The fact that it has the EX - 2.0i badge may in fact mean that its equipped with the B20A. Every euro 3G I've seen with that 2.0i designation had the B20A in it. HTH

I bet that guy would've flipped out if he came outside and saw you taking pictures of his car. That is a nice car though, I hope he joins.

I dont think so - It is definitely A20A3 or A4 85 or 90kW
The B20A5/A8 were originally mounted only in accord sedan, which was named 2.0i-16 ( 98 or 101kW) , the fantastic B20A was never originally mounted in europe ( as far as I know - somebody correct me ? )

The B20A5/A8 is easily swapable into Aerodeck though....

The military will pay for the shipping to the U.S. for one car. I know when we came back to the U.S. from Germany, the military paid for my dads Toyota to be shipped, and Honda paid for the Accord (because my parents were in the military and bought the car in Germany while on tour).

What he means by those being American plates is that they are the ones the Military issue to you when you are over in Germany. The German plates look different. Those are the same plates I had on my cutlass when I was in Germany.

What You say is a mistake.
the EX-2,0i is a bage of every A20A3 and A20A4 injected engine.
3g with B20s are supposed to have a badge that looks like: 2,0i - 16 here in Europe.

This car has also a Exclusive Edition badge, wich means it should has leather seats and its covered with NH-503P just like mines :-)

Why wouldn't they fit?
Believe me they would.
This is EDM corner.
They are a bit different from the JDM, couse there is no blinker in it.

Not the B20A5 but B20A2 was mounted in sedans in EDM
B20A 160PS were Not,
B20A5 isn't swapable in Any 3g easilly.
You can only swap
B20A1, B20A2,B20A8 easily.

that nh-503p is a hot color, and is what adorns my sedan as well. too bad mine is all sunfaded. that's the only gripe i have about socal weather.

Nice car. I like the color !

Correct for the engine, it should be an A20A4. Aerodecks don't exist with the B20x engine.

Fushi this is probably a20a3, couse all of exclusive edition was like that.

as for corners, I think that Thegreatdane had a pair some time ago,

You know, if you get those Aerodeck corners, you could use the part of your USDM corners that holds the bulbs and use it on the Aerodeck corners. In other words, separate the lens of the Aerodeck corners from the rest and use the part that holds the bulbe on your USDM corners with the Aerodeck lens.

What for ?
all You have to do is make a hole for the plastic part where the bulb sits.

Yeah, but doing it the way I said it takes about a minute and no permanent destruction occurs, so why not.

separating the corner lens takes about a minute? is this a joke ?

what I said is no harm for the lamp either.
there is a place where the hole could be, but in edm it is covered with plastic.
so making one hole isnt hard i think, and for most it is easier than separating lens from the housing.

thegreatdane
12-17-2006, 01:49 PM
P|eszczoH is right, you only have to drill the hole and then you will be able to use the oem bulb socket.

Clean Aerodeck btw.

Joke? No. Figure of Speech? Yes. I just did it and timed myself, it took 2 minutes 42 seconds. What's so hard about it? Its held on by old glue, which will separate easily. All you have to do is remove the rubber "gasket" or whatever you would call it, and then separate the lense. If there is an already predrilled hole, then I guess that could be easier, but I still think both would take the same amount of time.

Proof.

I know that this is going off topic, but what did You use to separete it ? hot water ? heat gun or what ?

A18A
12-17-2006, 03:43 PM
a knife maybe

reanimator420
12-17-2006, 03:55 PM
could you just use the edm lense and the back of the usdm blinker so you dont have to drill at all?

A18A
12-17-2006, 04:05 PM
^^i think thats what toneloc was trynna say.. you could just use the park light bit as the blinker and then get a pair of fixed headlight bumper lights which have park lights in them :dunno:

Toneloc5145
12-17-2006, 04:32 PM
I just used my hands. If the corners were newish, you'd probably need a heat gun or something, but the glue was old on these because they are the original 89 lenses, so I just used my hands.
