CL7 is the K20 JDM version with 147hp. CL7R has the type R K20A with 227hp and lsd.

With the CL9:
Sport - Looks like a CL7R without the engine etc.
Luxury - Leather seats + warmers, foglights (not sure of other differences)

CL7 no DBW? what does the quick gearbox mean? shorter gear ratios? is it possible to change the ratios on the CL9?

Tell me if I'm wrong, but doesn't ours have FD 4.38, the TSX has 4.7 and the CL7R has 4.9?

EuroR has 4.7 as well, same as TSX.

yeah TSX has 4.764... CL7R has same final drive as TSX...

Thanks for the answers!

What I mean was, from your first post do you mean the CL7 doesnt have DBW throttle and the CL9 does?

yep... CL7R is cable throttle...

just to make sure, does this mean if i purchase parts from boom plus toys, i'd be going for the TXS parts if i have an 07 euro lux? (sorry for the noob question!) is there any other sites/stores located in australia where i can buy the same parts (JDM - http://www.boomplustoys.net/jdm_tsx.shtml )? its just the grill, emblems and maybe the euro R front lip that i want to get

[MangChi]

try looking on the traders here or for sale section and yes if you are buying from american site its TSX
also try heeltoeauto.com they are from america but very reputable

[Crapdaz]

try bodyform? i think they can import for you if you want.

CL9 does not have auto headlights as previously mentioned.

I've read that the TSX (CL9) does though, :(

Yes, the Euro loses out on the auto headlights and heated side mirrors that the US and Canadian TSX has.

would cl7 springs fit in our audm cars?

[aaronng]

Yes they will.

[Lochstar_69]

are there many CL7's in Vic??

[aaronng]

None unless someone privately imported their car when they moved from Japan/UK to Australia.

[Lochstar_69]

they should bring out a Turbo Accord euro or supercharger, something we can play with :D rather then modding he he

[tenji`]

the new mugen rr cu2 accord euro is supercharged...

i dont think it would be hard to get one to fit on a cl9 if you can get your hands on one.

[tomacom]

I heard or read somewhere that Autotechnik will be stocking CT Engineering Super Charger kits soon?.....

waiting for a response from them to see if that includes the Euro?

[Sephroth]

Super Charger kits~ WOW, But that may cost a lot. So many parts need to be replaced too...
