Honda Civic Type R & Mugen RR Review

I’ve used a Mugen RR for a couple of months, a friend has one. And the comment about the suspension being far to stiff is completely incorrect.
Yes it’s very firm springs but the dampers are so good that it’s actually a very comfy car. Yes the seats are mounted to hi (I’m 6ft 1) though.

The Mugen RR is, in my mind the greatest all round FWD car of all time.

The Mugen RR at the drop of a gear lol..
I don't care about bhp, I don't care about what material the dashboard is made from. I just want to hear the magic of a naturally aspirated V-TEC..

[deet]

The FD2 is my all-time favorite Civic Type-R and car, I don't care if the FK2 and FK8 are faster, the FD2 is the only one I would drive home with.

NA aspirated sounds so much better nd more traditional civic sound

[SilverScarletSpider]

The Mugen RR is the absolute best NA K-series Civic Type R. If you need that refined NA VTEC feel/sound this car is the way to go.

Id take the Mugen RR, I just find the New Civic Type R is kinda overstyled and looks like a Spaceship-ish

[nelc]

FK8 was designed by UK and turbocharged it (always turbo any cars by the West). Destroying the iconic legendary high rev vtec found in type R from JDM (East).

I love better the mugen RR than the Type R. The exhaust from the mugen RR is really loud, fast and awesome. The type R exhaust is really low and quite. Mugen RR the Best and does carry manual emergency brake which i love.

You can see how much happier he is in the Mugen RR

I love my FG2 with 07 K24a2 swap + All the supporting mods to suspension, motor mounts, brakes etc. etc. It's basically my own self built Mugen RR for half the price. Weighs in right at 2750 [which I didn't believe either when I saw the sheet, but I guess its true the coupes are lighter than the sedans]. Putting down a nice 220 / 170 right at the wheels with instant torque. It is true, that as soon as your foot touches the pedal at 6k rpm, you really get a feeling of your body singing with joy lmao. Now all I gotta do is turbo it, and I will have something that Honda cant release from the factory :]

I love Mugen RR Civic ❤️❤️❤️more then the New Civic Type R

Out of the modern Civic, I like the looks of the FD the most, more than the FB, FK2, FK8.

[numinous]

The helical LSD Honda used has much less to do with the lack of torquesteer in the new Civic Type-R; it actually is a function of the suspension geometry they've used to place the steering axis very near the middle of the tire contact patch.

FYI, not only mugen RR who doesn't come with radio, all japanese cars that sold in japan almost have no head unit, even the luxury ones.

[mushy]

There are two Mugen FD2 RRs in SoCal with only one owner from HMotors!

"It just makes my body sing with joy!" xD

5:30 that's because the vtec on the newest one isn't vtec.. It actually lowers cam timing to smoothen the power curve, at least that's what the hot version/vtec club crew were saying when they reviewed it.

Great video! I have been waiting for this! I own a Mugen SI and I think the K series engine have more potential especially if you want to go force induction. Mine is completely stock still. And for the record it is not the same as the regular SI with a body kit. The suspension and tires add a lot to the handling. The exhaust sound is amazing and the body kit gives it a unique look. I plan on making a video of it soon.

Mugen RR is a Real type R... the other one another turbo car of nowadays.. Mugen is pure excitement! the other pure boost lol

[TET]

Mugen RR anytime baby... it is lighter and has a 2.2L K20A engine... no turbo lag... VTEC kicked in at 5500 rpm all da way till 8k...
