Civic R VS Mugen RR

A not so serious comparo between a stock civic R and mugen RR. Not the most serious of races but gives you a good idea nevertheless.

[@CoreyJones314]

I ask myself, "How much would I pay to do today what these drivers did in this video?" They got to drive a JDM Type R and a Mugen RR back to back. The cars were undoubtedly new or close to it. That means both cars were unmolested and maybe even had clean paint. ...and they had the whole track to themselves. It wasn't timed (advertised, at least); they could just play around. So jealous.

[@fd2mugenRR1]

both are great cars..TOTAL RESPECT......

[@wj0102]

@golferchin76 Thats the part where's the second last and the last corner... As the RR took the early apex, and planned to miss the next apex, so the Type R tried its luck to overtake using the apex for the next corner

[@p4horror]

Man that looks like fun!

[@ITRlover1]

Same here man, I used to like a loud exhaust but now I like either stock or something quiet like a apexi world sport cat back. Sounds much better

[@golferchin76]

@wj0102 Thanks for pointing out. I watched it again and again and have to agree. But I guess you meant he late apexed to attack this corner? There's no next corner to cope with, it was a big constant radius but sharp corner followed by the main straight. at the track I often go practice and race, there's a similar corner. I can take a what I would call a less aggressive racing line or I can late apex. But his apex really feel a bit too late to me !

[@jon6487]

beautiful machines

[@HalfBreedMix]

I want that little digital readout gizmo the RR driver had on his dash.

[@NebulaStarGazer]

VTEC is a work of art. It may not be a HP monster or a torque machine but theres something about the sound of a VTEC. Really gets your blood flowin.

[@Newbieoffroad]

do u guys think they will ever import an japanese version of the type R not the euro hatchback? thanks

[@worldofz00]

Much better than the SI we have here. Muffler sounds great!

[@wj0102]

@golferchin76 at 5:20, the driver is using late apex to cope the next corner

[@Jurgonkitfok]

hey does anyone know where i can get or know what that little light meter inside of the RR's dash? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? the one with the red bars going up and down as he shifts? ? ? ?? ? ?

[@DKRaFiQ]

i love the sound ..

[@ITRlover1]

looks like 2 evo's racing from a distance. They both sound bad ass, thats how a honda should sound.

[@poop4256]

@rcking1991 so the charger and mustang have a chance of sales

[@kfredericks1]

@CivicSiGuy2007 lol i know, i was referring to the way he's driving...

[@Jurgonkitfok]

yea i have an Si. this makes me want to import one of those RR's to the US.

[@salik990]

cant wait to see mugen civic type rr experimental spec. vs mugen civic type rr n civic type r

[@b17ek]

that ivtec ing the RR pops loud like my old b18...that is one of the best ff cars honda has ever made

[@golferchin76]

remember though, those machines have been existence since 10 years ago. S2000 can't keep up, but NSX still could lap the circuit and dump the civic. But for the price, it needs to... :)

[@theheat151]

Does the Mugen RR come in a coupe?

[@fifafan1]

is this the advanced concept rr

[@Umbot786]

If these 2 cars came to the UK, they would be in a completely different league to the current Hot hatches!

[@englishsuriani]

I love the Blinker at 3:40. Is someone else coming... LOL. Mayby its required at the track...

[@JohnMillerLifting]

i know where your coming from, but i still like them.

[@ShootingStarz801]

Both Honda Civic Sounds NICE! C: Thumbs Up!

[@_TrueDesire_]

@Jbuds0910 this is what i found out in a fast google : "the Mugen RR sheds an additional 10kg (22 lbs) off the standard Civic Type R's weight, coming in at 2733 lbs. In addition to the weight loss, Mugen RR picks up 15 horsepower over the regular Type R. It's rated at 240 horses at 8,000 rpm Complementing the added power and and decreased weight are a new bodykit, upgraded brakes all around, a retuned suspension, new wheels and tires, and logo-emblazoned Recaro sport buckets.

[@airbustan]

nice! i love civics! their just the best performance stock cars! xDDD ***i hope that mitsubishi would also make a race like this for EVOGSR VS. EVOMR

[@iTooob]

true man

[@Yerizzo]

I remember this track from Gran Turismo

[@N41MUN94]

does anyone know the prices of these 2 civics ? thanks

[@kondor123279]

love that mugen

[@N41MUN94]

whats the price difference between the 2 anyone? thanks

[@efc0106]

does it?

