LOL thats Phat

 

that's the ****. i was reading a JDM car mag at RT recently with ryuujin and was drooling over all the done up Odyssey's they had over there.

 

not bad, cept those rims are horrible

 

hey, I built that Van!!! (in Alliston) lol

 

man those rims are the shiet! hahaha

it's so balla

JDM Vans are the best, I was in Japan once and I saw this van with like fiberglass angel wings sticking out! Too bad I couldn't whip my camera out in time

 

I'll bet Honda never thought they'd be building vehicles in North America for export to Japan!

 

It is actually a USDM with JDM parts!

But still, It looks great! :Thumbup:

I don't see a steering wheel on this side...but it may have been photoshopped out. It does have the JDM badge and sidemarkers...but USDM taillights.

 

Pimpin'

 

that looks sick

 

I like it, except for the rims that don't really go with the van, and the 4 exhaust tips instead of 2. Very clean.

 

The JDM odyssey is different than the USDM one but I think the JDM lagreat is the same as the USDM odyssey.

Correct me if I’m wrong.

Anyways I don’t think its rice, to clean to be rice.

 

hey that's not too bad, BC auto has a modded Odyssey as well.

they have some mean horsepower as well, its like 240 or something like that. but i wouldn't mind having one, but rims must go, not my style. but other than that, it looks good still..

 

That's phat! I've only seen a couple of souped up Previa's in Toronto, never an Odessy. But yeah, those things are quick. I've seen a bonestock (maybe a CAI) Odessy take out a stock IS300 on 2 runs in person at the good ol' races from last season, not the one just past.

 

Not too bad..

 

92Si, you're right, our Odyssey is called the LaGreat over there, they still build the old style one over there as an Odyssey, the one with the normal opening doors. Odyssey have 240hp stock!

 

I always thought that it supposed to use the same engine as Accord!

No, that is not a "K-Series" Engine. The K-Series engine is a 4-cylinder iVTEC. The Odyssey (US) engine is from the last 60 degree V-6 family, which is NOT iVTEC. The basic engine can be found in the old (98-02) Accord V-6 (in 3.0 litre form), 3.2 TL/CL (in 3.2 litre form), MDX, Pilot and Odyssey (3.5 for the last 3). This engine is also available in the JDM Odyssey (smaller type...not LaGreat) which has a 3.0 litre V-6. What is interesting is that all these engines are made in the states, even for the Japan produced Odyssey. In a sense, the Japan Odyssey uses the same engines as the "old" Accord. I am not sure if the 4-cylinder version has changed to the "K-Type" motor. For some reason, I don't think so.

I like the done up "LaGreat", wheels and all. I am actually considering doing the same kind of thing here but I won't lower it as much. I am contemplating if I should use an LX or EX. The EX comes with the roof rails and I don't really want them but the power sliding doors are a neat touch. I always get "oohhs and aahhs" whenever I show them to people. I guess I will ultimately go with what I can find at a good price.

Looks better now!
