Well done mate, if there's something I learned is that hoarding is no fun but it's also important to pick a buyer who will cherish it the way you. 👊 all things come to pass.
Yeah man the guy who's got it is a good lad I'm sure he'll look after it and enjoy it
End of an era part 2. Keen to see what's next after this if it even exists, your content will never get boring to watch man!
Thanks man! Some good stuff on the way
Thank you for another pricing video, was a joy to watch this series. I definitely need new sway links and other miscellaneous creaks under the suspension I’m trying to track down lol.
Yeah it makes a difference for sure
Money well spent mate, and a great series!
Looking forward to the next mystery machine!
In the coming weeks you all shall see!
Happy to see my old Euro R has been saved. Its got some genuine volk rays evolution 4 mesh wheels 18x8 18x9 with brandnew tyres when i sold it like 4 years ago. Its a mint car back then until i sold it to a guy in Wellington. And its gone after that. Good to see it now.
Yeah it got absolutely wrecked down here sadly but it’s back in business now
Great ep. Your videos make me want to touch up the paint on my 2012 legacy GT!
Worth it man!
I feel you for the AC compressor. The one on my MK5 GTI went in December ( just as I go on break and it gets to 25+c lol ) only got it replaced and regased about 2 weeks ago. Cost me $800 which in grand scheme is not too bad but stung ( got a OEM AC from FCP )
Also the Pearl Harbour joke was pretty good NGL
Oh dear hahah
Thank you for posting all of these Accord Euro videos. After watching most (if not all) of them, I've decided to get myself a nice base spec 2003 Accord Euro with 100k on the clock in Arctic Blue Metallic. Can't wait to experience the K20 and the five speed box those base models came with. Cheers!
@@jugostran marvellous! Enjoy the new car
@@KiwiCarLife Thanks!
thank u for sharing ❣️ really informative CL7 project
All good man!
Hey Liam, i really enjoyed your type S and euro R videos. i have an acura tsx with relativity the same mods and it is by far the most fun ive had in cars. im 37 had a few lexus is300 and 250 vw jettas, civics Ek,EM, other accords and even a legend.... these k-series cl7/9s are a real bag of fun. and im glad to see you enjoyed both of them as well.
the best parts of this series is when they gap the bmw 328/330 :)
Haha yeah that surprised a lot of people! A lot were sure the 330ci would win. And yep, great cars
Cl9 just with reflash is already faster than 330i hahahaha. But you need to open motor to reach M3 level
Cool series! Recently found your videos and I like them! I just picked up one of these, a blue CL7 Euro R - it’s lots of fun.
Are the wheels you put on just factory CL7 wheels? The simple styling looks great!
Thanks man and yeah factory cl7 wheels
Had to do a bunch of these same things to my 04 TSX that was abandoned for years in a parking lot.
Oh wow that’s cool!
Guy went back with the stock exhaust, a man of quiet car culture until we want to make noise😎👌🏾
Yes
Hi mate. Loving your videos. They're actually quite inspirational and have motivated me to try and follow suit with an Accord rebuild.
Just one question and maybe a dumb one but is 190 - 200k's a no no? I don't have a big budget so obviously want to buy the car relatively cheap and put most of my money into the rebuild. Cheers.
This one had done 220,000km and I bought it back to life. Good thing with Hondas is even at those k’s the engine will still be fine. It’ll just be the bushes, accessories, gearbox, driveshafts etc. that are a bit tired
It looks so good damn good, I'm in love. Dream Car for me 😊
Mmm yes me too
Love the content bro, btw where did you get the headlights and the wheels?
Headlights were out on the car when it was brand new in 2006 and have never been removed. Wheels I bought off fb marketplace
I watched this last night then this morning, I saw the car while driving in East Auckland. It was the car infront of me, what a coincidence!
Haha yep she’s in aucks now
Hi you test and compare the euro r accords, just wonder if you will be testing the type r accord and maybe comparing it the other accords such as the euro r type s
Yeah I’ve done heaps of comparisons search them up!
@@KiwiCarLife I did search but couldn't find vid on accord type r ch1, can u give me idea when u did viv as went pretty far back but could only find vid on accord euro r cl1 which I know is a JDM spec accord type r but there are still differences to the looks and stuff.
great video man, keep these up.
Thanks
Who did you use to repaint your bumpers as im also needing my bumpers done
Wellington Panel and Paint. There's better places tho they just do a quick cheap job
If cl7r have steering wheel from ep3, it means it doesn't have cruise control like your previous cl9?
Yeah man no cruise
Until you fimd a way to put those sits clean you're not done yet.
Not gonna question the drive experience or any other work you done with it thou.
Looks great
I do prefer the behind of the previous (CL9 modulo) body kit thou
Fair
What's your thoughts on 2017 Honda Civic RS Turbo Sedan?
Very good cars
bro thats a steal for that price, accord euros in Australia is like 20k plus
Yeah nz is a lot cheaper
can you give me a listing of the parts needed to convert my rhd jdm 2007 honda type-s from auto to standard transmission
Goodness me uhh nope I got no idea there’ll be heaps you’ll need man
damn that all added up
Yep
CL1 project next?? or MPS would be fire
Ehh
glad i can do most if not all this work myself
sheessh
Good on ya
Would of been cheaper to turbo a KB1 legend 😂, would be a great car for your NZ roads too 🎉
I still know what I'd rather have!
