newbie with british rover 600 turbo, (same underpinnings as cb7 acccord)

[enzo]

hey there guys, ive spent an age online looking for modified parts for my rover 600 which incidently is based on the cb7 accord,


which lead me here

thought id share some pictures. and spec and hopefully get some advice info on my rover 600/cb8 euro accord












92000 miles on the clock with a full service history,
it has rovers 2.0 t16 engine producting 197bhp

in 2004 autocar comented on it "having the same midrange punch as a sierra cosworth" so the car is nippy
book stats is 0-60 in 6.9 seconds 0-100 17.9 and 146 mph top speed, not shabby at all and more than a match for the 328 which was its arch rival at the time.


anyways hopefully someone on here has info on these cars and knows weather or not things like rear arbs, and other chassis mods are interchangable.

please let me know

I always wanted to get ahold of one of those engines and swap them into a CB!

We really don't have much info on the Rover cousins on this site, unfortunately... It's a shame, really! There may be some members with information, but the member base on here is largely from the US, and we never got that Rover model here (in fact, we never got any of them... the Sterling models we got were the closest things, but they were essentially Legends)

Regardless, welcome! Your car looks damn near brand new! I would love to have one of those... It has much more luxury appeal than the CB Accords!

that's an interesting car, never heard of or seen one of these. The interior reminds me more of a 94-97 accord.

looks more Acura vigor/legend.

of course looks way more luxurious

I looked on Wikipedia, and the information on the 600 is actually pretty limited. It may share some things in common with the CE chassis as well... which would account for the shape that I like so much, since I LOVE the CE, and we never got that here either!

It definitely didn't have the CE's engines, though... they were the G series... G20A1 and G25A1 (which is what we got in the US-model Vigor and 2.5TL)

It had Honda I4s in the lower-range models... 1.8L, which I guess is the F18A, 2.0L, which may be an F20A, and a 2.3L, which may be an H23... as there were not 2.3L F series until 1998 that I'm aware of.
The turbo engines (2.0L petrol and diesel) were Rover designs, though.

thanx for the warm replys people.

since the interest i thought id post up a few pics of some modifed examples,



stock 17 inch rover vitty rims, most people with 620ti's go for this look and reduction in ride hight. oem and looking better that way.






they are some what of a rare unkown quantity over here, with chassis parts pretty scarce..

im heavy into how a car handles and ive just spent the last few hours on your fantastic site reading up on the different rear sway bar options.

my only problem now is finding out weather the sway bars for your cars fit onto my car.?

[mayberry]

not thrilled with the exterior but that interior is very very sexy.
except for the console mounted window switches. i like mine on the handle.

always cool to find out about the cars they dont sell over here...
