hi, ive just brought a 2001 1.8 vtech 4 door accord, can someone tell me the generation and model number so i can start using this site properly please

 

What country are you in?

- If you're in the US, you do not have a 1.8L Accord. A 2001 Accord in the US is 2.3L.
- It's not 'vtech' it is 'vtec'. It stands for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control.
- The 'model number' that people use is from the VIN, 4-6 characters give you the values. Example is 1HGCD5xxxxxxxxxxxx. CD5 is the designator for a 94-97 USDM Honda Accord Sedan.
- The 'generation' I would assume would be similar to the US which is 6th generation, but I'm unsure how it translates to other counties.

 

Gen 6, Chassis code is 4th 5th and 6th digits of vin. And btw its either a 2.3 or 3.0 no 1.8l.

 

That's why I asked what country he's in - Austrailia, Europe, etc have different model cars. If he does have a 1.8 then he is not in the US.

 

Your too fast 4 me muffin lol. Ya I didnt know the 6th gens came with a 1.8 sounds a tad under powered for that chassis.

I was just gonna say that the OP's car's gotta be a UKDM to have a 1.8L engine in a CG8 Accord.

 

Im in England, it is the 1850cc vtec, i thought it was going to be really underpowered but it is actually very good to drive. Although i will be fitting a different engine in the future, preferably a 2.2 type r lump, but im new to the honda scene so need to figure out what will fit and what i need...

Ive already been told that i should use the b18c gearbox with an adaptor plate as they are a better gearbox
