My sisters new car (a mugen) (more pics on pg 3)

dc5Aspec'd · 05-15-2008, 04:52 PM

There are only 1000 mugen civic si's in the US and my sis got one yesterday. They cost the same as an sti but slower

I still have the fastest car in the family.

nice car, any power increases from a regular Si?

better put Lo-Jack on it right away

**WESTI** · 05-15-2008, 05:00 PM

hah when i first saw that car i though to myself, "DAMN who would waste their money on that thing?!" well i guess now i know

deegee · 05-15-2008, 05:08 PM

Cmon guys...it is a cool lookin car. I saw it at the autoshow this year, I'd love to ride in one sometime.

sujak · 05-15-2008, 05:10 PM

really nice car, but very bad choice for a DD. It's probably going to get stolen ASAP or stripped out on the street...

mdiesel · 05-15-2008, 05:26 PM

Is that her actual car? Or a stock photo?

dc5Aspec'd · 05-15-2008, 05:30 PM

they didnt do anything to the engine bc the US has strict rules or something. in japan the mugen has everything done to it with the engine, transmission, ext. But the US models only has suspension and areo dynamics mods, along with the rims and exhaust.

Yea i agree its not the best for DD but its still a really nice car. She doesnt really drive it that much. its in a garage every night and shes getting security for it.

I thought the Mugen Civics were about $30K and were the same hp as a regular SI (197hp IIRC). Not quite as much money as an STi, but still overpriced for what you get. Please tell me she didn't pay over msrp.

BTW, I think this car has about 130 ft/lbs of torque, officially making it the least amount of torque on the market for $30,000. haha. Honda FTL.

sujak · 05-15-2008, 05:37 PM

Honda shoulda added a supercharger) woulda bumped it up to atleast 230whp/170wtq

dc5Aspec'd · 05-15-2008, 05:40 PM

yea she got it around $30K. i got my sti for $32K brand new so its just as much. The hp is the same, its just mostly looks that were done to it.

**WESTI** · 05-15-2008, 05:42 PM

its cool and all but im just REALLY not likin the front bumper

renns · 05-15-2008, 05:44 PM

Does she like to drive or did she get a Mugen because it's more expensive?

dc5Aspec'd · 05-15-2008, 05:51 PM

She likes to drive but bc she just got it shes alittle scared someone will steal it. she still drives it to school and places, just close by places not too far away. doesnt want the miles on it.

I like the car but not the price. a normal Si is just fine for me if that's what I wanted.

I got my 06 STI for $31k
