about two weeks ago i was in Portsmouth, England and the first thing i saw was a green Accord Type-V.

on the side of it, was a badge reading H23 and then VTEC on the back!

i was under the impression that the only cars with that engine were the Euro R accord and the JDM Accord SIR wagon.

so is it the same engine or any differences?

googling it doesnt come up with too much, just one with about 31,000 k on it still costs 12,000 pounds! ($21,840 USD)

hell, anyone here have one?

two sites found so far with a tad bit of info.
Yahoo cars - 2002 ACCORD 2.3 VTEC TYPE-V SS SAT/NAV

European cars - Honda Accord Type-V

another place on yahoo said 152 BHP. seems pretty weak to me.

Never heard of it but it does seem weak.

 

the only h23a vtecs i knew of were jdm 6th gen sir wagons...it would not surprise me to see em used in europe as well though.
the euro r and type-s are both h22a's btw

 

so... would that car be 'rice' or 'tea'? cant say ive seen any euro rice.
