Absolutely stunning - all of them!!

May I ask why you sold the Mugen?? I've heard that it is an amazing machine!  Still got the Subaru yes?

the mugen by far is the sweetest car i've owned, must say an amazing peice of kit

tracked it in november at oulton park, kept pace with a modded evo9.

was getting hard keeping hold of 2 jap cars, both being special models maintanence was hard, servicing, insurance, tracker costs, fuel costs, evening parking and security.

BUT more than all that was when i took the mugen out, attracted TOO attention and i had to been very carefully where i parked it. did hav an unfortunately incident once.

it wasnt officially up for sale, a honda enthusiast got in touch with me, really really wanted it so i sold it with a tad premium

Ahh fair enough! Credit to you for owning one though - you have exemplary car taste.

So, what (if any) are your plans for the ED30 then?  :smiley: :jumpmove:

Well have added a carbonio intake and Forge DV so far, getting it mapped in the next couple of weeks. Looking to replace pads for ds2500's and braided hosing next week, current pads are wasted.

Not looking to go beyond that, anything more i have Impreza Spec C Type RA. Running at 360bhp/380trq - 6Pot AP's up frnt and 4Pot AP's on rear.

i read that article in evo about your RR back when it was featured

German Vs. Jap who will win?  :laugh: :driver: would be interesting to know how they compare when you've spent a little more cash on the ed30

The RR was one seriously focused and precisely developed car by Mugen. Before it got delivered Performance Centre Manchester loaned me a standard JDM Civic Type R to get a feel of what i would be in.

Honestly speaking, the difference was HUGE. It handled like no FWD car i've ever driven (i've also owned a Integra DC5 about 4 years ago), its very precise and accurate. The brakes are as good as my AP's on the subaru. Very well balanced car.

I dont think any other FWD can compare and the RR also offers practicality. Oh and the 5 way adjustable dampers actually work really well when on road mode  :smiley:

Just curious to know why the ED30 has the washer jets but not the Xenons??


Loving the MK6, saw an identical one in White Rose yesterday, instantly caught my attention.