[@Katsuya89]

ya i no, n its like u get 2 cars in 1 with the vtec engine. When u wanna get relax n cruise you got a nice economy car, but when u floor it, it changes into a performance machine, n u gotta love the sound.

[@kfredericks1]

hitting that 8000 rpm line every time... now thats how this baby should be driven...

[@707crx]

that car is sick!!!

[@bongborin]

The RR have a much better Intake sounds. Love it.

[@golferchin76]

dang that RR is loud! at 1:35 apparently Mugen RR's LSD can't cope with the torque of the engine! at 5:20 RR turn in too late! both are great cars! In stock form Type R is amazing. Just add intake manifold, high flow filter, header, mid pipe, racing muffler, and piggy bag the ECU it will break the 240ps of RR, with just a couple thousand dollars of investment. Of course, do uprate the chassis and brakes.

[@SingleCabCrew]

Because they are some of the best driver! and they know their shift points!

[@syazril8]

what track is this?

[@Jaybird563]

Listen to those K20A's scream! I'm almost happy there not available in North America, K20Z1 very similar in sound and as much power as the OG integra type R and the most important part... it's not over priced as fuck like the new type R will be for the next 8 years.

[@golferchin76]

He brake very late and turn in so late and thus carried a speed which felt to me his rear could become unstable. but then it is his home court so he knew what's best to do at this track I guess.

[@gumpy4960]

Goes to show how good the standard fd2 is, the mugen rr wasn’t that much faster

[@juanox10]

i don't like civics, but integra type r is a true type r... id take it anyday over an evo

[@DKRaFiQ]

the battle between the angel and the devil....

[@MElekiaZ]

im have a lot of fun whit a D16...imagine whit a k20 XDD LOL

[@clintonpuah]

I'd actually have the stock Type R solely because of the Championship White paint and those rims.

[@shyaznboy]

damn those are fast civics

[@gambrazzio6989]

o true i forgot about that

[@liloyajswtie]

this track is from grand turismo 4

[@bnumber8]

10-15k? USD although the RR's all sold within minutes of availability.

[@xxEJSubaru20xx]

OMG dat VTEC tho

[@damieg82]

IMO the Type R's are in a different category to an Evo. I'd more put it against the Mazda 3 MPS, VW Golf GTi, and other tuned, front engined, front wheel drive cars. Everyone knows the Evo's true and only competitor is the Impreza WRX STi. Though the Mugen RR doesn't appear to be that much faster than the Type R, it actually is since it has more power, adjustable dampers & various carbon fiber bits to lower weight. Plus only 300 RR's were made so its super rare, hence the price tag!

[@steviefts]

mugen and spoon are good mates they called round to my house last night we had some rb26detts for food then headed out and smoked afew turbo's

[@TaLoCc]

ill take any! have one of this here in the US and you will break people necks!

[@robilove]

twin ring motegi speedway, it can host a variety of events. From nascar to road course !

[@nobinobiii]

”無限　Mugen”

[@_crg_]

vtaaaaak

[@koukicrisp]

not trying to be a jerk but the Mugen Civic RR is 238hp not 260hp, and it's only about 26k in japan which isn't that bad. It's actually cheaper thabn the Mugen Civic that we get.

[@dominicanto17dr]

='[ I miss my FA5

[@emantabrizi]

@unmusic13 ... I wish the Mugen RR would come here. It'll never happen, though.

[@odalV]

true u could get a type R and tune it up but this is done by MUGEN not any other auto tuner.. i would get the Mugen type RR istead of tunnin it myself.

[@Holla28]

are u serious they both would blow the scion xb xa and tc put together

[@gcemjie69]

I expected the RR to be more for a car that's priced around $38,000.

[@rcking1991]

Why the Hell Don't we have these 4drs Civics in America? I would be driving one if they did have them here!!

[@slgpph]

gimme back my RSX Type S with AEM CAI, Comptech race header, DC TCS exhaust, Hondata reflash and some sticky tires and I will eat both of these Civics up. My dyno was 209whp with this set up.

