Hi guys, Im Dave From Cornwall, just aquired my first Accord type-r after swapping my pulsar for it, im over the moon with it what a car!
Its a Vesuvio Red i Believe, T-Reg, Standard wheels refurbed black, BC Coilovers which are fairly new, Stainless Exhaust with Decat, K&N Typhoon filter kit, Lightweight pulleys, and i believe the flywheel is a lightweight item also, Goes better than i expected! Handles like its on Rails and Stops on a dime! i honestly dont think i can improve on this car! lol

it has a Few niggles, Dash lights dont work, when you refit the fuse under the bonnet it blows again (Lights on reminder i believe) i think its the actual clocks that are shorting out, EML light comes on after a steady drive, believe this is due to the Decat, bought a lambda Spacer which will hopefully cure this, and im looking for a Cat to possibly Refit, drivers side rear door handle doesnt open as the tab is broken, What fun it was trying to get the Childlocked door open!!

Apart from that i love it, never thought id own a Vtec, but this car ticks all the box's tame when you want it and plenty of pace should you need to be somewhere else!

Tried to upload a pic using the link below but it doesnt seem to work, will add pictures later

Cheers

Dave

Welcome Dave Posted Image good to see another red pre on the scene :D

Did you get the car from anyone on this forum? :) Sounds like a decent set of mods have been made Posted Image

The file upload thingy is busted for some... upload your pics to something like photobucket, and add them via the Insert Image button in the editor :)

Im not sure if the Chap was on here, the car was from Bristol way, everyone i spoke to about the ATR when i was considering it pointed me here, and none of them have owned one! just other genres of vtec's! Great Site! One of my good Friends wrote the used car write up in PPC a while back,

Just out of interest, what are honda spare parts prices like??

Bristol way? Maybe someone on here will recognise it when you get pics up :) This place is pretty much THE place for the ATR... there's nothing quite like it :p

VTECDirect (Andy) on here will most probably beat the majority of prices for bits you'll need for the car. Dealer prices can be a bit steep.

The tyres are not worthy of tyre shine in my opinion, not a Branded make, look forward to fitting some premium rubber when its worn out!

welcome mate - decent tyres completely change how the ATR feels as when i bought mine, it also had budgets :(

Looks really nice though - Andy (Vtecdirect) sells those "H" that goes in the centre of the wheels :agree:

It is quite deceptive. There isn't really much in the car, so it is light compared to some modern hatchbacks that are loaded up with kit and sound deadening. :agree:
