After my last two black cars I swore them off forever because of how hard it was to maintain. Wish I'd kept mine looking as good as yours! Looks great!
Here is my pride and joy. A lot of blood, sweat and tears into this thing. Might not be everybody's cup of tea but I've tried my best to keep it classy and tasteful, not a "rice burner". I have built this car to my liking from stock to what it is now. If you are wondering the exterior kit (front and rear lip, side skirts and spoiler) are stock Mugen.
2008 Honda Mugen Si. Only 1000 made and sold in the United States.
Not going to post all my mods but highlights are the Supercharger and WORK wheels.
367 Wheel Horsepower / 280 lb-ft Torque

Honda needs to take more pages from the Mugen playbook. It's hard to believe they're essentially born of the same family.
Also, does that thing torque steer really bad? That's a lot of torque to the front wheels.

Very nice I always loved the si. You fixed the main problem with the mugen as well 0 more hp then a stock si.
It has some torque steer and wheel hop. Engine mounts and good tires help out tremendously at the track.
Thank you sir!
Oh gawd...
I should have looked a little closer. The genuine 288 has a sexy, exposed rear-diff with straight-through exhausts, which on this example are fakes; on this you can see the backbox instead. The cowling over the rear lights is too angled and too deep and the 288 has a longer wheelbase to the 308 too - the distance between the door scoop and the rear arch on this is too short, so definitely a 308 conversion. But could be based on a Mazda MX5 (I'm joking about that bit!). Either way, though, it's a tasty looking motor and I'm kicking myself I didn't notice it last time around!!!
But... bloody nice motor!!

It is competition orange. Photos are real tough with this color for some reason.
I did tint the lights recently and blacked out the 5.0 emblems
Careful with those tinted lights had a friend who got into a accident that wasn't his fault recently. The cops ended up writing it up as his responsibility because he had tinted lights and the other guy claimed he didn't see him.
They were darker then yours but still. After that I took the tint off my tails

Agreed!
I finally found a vehicle that fits me and that is saying a lot. Back and neck issues have made driving many vehicles a literal pain. I have always liked Jeeps, but never got a chance to own one. Until now

I have a standing offer to a guy who own one of 2 cts v wagons on the island of Oahu. Told him I will pay him full kbb value for it when he is ready to sell
Absolutely gorgeous car you have there. I appreciate how you've kept it clean.
The Work Emotion CR-KAI wheels fit so well on the car. This car reminds of a FD2 Civic Type R I had on Gran Turismo 5 or 6. I heavily modified it and loved it to pieces.
