On one hand it's great to see tuned up things like this from Honda, but wtf is going on with the rear spoiler?!

Would look ok on a saloon, but looks most odd on a hatch.

It's identical to the Evo 8/9 one too.

Typically conservative Honda; a decade too late on the Mugen name and a bit too rich on the price, I'm afraid.

I've reduced offsets on my wheels too; does that mean I too can say "Mugen widened my track by 10mm" or "I widened my track by 10mm"?

Just wondered if that's the case...

Wonder if it still has the solid rear axle?

Is it true that the R26R doesn't have IRS? I read this on PH earlier

I think it's got a beam the same as the FN2 Civic.

Oh dear, someone had too many FD2 spoilers and glued one on to a shopping trolley

35K? Well I dunno, MAYBE but it would have to be really brilliant.

I bet it will be, but wonder if it's any better than a standard FD2 Type R? (would be surprised!)

I bet fifth gear will be chewing chris111r's arm off so they can do a shootout with his car to find out how good it is....

I can see Chris saying yes I'll come and then the day before making a really lame excuse like he does on meets

Why would you want to buy something that looked like cheap tat?
