yeah they are hella pretty exp and more on right hand drive here in the philippines its left hand drive and since we have the fd civic that isnt usdm we just place on 3rd party copy mugen body parts on the regular sedan without any adjustments or whatsoever since they made it fit for the sedan the usdm version can be converted to the japanese style civic and also install mugen kits but will however face fitment problems on installation
Mugen has an extensive motor sports history, but not everyone can afford the cash they ask, for minimal gains. With $3000, someone can make a standard FA5/ FD2 faster. You’re paying for the name. The RR is an excellent car, but even as a devout Honda fanboy, I’d prefer to use that money for a clean stock NSX, a stock EK9, or DC2
This history of this version of the car so interesting, however that's where my line's drawn. I don't think I could fork over 60-100k for a 260hp civic, but you do you with your money!
I'm a die hard Honda fan and I think 100k for a Civic is absolutely diabolical. I don't care how cool it looks or how fast it is on the track, you could do a lot of cool things with that money and I don't mean buying other cars.
@@dennischen8887 there are plenty of end game Honda cars that most guys won't ever be able to touch. S2000 CR, NSX Type S/R, EK9, FD2, DC2R, and the Mugen RR.
@@fabioribeiro5071you do know the clio v6 isn’t a slouch by any means. These cars would probably perform somewhat similarly, and you could dump a bunch into the Clio for the price of the RR. You could also just build a civic and dust the RR
I don’t even think it’s that, for me it’s just the fact that it barely makes any more horsepower than a factory civic, and it doesn’t cost much to get a civic to make some nice power.
@@SuperMyacc tell me about it. Although an r34 GTR is also overpriced. Just get an R33 GTR. Less than half the price on average with pretty much the same driving experience.
Its cool but for 100k there is quite a lot of options i would rather spend my money on then a Civic. I can buy and get the mother of all s2000s built for that kind of money or just get an NSX.
reading the comments saying better buy this and that . i mean this car price just gonna get up. it more like investment car rn. if you saying the price it too much even the regular fd2 type r still going up.
I dunno may be in the minority here. I just feel that these “special edition” and “average” performing sports cars are overrated especially for what they cost. Like the several million dollars z tune r34 GTR or the 400r r33 GTR. Just get a base model and modify them to perform way better than these rare editions. And you can still add better aero, carbon parts, seats, etc., and still come up way cheaper. Unless you just want to show off the “badge” and feel special you have a rare car.
If Honda's mission was outright performance, they would have thrown a turbo on everything. The average person or even the above average person could NOT get a civic to feel like this, regardless of what $$ they dump into it. Most aren't paying for the "badge" they are paying for the engineering. Hell, Gordon Murray's inspiration for his manual was the chain driven Honda S600...
@@billymays7210 just because you throw in a turbo does not mean it can perform better especially on certain circuits due to lag or other factors. With enough money, you can literally mod a car to be the perfect car better than what Honda originally intended them to be. Hence the term oem+. I have a track built s2000 for grid life, no turbo, but it will destroy a stock s2000 CR, or an NSX R on the track. And what engineering marvel are you referring to on these upbadged special editions? The special carbon aero parts that you can also purchase at an inflated price?
@@billymays7210 I can say the same about you. At least I have a point. You mentioned engineering and Honda’s mission yet you failed to explain and elaborate on your “points” lmao

I remember FD2 Type R was a 40-42k car and RR was 60-65k back in 2007-2011. S2000 was a 30-35k. Mugen RR has some mods made by Mugen but still a strut suspension car. I had a chance to see that bumper in person, which a friend made a quick release on his FA5. It is Nothing special.

Because they had the nearly the same suspension setup as the old porsches until they all went to double wishbone, it was the McPherson's.

No disrespect to Honda but @$100k I am buying an JDM R34 or Evo.

You can buy 4 evos for that price now.

When I have the money hopefully the price doesn’t shoot up like crazy. I would love to get my hands on one of these bad boys.
