wowzers! Thailand is Doing it! do they have roads over there?!?! Good Job! the last time I heard from over the area (cambodia since im cambodian) they rivet everything on their cars, mirrors headlights door handles. just so no one cant steal em. thats wat i heard a few months ago. good luck w the security and keeping it clean!

Heh Knightrider, fortunately Thailand is a little bit more civilised and main stream than what you think. Just a lot cheaper than most places, apart from luxury cars etc :-) Will post some new photos soon. Have fun :-)

Will try and find a before photo. But basically the same as the Mugen Civic that came out in 2006 in black. Not original Mugen of course but a nice copy of the same car :-) Was at the car today and things are progressing. Honda here in my local town will be showing my car at the car show 23-27 of this month so lets hope they do a good job of the re-build. So not long before its done. The carbon fiber bonnet unfortunately isnt ready until after the show but heh, good things are worth waiting for. I will keep you all posted on the progress. hAVE FUN :-)

So it was just a base model civic.

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.

pretty cool that a civic has paddle shifting on it. i learned something new today.

Here are some more pics....exhaust has been installed and body kit being painted as we speak.
