Honda Factory Performance (HFP)/Ro_Ja Honda Accord Concept













INFORMATION PROVIDED BY HONDA


Honda Factory Performance (HFP)/Ro_Ja Honda Accord Concept
The Honda Factory Performance (HFP)/Ro_Ja Honda Accord Concept makes its debut in the Honda display at SEMA. It was developed as a collaboration between industry icon RJ deVera and Honda Factory Performance. The goal was to combine aftermarket products, Honda factory components and HFP accessories to create a car that meets the demands of today’s enthusiast buyers. To do it, the Accord Coupe received a 2.4-liter i-VTEC TSX engine and a TSX close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission, a Pure Styling Ro_Ja Ground Effects Kit, Sparco racing seats, 19-inch Ro_Ja Forged wheels and BF Goodrich tires. Leading aftermarket companies GReddy Performance Products USA, Circuit Worx, and Street Concepts pitched in to help make the concept a wildly creative, yet purely Honda vision of the Accord Coupe.

Powertrain Modifications o 2.4 liter, 4-cylinder Acura TSX i-VTEC engine
o Acura TSX 6-speed manual transmission
o GReddy turbo system
o GReddy stainless steel dual exhaust system
Chassis/Suspension Modifications o HFP suspension upgrade (shocks and springs)
o 19x8 Ro_Ja Motorsports Formula 2 wheels
o BF Goodrich G-Force KDW 235/35-ZR19 high performance tires
Exterior Modifications o Pure Styling Ro_Ja Ground effects kit
o HFP rear wing
o Versus Motorsports carbon fiber hood
o Honda Formula Red paint
Interior Modifications o Black Sparco Torino 2 front seats
o Sparco shift knob
o Color-matched interior panels and rear seats

I wonder how much power this thing makes. I am guessing 300HP.

It looks pretty clean to me. Nothing too outrageous. I wonder why they didn't throw on any brake upgrades???

but they used the 2.4L I-4 from the TSX so they basically did.

That front bumper is hideous, the rear and sides are simply okay....the wheels look pretty good, though.

I love the fact that the hood seam isn't straight where it meets the bumper.

Christ. One of the biggest criticisms of the TSX is its lack of power. Since this is using...

A TSX engine
A TSX transmission

Why the fuck hasn't this been dropped into a TSX yet?

Oh, wait, because Acura's outmoded "supercar" only makes 292 hp. Makes sense.

Not bad, but I like the bright yellow accord concept coupe they had at SEMA (last year?) better.

Those things are tiny. They look like the ones that were on my '97 Civic.

Wow...that looks sick. I think that they picked weird angles for the front bumper pics but I bet in real life (not a white background) it looks nice. The wheel gap is perfect. Overall... If it makes a nice round 300hp for a good price I'd think about it.
