ACCORD "ABOUT" - History, engine, tech specs, 0-100, 400m and much more!

[Paul Aerodeck86]

In the mean time I have completed the About section which incorporates all the information I could find about the Third Generation Accords including information regarding the various engines, suspension, styling, and much more. The article took much time to complete and is probably one of the most comprehensive publications available about the 1986-89 Accords.

Special Thanks goes out to 3axap ('89AccordLX(Rus)) for extensive help with the translation of my site.

I will be glad to hear your opinions!

VERY cool, Paul. You da man! B20A had twin processor control? Did I read that right??? Sounds like you might need an aftermarket ECU to truly realize its potential. DAMN, I WANT A B20A! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Paul you have a couple of small errors that I have seen.

The B20a2 european version is still 1958cc not 1955cc the same as the japanese B20a.

The B20a engined cars in europe were called 2.0i-16 not EXi

Paul did an amazing amount of research for this article and is still continuing to do further research to present more precise and extensive information. Would it be at all possible to maybe include this article or a link to it (with Paul's consent) in the FAQ section. This article would answer quiet a few questions that generally come up among newcomers (raw 3geezers) that come to the board. Of course it is never guarantied that they will head straight for the FAQs. :rolleyes:

Good job there Paul!! :D

Hey great article Paul. Great reading.....that 4 dr sedan offered in Europe and Japan is exactly what my ride looks like, except my car is white.

[Morpheus]

nice! Are your A20A1 specs right? It says 148 lb. ft. of torque but everything else I've read says 109. And does the tech book have nothing about coupes? Where are the 1/4 mile and 0-60 specs?

[IWLSF]

Great job man. Investing some time that other's dont, mad props.

It's not ft/lbs. it's in Nm which is 109 ft/lbs. of torque
