Showed this to my gf and she said this exact thing, "I'm not even a car person and this looks like crap. He messed up a perfectly good car." I have to say I concur.
Now that we got that out of the way, let's go over a few things. There is no such thing as a "USDM ATR". We never got one. Not even canada got one. So your only options are the UKDM and JDM versions. For those, we look here...
The Honda Accord Type-R (ATR) was produced from 1998 to 2003 using the CH1 Accord chassis and sold in UK/EU markets, the JDM Accord Euro-R uses the CL1 chassis, Using a naturally aspirated 2.2-litre four-cylinder DOHC H22A "Red Top" VTEC motor which produces 220*bhp (220ps)and the EDM was (212ps) @ 7,200 rpm and 164*lb·ft (222*N·m) @ 6,700 rpm. The Type-R Accord model is differentiated by a number of sporting features including, but not limited to, stiffer suspension and chassis, Torsen limited-slip-differential, twin-piston brakes, dual exhaust system, 17-inch alloy wheels, Xenon headlights, Recaro seats and a leather-trimmed Momo steering wheel. As an option, there was a distinctive tall and functional rear spoiler wing that most costumers opted for
So to answer your poll question; H22. But that's if you wanna go Type-R replica. Because, lets face it, no matter what that's all it will be, a replica. Now if money weren't an option, I'd go F20B.
Now since we never got the ATR, it's hard to say what it would've looked like but going off the above list, I'm assuming it would've been 5-lug. It's also got dual exhaust, xenon headlights, and a slew of interior parts.
As has been said, your heart is in the right place, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but your execution isnt the best. Look around the site. There are TONS of clean, well-executed Accords and they're just plain old USDM accords. Redo the interior, remove the badges, reconsider your painted engine bay pieces, and get the proper hood to complete your coupe conversion.
We're not trying to be mean. Well, most of us anyway. But you have to realize, the ATR is like the Mona Lisa of the Accord world. You came in and said you painted an identical version. Only what you showed us looked like an 6-year old painted it. Like I said, we're not trying to be mean, but we're kinda sorta professionals, lol. Take our criticism in stride. We won't steer you wrong. But also, do you. It's your car, your style. Build what you want.
Now, as for this...
I'm assuming this is a joke. Simply because that looks like a 4 door accord with a coupe bumper.
Another noob. Coupe conversions can be, and have been, done. Search around.
at first I was like
then I was like
and then I was like
I agree. At first I was psyched but then horrified by what followed. I like where his mind is though. The few members who have converted have been Euro R, and not really a "USDM ATR". It's a good idea and it's refreshing tl see someone wanting to try it.
