1st Honda Accord Wagon in the states!

Yeppp. Here it is!!!


1st- Id like to thank everyone who has been following me through all my builds and always supports what i do. I do this for me, but i like to see how i motivate people to do work. With the right mindset and some good friends anything is possible.

Shout out to every1 who has been there from day 1, n shout out to everyone that has been there since we met!


Its an 05 Honda Accord Wagon. Its technically an accord since in japan they do not offer acura. Our accord is an "Inspire" over there.


It comes with a 2.4L and its AWD. Puts out 217Hp and 258 tq.


No more talking here are the pics:
Here she is bone stock








And here she is with wheels n a drop when i took her to nashville, tn for import alliance last weekend.






*Mod Edit* Please use the Black Market for FS and WTB threads.

Future plans are going to be crazyy. Just to throw a few brands out there:
Air Runner
Wald
Brides
CCW/JLines
Spoon

Im sure some might remember my old car that i posted on here.

94' Civic with a TL-S 6sp swap

I saw that civic at HIN in Dirty Jersey last year or at least i think it was that civic minus the J series swap if that was it, it looked real clean. Looks like you have big plans for that accord wagon you wanted something that no one has huh. Well Congrats on your new wagon can't wait to see it modded.

Cool!!

On a side note, it's weird to see that dash...clearly the same as the domestic Accord from that era, while the TSX had it's own special interior.

Now the 2G TSX has the same dash as the euro Accord...no differentiation.

Thank you. I hope you turn that car into a work of art. Just looks so odd.....maybe just not use to tsx wagons. It reminds me of the EVO 8 wagon. A good chassis turned strange.

Nice sled, too bad it has the 160hp K24. Not sure where you got 220hp but unless you've done some SERIOUS modifications I'd like to see a dyno for proof. Here's your wagons specs (4WD CM3 chassis).
Here's mine -
2002/3 5spd Triptronic - 24T "Sports Package" - JDM Import
K24A2 "Red Top" Engine
- Displacement: 2,354 cc (143.6 cu in)
- Power: 200 PS (150 kW; 200 HP) @ 6800 rpm
- Torque: 232 N·m (171 lb·ft) @ 4500 rpm
- Bore: 87 mm
- Stroke: 99 mm
- Redline: Sequential Sportshift 7300 rpm
Factory Sports Package Body Kit
Factory Sports Package Spoiler
Factory Sports Package 17" Mags
Factory Sports Package Partial Leather
Factory Sports Package Mesh Grille
Factory Sports Package Red Cockpit and Upper Dashboard Display
Factory Optional Sunroof
Factory Optional "VSA" Traction Control
Factory Premium Sound System - 7" Touch screen with JDM TV & AirCon Controls, components in front and rear, and subwoofer

Some of the latest mods -
Azect SoftLow CM2 Springs (25-40mm/1-1 1/2" drop)
2700K Xenon 100W H11 Foglights
LED parking lights
LED plate lights
LED interior lights
Accord Euro Badge












And to anyone that is interested in purchasing a vehicle (of any kind) from Japan I recommend IBC Japan, who will purchase a vehicle at auction and transport anywhere in the world. www.ibcjapan.co.jp They arranged my vehicle the entire way and all I had to do was get compliance when it landed.
