Honda Accord Euro

[wokstarwang]

nah i dont think its the type r, we dont get those here, i searched around and it looks exactly like the acura tsx on the outside but we got a different interior here in australia, the engine is a 205 bhp k24, redline starts at 7100 but the seller revved it to 8k no problems.

and out of what action bastard mentioned as exclusive euro-r equipment i have some of them, the aluminum shift knob and black-out headlights, sports suspension, instead of dark-chrome plating door handles we get smoked chrome which i assume is the same, we also get the option of a full body kit, and different rims. so knowing that this is not the type r i want to see how that runs, as we tested the accord euro and it went like a bat out of hell

IM pretty sure you guys get the ATR. its an old car. It was around the 97 or so model year. there was also the Euro R that came out which was a bit more rounded. Then came the gen 2 Euro R which has the tsx bodystyle. Since it has a K then its prob the newer euro R. They havea few in japan when I went back. Its a nice lookin car. The gen1 ATR/Euro R both had h22a.

Europe and Germany got the Accord Type-R's they came in both LHD and RHD configurations. There were other countries that could get the European model hondas and I think New Zealand, Australia were some.

Japan never had a type-R so their answer to it was the "Euro-R" The Euro meaning European inspired type-R. Japan however had two models which share the Euro-R label which was the Torneo and the Accord.

The Accord Euro-R looked more like the Europeans version somewhat but more aggressive looking as far as headlights and tail lamps. The European Accord Type-R looked more like a Mitsubishi Galant and had a Mercedez theme with the smoke/red lamps and very nice looking exclusive 5-star rims.

The Torneo on the other hand, was more of a fancier Accord much like our older Acura CL being a more fancier 5th gen Accord.

In Japan the Acura TSX is the new Accord Euro-R. Our new Accord Sedan is the new Honda Inspire and in Europe, the TSX is still a Accord. Japan is really confusing as far as their car variants especially in the Accord family tree. Honda can't make up their mind as far as names and split the honda accord line into seperate cars and then discontinued some..then rebadged them to others.

The first gen Euro-R was the CL1 Accord/Torneo. They werent available in LHD, only RHD. It was a JDM unit, but many were exported to RHD countries as whole cars or chopped up half-cuts.

The European spec Accord Type-R was the CH1, had a different bodystyle compared to the JDM S8x CF4/CL1. Was launched simultaneously with the JDM Euro-R (same gen)

They basically shared the same engine, but due to different standards of rating, the power output differed slightly.

Then came the CL7 Euro-R's

to the OP, have fun with the car anyways and post up pics!
