I don't see a bottle of gypsie tears hanging from the rear vision mirror so I would say no. :(

[warwick108]

[hisoka]

nice car. roll cage and all. so nice.

the first race version didnt come with anything. literally. had shit missing. lol just came with a drivers seat. and you do the rest

[Chriskoss]

The following message was provided to you by captain obvious's half cousin :

''GTR > POS mugen 100k civic''

[lukits01]

converting road cars to race cars is expensive
always have been, always will be
I think the Civic Group R3 rally cars cost about $160k to build on top of the price of the donor car.

If you think about the cost of not just the parts, but labour, skills and craftsmanship required to build a race car (e.g. acid dipping, spot welding) then the price is very fair.

Now take a GTR and check how much it would cost to convert that to a race car (Super GT spec) that ...

[Fung]

if it goes as quick as (or quicker than) a GT-R35

why not XD

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

I don't see a bottle of gypsie tears hanging from the rear vision mirror so I would say no. :(

Well we're screwed then.

I have Gypsie tears in the old civic so I guess it'll be worth just transfering it to the next car.

[EGB]

RC in action, pretty dark lighting though

[Fung]

lol....give me a bad impression...

payin more for lesser things in the car XD

[tseesinngwailo]

It's interesting in the youtube link that it doesnt get completely left behind by the Ferrari's, and in some cases seems to catch up a bit under braking..

Would like to see Tsuchiya driving it, or better still Gan-San, now HE would make it sing!

Still hope to find it somewhere in Hong Kong, any ideas just when it landed?

I am wondering if it was bought in for the racing at Macau in November???

So want to come back to Hong Kong for that, but seeing as I boght a new Nikon D90 today, my wife wont let me spend $1 for the rest of my holidays lol

But if I do see it, will now be able to take excellent photos of it :)

[egSi]

Rad :thumbsup:

ill make sure ill take some photos (however...they will be crap because i only got a BenQ DC LOL~ fail brand) for you when i get back to Hong Kong

[DylanDesign]

Keeping in mind, this would be more of an investment than the sykline. Mugen couldn't be building many? so it's gotta be a rare Honda!

[aero]

mad car

[ryanc]

looks like hk side of hong kong, prob near wanchai / causeway bay

i cant really spot the big diff between this and type r exterior wise??? someone help me out

[DA9]

Id Buy it ova The R35 (If i had the cash) But I think the RR looks beta then the RC

[Fung]

think this is jst outside Wan Chai, near the ICAC building/Bank of China building.

as far as i can see, the difference from the 2nd photo is the tail light (the 09 model tail light)...

i think what changes...is under the bonnet and the interior

So u will get some photos? so you know where the car is?? I am in HK now, let me know la!!! I want to get some photos myself :)

[ryanc]

i always so many nice cars around there/central just showin off haha

go to the peak - filled with lambos and ferrari's there >< and 100million dollar homes

tseesingwailao: go around the peak if u want to take pics of nice cars haha, prob higher chance of finding one around there lol

[defect]

thats one damn expensive civic

[SiReal]

that price is tseesinng ga!! (canto needed)

but its similar to buying 80k to 100k upspecced commodores, aka hsv granges, etc etc yet the base costs the same as a civic sport or something.

[J-Spec23]

that price is tseesinng ga!! (canto needed).

haha meaning... that price is crazy?
that car is a beaaaaast how come hong kong always gets the good cars :P

[tseesinngwailo]

I will head up to the Peak at some point, the weather has been hot as here, but i keep spotting the odd EK9 Type R and a few 4-door Type R DC2 Integras, am yet to spot any Mugen FN2's anywhere, would be cool to see an RR or the RC, it's still a hell of a lot of money for a Civic, regardless of how it's equipped.

Does anyone know lap times for any Japanese tracks? that would be a better indication of how well the money would be spent.

Tseesinn is definately what they should be calling it la!

Cheers
Tseesinn Gwailo

[SiReal]

They should call it the "Tseesinn Ciwic for yau tsin mo low yan" (ask your wife what that means haha)

Say hi to HK for me. Tell HK i miss it dearly and want to eat dan tat and bolo yau soon with dong lai cha.

[Fung]

i think i read it from somewhere, where it says HK has like the most multi-million dollar cars in the world??

[MrJohn]

100k .. wat other honda cars can u get with money fully built spoon s2k?
but yeah if i was full mad millionaire i would like to have that as a family car haha

[Fung]

but only 1 seat is available in that car XD

[tseesinngwailo]

SCORE!! I saw a Mugen RR on Tuesday night, was in Sham Shui Po, I was getting some computer nits, and when I came out of Golden Computer Arcade, saw this shiny red thing come cruising past, sadly i didnt have the Nikon, only my Sony pocket digicam, to quick for me to get a decent photo, but could see brembo's and all, looked and sounded good, will go back there armed with the Nikon :)

SiReal, I said Hi to HK, but it said something about a rash and it doesnt love u longtime anymore :)

[beeza]

civic and 100k in the same sentence is mega fail!

Haha,Farkin Oath!!

Don't be pullin' this Sh!t Honda! :thumbdwn:

:honda:

:D

[STiR]

It's a good price. The BMW mini challenge cars are around the same price. This seems to be more comprehensively set up and I'm sure it would be quicker. Track set up cars from factory aren't cheap. Nor is it cheap to strip your car and have it seam welded etc. etc.

[Fung]

i saw a IS-F 2wks ago in the heart of Hurstville....but it was too fast for my phone camera LOL~~~
