Hey, someone from my area!

The Accord S is the same as the Accord DX hatchback in the US

**bladekid** · 09-23-2002, 01:55 PM

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

hey bladekid, I sent you a personal message

**bladekid** · 09-23-2002, 03:14 PM

carotman,

yep i know.....
didn't get my answer ? sent it about 5:40 pm

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.

I've got an LX-i hatch..it's pretty sweet

**YK86** · 10-02-2002, 07:29 AM

Welcome! You don't have power steering?? Moonscryer will be happy to here this.

What?!? No power steering!! I like that...

***carotman*** · 10-04-2002, 03:15 AM

some hatch didn'T have PS in Canada

(they also have an A20A2 engine)

**bladekid** · 10-07-2002, 01:30 PM

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 ?

***carotman*** · 10-07-2002, 03:07 PM

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

**James** · 10-07-2002, 06:59 PM

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

**James** · 10-07-2002, 07:00 PM

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

**James** · 10-07-2002, 07:42 PM

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