August Spotlight – Type R

Honda Civic Type R – Getting the Mugen Look

Mugen

Mugen are globally renowned for Honda tuning with extremely high quality parts, often complimented with fitting better than OEM, although they are equally as famous for teasing us with special edition concepts that will never meet production, or producing extremely limited editions for the public. If it’s the special edition of Japan’s FD civic, the Mugen RR, produced in a limited run of 200, or the radically priced super special edition of the FN2 Civic, the infamous M20, produced in a run of just 20, the chances are the vast majority of people are never going to own a ride in the same league as these limited editions, right?

David Haswell’s Type R

Wrong! With the plethora of parts on general release, many people are having their own take on what Honda tuning is, and with the added bonus of paying just a fraction of the amount that these special editions cost! Take David Haswell’s spectacularly tuned FN2 for example. With a huge selection of genuine JDM parts, some easier to get hold of than others, he has shown some true dedication…and patience…to get to where he’s at. From the huge and instantly recognisable Mugen spoiler, Mugen grille, Mugen wide fenders and inserts he has captured the M20 look. Not to risk appearing boring he hasn’t been afraid to mix it up with the other big dogs in Honda tuning, from the immense stopping power of his Spoon brakes, or the chassis tightening from Js Racing with their strut braces, as well as the addition of the Js tow hooks to give a track prepped look….not forgetting the Js bonnet!
