@@KiwiCarLife my post facelift 07 and 08 TSX’s fortunately comes with closer ratios, however the magnesium trans case with open differential are the biggest let down
it's obvious this video has had much more editing than normal and for that, I would like to commend you and say that it really is worth it for the extra higher quality
@@KiwiCarLife it's getting there. A lot of people in the states are putting the 24s in their civics/tegs. And the Frank is becoming increasingly popular. It's still a K series after all
the k24a2 & k24a3 are indeed legendary honda motors in my opinion. I mean why else would they be such a popular swap? Give em a few more years they’ll be compared to k20a/h22a/b18c/f20c
Full respect to you but I feel like you disrespect the cl1 interior and just how nice it really is. Factory momo steering wheel is super comfy to drive with, full electric windows, folding mirrors, adjustable power steering and if you are bored of the radio its easy to swap out to an aftermarket radio with all the new features. I do agree with you on it being sluggish down low though
Just waiting for one to be traded in at work and then I'll make a CL9 vs CU2 vid. Unlikely to be manual unfortunately as they only made 70 total for our country
I feel you on the driveability issue. I have a swift sport 2004 1.5vvti (Ignis shape) and a starlet glanza v and the turbo torque is so easy for the work commute while the Suzuki is more comfortable on the limit and being revved out but the starlet has much better ride quality while the Suzuki is harsh and stiff on our roads.
@@jardinboot4845 Yeah I mean it had done 210,000km. Compared with some cars it still felt very nice, but compared with my CL9 it wasn't like "outstanding". Still good tho
Seats are extremely comfortable. Drove it from Wellington to Taupo (5h drive) in one shot with no stops recently and got out with no back ache at all. I use the cruise control all the time, mainly only on the motorway though.
@@KiwiCarLife cl1 looks like it would be perfect size car for me but I still like my cl9. Just got it reflashed cuppla days ago now it has nice mid range and response is way better
Hate to say it, but there's a reason why CL9s are sought after here in the US...500hp on a stock block just by attaching a turbo to it and fuel mods. Don't sleep on your K24.
he said the an old k24..... does he not know the potential of that engine?! Its k24a2!!!! It has both intake and exhaust vvt and can make a lot of power with small upgrades
K24a3 actually, and stock for stock it's pretty uninspiring when compared with the K20A and H22. But yes, if you modify them, they have a lot of potential as I'm beginning to discover now.
The CL1 looks sooooooo nice.
Yeah brah
My fav
The subtle fender flares 😳😳
Mate, the quality of your content just keeps getting better! Unofficial Top gear NZ right here.
Cheers man, putting a heap of effort into my more recent videos so pleased to see the extra quality is being recognised!
Been going down the CL rabbit hole ever since getting a CL9. I must have watched over 50 hours of CL videos 😂 Love the CL1 exterior!
Haha nice! Yeah the CL1 is lovely
Exactly the comparison I was looking for. Thanks mate!
All good man! Glad it was helpful
Going to pick up my 2007 accord type s tomorrow 🤩
Nice! Joining the crew
My son has the cl1 euro r and it's a raw car.love the h22ar engine and how the car handles
Yeah its pretty awesome
I love my CL9 TSX here in the states. It's a CL7 transmission swap away from being close to a perfect fun/daily. Cheers!
Yeah for sure, the gear ratios definitely let it down unfortunately...

When u have driven vtecs for over 20 years u know what they are made of by owning alot of them but I like ur channel man good on you
Yeah man they’re great fun
Something about B &H that is just so visceral, sonorous. As well as the dramatic Vtec crossover...
For sure
hey man, i did all FBO and sergebo remap and im smoking bims on the freeway,

I’d be interested to see how you find a Lexus is250/350 vs your accord
If I can find one, I'll definitely do a comparison!
I like the back end of the accords with the squared of trailing edges, good for aeros and looks sharp.
Indeed
The K24 is a legendary motor! Don't sell it short haha.
True haha, not quite on the same level as the H22A and K20A though...

gotta love those older Hondas...
Yeah man
You should do a video of your cl9 vs a cm2 wagon, a type s one,
Would of happily let you use my cm2 wagon if I was same area as you..
If we get a wagon traded in at work I'll definitely make a vid!
@@KiwiCarLife try a cw2 wagon
you should try to get something with a 4age to review; specially if it's a 20 valve silvertop or blacktop. It's the Toyota H series equivalent.
Got a mate with a 4age ae82, might ask him
I love the CL1 😍😍 imagine AWD
That would be cool
Do you think you could do your manual cl9 vs a manual cu2? I would love to hear your thoughts.

