Honda has some strange ties with the English. Anyone here remember Sterlings? It was an English car sold in the U.S. in like the 80's and early 90's or something. Anyway, to my understanding it used alot of Honda parts....I think it even used a Honda/Acura powertrain, the 2.7 V6 from the 1st gen Legend and later in the 5th gen Accord. I could be wrong, but this is what I remember hearing. Also, all the 02 and up Civic Si's, and some of the 02 and up CR-V's are manufactured in England as well. Just a couple fun facts.

I think the Sterling was a rebadged, repaneled Legend. They do a lot of stuff w/Rover...I remember on AD there was a guy w/a 500HP turbo F2x powered Rover. I think it might have been AWD too. But Rover doesn't exist anymore so ...

When I was in England (92-93) I had a Rover 416i that looked a LOT like a Civic and ran like a banshee! It was hella fun to drive. If I remember correctly, I think it had a B16. I know it was a 1.6l (416i=4cyl 1.6l fuel injected)

It is possible that its not a honda engine at all just some other company that decided to name thier engine the f20 as well. If i remeber correctly some old ass volvos had b20 engines but they were volvo engines not honda.

[dj justice]

Well i did a google search and it looks as if the f20z1 is the motor found in some 93-> prelude 2.0 16v. http://www.japanmoottorituonti.fi/?view=moottorit&id=53

thats because it was a civic.When i visited my family in greece, i found out that my uncles rover was actually a civic.i even have proof of an old greek car mag from 1991 stating that in fact the rover was just a repaneled civic.i thought it was interesting.
