i believe it's pronounced Go-Zee-Gen i remember from an old issue of super street.

mugen= Moo-Gen

I've got 5zigen wheels, but I have no idea how to say it.. I guess that's kinda sad. I looked around a bit and five is definitely "go," but no one can seem to agree on the zigen part.

It's like tein, I read on a miata forum that is TAY-"N" in japan, but TEE-"N" in america. Some insist that is TEEN. Apparently if you call their american branch, the english speaking operator will say TEE-"N".

F JDM, everyone knows how to pronounce "MOPAR"

damn! i always thought since Tein meant Technical Innovation, it'd be pronounced like the number 10
TE + IN = 10

I always thought it was pronounced "FIVE- Zeegen". I had a 5zigen fireball exhaust and that name always had me stumped. It's funny, I heard them pronounce it five-zeegen on "pimp my ride" too, hheheh. Man, TEIN is whole other thread of itself. Again I just say TEEN, heheh.

[civic!]

5zigen = 5 dimensions

I've always said Tein as TAY-"N", but I forget who taught me that in the first place.

Tein is pronounced Tan.

I always pronounced 5Zigen, fivezeegen.
