Limited Edition Mugen Civic Si Sedan (Threads Merged)

***sickyute*** · 10-31-2006, 05:08 PM

I was just about to head to my dealership to put in my order....I'm serious...
After much consideration i decided not to for the simple reason that my current car is "ME" and is heading in the direction i want it to be, and the Mugen is already basically customized kinda....oh and i just don't think an Si should ever be a Sedan...so i decided not to go ahead...

However i do change my mind pretty quickly...so that may change

Sedan owners are lucky cuz they could make direct swaps!! a number of the parts us coupe owners could use also...

the mugen Si stickers(interior and exterior) and shift knob and whatever else fits my car i'll get cuzi have waaaaaayyy too much money spent on Mugen stuff already....the gunmetal wheels i'll get to match my s2000 headlights

so no more searching for wheels for me

makes me wonder if other mugen parts will now be available at dealers like brake pads, brake kits, the clutch kit they have out for the car now, the ugraded LSD thats out for the car as well etc. etc.. all of which are only available from kingmotorsports.com at the moment....

makes me think they'll have parts for the Coupe as well!!!! bmpers, aero kits etc....hmmmmmmmmm i wonder, i hope.

this is not far away people....it says SPRING at dealerships!!!

There goes my GTR fund!!!! i guess i'll have to work a lil harder to replenish that

Rep. for good info.

The name MUGEN symbolizes Honda performance throughout Asia and around the globe. MUGEN, under license by M-TEC Co., Ltd., of Japan, has been closely associated with Honda for decades in the design and manufacture of racing and premium performance components. The Civic MUGEN Si Sedan draws inspiration from a "Formula Sport" concept, adding an aggressive dimension of performance to the Civic Si Sedan with a track-tuned suspension, aerodynamic body styling and a performance exhaust system. The track tuned suspension, tested at the Twin Ring Motegi racing circuit in Japan, lowers the vehicle by 0.6 inches (15mm) with highly aggressive spring and damper tuning for enhanced handling performance. The full-vehicle aero-package adds a front spoiler and sports grille, side spoilers, a rear diffuser and a rear wing. The lightweight MUGEN forged alloy wheels measure 18x7.5 inches and are shod with high grip 215/40R18 summer tires. The sports exhaust system reduces back pressure from the catalytic converter back resulting in an enhanced power curve. Additional accoutrements include front and rear MUGEN emblems along with a serial number placard on the instrument panel. A spherical 50 mm MUGEN aluminum shift knob replaces the standard aluminum and perforated leather shift knob. Planned for production in a limited quantity of 500 units a year, the Civic MUGEN Si will be available at U.S. Honda dealers starting in spring 2007 with a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of less than $30,000 and includes a full factory warranty.

Another press release:
American Honda Motor Co., Inc., today revealed a prototype Civic MUGEN Si Sedan prepared by legendary Honda tuner MUGEN equipped with a high performance suspension, forged aluminum wheels, aerodynamic body styling and a sport exhaust system at the 2006 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show. Planned for production in a limited quantity of 500 units a year, the Civic MUGEN Si will be available at U.S. Honda dealers starting in spring 2007 with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of less than $30,000 and a full factory warranty.

"Enthusiasts have equated the name MUGEN with JDM Honda performance for decades, and with the introduction of the Civic Si Sedan, the time is right for the two companies to once again join forces," said John Mendel, senior vice president of American Honda. "A MUGEN-tuned vehicle available directly from the factory provides the ultimate level of performance, quality and refinement in a specially-tuned car."

The track tuned suspension, tested at the Twin Ring Motegi racing circuit in Japan, lowers the vehicle by 0.6 inches with aggressive spring and damper tuning for enhanced handling performance while still maintaining a high level of ride comfort. Compared to the stock Civic Si Sedan, front and rear damping force (both bump and rebound) was increased between 8- and 24-percent (the rate varies depending on condition). Lightweight 16.7-pound 18x7.5-inch forged aluminum wheels (27 percent lighter than the stock 17x7 alloy wheel) and high-grip BFGoodrich(R) g-Force KDW 215/40ZR18 summer tires help to further create MUGEN's rewarding and well-balanced handling performance character.

The full-vehicle aero-package adds a front spoiler with a sports grille (with special MUGEN Si emblem), side spoilers, a rear bumper diffuser and a rear wing. The sports exhaust system reduces exhaust system back pressure from the catalytic converter back, resulting in an enhanced power curve. Additional accoutrements include front and rear MUGEN emblems outside. Inside, a serial number placard is located on the instrument panel along with a spherical 50 mm MUGEN shift knob.

The name MUGEN symbolizes Honda performance throughout Asia and around the globe. MUGEN, under license by M-TEC Co., Ltd., of Japan, has been closely associated with Honda for more than three decades in the design and manufacture of racing and premium aftermarket performance products.

Honda's activities at SEMA coincide with the November 1 on-sale date of the new-for-2007 Civic Si Sedan. The Civic Si Sedan embraces the style and performance of the Civic Si Coupe and marks the first time that "Si" performance has become available in a sedan body style.

Civic MUGEN Si Sedan Prototype Specs:
Ride Height = -0.6 inches (5.3 inches total)
Overall Length = +1.1 inches (177.8 inches total)
Wheels: Forged GP 18x7.5 (pattern 5H-114.3 +48)
Color: Fiji Blue Pearl

Also it seems the add-ons aren't all that special. They are mostly cosmetic (except for the upgraded exhaust). It won't be any faster than any other Si especially a coupe.. or am I missing something?

dcfife · 10-31-2006, 05:18 PM

:SHOCKED:

I wonder what the "enhanced power curve" is exactly...

***sickyute*** · 10-31-2006, 05:19 PM

front and rear bumper is lovely!!!!

VTecVoodoo · 10-31-2006, 05:19 PM

the rear spoiler looks ridiculous. Rice-a-roni!

nnorton · 10-31-2006, 05:21 PM

Sorry not my cup of tea I think it is fugly... only thing I like is the rear bumper at the bottom and it needs to have the exhaust in the middle!!!!!!! but nice find +1 rep

I love you.

You gonna be around in January? I didn't get to go to SEMA (f'in United Airlines). I think I need a vaca to Florida.

I still think a Type-R style lip would look best on the sedan over either the Mugen-J's Racing wanna-be lip or the OEM HFP sedan lip kit.

***sickyute*** · 10-31-2006, 05:37 PM

january...more than likely, yes.
