Bloody love the thing. I upgraded the front calipers to the 2-pots from the UK CH1 Accord Type R and that seems to have cured the disc warping (I warped 2 sets in about 6 months).
Currently have an Injen CAI on it (its pretty loud), and a Fujisubo exhaust system (not very loud).
But yeh, DC5 running gear with the RBC inlet for a bit more Torque. LSD, double wishbone all round, revs to about 8.5k – keeps a smile on my face

A mate of mine has a Euro R CL7 and had a UK ATR prior to that.
There are a handful of Euro Rs in the UK, Torque GT brought 3 in a couple of years ago, i know one lives in Bristol, one in London way plus my mates one they are pearl white - NOT championship white
It is an interesting bit of kit, you get the JDM k20 with 220hp, diff intake, a 6 speed gearbox with UKDM Ep3 ratios which mean 3rd-6th are a bit longer than an JDM EP3/DC5 plus the LSD.
I've driven it a few times and it does feel very much like a ep3/dc5 , it conceals it's extra weight well and feels very stable. More importantly it is a completely different animal to the Accord Type S that we had in the UK with the K24 engine.
