wtf is so good about Mugen anyway? it's all aftermarket tat no matter what way you look at it

In your opinion.

[bluntcap]

If you want to spend over the odds for those that's up to you.

But it's not over the odds. If you want those parts, that is how much they cost. Over the odds would be paying more than what they're worth. Like it or not, they're "worth" the RRP.

To me 25 grand is way over the odds for a Civic hot hatch. I don't see any value in that whatsoever. Its not a premium car, its not that well made, its not that fast. Its certainly a nice car and looks pretty good in the Mugen guise but best part of 25 grand? pff. That is my opinion of course. :thumbup:

Yea but there is only going to be 200.

was interested (was going to get an M200 and add a SC) but as you can't have them with Nav think I'll pass.

It's good to see folks defendig the M20 and impressive to read reviews about it being a road legal touring car but I can't help feeling if you bought a fully loaded RS and spent 13k on it that it would be able to claw its way past the M20 on the Bedford track laptimes.

And correct me if I'm wrong but my honest feeling is that M20 or M200 N/A is just not fast enough to keep up with very mediocre competition in real world driving scenarios, e.g. the blast off a fast roundabout onto a dual carridgeway or the drag 'race' down a motorway slip road.

Noone in their right mind gets to use the full potential gains of the LSD on the road, not only would you need to be reckless but probably 'criminal' in order to see or demonstrate the actual quickness of the civic against some rep in a diesel.

Don't get me wrong, love my car, but it's just hard accepting that for all it's uber looks and mesmerising engine it really isn't a 'fast' car.

The 20 is properly quick mate I can assure you.

On a track I couldn't argue with you, in the real world for those rare opportunities where one can compare I just don't see it tbh, but then I haven't seen the 0-100 figures and in gear times.

Trust its more than capable on a standard road as well.

The one thing that I would of liked is the front Mugen grill as well - that is another £328 if you want that, too. I'd of liked to of seen that included.

Well, since all the other stuff has just been added ontop of the original RRP, just add another £328 on and consider it included, if you're going waste nearly £5k on the rest of the mugen sh-t, another £328 is neither here nor there really.

Agreed - my point was more that it would of made sense to include it as part of the overall styling package.

Yeah, that's kinda' how extras work.
