"Mugen is that hot girl that walks into the party" and Honda was like "Chill out guys that's my SON!"

What you also need to know is Mugen stickers are very important in making your 1998 Civic DX go faster.

I'm only level one rosetta stone but Mugen roughly translates to "As the red sun rises, make more power baby" and I think that's really beautiful

I was blessed enough to own a Honda Integra, DC2, in Italy and a mate of mine, he owned a tuning shop, installed a Mugen ECU with full headers 4-1, along with a coil over kit on my car. The car managed to rev 11k no problem. When the V-TEC kicked in it was a monster.


Great show.

My favourite Mugen is the FN2 Civic Type R 2.2 Mugen. Such a great car!

[RaisinBagelz]

So everyone's just going to ignore the fact that Pumphrey just told us all that Clarkson is his father?