[@patriciafreitas9353]

BRASIL

[@spoontuner]

they should run the spoon and the mugen..that would be a ad ass race

[@mustafadoom]

mugen? i think that was a videogame of capcom vs snk T.T so sad

[@vwkrazy]

looked to me like they were hea-toeing not double clutching....

[@LostChildOfTime]

What makes the ITR a "true" Type R considering it's on the Civic chassis? I would say the DC2 was the most successful Type R. EK9 was underpowered. The EP3 was... ugly, but good. The DC5 was good but took Honda a long time to hammer out its ugly ends. The FD2... Honda looks like they finally got it right. I know it's 50% stiffer than the DC5, yet I cannot figure out how it is faster than the DC5 with 5 more HP and being considerably heavier. What is this sorcery in the FD2R...

[@FN2RRR]

I wish F we can drive right hand in our country..

[@Y.Yorita0723]

RRの仕様でもいいけど、俺的には、ホワイトのTypeRが好きだなぁ…買えないけど、 初心者でFIT・RS・MTオーナーより。

[@sjd009]

yeah because i dont like hondas way to go bud your a genius

[@a88629228]

這是不公平競爭 原廠調教 跟 副廠改裝不能比 除非拔觸媒 同樣行車電腦 TYPE R 可能不會太差歐!

[@Ericthefilo]

@MithroJin id still rather have the mugen RR

[@ap1hondaking]

If spoon made a fd2 it would eat the mugen for three meals a day and a snack....

[@JDMprince]

naw i rather have them fwd, they know how to design it right with FWD

[@Jbuds0910]

@juanox10 same motor, same drivetrain, same 6 spd. same limited slip. So what really is the difference?especially since the coupe here in america is almost the same body work. So you hate civics but you love everything that is in them? You pick an integra simply due to different sheetmetal? I have owned '04 RSX-S (DC5 integra) and '07 Si so don't tell me a im a dumbass please. lets keep it to facts. The only thing that differed from a mechanical standpoint was the hatchback trunk + $4000 premium

[@emantabrizi]

@unmusic13 ... LOL, shit, if they won't sell it to us, the only thing we CAN do is steal one.

[@Yerizzo]

Twin Ring Motegi maybe

[@hangguy209]

oh, and the Mugen Civic RR is only $40,000 actually.

[@jdmsticks]

1 u kno ur an si owner when people say civic and it annoys u. 2 thats deffinitely the best fwd car money can buy..

[@trex0911]

@thesaucyknave by mistake and 'cos i'm masochist

[@vwkrazy]

uhhh ya thats what i said.... i replied to someone else who was saying that they were double clutching and i said it was heal-toe... read comments properly

[@KevinMO91]

@MithroJin you: realizes you own 1 out of 300 cars produced, ever in the whole world changes mind then later comes to the startling realization, that A. you should of been driving the civic if you couldnt even beat the evo in a quarter considering A. the Mugen RR weighs 2600 pounds and has 240hp meaning it easily runs mid 13's stock eating the evo B. then wondering why your even wasting your time drag racing a TRACK CAR?

[@adriandagangster]

Civic type R = Ryu Mugen RR = gouki , with red gi

[@hangguy209]

the type r is $30,000+ not $23,000.

[@ojdidit84]

well the Hayabusa is the fastest bike. It happens to have a 4cyl rated at ~180hp or somethin like that.

[@ChummyChime]

lol. and thats the reason why they stopped the production. lol. also, its because its competing with the civic. the new civic looks like rsx.

[@lostweat]

i thought the s2000 had the best 4 cylinder engine

[@streetwerkz]

mugen RR puts down like 30whp more than your RSX type S

[@YodaWasSith]

Could get a fully loaded Camaro ss for that price...ah hell no!

[@ChummyChime]

yeah, because the torque of civic is really low, but the handling goes to civic. i love srt 4 neon the people that dont really know cars will say its ugly. it just needs to be re designed a little like the civic. the caliber killed the srt 4 name and dodge. lol. no one wants to buy it.

[@odalV]

RR looks way better then the R

[@AmericanJediKnight]

@MithroJin Me: Haters gonna hate.

[@shauncharger]

ha ha
