Thanks for the video man! Makes me so happy to see someone else enjoying the wagon as much as me! Just a few more things as well, the engine and gearbox were both swapped in by me it was originally an F22 Auto

Thanks for letting me film with it!

I had a '97 US Wagon with the H22. Made the 140 kW OK but the 4 speed auto box absolutely killed the performance. It was no quicker to 100 kph than my non-VTEC '94 sedan. Pity really . . . Great to see you've done the conversion and unleashed it!

Awesome video man! Been waiting on this one ever since you came down. I'm best mates with the owner of the Accord and we are massive fans. I wanted to meet you and see if you were interested in a 1992 4th generation Prelude (which are where the Accord Wagons wheels are off of at the time). Guess I'll have to catch you next time!

Awesomw video on Accord Wagon with H22. I have 94 Homda Accord for 24 years and swap with H23A Bluetop with T2W4 in 2014. My Accord changed the timing belt, Exedy Clutch/flywheel recently and it run a real good mild power, love it. 😁

Ever since we found the wheels we have never been able to find out where they are from. It's highly likely they are based off the EP3 rims but in a 4x114.3 stud pattern instead of 5.

Yeah manual swapped in this case but you could get H22 manual accords

I don't think US Accords are as rare as might seem. For certain generations later on, the Accords built out of the US were sold in the US as Accords and sold in certain overseas markets as the Honda Inspire (4th, 5th and 6th Inspire gens were re-badged US market accords). Oddly enough the first three gens of the Inspire were rebadged (or vice-versa) as Acuras in North American markets. #themoreyouknow

Yes correct the inspire was the Japanese name for the US market accord, but they were built in Japan. This one was built in the US, for Japan. Big difference
