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"

You can order Mugen parts from www.kingmotorsports.com
They are the North American distributor - I believe that many folks in the UK have ordered from them in the past.

Sorry!!
Yep it was the one form Tachbrook Honda. Just fell in love with it when I saw it.
Did you get the silver/blue GT they had out back? That looked pretty sweet too.

[B]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.

I had the Nurburgring Blue Gt with the HKS exhaust fitted, it sounded awesome as soon as I reached Vetec. But even better I took delivery of my NFRed Gt 7 days latter now done just over 300 miles and can't wait to do some
