So trawling through YouTube videos on Accord’s (I know I’m sad) and I’ve found another Milano Red CH6 (hatch) that has a Type R boot spoiler fitted and from this only angle in that vid, I think it actually looks ok
Now if only I knew someone that had a Type R Spoiler ……. Lol

Looks a winner to me
Worst thing is when you watch the videos after you buy it and every video tells you the things to check and I checked none of them hahaBlackie

Yea as you may have read earlier in the thread I did exactly that, found out about the rotten bulkheads that these seem to suffer from after I’d swapped the car. Panic set in for a day or two until I was able to check it out!Looks a winner to me
Never have I breathed a huge sigh of relief like it before when I found mine to be solid!

That spoiler looks great. Needs to be colour coded I think.

Yea I agree with @svensktoppen, it never gets boring @NickR
It’s not the massive kick that some people seem to suggest, well not on this f18b2 engine anyway, but it does pull better and the change in intake noise is so fun! Lol

All of the lag none of the boost the only vtec I've driven was a L12 i vtec in a jazz and it was completely linear with no changeover but I suppose it's designed for Granny to pop down to M&S in. Drove an auto1.6 civic 1.6 but I don't think it had vtec. I have gone to look at 1.8 civics but they're alway gone by the time I go to see them I've always fancied trying vtec.

You need a K20A for the full Vtec experience, but any Vtec will do for a taster All about the noise

Funny I’ve been looking at either K20 or H22 swaps for it. Gonna need a lot of saving up to do either! LolYou need a K20A for the full Vtec experience, but any Vtec will do for a taster
Though I’m leaning towards the H22 as I think it’ll be an easier swap to do
Would be a good bit cheaper to go H22 seems prices are about 600+ for H22 and 1200+ for K20
The Americans seem to love the H22 for big power turbo builds.
Did the type r in these come with a B18? Looks like you have a clean base for anything you do with it. Always enjoy having a nosey at what you tinker with

If you do a swap, buy a crash damaged or cat donor car with working running gear. That way you know it runs, you have everything, no stupid wee bit or harness or whatever missing or cut off, etc. Then break and sell the rest.
Though to be honest you'd probably be best off just making a type R anything your next car
Enjoy the Accord for what it is, it's a lovely car.

Sensible and kind words. It is indeed a lovely car and one I’m already having a lot of fun with. Sure it’s not the fastest (136bhp from factory), but as you well know it’s that Vtec induction noise!

So that's £850, not £600, for a 120k engine with no loom or gearbox, and missing an exhaust manifold and lord knows what else. Presumably no ECU either? And no knowing if it actually runs.
It's cheap though, that's true.

I was looking at the H22A8 as a spare more than anything at 650 but I am just saying they can be bought for that price doesn’t mean it’s a smart buy
There is a guy on Facebook that was breaking a silver type R was a decent fella when I got a few bits off him so could be worth a shout for a spoiler

Transplanting surely not with the money. Buy a civic type R just. One of the ones after the Ep3 are quite good value iirc
