Always liked the look of these accords. One of the best-looking sedans ever out of Japan and the long wheel base + double wishbones give them great character and stability. Well-built cars.
Crazy fast lap, love how the owner of the car didn't even blink for the whole lap, he looked like he was trying to pick up all the data he could to learn how to drive the car faster, he had a really good teacher for this lap ;D
@@PBRatLord Yea its just like the other guy said, if the speedo limit is at 220 or smthn then the tacho and speedo wont match up at 4th gear because the needle will move less.
Same here. Theres a black one with red accents on the wheels/tires and it looks f*cking dope I love that thing. The color along with the wheel combination has it sitting absolutely perfect.
@@EsKah83 Just a fun anecdote. A friend of mine bought a Civic Type R (gen 7) years ago, and the guy selling it paniced when my friend revved it to 8k while testing, thinking he was breaking the car. Turns out the guy was selling the CTR as he thought it was slow, and he had never been over 4-5k rpm 😂 After then reluctantly selling it he proceeded to buy another one, haha Also, intake before exhaust 😎 Listen how amazing the Accord sounds with the dB-killers in!
These cars have so much soul. Fantastic manual trans. Reliable, easy to maintain and fix. Love these Honda Accords passing BMWs and porches on the ring ❤
I love love LOVE the CL shaped Accords, Used to own a 2003 CL7 ("economy" K20) one of THE most reliable car I've ever owned, it was just a solid built car, the interior never rattled even after 200K+ miles, only reason I had to get rid was because of rust and uneconomical to repair so had to reluctantly let it go to car heaven. Few cars later I am now driving a 2009 CU2 Accord with the K24, which with over 100k miles its proven equally as reliable as my old CL, I will say the interior is not as well built as the old car and a bit too much going on with the buttons all over the place, but its a great car and the K24 is fantastic to rev out. I've always lusted over a Euro R, DC5 performance in a beautiful sleek and practical saloon body.
I’ve experienced the same issue with the interiors. My 2008 Tsx has minimal wear inside, minus the drivers seat left bolster. My close friend has a 2009 Tsx and his armrest leather cover is basically gone along with the leather on his door panels are falling apart. We are both at 190K-195K Strange that Honda went with cheap leather on the 2nd gens. I’ve seen this on other higher mileage 2nd gens as well.
@@pawejaruga9163 The V6 was in the 2nd generation TSX, which is a larger car (and the styling went to heck). Also, the V6 in a TSX was only available with an automatic transmission, so probably not desirable on the Nurburgring.

Very nice and what a nice sound! Some of those shifts had my mechanical sympathy alarm going off lol. But it's a Honda, it can take it! Plus we got to see an old Prelude!
It goes unsaid Misha but I love how you always try to make it a point of doing a 1st gear roll everytime you get on the ring! Love it, please dont stop doing that. Makes the entrance to the track that much more exciting.
I was thinking "this car sounds so great and revs so good, but accelerates so slowly", the I realised the speedo is Miles, not Km/u. -I'm an idiot ... Beautiful car tho.

It was joyous to watch it rev its heart out. especially between 7:34 and 7:46 where it just stayed in the red during the up hill section, and the owner nervously looks at dials 😂 But I have to ask what is it with cars that are set up in a way the tyre rubs during cornering and dip compressions 🤷♂️
@@davidcurry4433Mischa knows that going up a gear will only slow it down as the car doesn’t have enough torque in the uphill section…..but I feel the owners pain 😂
these cars are nigh on impossible to blow up unless you add boost or skip a ton of maintenance. only problems you will see is that k series eat through oil extremely fast when you drive them hard.
To avoid confusion this is a Euro-R which is a very odd spec. The speedo is a km/h one which has been converted to mph and had the "K" deleted which is why it looks a little off to the right. 180km/h is also the original limiter speed for them but of course they can go way more. Worth looking into if you want to get nerdy about old Hondas because it has some unusual parts and is actually quite a nice spec.
Ух ты, эт ж "еврей", да ещё и не совсем стоковый. Ооочень интересно будет посмотреть)) 7-е поколение - одно из самых красивых поколений аккорд, как по мне)
The Euro R is a 6-speed manual, 7:34 did Misha vtec all the way in 4th gear? lol. I did a little calculation, that seems to be 4th gear. 5th gear top speed is around 143mph and 6th gear is about 179mph.
I have this issue with my tsx when running 245-45-17s. On a 8.5”wide Went away when I went down to a 235 for street tires. Only going to run 245s on the track wheels now. The rubbing was annoying on daily drives. Even with the fenders rolled.
Car is nice looking and sounds cool. But why do people talk about vtec like it’s a big turbo or pro charger or nO2 ? I’d like to be educated I thought it was the same difference as the variable valve timing that Nissan Toyota VW and Audi and mostly all manufacturers do ?
you know, i think we take for granted the level of videos we get to watch today. we are watching this dude RIP THE F*** out of this honda on this legendary track in high definition. and he is sooooo good at driving... Sometime in the future everythings gonna be generated probably and you'll have to go out of your way to find original stuff like this.
One of my dream car, big symbol. I have the diesel version for daily with 270k on dash and remap and I still travel Europe with my family. When you see the price you can get one that's mad.
I was looking at the dash and thinking this car isn't that fast. Then I looked closer and saw it's miles per hour. It's an absolute weapon.
Steering wheel from another side)
I did the same thing and realized it isn’t very fast. Nice noises though. I would rather have a GTi.
Miss my euro 😞
私もそう思った。180までのスピードメーターで右ハンドル車、日本仕様車かと思っていたが余りにも遅いので確認したらマイル表示でした。それにしてもホンダのエンジンはよく回るし、前を速い車が走っている時のミーシャの豹変ぶりも魅力的ですね。
Right I’ve never seen a euro r in miles I’ve only seen the jdms with the old f series I’ve seen euro spec ep3 mugen that had miles
20 years old car, still looking amazing🎉
Она не только выглядит потрясающе, но и едет так же - потрясающе. Особенно если вспомнить, что под капотом двухлитровый атмосферный двигатель.

