Hi
I've just bought a 1997 accord wagon, and am now even more confused as to what it is. Its a 2.2l vtec engine, with tiptronic gearbox, Bose stereo and sub as standard, and the it that threw me the most, HID headlights as standard (was planning on going to HID lights after having them on my truck, but that is no longer needed most likely). Its also the newer shape one, and the lights on the boot go all the way across (if that makes sense). If any more information is needed let me know, and I will try my best to get it, pictures still to come.

Where are you located?

None of the North American CD (94-97) Accord chassis came with HID lights or rear break lights that cross the back as standard options. Kind of sounds like you might be referring to a European Aerodeck.

 

What are the first 3 characters of the VIN? It could be British.I know someone who had a Civic 5th gen. with CVT from Britain made by "Rover".

 

You have a very rare wagon my friend. Is it AWD?

Is it right hand drive with an H23A VTEC?

 

Hi
In response to the questions, its FWD, and has on a plate on the cross member right at the front of the bonnet "CF6", which after some more searching, CF6 is the important bit of information for me (2.3L, think its the H23A engine). I'm in NZ, and the car is ex Japan, right hand drive.
Thanks for the advice, but one question regarding
"You have a very rare wagon my friend. Is it AWD?

I assume its only rare if its 4wd (and that picture is exactly what the car looks like, but with only 1 tail pipe, and the engine is a black top).

CF6 is a VTL or vi Wagon (6th gen design ques) They both came with a SOHC F23A VTEC.

Correct, it's only rare if it's a 4WD, SiR w/an H23A DOHC VTEC. However, it's the exact same chassis.

 

Ah sweet, thanks for that. Will be noting this information down, for parts etc.
