mugen type r civic order form arrived today.........

[cragswinter]

i know this car has been discussed at length in previous threads but seeing as some important paperwork arrived this morning i thought i'd start it up again if anyones interested.
i'll go into more detail if you want but just by adding up the extras to get the car as featured in the magazines (& to how i would want it) & it comes to.......
£46921.53
this does not include a roll cage which i had enquired about.

if anyone wants to know more just post up & i'll brake it down, some may be more than interested in the warrenty exclusions that need to be signed before purchase.

oh & before you say how crazy the price is i'm trying to justify things in this way:
911 gt3 rs = 111000
mugen type r = 47000
maybe not not half the car but it is less than half the price!

£47,000

wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a double page advertisement feature in Civics Monthly instead?

edit-
"but just by adding up the extras to get the car as featured in the magazines "

I missed the "as".

Is it twice this ?

[fridaypassion]

Totally crazy. I can think of so so so many better ways to spend that kind of money on cars.

Its not even funny TBH.

Thats 2nd hand M5 or RS4 money - or actually nearly Nissan GTR territory....for a civic?

Not worth it IMHO no matter whats been done to it.

A £47k Civic?

[GG89]

Not a kick in the arse off 50g's for a Honda Civic. Absurd!

[SMcP114]

That's crazy. Surely even the diehard Honda fans can see that?

Is it really any better than the Focus, Megane etc?

That would near enough buy my 996 and my Tuscan. If you just want a track car then it's not far of a 996 GT3 RS, let alone a well spec'd standard GT3.

But each to their own...you have bigger balls and / or more money than me though!

you could have a race team of 2 cars and a transporter with more power for that money

[anonymous-user]

Wow! Good on you fella.

If you can afford it why not?

You won't see many on the road and what a machine!

[cragswinter]

Is it twice this ?




it's not really whether i can afford it though its more whether its worth it??
obviously there's the whole "you could buy this for the same price second hand" argumet but you have to admit it's vey close to gtr money

[cragswinter]

or there is this?

If it's what you want, go for it.
Christ, if logic came into it we'd all be driving Kia Picantos and be suicidal...!
It's not my cup of tea (the R26R is though...) but if it's yours, go for it!

[Stu R]

Each to their own. Personally I'd prefer something good for nye on 50 grand.

[cragswinter]

well i'm currently driving the blue r26r
(with full 3 years warrenty by the way mugen!)

[MrV]

Whats the issue with the warranty ?

[hardcorehobbit]

I reckon I'd rather have one of these. But if you want it, why not. It's certainly pretty exclusive.

To be pedantic, its not twice as much as that is it though.
