Accord Type-R?

Anyhow, I was surfing the net today and I found out that there is an accord type-r it simply is not imported. But lemme say, it looks like a sweet car.

The R version is definately an awesome car. It first appeared in Europe around 95-96? (Correct me if I'm off) Then it was made available in Japan as the Accord Euro-R (since it was already dubbed Type-R in Europe) There is also an EX-r in Canada, but I think it's pretty much the same as the US Ex. One of the Honda performance mags recently featured a Turbo charged Type- R. Pretty Sweet.

Whoa! That is sweet.:D

Here is a link to an interesting consumer review of the type R

Actually to the best of my knowledge the Euro Accord was only in Europe not Japan. The one in Japan was the "Sir" 94-97, Both of them have H22 in them instead of the standard F22. Both H22's in these particular models had 200hp.. If I'm not mistaken, www.h22a.com has the further specs of all H22's, to include these two types of Accord.

It looks good but all it is, is a accord with a body kit and a H22... :silly2: :rolleyes:

I know i'm probably WAY off here, but isn't there an accord euro type R in granturismo 3 and under specs it has 240hp or something like that? I know gran turismo is not really a reputable source, but I thought i'd give it a shot :D

I'm from Ireland... and I only moved to america like 7 years ago... and I go back every year... I've always loved the Accord Type-R in europe.. and I wish the accord here was that good looking...

You drive one.. your in heavin... I want them here :)
they rawk.. tahts my imput!

Huh, that's weird cause I know there was the Euro R out in Japan in 2000.:o

mmm I guess you know something I don't... I guess I should have payed more attention to my surroundings when I was there... mmm guess I was too busy visiting the whore houses.. LOL Anyways,, I never knew that, but if you could post some propaganda, that would be nice, as I would be curious to see what I missed.. Peace!
