Question

Anyone know one in the south of England?

Just interested as looked on their JP website, and there are a couple of nice kits for the Jazz (called the Fit over there).

Mugen Power

Cheers, Alex

PS. will post on the Honda board too, when I get access at home.

serious problem in getting mugen gear in the UK. No one seems to do it due to the fact its a bit pricey by all accounts.

Try http://www.kingmotorsports.com/brand...d=Mugen_Co_Ltd

USA based, but they ship to the UK.

If you find anyone though Id love to know, want a Mugen exhaust for the S2000 and am in the south too

ADP - Perhaps you should contact May's Honda dealership in Reigate re. the S2000 kit, as they have got a S2000 with the zorst and airbox kit on. Speak to Eddie Cheung on 01737-241444.

I'm going to talk to them about other Mugen stuff next week, but wanted to see if anyone knew of a main supplier (usually works out cheaper).

Rgds, Alex

http://forum.hondarevolutions.com/index.php As I mentioned DrEvil, there is as much good Honda knowledge in this place as there is scoob-perts in here.

I was looking for bits for an Integra (out of interest a while ago), google search threw up these lot who can get hold of Mugen bits, you could ask them for an idea of prices, although I am not recomending them - website looks a bit amatuer hour, but I used them to get an idea of prices when I was first looking.

http://www.tdi-plc.com/HONDA_home.html

But sure there are loads of people importing mugen ask the revolutions crowd - nice friendly forum too!

Also quick search on google threw up these chaps

http://www.mugen-s2000.co.uk/mugen-s2000.htm drop them an email see if they can suggest a good importer or even UK distributor. Ideally you wanna find someone who will sell you it, fit and then warranty their work..

Maybe have a look / chat with these chaps: http://www.japmobiles.com/links/links.asp?lnk=2


Cheers Nick

Type R is quite cool, but the Mugen is the business:

I like em both, but I prefer the blue, the only thing I don't like are those wind things over the top of the window, I suppose theyu're there to stop wind buffing in with windows down, lots of imports have them on, but I think they look scruff. But I could live with them

Alex, it's all in Jap on the Mugen site, they seem to of taken the english site down, but that was rubbish anyway, however the market for these parts is growing, so I wouldn't be surpirsed if it gets easier.

One thing I would say is, it's guaranteed someone at Mugen speak's english, buy yourself a phone card for cheap calls to Japan, and give them a call, sure they'll find someone that speaks english, or you could drop them a mail.

I have mailed various people in Japan, asking for advice, always found them really helpful, very curtious, and quite made up that you are asking about their products (very proud bunch the japs).

Can't hurt to try..

Head Office : 2-15-11 Hizaori-cho,Asaka-shi
Saitama-Ken, 351-8686 Japan
Telephone: 048-462-3131
Facsimile : 048-462-3121

Not sure of dialing codes, but dial 100 and they'll give them to you.

As for email it doesn't say, but I reckong that you could try:


mail@mugen-power.com
info@mugen-power.com
sales@mugen-power.com

Or contact official distributors:

5,rue de la Bergers, B.P.123 CH-1242-SATIGNY/GENEVA Switzerland
Tel:41 22 782.11.82/fax: 41 22 989.06.70

Good luck,

Nick

Sorry should have been jp, force of habit

www.takakaira.co.jp

A couple of options

1) Value - Bodykit

2) Wald Bodykit, looks awesome and will be much cheaper than the Mugen.

I may get a few bits when I get mine.
