Guitaralmond's Mugen Mod Project

Guitaralmond · Jan 5, 2012

I thought I may as well get a thread going for my mods! Ive done a bit already although there is more to come!

Here is my car as I got it, as you can see, good condition with a Mugen Wing.

I did have a small problem with the front bumper not fitting flush but the garage came (133 miles!!) to pick it up and fixed it for me

Of course! Being a Civinfo member I have to then MOD! lol its like an unwritten rule around here, JP's front and LED's first -

Followed by the thunderous MARTELIUS! this thing sounds truly mental and all the combined mods on my old FN2 just dont compare. From a fitting point of view it went on very easy and only a bit of adjusting allowed the fit to the Mugen Rear without problems or any rattles from day one. Top zorst! -

Doesnt the inside of the Mugen Rear look funny! LOL

EMPTY lol

Then THUNDER

Next, a very simple mod, some new keyrings

, Coolice;s key vinyl looking good too!

J's Shift pattern, I decided above the gearstick to complement the square shape of the Type R number

A good clean on a dry day, not had many since lol!

A friend of mine then did a Carbon Bonnet Wrap for me, very cheap and well impressed! sets the car off perfect -

A lovely Christmas present from my Mum lol! A Mugen Shifter! she also got me Heko's and some socks but havent managed to get the photo yet. Here is my current shift area

-

The Mugen Shifter is only prob half the weight of the Skunk 2 but matches my Mugen

To come!! I have a Mugen Grille in painting as we speak and a Tein Stage 2 FRS to be fitted at the same time on the 19th Jan at TDI North

I will update you on those as I get them done.

All in all, the best car I've ever had

Later in the year I'm planning on some Mugen side Fenders, HKS RSK, heatshield and Tegiwa fog garnish, Tegiwa Manifold, Flashpro and a tune from none other than Mr Paul West, I dont think I'll really want more than that in power mods as I think I would be happy with that, I had power before

.

Ill keep this updated anyway, possibly some Martelius videos to come now as well as Im one of the few left with one, someone has to fly the flag lol!

ENJOY!

really nice mate - an expensive list of mods tho all this Mugen stuff but sooo worth it. Looks great mate keep it up, how much was the grille with painting out of interest?

Guitaralmond · Jan 5, 2012

Youre looking at around £530-£550 (Honda Red "H" needed as well, £54)

Fitting takes a while as its a bumper off job really

mike_civic · Jan 5, 2012

Lovely :typer: !

Laney · Jan 5, 2012

I almost missed the fact it didn't have the Mugen grille as standard until you said you were having one painted. Sweet car all the same

murray · Jan 5, 2012

Looking good mate.

rowbo · Jan 5, 2012

Very nice mate

i do like your knob

dobe · Jan 5, 2012

Ross does like a good knob, lol.

Car is looking great pal.

I still think lightnings are the best looking wheels for a civic.

Had a similar prob with my bumper when I bought my CW, tried to get some money off by saying I'd fix it myself but they were having none if it. Got a new bumper through warranty so can't complain.

Looking forward to pics of new grille.

l_harris121 · Jan 5, 2012

hagan71ctr · Jan 5, 2012

BDJW · Jan 5, 2012

That is looking very tasty!
Where did you get the J's shift pattern? And how much was it?

Guitaralmond · Jan 5, 2012

£16 I think! Caroline from Sumo Power will sort you out

Im just trying to copy my hero R555 lol

mbase · Jan 5, 2012

looking good my friend, totally agree about the best car you've every had,im in 2 minds about the bonnet at the mo do i get it wrapped or get a real carbon one,fast road set up is my next mod,two things i would suggest get the back windows tinted and these on your wheels,

Candyman moose · Jan 5, 2012

Where did you get your centre caps from Mbase?? any chance of a link? Thanks Andy

Hustler2010 · Jan 5, 2012

zepp85 · Jan 5, 2012

Guitaralmond · Jan 5, 2012

Thanks! And well spotted! Love that thing

stevey_p7 · Jan 5, 2012

Thats a lot of mods. how did you even manage to fund that? Your credit card must be maxed out.

Guitaralmond · Jan 5, 2012

A bit at a time really lol

robbobaggins · Jan 5, 2012

zepp85 · Jan 5, 2012

Haha cheers, only noticed it because my old man bought one a few months ago. Really nice watch, a bit different with the orange bezel.

Staffs Deltic · Jan 5, 2012

yarters · Jan 6, 2012

Car looks fantastic - love the Mugen kit in white. Looking forward to seeing this progress mate

Noxia · Jan 6, 2012

Is it the black bit in the middle of the wing you can adjust? Seen one that was kinda flat and from the back looked like a TV aerial!

regan1985 · Jan 6, 2012

A grill will finish the outside off nicely,worth every penny when you have the rest of the kit already fitted

civi08 · Jan 7, 2012

Only just seen this build thread, very impressed mate. the m200 is truly awesome, i wish mine was white. look forward to seeing it develop

Gp_kho · Jan 7, 2012

Looking good mate grill will set it off once fitted
