Bought A Mugen Si
Well today we bought a Mugen Si. We pick it up from the dealership this saturaday. They gave me $21,250 for our 2007 Si and $27,295 for the Mugen. I will post pictures as soon as possible.:vtec:

you lucky damn bastard. put a custom alarm on that ASAP since they tend to get broken into/stolen a lot
|
Wow..Nice. Post pics and vids when you get it. Sounds like you got a damn nice deal for one of those baby's. Your going to own a VERY rare car, keep her in nice condition. Yeah they are overpriced far a Civic, but they are going to be SOOO rare. If your a owner, your very lucky.

I hope you keep it in the garage... thieves are everywhere.

You havent even got it? Im going to say Coggin. If its Coggin Id be surprised with that price. They have mark ups like mad.
My other guess would be Holler, however a friend of mine knows the guy that bought their Mugen Si. I posted pics a while back of it. Maybe they got another one?

My cars are always garaged. I never leave them out to long. Both parking lots where my wife and I park for work are under security surveillance. BTW Lowjack always help;) Did I forget protected by Smith & Wesson:cool:
And u may think lowjack helps, it's nothing for the guys over there either. Tons of luxury mini vans & SUV keep being stolen every single day. Anyway good luck & congrats on the new purchase! :) |

Yeah btw the guy who owns the Evo6.5 that I mentioned about is a police officer. And he still can't find his car YET.
Guess the guts are all over the places now..... |
I was at the local Honda dealership today to get the Fits first oil change and was surprised they still had their one Mugen SI in the showroom. That car is hot! If I had the money - that would be a nice way to spend it! There car is stickered for $30,000.00.

Ohh, JK. :D agreed. the fiji blue is very nice looking and makes the body kit of the car flow nicely. it would look cool in white...but not taffeta, it'd have to be championship!:) anywho, congrats on the purchase! give us a full review! any particular reason you just went with this over your civic? aside from the rarity, i've heard they perform much the same, with the mugen being slightly sharper and more planted at high speed. they did give you a killer deal on your old si though, you must have had some equity! (or the hook up, he-he...;) ) i think the real world buying prices for this car SHOULD be around what you got it for. The dealers in my area have had theirs for months without any takers. at 26-25k, the price is justifiable. |
Here it is. Crappy pic will have a Mugen Si and Fit shoot this weekend!!!!

Parked it at the movie theatres...when I came out, car was gone. Informed Parking Lot Security and the Popos and eventually found the car abandoned by the exit ramp. Thieves popped the ignition, and tried to start the car by popping into 1st gear. But they could NOT get it started b/c of the Fuel Cut Off... |

BTW in Florida if you feel like your in danger you can use deadly force. PROTECTED BY SMITH AND WESSON:cool: I will shoot you if you are in my house or my car unwanted. God I love the south:D

Still, theres always a flatbed. A friend of mine RSX-S was towed from in front of his house. It was found, random things removed but surprisingly it wasnt stripped. The car had countless mods and very high prices goodies.
He didnt take the car back due to the way it drove. He said it felt ragged on. Congrats on the car man. Looks nice. |

The car drives awesome, no joke. This is my 3rd 8th gen Si and it feels amazing on the road. I have owned 6 Si's and over 20 Honda's and this is my precious. I love this car more than my Fit and that is a big statement, trust me. It makes my old AP1 and AP2(S2k's) feel loose in the corners. :vtec:
congrats man, it looks great! man you go through a lot of si's! have you kept them or you just like switching out? (i'm assuming you went from one body style to another, and then to this one.) i belive the statement about the s2ks....the new type r out laps them, and i'm sure this car is no slouch either! |
I love th Mugen Si. I was basically drooling over the thing at my local dealer while I was in the showroom waiting for my new fit to be ready. I quit drooling when I saw the 36k sticker on it. Congrats on your purchase, it sounds like you got a great deal!

meh, don't get too hyped up...just ask him to take a picture of the shiftknob, because unfortunetly, that the only thing thats different. oh and the small placard that says what number you have. everything else is standard si fare. |

Man - congrads that is just one sweet ride. How do you like the Mugen pedals?
Cat :x |
Love the new pics! Thats a great looking car.
