Hey, someone from my area!
The Accord S is the same as the Accord DX hatchback in the US

well i have the carb 2.0L engine, 5 speed manual, No power steering, 185/13 inch wheels.... nothing special i think
i really don't know what the S means - maybe they're all named accord s in canada
what else ? assisted brakes(disk/front, drum/rear), double wishbone suspension, but i'm sure that is all base equipement on dx isn't it ?
I'll keep searching about it;)

So the Accord S isn't like the 1984 Civic S Hatch? The S was the precursor to the Si (duh)...nice fancy seats, a few other options, yet still carburated. I guess they had an S model for the previous generation, too.

It was a bit strange(or hard?) at the beginning especially at low speed but now i'm getting used to it and I like the "road" feeling it gives under my hands
anyway what's this A20A2 engine ?
anything special compared to the BS engine ?

The BS is just another name for the A20A. They are the same engines

in 86, the carbed engine was the BS and the EFI engine was the BT. Later they were known as A20A1 Carb 86-89, A20A2 (I believe) EFI 87, and A20A3 EFI 88-89

Am I right in saying that if you want to convert to EFI on the BS you have to replace the head?

Kinda random, I know.. It just popped in my head..
