How do you make something so good, great, and a year later, the greatest? This is just what Mugen did to the FD2 Civic Type-R with the 2008 RR. This year, they’ve unveiled what would be the most extreme factory tuned Type-R. They’re calling it the RR Advanced Concept. It’s no longer a Type R. in fact, most removable panels are now carbon fiber. They have also retained the carbon reinforced interior from the Experimental spec RR.

The RR Advanced Concept still produces 260bhp now makes 260bhp, 20bhp more than the 240bhp RR and does 9000rpms. Watch the Tsukuba video and read on as they compare times from the Type-R, the RR and the RR Advanced Concept. Note the cool floor mounted gas pedal. Totally a must for all future JDMs.

They're stopping the F1 deal, NSX or even S2000 , but yet still produce admiring civic modification.

Dear Mugen,

We here at a little country call Malaysia would really appreciate if you can add a supercharged system to this Civic RR. We would like to see wings that we can clip on the side and with the supercharged system you can basically launch and fly the car. We all our dreams and hope we believe you can do it.

i think the led on the front end is an led spotlight that have been custom'd. if im not mistaken u may find it here in zth's marketplace if u look carefully tru out the older forums. however, it does look different as the mugenn RR advanced's one is custom'd.

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