Yeah I've driven both those cars and would agree
FD2 w/ the k20z3 in comparison to your CL9 would be interesting! Those two cars were on my list, i went w/ an 06 6sp Cl9. *Love my k24a2*
That's cool man, and yeah got one of those comparisons in the works!
@@KiwiCarLife looking forward to it!
Great video mate ! Cl1 looks sexy. Bro surely do a Toyota Levin BZR🥺🙌🏽
Cheers mate, if I can find one I will!
Just got the exact car as yours, but mine isn't a type s
I love it, it's a great car.
Sadly I have a auto but I want to mod it
Yeah man even with the auto they're great. Check out my modified auto vs manual video:
ruclips.net/video/HI17CW1kQaE/видео.html
How did you find the shifting between the gears between the older and newer car? Which car felt more satisfying to shift?
CL9 is definitely nicer, kept accidentally hitting 5th in the CL1 which I almost never do in any other car. Generally felt a bit vague
@@KiwiCarLife must have a flogged out box . my cl1 shift is like a rifle bolt
@@jardinboot4845 Yeah I mean it had done 210,000km. Compared with some cars it still felt very nice, but compared with my CL9 it wasn't like "outstanding". Still good tho
I’d love a break down on all versions with a comparison in preformance
Seems you've already found it
nice vid thanks
Cheers man all good!
power steering issue is really obvious on the CL1, surprised u didn't mention it
Tbh it's an issue on all hondas
How much times do you use cruise control daily and are you seats comfortable
Seats are extremely comfortable. Drove it from Wellington to Taupo (5h drive) in one shot with no stops recently and got out with no back ache at all.
I use the cruise control all the time, mainly only on the motorway though.
Euro r would smack that in a race. Power to weight ratio
Nah man we had a race and they were dead even - now mine has headers and type r ratios it wouldn't stand a chance
Cl1 is my favorite. To bad we dont have it in eu
Y’all have Honda Accord type r

Haha my mans slamming it over the ynui hill 🤣👊
Yeah brah
how reliable are the cl1s? i can only find them with 250,000km on them, is that pretty safe with these cars?
I mean it’s a Honda it’ll be reliable for the k’s but still have things that need replacing
Hi, what shift knob is on your cl9?
Standard euro r knob
Great cars
Indeed
@@KiwiCarLife please test a R18 powered Honda
@@victorwilks88 will do - got an FD civic vs CL accord coming up in the next few months
@@KiwiCarLife I can't wait bro ...thanks
Getting one soon, so any tips
Drive it and check for all the normal things, clunks, noises, leaks. If you like it then buy it!
I like both of them
Good
Hi bro what engine do you prefer ? H22 or 2zz ge?
Probably the 2zz, but the h22 is wayyy more suited to the accord chassis coz it has torque
Okay but hear me out...CL1 with a built K24A2 head/K24Z3 block?? :D
True
Your cl9 Vs the fn2, that would be cool to see
It would! Might have to see if I can tee that up sometime
@@KiwiCarLife if you do, then a drag race comparison would be my main request
Yes plz
CL1 my favorite honda body style
Yeah it's nice aye
Miss my CL1 Euro R
Very good car
Hey I'm curious what's the CL1 like to live with daily and through some nice backroads? Been looking into importing one in the next few months
Mine is pretty quick tbh a different specy haha but yeah, a k swap maybe on the cards or a absolute monster h22a with a turbo lesssgooo

Cl1 looks like skyline ???is that only me??

I feel like a lot of cars had this look in this era like the galant vr4 it was a good style slightly aggressive but a mature sedan
Please when you talking about power say horsepower
Just use google - kW is a better measurement. But in answer to your question, CL1 and CL7 is 220hp, CL9 is 190hp
Does the cl1 owner have Insta
I believe so
