I got a near stock one of these in Australia. $20k w/ 160,xxx kms and it's been perfect. It thrives on mountain roads with great torque and handling. Other than adding a bit more HP, I wouldn't change a thing. I have my dream ZX6R barely being ridden because I love the car so much. For $20k there isn't much like the cl1. Performance, reliability, convenience, appearance, uniqueness, comfort, jdm, manual, and sporty features. They're undervalued imo.
H series motors here in the U.S. used to be the standard big block to modify and slap in Hondas before the K series replaced it. It was especially cool because we never had a stock H22 or H23 Accord 5th or 6th gen (just the economy F22B1/2, F23's, and the V6 models), but if you wanted to do it, it was super easy to slap them in and have some cool N/A builds.
I'm currently driving an auto CL9. But next year I'm definitely definitely going to buy myself that beautiful sexy CL1. It shall be mine. Thank you for this video. You just solidified my choice. I cannot wait for the CL1 to be mine.
I wanted to see a drag race between the the accords 😅. But definitely a amazing video, I can hear that you didn't push the car too much 😄. I would definitely be scared if someone told me my FWD car makes 300hp 👀😂

Yeah giving a figure like that and not giving whp is suss. It's probably never been measured so to be generous it might be a "theoretical" 300hp based on some forum math.

Yeah true back in the day they were common but not so much anymore
I have the Euro R motor in my Prelude.
We only have 1 CL1R here in Singapore, it was sold for an insane $140k Singapore Dollars. One of my proper dream cars beside the CL7R.
Goodness that’s insane
You can get a tidy example in New Zealand for about 15-20K
@@aeronprasad5099 I know! In jealous!
That sound is immense 🥵
It’s good aye
Love the Accord content!
Thanks
Now thats VTEC dedication.
Absolutely

the cl1 looks amazing wish they were sold here in the US
Yeah would have been nice. In 2025 you can import them
I mean it’s essentially just like the 99-2000 honda accord dx-ex and v6 trims. Exterior wise at least.
@@fujiwatertofumi5363 Ohh not really haha every panel is different. Imo the CL looks heaps better than the CF

If you like the feel of the H22, you should try and get your hands on a Prelude
Done plenty
Lucky you, always so much bloody traffic around that area hard to get on vtec most the time.
Yeahhh
Fuuuntastic 😍
Yuuurs
What a beautiful car ❤👍🏻✌🏻🏁
Lovrly
H series All day best sounding very tough and torquey engines when modified and tuned right.
I prefer k series

CL1 is the real euro r for me.
Fair enough
You looked very shy with that Accord... I would like to see some pull seeing the front, not always your face haha cheers
Can’t show the speedo
We need another Euro R
Mmm
Your blue Euro-R seems to have the suspension modified, is that correct?
It’s lowered yeah
Kumeu back roads is the best place to test a cars performance
Indeed
I almost bought a modified one of these 3 years ago but got messed around so didn't happen, I love them though
They're a lot of fun
Cl1 is the most good looking of them all.
Pretty car
Ha that car would get me into trouble, I am sure I would not be able to resist giving it a thrashing every time I drove it!
Haha yeah man the vtec is epic
that vtec is so loud
Absolutely
You should come to us to try our usdm acuras🤣
Would be cool!
We need to put him in a TL-S 6 speed to start haha.
Gosh whats with the wheel combo haha im not a fan of different mags on front/ back. Sick car though and sounds great.
Yeah it's a bit of an odd one haha
shit i would love to take a cl1 for a testdrive,
Would recommend
Do you know what the exact exhaust model
Not sure sorry, I believe it's custom
僕もcl1乗ってます。なんか嬉しいです。
Good stuff
Whats the rear spoiler????
Either mugen or modulo
Very nice, but why no Turbo kf someone's spending all that on the motor
Good setup to go FI in the future
some ppl prefer a high revving naturally aspirated engine
no way thats 300 hp
No chance
Definitely an exaggeration - not by a huge margin, however inflated none the less.
Yeah I dunno aye
Seems more like 260hp not whp
Yeah giving a figure like that and not giving whp is suss. It's probably never been measured so to be generous it might be a "theoretical" 300hp based on some forum math.
I would love to race this cl1 with my cl1 lolz i think id smoke it haha its not actually that aggressive for a 300hp,mine is total aggressive haha
Would be cool!
😍😍😍👍👍
Lovely
Did you line it up
Nah
no way in hell thats 300 at the flywheel
Yes you’re right haha
comment for algorithm
I'm in total agreement with this statement
Thanks
Honda Honda Honda
not Honda today sad
but theres allays a but it is what it is
if got old honda its worth a lot
Yes
Bruh, what did you even say
