Many of you may know my beloved EK, which I have had for a long time, well been thinking for some months that it may be time to move on to something slightly grown up but was fun and quick, practical and comfort too, been a big fan of the ATR since it came out and always lusted after one, so after waiting , found one and I love it, had to be pre facelift too :)



Got some pics after claying it over the weekend...































Plans next are:

Fit double din unit
Defi gauges
Lower
Space wheels a tad.
 
Looks like a very clean example, nice find.
Never seen them before in that color (VSM?).
 
My bro had one of these, ive always loved em since, preface is the nicer looking one also! The vtec is very nice in this car esp with a aem. Looks like a good find. Plans sound good also! ;)
 
Cheers guys,

Colour is Titan Silver metallic.

I agree with pre face being nicer, this one has a very nice rumble at high RPM as soon as it hits VTEC.
 
Looks tidy!

What's the insurance like compared to the Civic, being a family?
 
Its cheaper, but not that much cheaper than the Civic lol,

Its still a 2.2L 210bhp car to them.
 
looks nice a good clean example but...what did you do to your ej9?
 
These are a right bargain at the moment. I loved driving my friends one
 
Thanks guys, I agree, the ATR is just brilliant...

The EK will be going most likely.
 
Once you have an induction kit like a K&N Typhoon the induction noise on the H22A7 is amazing!
 
This has some sort of manifold on it so at higher RPM, it has an awesome rumble :D

Plans won't be anywhere as excessive as the Civic but there will be some changes :)
 
I got down to changing a few things that bugged me when I bought the car,

First was the Type-R badge which was faded, looked original and never had been changed so ordered one from Honda,

Old:



New:



Next was the mats, they were worn and torn so ordered a set from Honda, amazing how they have it in stock,

Old:



New:





The car came with the most awful headunit I have seen in my life, Nikkai or something so till I get a fresh DD unit, wanted something to get me going so had to be pioneer and picked this up for £30:



Lastly, one of the fog light lenses had cracked, so asked on the Accord R forum for a spare, picked one up for £20:



And new one went in, makes a massive difference to appearance :)
 
Looking forward to what you can do with this one. ought to be good knowing how nice your civic is. :beer:
 
Nice progress. The little things that tidy the car up are always the best mods. U going for an oem+ look with this?
 
Thanks guys,

It will definately be OEM+ here, I don't want to mess with it too much, I like how it looks as it is.
 
That's a great looking car mate with a few nice simple mods done which makes a lot of difference :nice:
 
Cheers mate, I love how it looks standard and I very rarely don't in cars.
