Sorry, I have nowhere to host the pics so you'll have to copy and paste the link into your browser manually. Unless someone else can host them and put them on this thread.

It maximizes presure in your gas tank so it forces more fuel into your engine. I think you could get an easy 22whp with that mod.

I don't know how much more those mugen rims are than most aftermarket rims, probably a lot more because of name, but those look a lot like g-games sidewinders 77 made by Ray's.

$440 in Silver, $460 in Mirror Face. Keep in mind; that's cheap for anything that says Mugen. Their forged wheels are like $700-800, and they get $80 just for an oil cap.

These are Honda specific offsets though; the 18" is a 7.5" 55 offset. It's possible they even had to use a spacer to clear those Stoptechs.........

You can get it through King........

Mugen Fuel Cap

Ummmmm........it doesn't force more fuel......it's just a chrome plated piece of plastic that fits over your existing cap.

Dan was just expressing the widely held view that for $65, it probably should force fuel.........

It has the Mugen 5 way adjustable sport suspension. This is a well thought out suspension that is application specific and works well for both street and light track use.

It is lowered around an 1", part of the reason that the wheel gap is still large is that they're running slightly smaller than stock diameter tires.

My guess is that they're hoping to sell the suspension to people that want to retain full daily drivability; with this setup you wouldn't have to worry about steep driveways or speed-bumps and it will still offer a significant improvement in handling.

ok. let me rephrase then - that think needs to lowered MORE.

track use? well i can somewhat agree with that, but i hope no one plans to buy that mugen body kit and track it. that would make me die laughing.