Lmao right. He had his "screen record" activated in his brain trying to pick up everything like you mentioned 😂
Or he's just a psychopath

I love how both RPM and speed needles goes up together in 4th gear❤
4th is basically 1:1 with 5th and 6th over. Combined with the gauge orientation it does make for a very satisfying 4th gear!
@@PBRatLord4th gear being 1:1 has nothing to do with that, it's pure coincidence. There is still 4,xx:1 final drive after the gears.

Great to see them still around.

That's my dream car, I had a 2.2 diesel and it was so reliable. These are Euro Rs are as rare as Hens teeth.
Such an Underrated, slept on car this gen Accord.
Soooo underrated.
Who doesn't want an accord type r?
Gotta love that Honda noise. Expert drive once again. I just subscribed.
Two words together, k20 and Misha means watch..
Automatic watch . Id be surprised if they haven’t noticed 😊
I watch him more than I watch my wife
bregenzer party
@@nigelboom3943because he goes smoother:)
h22a1 is the same
Owner: Suspension settings are tight enough, will not rub.
Misha: Screechtttt, Rubbbb, RRrrrrruubb!! "must hear Vtec noises".
I was gonna say the same thing that was bottoming out everywhere 😮
It's hard for me to watch videos where there's so much rubbing. Hurts my teeth to hear lol
Grrry grrry grrry grrry XD
Needs to roll the guards for more clearance...
That speedo is in mph, guys.
Thanks I was trying to figure that out😂
@@jacobweibel You can look at it as both a declarative statement and an exclamatory statement. I should've put an exclamation mark at the end.
This kph or mph ?
@@chamikamihiraj1111 It says "m/h," which is another way of displaying mph, so it's mph.

I agree. Have the cn1 since 115kkm, now 270kkm, remapped 150kkm ago and stick turbo, no consumption at all. 1st car I kept that long.

Yeah 7th gen definitely has a better looking interior than 8th gen. But both are great cars nonetheless
4:50 - 5:03 !!! That shift from 4th to 5th and clocking 140mph made the hairs on my arm stand!!
Was brilliant to watch. And the bark of that engine at gear changes. Awesome driving too!!
In Canada and in the U.S.A this car is called the Acura TSX. I use to own one for about 13 years. Very capable vehicle, with isn't 2.4 l
There were even 3.5 series J

7:40 "Are you going to shift?" 😂
As someone that owned a PY 2001 ITR at one point, it's nice to see what these old(er) R models can still do with some fairly basic mods. Loved it.
I just checked and you did 7s faster than me in our Mazda 6 MPS from Karussell to Kleines Karussell. This is good. Really good for an Accord
Wicked , hitting over 140mph in places. Great drive
9:53 In Misha's head: "Act normal, no one will notice..." 😁😁
haha, yes, JDM cars have inverted stalks.
That engine sound man!!!! That's just heaven!!!
Yes! Misha Honda Vteck thats all w need today

Fun fact:
CL7/CL9 is actually a good chassis.
too heavy

@@brincazzelli1611 Double wishbone in the front and multilink rear. You can always remove the weight. Even Spoon chose that over EP3/DC5.

amen cant go wrong no matter what engine you choose either. my 07 3.0L has 270k on it
Euro R is such a nice car for daily drive
sometimes u want to go a little fast, she can do as well
Car looks great, not overdone.
And the sound and performance are really nice.
Love these Accords. They look really good and sound great too
That cant be a 2nd video with zero yellows what a treat
Amazing right!
well balanced car lol I almost fall in sleep since engine rev sound is so cozy
Love to see a Prelude honda at the beginning of the ride.
To me this was basically the perfect car.
Honda The power of dreams !!! 😜👍🇦🇺
Yep!)
The Honda Accord Euro Type-S is in my top 5 for all-time Honda’s but the Euro R is not talked about much
This is quite a bit faster than a type s the type s has more low end grunt
The car with a K24 bottom end and full bolt ons will be even more of a weapon.
240kmh down the hill thats really good, so its going quicker than you think, shes making pretty light work of it
It goes unsaid Misha but I love how you always try to make it a point of doing a 1st gear roll everytime you get on the ring! Love it, please dont stop doing that. Makes the entrance to the track that much more exciting.
Love how chill the owner is with Misha driving his car👌🏼
Love me a Euro R, but that Green M3 wagon at the end looked soooo good!!
At 7:40 his eyes are saying "SHIFT MISHAaaa"
One of the best looking Hondas out there
9:53 indicator on the right in a JDM/RHD car Misha 😎
9:45 is clearly my favorite part!
Wie bissig dieser BMW da angestochen kommt und wie der zieht. ALTER!
Finde es beeindruckend wie gut sich ein 20 Jahre alter Honda gegen so einen vermutlich eher neuen und hochmotorisierten BMW schlägt
Despite all that rubbing good corner speeds :) Great to see a CL7 (Euro R 2.0) with rear sway and camber given the Misha drive.
