The Honda Civic Type R by MUGEN has been confirmed for production, since so many enthusiasts were interested in the concept that was released in the United Kingdom. It is planned to be the fastest front wheel drive car in the world that is naturally aspirated. The Honda Civic Type R which is powered by the 2.0-liter i-VTEC engine, has been boosted by MUGEN to 240 ps. It was accomplished by replacing the stock pistons with aftermarket parts that increased the compression ratio. Tuning the ECU for the Type R and installing a stainless steel exhaust system along with a MUGEN airbox and filter also added to the performance increase.

World famous Japanese tuner Mugen, have prepared the Honda Civic Type-R Hatchback for launch in the European car tuning market. From the factory it comes with a four cylinder 2.0 liter i-VTEC engine producing 200 horsepower, however earlier speculation has it at 240 hp. The Euro-spec Honda Civic Type-R is equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, and like most other Honda cars it’s front wheel drive. Mugen has dramatically modified this Civic however, using carbon fiber pieces for the new aero kit. The aerodynamic kit for the Type R consists of a new front bumper, front lip, and blacked out grille. Moving down the side of the car are redesigned side skirts leading to the custom rear bumper, diffuser, and an aftermarket exhaust on the Honda Civic. A new hood with dual air vents and a raised mid-section was also installed. Complimenting the body kit are gunmetal alloy wheels on all fours, and they match the body work of the Mugen Honda Civic Type-R Hatchback.

The new Honda Insight has a lot of elements that make it look like the small Toyota Prius and Mugen decided to eliminate any semblance with the tiny hybrid from Toyota and they changed the car’s design and tweaked the its performances to create a sporty Insight. The designers from Mugen made an aerodynamic body kit that makes the car really aggressive and no one would think that this Honda is actually a hybrid. They installed a new front grille and front spoiler lip, fog lambs, wide side skits, ventilated visors, a rear spoiler skirt with integrated difuser and a new rear wing. The car’s design is completed with a set of 15″ or 16″ aluminum XJ or NR 8 spoke wheels. Mugen claims that their new body kit creates zero lift so this kit is perfect when it comes to judge aerodynamics.

I’ve written a lot of articles about cars but after i’ve seen a great motorcycle discussion i’ve decided to add motorcycle tuning news and articles to this website. Custom motorbikes are really great and they could match any modified car. You can tune a motorcycle’s performances using several tuning kits and there are a lot of companies that could improve your bike. I remember i’ve seen a lot of episodes of American Chopper on Discovery and i always wanted a bike like that but maybe my dreams will come true in the future. If you’ll install a new turbocharger kit your motorcycle will gain more power and you’ll certainly see the difference when you’ll accelerate. But don’t tune it’s performances too much because riding a motorcycle is pretty risky. Kawasaki, Yamaha, Honda or even the great Harley Davidson bikes could be modified to create a unique, custom made bike as you desire. Motorcycle tuning involves changing the paint color, installing tuning kits, modifying the look of several parts and changing rims. As i’ve seen on this harley forum there are a lot of passionate internet users that love Harleys so i’ll just post a couple of pictures with modified Harleys and i’ll let you enjoy them.
