Just wondering if they have any common faults that I should look out for.
I know very little about Hondas so I'm sorry about my ignorance! Did they only make 200 of the mugen or are there some that arent limited edition?
Thanks,
Mark

They look nicer but have no more 'go' unfortuantely compared to normal FN2's.As FireBlade said, plus 19" Lightning alloys, and Mugen plaque infront of the gear knob and a leatherbound wallet with the mugen number on it for you log book manual etc.
Common problems are:
clutch squeaky/noisy
Rust under the top door rubber trim
Rust under the rubber strip where the windscreen and roof meet
Recall for wiring under the left side engine mount, vin can be checked against Hondas site to see if it needs this doing
stone chips bonnet and front wings

Do like the fact that there are only 200 though .

Being used to boost you will lose that shove in the back when you boot it; but rest assured the civic will still be flying!

Very rare, blown out of proportion by uninformed forum types and fully down to user error usually.
200hp, 1220kg and 170lbs of torque
And thats before anyone says the 'r' word...

However he now has an EP3 and prefers that to the vauxhall, especially on track.
