u must have missed the other thread where he said the SC is already on it's way...

seriously i'd do the same thing... forget the regular FA5...

I think you're missing the point. What he is saying is that it was a waste of money to buy a Mugen SI, and then strip nearly every mugen part off of it and put on Type R parts. I somewhat agree. Same thing coulda been down to a regular FA5 and saved a bunch.

That being said.. who gives a rats ass because that car looks amazing. I can't wait to see a supercharger sitting on it as well

i got the point... the only thing he stripped off of the car that was Mugen was the front under-spoiler... ohh and the bottom part of the rear wing b/c he didn't do the brake light yet... other than that he now has Mugen suspension/wheels/etc...


ur right tho it is one hella nice looking car...

Thanks man! a lot of people think its a waist of money, but i can always take the parts off and sell them for pretty close to what i paid for everything. plus I havent bought anything for my car in the last 3 years so I was just saving. now I have a lump sum to spend and i use it all at once. so while people were buying things here and there, i just held off, and waited for the right time. oh and the lip is installed. I took some pics but they arnt that good (camera phone), i'm gonna add more pics next week when i get my SC on
heres the pics.. Thank you DHL!

I left it off. I like it better w/ out it. I'm gonna put a smaller lip there to look like the Mugen RR rear.
