Japanese Accord Aerodecks

Post by jjmartin349571 » Tue Jul 24, 2012 7:28 pm

Hi guys,

So the Toyota Hilux was sold to someone who offered £100 more than the listing :evil:

However I've found a JDM 96/97 Accord Aerodeck for sale nearby. I don't think it's an SiR, which leaves me wondering what other trims were available over there? I can't find much on google so I'm hoping someone on here knows something :D It looks pretty slick at any rate!

Cheers,
Josh

This will be 100x (if not more!) cooler than the Hilux 8-) :lol:

Here's the listing http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewit ... cmd=VIDESC

Looks pretty nice, although it's had the stereo and whatever else was in the centre console pulled out which is a bit annoying :evil:

Likely the 2.2 non vtec (F22) engine I'd think. Assuming twin cam (which it should be) you're looking at ~150bhp and a 4 speed autobox (which should be pretty indestructible if it's had the fluid changes needed).

Double din dash hole? That's just an excuse to fit something with a hoooge screen :lol:

Yeah I wasn't sure if it would be twin or single cam - all the UK models were SOHC but I wasn't sure about the Japanese models. If it is the twin cam F22, isn't that meant to be a pretty good block for turbocharging? :twisted:

Haha I'd love a huge screen in there, but what I don't like is having to buy a car and then the added expense of a stereo. It makes me feel cheated for some reason :lol:

Guess I'm going to have to call the dealer!

Bit late. but yeah that look like a F22 non vtec. but you get the ubercool rare as anything wind defletors with it + the really cool jap climate control and the sexy running lights in the rear bumper 8-)

Shame I didn't buy it :( missed out on an epic CRX import recently too, wish I never bought the Xsara and kept the cash handy for when something exciting popped up :evil:

Xsara's are quite exciting, when they're like this:
