your a crack up man...........

Patiently wait'n on his answer...........you think he'll spill the beans?

45k for normal fd2r i would consider it for sure, and for 60k to get mugen that's alright too i reckon, cos it's mugen, got like suspension mods and bodykit etc etc.. just wonder, is there engine mod in the RR? because in the mugen jazz (Dynamite) and civic (dominator) both are turbo charged or supercharged k20 (forgot which one hehe) so ii reckon the 60k for a mugen + type r quite good.

This one has the kit, seats and suspension. But no major changes to the engine other than bolt-ons. Not really worth the extra 10-15k in my opinion. The normal FD2R is much better value.

mugen civic RR is gonna be a very limited run of about 300 or so units anyway isn't it? which in a way justifies the high price.

^^^only if you treat your cars like colectable basketball cards i suppose:p

Personally id feel better beating on a lesser model with more aftermarket mods, than thashing the life from a rare 1 in 300 mugen enhanced civic.

ek9 ftw.

My point was that I could get $60k enjoyment out of a "Mugenated" FD2R. I'm certainly getting $35k enjoyment out of my DC5R. I could sure as hell get more enjoyment out of an FD2R than an STi or an Evo. I just love the sound and delivery of the K20A.

It's just that people are quick to rave about the STi, Evo and R32 but realistically they're no better than the FD2R.

Would you spend $44k on an FD2R if it were to become available here? Let's ignore the Mugen for a second. In my opinion better build quality than Subaru and better performance than Volkswagen. The other cars in the segment don't even come close.

I went for a test drive of the Evo 9 off the back of a few positive reviews I read and was quite prepared to seal a deal if it was a better driver's car than the DC2R.

I ended up sticking with the DC2R.

that's good to hear..
but i havent looked back since.
then again a test drive for a quick blast is different to living with 1
2 door coupe's cant stand em no more..
maybe im getting old lol

60K!?!?!?!
for a fkn civic?!
i'd get the lancer over the mugen RR (Evo 9 of course)

60K, lets see what u can get with 60K

or u can pay 5 more K and get a nice clean R34 GTR

its just like a collectables, some people pay a few grand for a bloody number plate, or collecting pokemon cards or whatever cards are out there, the "limited" ones ar elike a few hundred bux for a picture on a card. Not exactly paying for what its worth for this Mugen RR just paying for the liking of it and it being rare etc.
