Honda took the wraps off the Mugen-developed Civic 5D Mugen at the recent Moscow Motor Show, and suffice to say, it’s one delectable looking hatchback. Mugen have succeeded in transposing the Type R flavour of the two-door FN2 Civic Type R onto its five-door sibling, and it’s tempting to say that the [...]
Okay, so the CP3 Inspire/Accord isn’t the most sporty of Japanese cars, but I sure know a lot of people who enjoy modifying theirs. If you think your one could use a tauter ride, then you might be interested in Mugen’s latest release: a set of sports dampers and springs for the Inspire.Mugen’s suspension kit [...]
Mugen don’t waste any time, do they? The Honda Freed minivan (yetch) was only released three days ago, yet Honda’s performance arm have already churned out a “performance” version of the Fit-based people-carrier.It’s nothing special, with the majority of the ‘mods’ being cosmetic in nature and the performance parts being quite mild in application. The [...]
It’s almost been a year since Mugen released the Type-RR, the slightly insane cousin to the ordinary Civic Type-R, but now the good folks over at Nihon Car have finally managed to get their mits on one and have published a review, along with some tasty video of it in action. We won’t bore you [...]
Honda’s in-house tuning company Mugen have released their own sports suspension kit for the new GE6 Honda Fit/Jazz, which forms the latest in a series of aftermarket upgrades for the diminutive hatchback.The suspension upgrade, which consists of lowered springs and stiffer dampers, was actually announced late last year, but has only recently become available for [...]
The new Fit (aka Jazz) has been given the tuning treatment by Honda’s in-house speed fiends, Mugen. The majority of parts focus on improving the aesthetics of Honda’s cute one-box hatchback, and while they do indeed look pretty, that’s not what we’re interested in. The performance side of Mugen’s modifications extend to the basic bolt-ons, [...]
According to Carview, the limited-run Civic Mugen RR has sold out within ten minutes of going on sale.The RR, which could lap Tsukuba circuit in a not-too-shabby 1:06, is perhaps one of the most desirable Hondas in Japan right now, which explains the phenomenal speed with which they rolled off the showroom floor. Dressed in [...]
Japan has the Civic Type R. Europe has the Civic Type R. Hell, even Australia’s got the Civic Type R, but perplexingly the United States has always seemed to miss out on getting a hot hatch with the red “H” badge. The US still won’t be getting a Civic Type R anytime soon, but from [...]
Mugen yesterday released details of their new JDM-only Civic Mugen RR. Furthering the notion that moving to Japan is mandatory for die hard fans of the Red H, the Mugen RR takes an ordinary FD2 Civic Type R and makes it even more hardcore - and exclusive.Mugen have extracted an extra 12kW from the CTR’s [...]
It’s got a V8, it’s rear wheel drive, it’s got an eye-catching yet practical sedan shape and it’s also got a Honda badge. If you’re thinking “Wait a minute! Honda never made no V8 sedans, fool” I’d have to say you’re 100% correct. Honda never made such a car - Mugen did.The Mugen Legend MAX [...]
