Civic Type-R Owners Club & Forum

Hello all,
This was parked down the road on Saturday, but took me ages to figure out how to get the photos off my iphone as never tried to take them off before, Nokias are much more intuitive to use...

Well the dash had some major dials, a bit like the Defi ones that you sometimes see on really nice Imprezas etc... and the exhausts were much nicer than the triangle ones that you see on most new Civics, they were like huge trumpets that looked simply gorgeous! The discs were HUGE and the callipers were equally massive! Not forgetting that rear wing!! Put simply, I wasn't too keen on the new Civic, but this has really opened my eyes to them now. I hope that mods start to come thick and fast for the FN2 as I can see myself one day switching to one of these beasts. Also an added bonus is the interior is a much nicer place to be.

The number plate was the icing...

Anyway enjoy :thumbup:










Wish I'd had my proper camera with me.

looks like a mugen 20 to me :scratch:

It is THE original full production Mugen 20 (note the number plate)

Having seen these car's and sat in one, , I would love to own one. However, you do have be an all out MUGEN fanboy, or have very deep pockets to justify the price.

Essentially, if the 20 were at the price point of the 200 I would be on it like a flash, however that is never going to happen.

Wasnt a comment on the price was a comment on it being a bit "Ricer".

Ah, , I quite like the rear wing..

Dibbles you can download a Photobucket app for the iphone then upload your photos straight through your phone.

Trust me MU09GEN is a Mugen 20. Its the very first of the full production units that were built in Japan and shipped over.

There is also a red one as well MU03GEN which was the original concept.

The Mugen cars don't live at the institute, they live at the Mugen Euro HQ. :thumbup:

Just to be different i actually like the spoiler

Does that mean i should be driving this ... ?

Excellent!
