Not all accords in japan were RHD, they sold LHD coupes there you can still find information about them on their websiteOriginally posted by sulimed View Postjdm ones are right hand drive
The OP wants to know what is different about JHM and 1HG built accords
Here are some things i have noticed
JHM clocks are made by jeco where as us clocks are made by another company ( not sure )
JHM dash vin numbers are held in much more secure then a 1hg vin
JHM gauge clusters are made by denso where as 1hg are made by NS
these are the only differences i have noticed
Also any JHM accord will have little stickers randomly throughout the car with japanese writing on it, i have a few in my accord because the interior is out of a JHM accord
all coupes and wagons are 1hg
Some random sedans are JHM and all SE sedans are JHMComment

heh the funniest thing i readOriginally posted by sulimed View Postlearn something new everyday
you would imagine the jdm LHD accord coupe to be based off of a a USDM LHD accord
The LHD accord coupes have a key in ignition reminder where as the RHD ones do not
i figured this is due to stupid americans lolComment

He's not asking about "JDM"... if you want to be a smartass, at least understand the question that is being asked before posting... otherwise, you just look like a dumbass.Originally posted by crazymikey View PostJDM has purple shit.

Like your sig?Originally posted by crazymikey View PostJDM has purple shit.
Anyways.
To the OP, there's quite a few differences between the Jap and US models and Euro models as well.
Japanese models got allot back in the day but it's hard to know what they came with to be exact. There's a bit of different styling cues as well on these car's.
But I'd suggest really searching if you want answers. We don't have a cataloged list of options though.Henry R

HE IS NOT ASKING ABOUT THE JAPANESE OR EURO MODELS! HE IS ASKING ABOUT THE CARS WITH THE JHM OR 1HG VIN!!!
Does anyone read anymore? Holy shit...
Tippey seems to be the only one that actually understood the question, and answered it as thoroughly as anyone can, I'm sure. Everyone else clearly didn't read the entire thread before posting, or they'd know what was going on. I really don't want to lock this, because it's a valid question (however vaguely asked it may be...)

Apparently RHD coupes were made in USA, as were wagons. They all display HOA emblems on Japanese models.
I think Tippey's got most of the info down on the build differences, but there's many variants in options and stuff that were available in different countries.
Getting into the UK built Accords in Swindon are almost another beast themselves with the EDM market.
JDM, NA and EDM model all have different headlights and trunk licence plate garnishes. EDM trunks have specific plate garnishes and inner tail lights.
EDM's were also available with 4WS. I think...if I remember correctly from the Top gear video I just watched, that all UK spec Accords were 2.0 engines.
I'm going to go have a look at my SE coupe and see what sort of US built things I can find on it.
...and yes, I was being stupid in my previous post.Last edited by crazymikey; 04-17-2011, 03:12 PM.Comment

You're still missing the point of the thread.
All he's asking is what's different between the North American Accords that were built in Ohio (1HG) vs the North American Accords that were build in Japan (JHM). No RHD, no one-piece headlights, no 4ws...
Just the ones that were assembled by people that speak Japanese vs the ones that were assembled by people that speak English.

He probably heard from someone that the Japanese-built ones are better than the American-built ones... because we all know, if it was assembled by yellow people, it HAS to be superior
"just in case" can confuse the hell out of someone. Cars sold in other markets have nothing to do with this question. That's like going on a cooking forum, and posting about chicken dishes in a thread asking about beef. Sure, you may be giving factual information, but it has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.
Well, perhaps it does, because out of the 8 people posting in this thread, only 3 of them are talking about the actual topic.
There are no differences in features. The only differences are very minor, as tippey pointed out... a few parts are sourced from different companies, but they all function exactly the same, and just as well. In MOST cases, those parts are 100% interchangeable.
