[Closed] Civic Type R Mugen 200

Very quick. Proper point and shoot driving. And I wouldn't EVER want to do a long distance in one!

I've had two CTR's and am now on my 2nd S2000, that Mugen has got to be worth a test drive

I had a CR125 with Mugen bits on it back in the day...

Bet you haven't got kids, have you? 😕

What's an NHB GT?

fadda - it's not that core... 🙂

its definitely more pointy than my 2007 ctr gt though 🙂

no kids - ctr nhb gt getting px'd.

what are you px'ing it for?

my ctr is being px's for the mugen 😛

Looks menacing, NA all the way 😀

menacing - thanks 🙂

Meh, better spending the cash on a DC5

dc5 don't come with 0 miles on the clock though, otherwise i'd have one in a SHOT 🙂

Used to have the sticker on my EG6

lol @ b77 🙂

ITS A CIVIC

I would love to join in this thread, but I don't understand any of the acronyms.

It might only be a Civic, but my mate had a Integra Type R, similar-ish thing, 1.8L around 200bhp, it's "only" an Integra but the way it goes and how it sounds when revved up to almost 9k RPM is just fantastic.

Can You see anything out the back with that huge spoiler? Not much of a "stealth bomber" this thing 😉

vtec will need the nuts revving off it for enjoyment. But thats all part of the fun 😈

NHB - night hawk black
GT - GT!
CTR - civic type r
NA - normally aspirated

That looks pretty neat - I do love the JDM white. The spoiler WILL make reversing a tad tricky though!

Awaits that "vtec just kicked in, yo" picture.... 😉

DrP

Ex CTR owner, PX'd for an octavia when little DrP came along!

Used to have one of the 160bhp Civic VTi's back in the early 90's - great car. Considering either a S2000, a Type R or even a Boxster currently - could be my mid-life crisis kicking in!

I've also got several quicker Hondas already but they've got 2 wheels.

Would have loved that 10am years ago. Now I just can't be arsed to thrash the crap out if cars to get the best from them. Looks a bit OTT but a very capable machine.

Will look great in the trail centre car parks.

I'd buy a nice R26.R. It'd run rings around the Civic.

Until it broke down...

Thoughts? You're a boy racer chav that belongs on another forum. Just sums up how predictably disappointing some mountain bike 'cyclists' can be.
Your fellow car 'enthusiasts' are the type that run you off the road and whack you on the back with a rolled up newspaper, which is just so funny....

That it's a Honda! I've worked for them.... no thanks.

aye, but the honda build would run rings around the renault wouldnt it?

not going to get kids into the R26 though. unless they come along in another car,then you can let them inside the R26 and let them play on the climbing frame in the back!

a boy racer chav? i dont know any that can afford 39k? cars.

I take it this is the £24K version, rather than the £38K version?

OMG is TLR low rent?

Honda fan 🙂

yes please...

you'll never see the skips with that spoiler on it

S2000? It's not like the Mugen has any rear seats!

I'd have another type r in an instant,
had to sell mine off when my twin boys "showed up"
*sigh* bless em.
But the mugen type r, mmm mmm!

The current Civic in Championship white looks like a cyclon from Battle star Gallactica, wearing a Klu Klux Klan outfit. Cant wait to see one with a chrome effect wrap. 🙁

spanner for the works didn't topgear test the mk1 against the mk2, and mk 1 was better as suprior suspension system,and alot lighter

the cylons also had torsion beam rear ends, which is why they used to wear skirts

Are you being funny? If not, you're the sort of beardy, Ronhill wearing, tight sphinctered broccoli muncher cycling and its image doesn't need. You get ****ts on both sides of the argument, there is no moral high ground; we just need to respect each others passions.

If you are being funny, then yes, a Honda is a chavs car 🙂

I'd be inclined to agree with the Megane comments above; I really like the mid range grunt of the R26 and its turbo. I drove one back to back with a Clio 200, and although only 30hp separates them, the 'shove' of the Megane coming off roundabouts put a much bigger smile on my face and seemed to build pace sooo much quicker.

The LSD in the R26 was awesome though and I bet you'll love the Mugan for that alone 🙂

thoughts ?

You're insane. £38k would get you any number of daft cars - a recent M3 for a start. Or an S2000 and a GTI/Subaru/Evo. Or a Caterham and a quick 4 seater.

Just can't see where the value is in that Honda.

Isn't it yet another willy comparison subject? Should I buy this useless or that moronic toy? Surely there are 'I drive a hot GT SPD TD VTTI xYZ' fora where people need wheel lifts off a roundabout?

'benkitcher'- yes, being funny or at least trying! I'm currently sporting stubble and I do believe I've got a pair of Ronhills in a draw somewhere, does that count?!

A white Honda!? It's a production run chavmobile. Is the OP kidding? We've got a fleet of Hondas at work and they're the most unreliable, badly designed garbage I've ever had the misfortune to drive. Honda make great motorcycles as do Suzuki but their cars leave a lot to be desired.

Not that I'm particularly into cars but a white GT3 or any colour you like for that matter.. Now, that's a different story.

Its a complete chav mobile and it looks terrible. However, its got a touch more power(?), an LSD and that VTEC engine. I like. Don't see you ever getting a return on it for that money though.
Personally I just want an older 'Teg type-R.

Chuff me £38k for a bog standard car with big engine and stiff springs ?!!?

I too had read that the new Civic is not a patch on the old one.

IMO if your after a sports car thats fun to drive you have to go rwd everytime, a slow rwd sports car will be much more fun than any high powered fwd car...

as jwt / xcstu say - you're referring to the M200, but the pic was of the M20.

One is just a tarted-up Championship White CTR, the other is a fully stripped down and rebuilt car with lots of pricey bits.

Given that CTR values seem to have collapsed (lots of cheap lease deals ending, lukewarm reviews, newer shinier hot hatches have come along - lots of people struggling to sell) I'd say you'd be barking to throw £15k or on upgrading to a slightly better version of what you already have. Let alone the insanity of spending £38k on an even hotter version.

IMO if your after a sports car thats fun to drive you have to go rwd everytime, a slow rwd sports car will be much more fun than any high powered fwd car...

I got in trouble for suggesting the same but have to agree.

mk3 MR2 or any MX5 = HUGE fun
Or any Elise.
Or any Westfield/Caterham

If you have that sort of money to waste, got to be a Scirocco R !!!
