this one just registered as a member, the ONLY Accord Type-R in Iceland

 

now why the HELL doesn't honda sell that here? It kinda looks like a mitsu galant and there are thousands of those on the road. What is honda thinking??? Fast Four door sedans are making a come back and honda is being left behind

 

why oh why do I live in the US?

Sweeeeeet!!!!

Here in Spain they are a bit more common. I was looking into this one to buy... but it was a bit over my budget, so got a ITR instead.

20k miles, 21k euros (at dealer different price from this ad)... about 18.5k dollars... not bad indeed. HID lights, ESP, trip computer, some nice things in this car.

Anyone has any idea how this handles/performs compared to a ITR?

Being a 4 door sedan, handling seems to be amazing, got more HP and more torque (and more weight)... having 4 doors is nice, and the interior is also nicer than the ITR. I am sure it is not as FUN as the ITR but close.

 

Nice pics, but Accords don't do it for me. They just don't look... sporty?

 

Very nice! But I like CW better.....

Not to mention they just look flat-out better than US-market Accords, regardless of the Type R goodness...

 

Look at that beauty. I get pissed everytime I see the goodness that we're prevented from obtaining

 

can someone tell me what the difference is between that Accord Type R and the EURO Accord Type R?? I see them in HK everyday..but that's not the one I saw (different body style).....there is one parked near my house...I will go take pics of it when I can and post them.

 

This is the real Euro Accord R, designed and manufactured in the UK. The Japanese version is just called Euro R, don't know why......

 

are u in the states??

these are pics of the JDM Honda Euro Type-R






it´s a totally different car but it has the same 2.2 dohc vtec engine.... I think the body type in Europe is also sold in japan but under which name I´m not sure

They also have the Torneo Euro-R but that´s even more far away from the European Accord then the Honda Euro-R

that's the bodystyle I see everyday...thanx....
I am in Hong Kong now...
about the Torneo Euro-R ...so that is different then the JDM Euro R????

cuz what I see here is the Torneo only came in SiR or something like that and has the same body style as the JDM Euro R...I could be wrong.......I will try to lok at the cars these few days when I get out of the house...

 

ok...I just did some research,...the Toreno Euro R and the Accord Euro R seems to be the same car with minor head lights and grills differences from the Honda Japan site...they even used the same pic for the 2 cars..(shot from the rear)
same engine specs.....just think it is weird that Honda Japan would market 2 cars with tiny differences...

so now....there are 3 types of accord type R..
Accord Type R
JDM Accord Euro R
JDM Torneo Euro R

finally...I understand now...

thanx

 

HK.. mmmmm.. JDM please shoot those pics, most of us are JDM freaks

 

And why does Honda think they can't sell that in the US?

 

That car is so fuggin clean... I love it... Is it me or does the front end resemble a 98-01 Acura TL... Someone back me up on this... Newayz clean *** ride and I wish we could get those here...

 

we have those back here also, they are sweet.
from what i've heard they handle pretty GREAT on curves... much more stable than our ITRs.

 

Which motor does it use????/ Is it the H22A, man that would be the perfect choice..

 

Yes, is that the 215 HP version? Maybe H22B?

 

I think it´s H22a yes, I´ll talk to the guy and see more details tomorrow night

 

I think it uses the H22a4 type s motor, because of the red valve cover, but im not positive. Anyone know where i can get those headlights? Those look amazing, and do u know if they will fit a 5th gen accord.

 

Ah it is always nice to see Integra Rated R presend L2c (live2cruize)

i want Honda... do any one got Civic Type-R for 5000 USA dollars hehe.. what i want to be first that own a Real civic Type-R at iceland (yea yea i know i be lucky to get CTR for 5000 $)

i want better name "Iceland" sound little bit wrong , "Greenland" should be named Iceland and Iceland should be Greenland and dont try to for how i write...

 

a local JDM importer here has an H23A dohc vtec with a blue valve cover...looks exactly like an H22A except blue valve cover...the block is stampted 99...any idea what car that's from??..I thought it was from the euro R but I guess I'm wrong if thier valve cover is red?!

 

Honda finally IS realizing that they can sell it over here, IS300 competition.
We should get something close.
In '04 Honda/Acura will unleash all kinds of goodness for us. O.K. still maybe not like Japan, but darn close. '03 Accord is Sweet, '04 TL is HOT..not to mention a few other goodies they have for us!

I wish we had those here...argh

The pick with the engine, is that an H22? Do the Euro R share engines with the Type S Prelude?
