from the pic, the mugen exhaust looks to be just an axle-back.

hey man, no prob... glad i could help even if it was just recommending a service advisor. Jason is a cool guy and is always willing to help. ill keep you posted on your parts order status. as soon as the couple of parts are released off B/O status. at least your car is written up and cleared for the "fix".

thanks! *lots more goodness to come in soon*

HAHA naaw. i think there is one other member with a TW FA5 doing the entire Mugen kit. im just doing the front lip (already have) and the sideskirts. The rear is gonna be the FD2- R rear bumper. and im sticking with the stock Si wing.

many will dislike...but thats the route im headed.

***Dizzle0420*** · 05-17-2008, 05:55 PM

Yeah definantly. And Im glad to finally get this taken care of. third gear has been a pain in the ass since day one. But soon, not anymore. I think i seen your taffeta FA5 too when i went. It was against the back wall i believe. looked real clean from my view

808FA5 · 05-18-2008, 05:27 PM

My eyes tell me about .60-.80''. Mugen OFFICIAL site... i believe says 20mm (f) and 15mm(r) for their 2.0 liter civic. The 1.8 is 15mm(f) 15mm(r)

my front looks slightly lower than the rear.

**so that translates to ~.80'' (f) and .60''(r) drop**

Type Si · 05-18-2008, 06:51 PM

Very nice ride! Can't wait to see it in person next Sunday!

i have a TON of work to get done before this weekends meet. im crossing my fingers i can get the Mugen front lip back from the paint shop. and that the exhaust and other part (in transit) gets installed.

excuse the iphone pics (its all i have @ work)

...and the part that needs some TW paint (still contemplating whether to do it or not). its expensive to have painted since they gotta take it apart apparently!!!

So thats where my mugen front lip went.

Hope you like it! I just got all the other Mugen Kit on my car today. I decided to go HFP front though. Pics coming. Ride looks great btw.
