Hi guys! L3G10N on kiwi's computer.

I was wondering if there's any difference between 96-97 and 98-99 as we can find on every generation of accord?

Like different tails slight difference on the headlight etc etc.

I;ve not seen anything on the noob topic related to this.

Tnx in adavance!!

 

Grilles, wheels, 2.2/2.3 motor stock for the 4 cylinder models. Interior is slightly different. 98+ has steering wheel audio controls, different console / interior panels. Heated mirrors on 98+ also I believe. I *think* 98-99 also has homelink as an option? Not sure. 98+ also has immobilizer keys. There are many differences but I am not sure of them all as I have a 97.

 

different grille, and slightly different center console, different gauge colors, 98-99 came with leather on all levels, new wheels for every year and 97 had the f22b1 while 98-99 had the f23. and 97 3.0 transmission is different from the 98-99 3.0, and also all 97's had hub over rotor brakes in the front while 98-99 were normal rotor design.

 

No such thing as a 96 CL, only 97-99.

The 97's have the following differences:

Hub over rotor brake design.
Grille is different
No immobilizer
Slightly different interior ("simpler"), also had other colors I believe
Gauge cluster has a different font/white needles instead of red
F22 engine instead of F23
3.0 transmission is different
I also believe that there was some difference in the ignition and the EGR system, which is why only the 97's were recalled.

Each model featured different wheels. Headlights and taillights are identical. 98-99 are virtually identical. That's all I can think of off hand.

 

no such thing as 96, but 97 has black sideskirts compared to colored ones on 98-99.

 

is the 97 is obd2a or obd2b?

 

iirc its obd2b, but im only 80% sure it is.

 

98-99 has a different interior, 2.3 instead of 2.2, painted lips, and a different grille.

 

you're like 30mins late to the party.

 

its obd2a, 98-99 is obd2b. I remembered from my harness i had to buy.

 

97 3.0 premium has heated mirrors too.

 

heated mirrors? you sit on them?

 

fashionably late i suppose

98/99>97

 

almost everything has been covered
-immobilizer in 98+
-hub over rotor on 97 fronts
-grill
-painted skirts on 98+
-different console and more woodgrain in 98+
-standard leather in 99
-steering wheel volume controls on 98+
-gauge colours

the brakes are the only thing that bothered me, almost every 98+ owner wants the 97 grill and it's rare. so be happy. everything you can retrofit or paint.

 

you can't be that retarded. ever heard of ice and snow?

 

yeah i got a '97 2.2 premium and it's got heated mirrors too, i guess it's safe to say they come on all models.
oh and 97's do not come with heated seats i believe

 

wat

 

i has heated seats too.

 

he's 17 and retarded, he has enough problems, don't make him explain his stupidity.

 

97 3.0's come with heted seats

 

^ah, i thought that might have been the case, but didn't know forsure
damn, so my model is the only one that doesn't have em, and i have the coldest weather here, this is

isn't there color difference between the years aswell?

 

sure sure

 

lol, where about's are you in canada?

 

Winnipeg, but the cl is from somewhere in Ontario and was put on a train to bring it here.... I want to say it was missisauga but i can't remember...

anyone know the color lists for the years, i'm pretty sure there have been little changes over the years or models

just researched a little, and apparently the 99's had a trunk cargo net anyone here have one of those in their cl?

 

yes, the colours changed between 97 and 98/99.
fucked if i remember.

oh and yes, all come with heated mirrors. my cloth 97 base did.

 

I don't think my '97 Premium has heated mirrors. I thought it was some sort of "winter package" that was only available on the 3.0's. Where was the button to turn them on?

*edit* Maybe the Canadian models had it on the 2.2's.

 

really? only the 99s? i has the cargo net.

 

the button is with the mirror controls.

guess it's a canadian thing.

 

^I gots it too. 3.0 pr.

 

definetly no switch for heated mirrors here..

 

well i thought heated mirrors were a joke. ive honestly never heard of them... in the bay area, we dont get ice or snow here, so no one i know uses them (if they have them).

 

Yeah, same here. I was browsing through my owners manual when I first got my car and saw "Heated Mirrors". I was like, "dang, this thing really is a luxury sedan!" Even though I never use it... Haha.

 

it's actually kinda neat, the switch is tied into the climate control and only comes on when it's cold enough outside. i thought it was broken at first but eventually it got cold out and the switch lit up.

 

^Wait, what? Mine is one the mirror adjusment controll panel on the door...

edit: Ahh, nvm, I see what you mean.

 

The colors have been posted on here many times. I have been trying to sell a brand new cargo net for like 2 years

Nope, only canadian things I know of with the CL are the engine block heaters and the DRL's. My car has heated mirrors and that button, tried real quick to find a pic of my door but only one i found wasn't very clear

Took me a while to figure that out, I was going to tap the power from this switch till I figured it out.

 

oh for sure you guys in the states have heated mirrors, just saying it seems optioned more up here.

ever notice that the vents open up when you pop the sunroof?

 

always wondered if i was crazy or not

 

lol, it's the acura difference. a 5th gen accord coupe has none of these things.

 

my 97 3.0 CL has heated mirrors and heated seats. =)

too bad my driver heated seat hasn't worked for the last 4 years. its ok, i'm not a fan of heated seats. makes me feel like i just shit myself

 

Jjst thought I'd throw it in here my 97 premium has the heated mirrors(switch is at controls). I have always wondered the diff between years. So the tranny is diff with 97 and the following years but all years are garbage correct? I do wish my side skirts we're painted(gonna take care of that).
