500bhp detail

[Clean Your Ride]

Had a phone call from a friend of mine tonight who wants his neighbours tree sap removing from the paintwork on his 500 bhp Mugen Honda Civic. He then wants it properly protecting for winter. Never one to refuse to help out a friend....write up coming soon.

Here's a teaser of what it looks like

It's a GTR slayer Chris

I hear a turbo. Looks like he's got every option exterior wise too.

I can believe that Andy - not my type of car but that does look and sound amazing

It most certainly is a turbo. Was initially supercharged but became far too uneconomical. A hell of a lot of carbon fibre on the exterior to make it lighter but extremely expensive. Think he has dropped at least 40 grand into it since buying it.

Certainly is mate. Some sort of weird science allows that to happen😕

Christ! Does it also allow him to touch the throttle when going round a corner without torque steering or under steering into a tree?

Had it for 5 years now without any contact with any trees so seems to be a beast that can be handled

Belter ask him if he's ever been pulled on that plate ?

One of my good friends has a Mugen Civic - but not with the same BHP as the OP.
