Do you work at Gaydon? There's a Honda-R meet there a week on Sunday (23rd), if you can make it. (Details at http://www.hondarevolutions.com )

What particular size of pipe would you recommend? Foam or Rubber?
Yes I do work at Gaydon. I would love to go to the Honda meet on the Sunday, it just all depends on whether I can get a pass out from the missus for two events in one weekend. I'm already down for the Midlands meet on Saturday 22nd, so it would suggest that she would be making claims of neglect which for some reason always seems to end up being expensive for ME
Thanks for the invite. I'll see if I can wear her down!!

It'd be nice to meet you (and see the 'official' Mugen car.) if you can make it
If not, there are always other meets

Hi Guys,
Just spoke to Honda UK about the Mugen upgrade and they were not very helpful but directed me to Chiswick Honda who told me that the Mugen upgrade was 3.5K and provided a 20 bhp gain.
Not v.good value for money in my book!

Found this on the Evo web site
"Meanwhile, mounting pressure in the roadster market is forcing Honda to up the stakes - and how! The firm is to launch a hot Mugen special edition of the S2000 for the UK - and it will be an extreme version of the already impressive standard car.
Thanks to a new exhaust system, replacement air filter and a stripped down weight-saving cabin, drivers will enjoy explosive performance. The car's 0-60mph sprint is expected to beat the standard roadster's 6.2 seconds. Power will also be up on the current car's 237bhp, with the Mugen breaking the 250bhp barrier. The special edition will be based on the concept version that appeared at the Geneva Motor Show two years ago, and will have new alloys as well as an imposing rear wing. The Mugen S2000 could hit UK roads as early as next year. Chris Thorp"

I'm afraid mine has gone back to Southern Counties. There was a tick box on the letter if you wanted more info so I ticked it and put it in the post. Didn't keep a copy though.
I could possibly send a copy of what I get back if interested.

Hi Martin
Did you buy your Mugen from Tachbrook Honda, is it Black, if so you are the guy that done me out of a day long test drive as they had sold it when I got there. So I had to make do with a GT fitted with an HKS exhaust.
