What front lip, side skirts, and rear bumper does Cory have? Pretty sure it's all Mugen but just wanted to clarify. I guess these parts aren't available anymore? Not sure I want to go messing with the body of the R b/c I generally think it's rice, but this looks real nice.

Yea Moogen

 

mugen gen 1 lip gen 2 sides and wing

 

Yea, ...eh I'll stick with stock. Maybe a Mugen Gen II wing one day for track days

 

In order to use that front lip, you would have to convert your front end to 94-97 front end.....

i.e. new headlights bumper cover etc.....

no worth it imo....

 

Not worth the money. Most Mugen body parts are for looks more than actual aero performance.

 

that could not be further from the truth......

check your facts before you speak.....

edit...

normally I would not link a superstreet article, but here you go....

Yea, the Mugen Gen II wing is much more effective than the stock R wing.

 

yep! the beauty of a adjustable wing.....

 

My mistake, I'm thinking of Gen 1 wing

 

I would have to guess that w/ Mugens wind tunnel testing that the gen 1 provided better results w/ the built in gurney flap than the o.e. wing.....

 

But significantly better to warrant that price tag?

 

LMAO!

Dont confuse Mugen with Spoon.

What part about "wind tunnel tested" did you not understand? You are living up to your name right now. You have much to learn.

 

Teach me or point me in the right direction please. As of right now:

I think Mugen is over priced.
I think Spoon > Mugen (and that's what I've heard in other forums/places).

 

If any part being worth the money or not is completely subjective. I personally couldn't justify the market prices for the Gen 1 but the Gen 2 is a proven performer.

The spoon > mugen argument is depending on what item you're referring to and yet still subjective.

 

Yea, just searched google and found a thread on s2kca and in it a guy was saying how for these 3 products:

Spoon (Nissin) brakes > Mugen (Honda) brakes
Mugen exhaust (inhouse) > Spoon exhaust (inhouse)
Mugen Suspension = Spoon suspension (both sourced from Showa)

He goes on to say that Mugen is better all around because they have exclusive access to Honda cars because of the close (family) ties between the founder of Mugen and founder of Honda. Also, Mugen is more streetable whereas Spoon is more geared for strict track car builds.

 

 

^^very nice.....mugen+spoon = if you want to play, you have to pay! That's way people pay the $$$ cause it does the goodies!! And if "people" are saying its too much. They just need a better job homie! Haha

 

I love it when people post this video, makes me feel good
