Also, UA1 was the 2.0L (G20A) inline-5 that wasn't sold in the US, but is rather common in Japan.

I'll see if I can't spot one on the street. Unfortunately my girl's nephew just broke my laptop and I'm posting from my PSP.

UA is simply the chassis code Honda assigned.

UA1 = 2.0 Inline 5 (not offered as an Acura)
UA2 = 2.5 TL (1996 - 1998)
UA3 = 3.2 TL (1996 - 1998)
UA4 = J25 motor V6 offered in Japan and a few other countries, it was basically a 99 - 03 Acura TL with a smaller motor
UA5 = 3.2 TL (1999 - 2003)
UA6 = TL (2004 - 2008)
UA7 = TL-S (2007 - 2008)

I've found this japanese car selling site a few months ago. You can sort them by year or chassis or etc, and theres literally hundreds of them. Useful to see some pictures.

Here's UA1s from this site, the exterior looks pretty much the same! Would love to see an engine bay photo tho.

Here's someone's UA1 from their profile:



It's identical to the USDM UA2s (4-lug, etc.).

~Cheers~
