That link doesn't work.

This one does though: http://www.southern-counties.co.uk/perform...da/mugen-s2000/

It's interesting to look at all the Mugen stuff they opted not to put on. I would have thought the Mugen option would have tons of mods.

I guess we need a Brit to tell us if this is a good deal or not...

The part about the deal that works well is the fact that you don't have to take a Honda part off to put on the Mugen part. So you save money in both parts and labor just to have the Mugen items put on in the first place. The price increase seems very fair.

Maybe they view these Mugen parts as the basics, and that people would add on as they see fit. I'd be curious to know if doing so in the aftermarket world would void the warranty.

I would have thought they would have put the Mugen rotors and pads on for sure.

The Honda dealer near my home seems to know how to attract all the kids around the block. Almost every single one of the cars in the show room is a Mugen! Quite a nice collection too (there's a black NSX in there too).

I feel they must be selling a lot of Accord's and the like to ricer bois, since I see an increasing amount of them on the roads

It is just not fair at all that GB gets all the colors that Japan gets and we here in the states get muted crap

It's not a real Mugen S2000, they just add a CAI, exhaust and manifold (header as you call them over there) and call it a Mugen S2000. Oh, and a Mugen oil cap

The former head of that dealership is a member here.
