway areas.

Thank for d info Aja...now as far as i see the problem is to get the bodyparts.for engine i wont worry much since honda is very reliable.nowadays also most of recon car dealer not interested to import the CL7 model that make it more difficult.they said theres no demand and something to do with honda malaysia policy,to avoid competition with malaysian accord something like that.but i believe theres fans and owners of CL7 model out there(ada ka?if so can be my future sifu la...hehe)

CL7, ada,... got many in malaysia already,...
we know there's abt 5,... from havoc and zth and mttrader forum,...
out there on the road,... maybe 100-200,... the R and also the 2.0E and the 2.4 CL9,...

agreed....stay in stock condition no problem la. bro aja euro r also no engine modification but still can tapau evo n no major problems on the engine until now

helmi, no need look for future sifu,...
bulet's original CL1 is more rare than the CL7
u can buy orange/apple for sifu aja / sifu bulet / etc.

anyway, the policy of honda malaysia,...
nowadays not applicable liao,... it was in the early year 2000s that the policy and AP law was in-force, thus, recond hondas (those celebrate 5th birthday) at that time,... u pay a high premium compared to buying an evo/scooby/garisan langit,... etc,...

thatz why the EK9, EK4, CF4, CL1,... and such,... byk kurang in malaysia.

as aja said,... negara singa banyak!

 

[amdfaisal]

yup... go register in shc-forum and then take a look at the 'want to sell' section... more parts for CL7 than u can imagine...

 

[murcielago]

Bros, now where can get CL7 except Naza ya?? cos so far rahman brothers, dmg, mutiara that used to advertise no longer put CL7 ad d....Naza one very expensive i saw, they quote 18Xk++

 

[helmistaley]

Hehe..tats rite amdfaisal,i oso saw ur name in d shc-forum looking for CL7 parts.so now i can see brighter chance to own one:proud: one more question,for normal wear n tear/consumable parts like beltings,engine mounts,oil filter etc can it use fd2r or dc5 ones?are they similar?
later on will belanja sifus ciken rice laa...slightly up than apple/oranges...ehehe

 

[fobs]

we have a taiko CL7R,...

his name is superman

6th gen and 7th gen jdm accord geng, many many sifu,... inside the sifu also got penghulu, presiden, akod-pilot, red sun.

k20aR,...

dc5r, fd2r, cl7r, ep3r,... same lah,... only different tuning and some different dimension at IM, etc,...


weih,...18xK for a CL7???
better buy used,... save 30 to 40k,... can use the $ to modd cantek cantek.

or use the money to buy 1 red CL1, one white cf4, one silver cf4k. Total get 13.5 wheels,... 12 + (3x 0.5 spare tires)

 

[amdfaisal]

so far i have only come across used CL7R twice... the first one a 2006 model that was on sale in 2007 for 206k complete with some mugen parts and then another one last year in MT... a 04 model asking for 16xk while unreg CL7s were selling for 15xk...

DMG told me once that they can order the car for you... put some deposit and then they'll search the car for you.

the one in NAZA... which one... in TTDI with mugen exhaust or in PJ. in PJ it's an 06 model explaining the high price... well in fact the high price is not really explicable in the first place

 

[Vagabond]

the k20A engine is practically (almost) identical to the dc5's / ep3's ........ shares alot of common parts , and inter-swappable.

just worry more on the parts like the funny pins / links, especially in the undercarriage , lower arms, mounts, etc , which are not common with other Honda models.

bro, is there any problem with car frm DMG?so far they offer the cheapest but it seems they finished their stocks already. The one in Naza i saw twice, once in TTDI another time in PJ, both also 2005 car black colour offer at RM180+k, discount only minimal amount. so far seem like CL7 is the optimum car for me as i travel a lot and it's 4 door.

bros, what is the power (hp) for CL9?? i got malaysia fren driving one in singapore. but somehow dunno the engine is high power one or same with local honda accord 2.4 which is 170/180hp..

i think same la....coz local accord tu, body je using honda inspire....inside, jantung, paru paru, buah pinggang all using CL7 n CL9. but...seems that inspire year 2002 n above in japan are made with 3000cc engine, so their body also big n heavy. but when the body masuk with 2400cc and 2000cc local accord, even u hav 180hp pun...cannot run properly la coz body heavy

abe fobs...my CL1 for sale rm130k. nak?kekekekek...ya la abe, Euro R CL7 got 1 type oni...

 

[helmistaley]

recently i went to DMG and they said can bring in CL7 and price is cheaper than offered by Naza.they asked me what spec i want and they'll find it for me.but my concern now is the car quality from them...and also after sale service.the one at Naza showroom is in good condition and got 1 year warranty..but it cost me higher price.at DMG its cheaper,but only 1 month warranty and dunno the car condition since its still in japan...pening...pening...

radio,... u can add in a convertor or something.
ascy shop / kedai abang got.

the jdm frequency is 78-89 i think,...
so u convert it up by 10,...

so ur 78 is actually 88
ur 89 is 99,...

something along that way.

or, pick out those cash bills,... tukar saje,.. double din, triple din,...

 

[bien335]

dollah dollah bill yau!

Ya Fobs, we all set one TT in the middle of the laut.

The radio frequency is limted to 90MHz only, so you need a modulator.

 

[helmistaley]

oo i see..how about the engine performance?since i never drive any k20a before.few more question to sifus:

1)when the car is in cruising speed,let say during 140-150kmh what is the engine rpm?how about climbing Genting,can beat genting taxi(nissan sentra) effortlessly ke...hehehe.bcoz all i'm worrying for vtec engine is the torque..

2)during test drive how can i check whether vtec operates properly?is there any vtec changeover sound like B series?or got indication lite one...

thanks guys..
