General Comments

I agree with all above reviews about the Honda Accord 2.2 Type-R Sports Car, Totally impressive performance for the relatively cheap price.
Love the seats, love engine bay, love tail wing, love vtec, I love driving the beast.

Just picking out some probs that I have had,
The reverse gear problem is annoying and sounds expensive
Interior is bland but adequate.
Exhaust is a little unsightly, replace with scorpion if you can.
Ride hight is massive, great for clearing speed bumps but does give rise to slightly excessive role on fast cornering.

I have had my type-r for two years and fancied a newer car with less miles. However what do you choose after having such a good car. I opted for doing mine up.
Just getting myself new scorpion exhaust, stainless discs and greenstuff pads and tinted windows, will look the business.

Anyone know where to get styling mods?

    There aren't many mod available as the accord type-r was never made in japan, home of 90% of all mod's available. You can get a certain amount like green filter panel replacment/induction kits, fse valve, magnacore ignition leads but the rest is few and far between. Superchips, powerchips nor starchips do anything for the type-r. One gem is Hayward & Scott. They are a custom exhaust manufacturer and did a peach of a job for me over a year ago now - cheaper than a lesser quality scorpion system to!
