Call your local dealership to see if they have one. The salesman I talked to said there were 1180 Honda dealerships in the US, so there will be 180 dealerships without one.

Well, I believe the last 4 of the VIN will have the production number for the Mugen Si. But you need to call your local dealership to see if they have one for sale.

I believe the build number would be the last five digits on the VIN. I went to the dealership not to long ago to find out what number my car was and thats what they said.

he tried, but he is wrong. there are dealers that are getting more than one, therefor others would have to be left out as well.

that is also a hugely debated topic, search across the 8th and there are a couple threads that prove that point wrong.

this is off topic but CrXThang, where do you live. I think i've seen ur car. cause i've seen 3 Mugen si's around my house. one at Golden West college. one at a hotel on Bolsa Chica Rd by Boeing (i think the owner works there cause its there everyday backed into the same spot). and one at my church in Garden Grove.

you know what? maybe they are numbered in their vin...maybe its just the last 3 numbers...it would make sense...001 would be the first and since there is no zero-th car, 000 would number 1,000. idk...maybe? just a brainstorm.

while i would never buy a mugen, i have to say, you are dead wrong.
the mugen si has a lot more to offer than just a body kit. it has better handling then an si. i drove it, and i have to say, it handles better than my stock coupe. it is lower, has very expensive 18" mugen wheels, plus the bodykit and mugen badging...and the limited availability. and if you meant to say 1337 pounds, you are wayyyy wrong. a mugen si (according to honda) weighs no more than a regular si sedan. i read in a magazine, it is like 20 pounds heavier, but certainly not 1337.

i never said anything about weight. i just dont see the point to it. $8000 for lowering springs. that money could buy you much better performance than the mugen offers. if performance is the main concern the money can be better spent.

HAHAHAHAHHAHA! 8000 lowering springs. Yeah, you might wanna re-think that and check out that suspension. Just my Opinion, considering no one said anything about their track tuned suspension. LMFAO

the price difference from a normal Si to the Mugen can get you at least 19\6 way adjustable coilovers. whicch is way more than the Mugen Si offers.

I dont know about you guys I just love my Mugen SI, even though it would be cheaper to fix up a stock SI. I'm not going to disagree with that.
