A real Accord Type-R

Now that is damn cool. (http://www.cardomain.com/id/euroaccord)

Does anyone know if there is a US equivalent for that body style? It almost looks kind of like the Acura TL or CL but not quite.

There is no US equivalent to that body style.

Looks pretty nice, but his specs are pretty low, 7.9 0-60 and 16s quarter mile, although 16s is too broad it is still pretty bad if he is at sea level.

Clean, semi-quick, classy.. I like it for what it is.

Well, it appears he's running a stock, un-tuned H22 =P All he's done to it is the sound system I believe. Plus, he may suck at racing...

F20b

basically a destroked h22, hence less torque. Same HP though, i believe.

I thought the Type-R F20Bs had blue valve covers?
I believe the CH1 (1999 up) Accord Type-R uses an H22A:

doh. you're right.

I stand corrected.

We need someone in Germany to get us more info on these things =P I'm finding it too difficult to get authentic Euro parts without turning up hundreds of "altezza" lights or similar junk.

ive seen those pics before and i did some research. I found out, im probably sure all u guys out there kno, that the american version of the euro type r in america, is the acura tsx. I remember readin an article that acura was the one that bought the blueprints from the euro's and i guess (and quote me if im wrong) the tsx is modeled after the euro type r.

The Acura TSX is very similar (near copy) of the Accord Euro-R, but there's one problem, the Acura TSX didn't exist until this year, and that Type-R is a 2001.

There's actually a difference between the Euro-R and the Type-R (even the European version). In fact, I believe the Euro-R (despite its name) is a Japanese model and doesn't actually exist in Europe (atleast under that name).

To my knowledge, the Accord has come in three different "performance" types: the SiR, the Euro-R, and the Type-R.

Yup.

kool kool

so does anyone know or have any pics of the previous model, cuz i think the one in ur link is a 2001

The one in my link is a 2001 Type-R, or is supposedly at least. Finding information on these models is kind of difficult since they only exist in mostly non-English speaking countries. I found one german/english site that has some good info about which cars have which engines, etc.

Here's a Type-R, probably same year or generation:

The AWD Accord: "Torno Euro-R"

I had some more pics, but again, they're pretty difficult to find.

This is weird. It's an Accord Euro-R but it was sold in Japan as the Ascot Innova. Looks like the rear end of a Civic mixed with the front of either a Prelude or an Integra.
