Some crazy Euro Conversions...

SpecC · 03-01-2007, 03:00 PM

i think those look kinda nice. accords/tsxs were never meant for racing so those type r badges have to go! other than that it looks fine. i don't see anything wrong with them since they are decent cars anyway
red is

one time my friend was too lazy to back his car out of my driveway so i could pick up my brother so i drove his TSX instead. a little flashy but it was a fine car to buy

Why would they purposely rebadge an Acura with a Honda badge

FinInk · 03-01-2007, 03:23 PM

Type R Accords have always been around in Europe if I remember correctly. Putting a Type R badge on an Accord in teh US though would mean slapping the guy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Type_R

Also Honda Accords ARE TSX's in Euopre/Japan. They share the same body. I believe only in the US and maybe other countries does the Accord and TSX have different bodies.

The previous generation accord was sold in type-r in the UK. Sadly we don't get a type-r anymore.

The cars in the link are euro-r models available in Asia. I think the badges are OEM.

The TSX everywhere around the world is an Accord. thats why.

US never got any Type R period. and they are really bang for buck! i saw a DC2 integra Type R conversion over here before. man that thing was fast on the autox! it beat some STis and a 1994 toyota camry. MONSTER!

kinda looks like honda accord turned into acura accord
but i think they look like a tuner car straight from the factory
nice job honda

But the cars have FL plates...

Ricey

iatacs19 · 03-01-2007, 07:26 PM

not feeling it... it's not a true TypeR conversion, it's just a mix and match. Wrong kind of rims for JDM style mods... Picture quality is amazing the photographer must be a pro.

I agree with everyone of your points

SES_D · 03-01-2007, 07:33 PM

You gotta admit, they put a lot of work onto those cars. Even if they may be ricers...=]

ska///235i · 03-01-2007, 07:34 PM

Rice....but nice

cm3rc · 03-01-2007, 07:48 PM

FinInk · 03-01-2007, 08:15 PM

Why is it rice? I see no giant body kit, giant wing, flamboiant paint job. A honda is a honda.

SpecC · 03-01-2007, 09:42 PM

The TSXs have been kicking major ass, including BMW's, in SWC touring series (won both driver's and manufacturer's titles last year).