I have a question, How did you get the video of the car doing burnouts 😉
The previous owner sent them to me lol
@@KiwiCarLife lol
Hey Kiwi hope all is well brother.. I wanted to ask where did you get the Euro R badge and Euro R bumpers from? Thank you man
Bumpers came with the car. Badge was direct from Honda
@@KiwiCarLife thank you brother 💪 last question… do you know of anyone that can do a reflash from across the world? If I’m correct it’s a thing where they connect to the ECU via laptop and do their magic
@@chrish2742 what country are you in?
@@KiwiCarLife I’m in the Caribbean… Grand Cayman… it’s a small island
what size are the euro r tires?
225/45R17
What model of driveshafts did you use ? Was it OEM refurbished, new, or what ? :(
Refurbished oem
@@KiwiCarLife Thanks !!!
How many ks were on the clock?
228,000km
How much did you sell it for? Do a k-swap civic project car or something honda vtec. ❤️
Nah don’t want anything too old
It comes to 12k as I could see, worth the price , I mean it's Accord R, future classic for sure
Yeah definitely worth it
Great car. End of an era. Bring on the Subie!
Shouldn't be far away!
Wow i need that spoiler for my euroR, where did you buy it
It’s just a stock accord spoiler. Got from a wrecker
@@KiwiCarLife It is rare and difficult to find in Spain and definitely more expensive than yours, thanks for answer
where do you buy repossesed cars?
Well this one I happened to get lucky that I knew someone at MTF but normally they just get auctioned
My daily driven Euro R averages around 12.5km/l (8l/100k) are you using all the revs all the time or something?
Probably more this car is just thrashed
Are you doing predominantly open road miles because 8L/100kms is pretty good for true vtec honda?
@@christopherjohnston6343 Not particularly, I drive a little in 80kmph area which includes a smallish hill, then a bunch in 50kmph (and the return trip) with maybe one trip a week that involves motorway (SH2 + SH58)
The best I've ever had was 6.8L/100kl (a true one off, but have had several other's close)
how much did you sell it for?
11 grand
From all the videos I have always felt that you liked euro r more than isf . Do you?
Ehh, they're totally different so hard to compare
@@KiwiCarLife btw you are by far my favorite car gay on UA-cam. ♥️🇮🇷
i loved you having a accord like this to compare against other mid range cars, will be sad to see it go!
Replacement is similar!
Prelude or Integra from the 94s model next would just be insane, just love those cars. The Euro R will be dearly missed, I'm sure the new owner will have a blast!
Would be cool, I'm not a huge fan of the old Hondas tho
@@KiwiCarLife Fair enough.
£7000 all in, that’s pretty good going
Yeah I guess so
Did you get a good price for it?
11k
@@KiwiCarLife you revive the car, enjoyed it, made content, have fun and even refound the money 🤑 awesome mate!!
@@KiwiCarLife That's a good price for the buyer
wheres the honda post at bro!
As in recent videos?
@@KiwiCarLife yes?
@@ayh599 nah I’ve moved on from Hondas man
Twice what you thought, then x 3?
Yes
Rebuild a older honda like a integra or EF civic or crx 🙌
Ehh too old imo. I like the newer stuff
@@KiwiCarLife I understand 👍
@@KiwiCarLife maybe a engine swap in a Fit/Jazz
$600 for end links what! 😂 Damn $135 for 50L fuel how much is premium in NZ??
Yeah that was the one mistake I made lol. And yep about $2.60 for 95
_Great project and well spent money👌🏼….I heard the sale price was $14001.00😜_
Haha nah got 11k for it which was still pretty decent
@@KiwiCarLife how many kms on it ?
@@jakedamass 228km
pearl harbor joke was wild
HAHAHAHAH
The IRD watching this video 👀
What do you mean?
Yeah what do you mean?
???
Perfect.
Thanks
Excellent video, but its still a 2006 honda that owes you 12k. Honda guys must be mad
Shows how well they hold their value! And in NZ euro r’s are cheap
Bravo.
Cheers
Wasn't Honda supose to be reliable and durable 😅
Yes, and the fact this car survived the abuse it received is a testament to Honda's build quality
Next project, Subaru Legacy 3.0r.
You know it!
No accords, no 🥝... Haha
Lol
To sum it up, $4
Yes thank you Jack
14k NZ dollars ? her where i live easily the double amount and that's a car that needs all the service 😥😥
Crazy man!
@@KiwiCarLife yup we got crazy taxes. A New Toyota Yaris gr sport. Is Around 130k of your NZ dollars 😱😱 Plus any kind of of car with a bit of performance. IS more expensive in yearly taxes and insurance.
$600 for end links but $800 for a trans rebuild.. haha
Yeah oopsie
Bargain all up.
Yeah not too bad
Я ставлю дизлайк за то, что продал этот автомобиль.
Yes
Knowwwww monicaaaa!!!
ow woda crack up
Oh yes
