I`m wondering about buying a Accord R for daily use and for track use (for fun) at the Nürburgring. I have tested one car and it felt like it had good handling and good brakes but it wasn`t that much power. Is the car good in stock condition or do I have to upgrade something for track use? What can be done with the engine, tuning? If someone have any tip I will appreciate. Links to Honda tuning etc...
I live in Europe.

damn you damn you damn you.
im sorry...we dont have an ATR over here in the states...we always get the shaft

 

if you get the Accord Type R, i believe it's already well-tuned from the factory since it has a Prelude-based motor...

nice!! always like those accord type r's

 

 

honda doesn't like us(usa).

 

they dont like us here in sweden too, they dont take in the really fun cars except atr and ctr.

 

That is not going to garner any sympathy from us. You are one lucky man.

 

but you hace the acuras, which we dont, so =/

or am i missinformed

we have the acura 3.2 tl type s which looks a lot like your accord type r, but ours has a v6 instead of your h22....plus it is a lot larger than the ATR...


here's some pics for comparison:

3.2 TL type S-





and here is your accord type r:


as you can see, they are similar but not identicle, the TL type S is larger and more powerful as well...so for once, i think we can all be glad that acura gave us a better car!...(which is very rare)

 

mmmmmmmmmm, i want an acura

 

yeah me too!

 

here in canada we have something the americans don't get the 1.6 EL or is it the 1.7 EL difference being a head gasket or something

 

The 2003 Accords will be better than the TL/Cl though. Plus that engine drops in...

 

actually, it won't be...the TL is a 3.2 litre v6 and the accord is a 3.0...the CL is the same motor i am guessing, or maybe same block and slightly different heads!

 

The TL/CL uses the same motor, and the J32 will swap for the J30. Now if only a C32A qould swap in...
