i guess we have to go over this every few months:

the inspire started out as a subset of the accord. but has long since branched off into it's own.

the states never got the accord-inspire version. by the time inspire came to its own, it came to the states as the vigor.

even now, the "inspire" in japan carries the same body as the usdm 7th gen acoord. but naturally the jdm accord = tsx.

a little somethin' somethin' to add:


89 inspire


the inspire is/was our acura vigor. however, i believe they still make the inspire, so...

a simple google search will yield you things such as:

current inspire:

Inspire
Inspire is sold in Japan only as a junior executive sedan. It is basically an American Accord but has a number of enhancement:
1. The 3.0 V6 produces slightly more power in Japanese tune (250hp, 218lbft). Besides, it has cylinder cut-off function to save fuel, similar to Mercedes' V8 and V12. When the car is cruising at leisure pace, the i-VTEC mechanism of one cylinder bank disconnects the rocker arms from cam lobes thus shuts off the valves. In this way, the V6 becomes effectively an inline-3-cylinder engine. This reduce pumping loss (the energy wasted to pump air into and out of the combustion chambers) and therefore save fuel. When the engine needs power, it will be reverted to 6-cylinder mode. The transition between 3 and 6 cylinders is so smooth that the driver will not aware.

2. To deal with the engine vibration generated in the 3-cylinder mode, the Inspire employs an active engine mount to compress and extend in sync to the vibration frequency.

3. To deal with the unrefined noise in 3-cylinder mode, Honda Inspire is the first production car employing active anti-noise control invented by Lotus in the 80s. The system uses microphones in the cabin to measure the engine noise and then reproduces an out-of-phase noise from loudspeakers to cancel the engine noise.

fizzbob had one (armrest/center console) , til he sold his accord.

I sold fizzbob that armrest

It wasn't jdm though but the jdm armrest was only for 90-91 accords anyways. They won't fit a 92-93. (console is wider) 92-93's had a builtin armrest in the drivers seat.

I saw a optional armrest for 90-93 integra that looks almost the same at my local junkyard. I experimented mounting it to a 4th gen but it wasn't tall enough to go over our console + the screw mounts were a little off.
