Mugen Civic Type R hatchback restores former glory
Honda's Euro-market Civic Type R hatchback has been called out for being a successor that hasn't exactly succeeded. Seems a bit of the thrill is gone from the new car compared to the old one. Enter tuning firm Mugen, whose modifications to the Type R hatch should make it even better than it once was.
Not much is known about the changes in store. However, based on changes made for Mugen's Japan-spec Civic Type RR 4-door sedan, these pictures, and the fact that this car might take on the Renault R26.R, you can expect much: upgraded suspension and 18-inch wheels, giant front splitter and rear wing, huge exhaust, and a powerplant putting out 237 bhp and 160 lb-ft.
If the pictures don't lie, however, it looks like the bigger Brembo brakes might not appear, and the back seats will remain in place.

I like the EP3 type shape, like the wheels, 237horses is nice, wouldnt complain if they hit the 250 mark, wheels look great, dont like the cutouts on the hood.
dual exhaust on a 4 cylinder

Just because someone does it,doesn't mean it makes sense.
