Well here in Thailand it is the top model. Called 2.0 EL AT AS which obviously means something for them. Basically Civic with all the toys. Automatic, Paddle shift manual option, leather interior etc etc. The only difference between this car and the MUGEN Civic was the body kit plus some easy mods such as brakes, suspension. These mods are done on my car so as it stands its spec is exactly the same as the MUGEN Civic from 2006. Check out this http://www.mugen-power.com/street/civic/index.html. So this car but in black.
But its not the same as the limited mugen editions. You could say that you had a replica.

The wheels on the car are WIDETRACKS from Lenso which from what i can see are the same as whats on the RR. But if you have some suggestions i am all ears :-)

Wow, you do any engine work? that engine bay looked completely empty, pretty extreme just to paint IMO.

Did it come with a K-series?

engine is a K20Z2 which is the same as Z3 in the states just different emissions. Installed headers, sports air filter, cat back exhaust and cold air intake for now. I will also install a GREDDY Ultimate ecu unit when i source turbo kit for it here in asia but thats later on.

Heh All, So i went to the Honda shop today expecting to pick my revamped civic up from them. I walk into the work shop and low and behold, the front grill bumper and spoiler are all removed. Strange considering that the new grill came yesterday and they were meant to have it installed and ready to go today. So, of course i queried what was wrong......You will not believe it! Some idiot at the Honda shop had glued the old front grill to the car so...presto...they couldnt remove it to install the new one. Consequences being they have to repaint the whole front bumper again. Plus in the process pulling the old one off they of course snapped it in two. :-) :-) All i could do was Smile & Wave.
