Hey whats up ? Ive been on HT for years but made a new account since i moved to Japan. I got a Euro R Accord here. Japan got all the cool Hondas haha.

 

Man you're so lucky! lol Did you get to meet any honda ppl there?

 

Yeah cars and parts are cheap here haha. Do you know M&M Honda? I met the owners.

 

Yeah thats what I hear, I wish I lived there sometimes, especially since their scene is much different than the US'
I just checked out M&M Honda's facebook. . . awesome!!!

 

Yeah ive been here for almost 2 years now. I teach english in the city. Its a place everyone should try to visit ! Yeah M&M has a lot of cars they build.

 

Dang Accord Euro R not bad. Is it expensive to maintain?

 

Thanks, no not at all．

 

New pic with the DSLR

 

The plate says 習志野 Narashino, so that car is registered (at least) in Chiba? Cool, I used to live there. Then I moved to Sendai.

 

From my browsing of used cars in Japan I think the Accord Euro R's are some of the best deals out there. Not that they go for rock bottom prices or anything but considering that they are pretty much the newest Type-R Honda from Honda's "golden era" (according to most U.S. enthusiast) I feel it is a lot of car for the money. Bone stock completely unmolested cars in almost"brand new" condition (less than 30,000mi) go for around $10,000. That's roughly what a 4-5 year older DC2R Type-R will run you in the same condition with less features and a more "tin can" chassis in terms of safety. Obviously if you are a looking for the purest track performance based Type-R experience the DC2R is superior but ignoring my bias for the Integra Type-R the Accord is a better all around value for a street car IMO.

 

Welcome!

Nice car. MFs look great on there.

 

Yeah its chiba , what did you do here?

 

@Active - yeah i got a pretty amazing deal on the car, i got it with about 65,000 miles and they thought that was high mileage haha. The car is near perfect condition. I was looking at DC5s ,DC2s , DB8s , EK9s , and CL7s but i couldnt find one in the condition i wanted for the price.

@Blazed -thanks i was looking for these here for awhile and finally found a set .

 

Same as you, teach English. Did that for one year then I started graduate school. Still in grad school but I should finish next year.

 

Oh I see. Did you like it in Japan? Did you have a car while you were here?

 

I am still in Japan haha. I didn't have a car then but I do now. I have a Nissan March (I am sure you know that car since it is probably the most ubiquitous Nissan out there). Not a performance vehicle per se but small compact and much easier to park than my GF's huge Accord wagon hahaha.

 

Oh ok cool haha , thought you werent here anymore. Yeah i see those everywhere.

 

So Active youre in Japan? You have a car ? Know anywhere to get used parts besides Yahoo auctions and UP Garage? haha
