    Accord 2.0i-16 DOHC (B20A)

    Here are some decent new pics of my 3g Accord. The car has lot's of km's on it, but nevertheless it's still in excellent condition. Needless to say, I love the B20A engine!









    It's not the type of car you drive... it's the size of the arm hanging out of the window.

    Wow! Your car looks awesome. Very well taken care of. The miles don't matter, some of guys have over 300,000 miles, whatever that is is km's. I like the rims too and am drooling over the B20. Just be sure to keep us posted about anything you do to it.

    Thanks!

    My ride has 300.000km on it now, it's roughly 186.000 miles. The engine feels great, pulls very nicely from around 4000rpm up to 7000rpm!! Honda specs say it takes 8.5 seconds from 0-100km/h, so you can expect around 8.4 sec 0-60mph.

    The rims are 16" Alessio San Remo (bright metal).

    Stock muffler with the stock twin tip output (all fuel injected versions have the stock twin tip around here). I plan to change the muffler some time when I get the cash, lot's of bills to pay!

    VERY VERY nice. Damn what I would give for that badge on the rear of my car. It's just Honda's way of making those 3G's subtly answer the lingering question of "what the hell does that car have in it" as the owner of your last victim stares at the back end of your car and see's that little badge.

    I was going to edit out of your post, but I think it's my duty to say something vs just making it go away. Especially since someone other than hushman reported it to ALL the moderator's via the "report this post" button

    Are you sure? They do look a little dark but the photos are a little dark too.

    Foobari--> Did you place the front license plate there yourself or was it hanging there when you bought it? BTW you should remove the 2 rubber thingys on the front bumper. That would look much better Neat car! Do you have a lot of the 16valve's in Finland?

    I wish they were "Turbo boost" and "Ejection seat" like A20A1 said, haha!

    In reality the first one is a switch for the motor antenna up/down, the second one is for the front light washer+wiper (damn, they don't work, I don't know what's the problem yet), and the third is the adjustable front seat warmer for those cold winters we have around here. All stock.

    I was wondering about the tinted taillights myself, and yes I do think there is a little bit of tint there even though the yellow and red are still clearly visible.

    About the front plate, I've had the car just about one month now, and I guess the previous owner had replaced the license plate, anyhow in stock models it is much higher in the bumper.

    Hmmmm... good idea about the 2 rubber things, I'm just not sure if the whole bumper needs to be painted after removing those.

    In Finland the 3g Accord is amazingly popular car considering it's age. Most of the models are carb 2.0 EX models, then we have a very few carb 1.6 LX or EX models, not many fuel injected 2.0 EXi's, and as you can imagine, the 2.0i-16's are very rare. And on top of that, our climate and the salted roads on winters make sure that every 15-year old Accord is bitten by the rust bug, some more, some less, usually more... or even more. I consider myself really lucky finding this one!

    About my ideas for the car in the future... as of now, it is our family's one and only car (you know: kids, groceries, work-home, etc.), so I don't have any big plans for it at the moment. But in a year or two when I get the car to myself I think I'll drop it a little (not too much since the 2.0i-16 is already a little bit lower than other 3gees, and I've already hit the ground a couple of times with the license plate ), then I should get the adjustable cam gears, 4-2-1 header and better flowing pipe and muffler. The engine has the stock 138hp, I have a K&N now, then after adding the above mods I think I am looking at anything around 150-160hp. What do you guys think, realistic? I am definitely going to keep the car clean, no neons, stickers or any other ricey stuff, I'm too old for that! :pimp:

    Yearh, tell me about it! The 3geez in Denmark are suffering very much from the salted roads in the winter. Most of them are very rusty and unfortunately very few people cares for them so it's only getting worse. The 16valves are very rare here too, so i can imagine how happy you must be! So far i think i have seen one 16valve for sale and the rest of them lies on the junkyard

    Here's a couple of pics of my old 1987 2.0 EXi Accord (A20A engine), a very nice car also. Yeap, I know the rim-wheel combo is a little bit small (15" + 195/50R15) but it was taken out of my old 1984 1.5S Civic. Also, the car would have definitely needed a drop and firmer springs/shocks, it was way too soft.







    You'll find some more pics here.
