Euro-R or Civic type R

Agent7249

I've recently been trying to get my hands on someone who can give me a price to get a Euro-R, I currently have a 07 Accord type S but being a few months on now I want a Euro-R.

I've seen some things about the JDM Civic type R and came across it in a link to actually get a 07 JDM Civic type R.

Of course I'd be trading my car for one of these just wondering what some of yer opinions might be and if you know of anyone trustworthy who can get me info/prices on an Accord Euro-R

i rekon that it would cost you a lot more... sell your car privately and then import one from Japan yourself...

what does the euro R have above the type s? have ya grown tired of the type s already?

I see your's is a 2.0 "Type-S", not the 2.4 Type-S.

Euro-R and CTR have the same engine.

CTR will be quicker and hold its value better. The Euro-R is a niche car.

Also consider the ITR. Current (DC8) version is considered to be the best handing FWD car ever built, and puts many RWD cars to shame.

My money would be on the ITR.

Thanks for the input lads if all comes to all I'll hang on till april next year ill be back from overseas and should have the money to put towards it, hows the ITR on holding value? JH? I didnt know there's DC8's ??thought the last one was DC5?

And to what car, my motor is a K22Z2 while the one in the euro-r is a K22A2, performs better/ more BHP stuff in the car is also lightweight well seats, dual exhausts, basically I dont want to mod my car to be an imitation, I want the real deal

Sorry, yes meant DC5, slip of the finger.

The current model/shape Euro-R is a 2.0-litre, meaning K20.

K22 = 2.2 litre. No '07 apart from the diesel is a 2.2 litre, so your's is the 2.0 or the 2.4? Honda in Ireland don't do a 2.4 Type-S any more, so I'd assume your's is a 2.0 "Type-S" (quotes cos it's sorta unique to Ireland).

All 2.4s have twin exhaust, all 2.0s have single.

The K-series engines all share the same block, but the head is different. Hence a K20 in an Accord/CR-V is not the same as the K20 in a CTR/ITR/Euro-R.

ITRs hold their value very well. Probably as good as, if not better than the CTR. The Euro-R wouldn't do quite as well, being a "family saloon".

BTW, the old shape (98-03) Accord Type-R (UK designed and built) and its spin-off, the JDM Euro-R (same drivetrain, but different body), were 2.2, but not K-series (F or H, can't remember).
