The phenomenal Civic Mugen RR was so hotly anticipated that all 300 sold within 10 minutes of their September 2007 release in the Japanese domestic market.
Enthusiasts and collectors seeking a Mugen Civic can more easily obtain a highly respected Civic Mugen Si in the US market. But it pales in comparison to the Civic Mugen RR, which can periodically be imported from secondhand car auctions and dealers in Japan with assistance from specialists like Japan Car Direct.
Mugen is to Honda what Alpina is to BMW. When Mugen engineers were given free reign to boost the performance of an already hardcore JDM Honda Civic Type R (FD2), they trimmed off 10.4 kilos, added 15 PS of horsepower and significantly improved the handling and aerodynamics. Not only did this shave off two seconds from the Tsukuba Circuit lap time, but it made the driving experience much more exhilarating.
Exclusivity is the Civic Mugen RR’s middle name. Production was limited to 300 units and Mugen prevents the creation of counterfeits by only selling replacement parts to the 300 registered owners. This helps make the Civic Mugen RR a very sound investment and partially explains why some were already sold at nearly twice their original price.
The Civic Mugen RR is powered by a heavily modified version of Honda’s 2.0-liter K20A DOHC i-VTEC inline four engine, which was already extremely responsive. To bring out the engine’s full potential and deliver extremely sharp throttle response to the driver’s smallest input — with power coming on strong at lower rpm — Mugen replaced the camshafts, valve springs, exhaust manifold and intake manifold cover with higher performance, lighter weight components. It also carefully tweaked ECU mapping and significantly improved intake and exhaust performance by adding a ram air intake from the front grille, larger intake box, higher flowing catalytic converter, straight silencer and dual exhaust pipes. The impressive result is 240 PS (180 kW; 243 hp) at 8000 rpm and 218 N·m (161 lb-ft) torque at 7000 rpm in an extremely lightweight car.
Many components both inside and out are fully or partially constructed of lightweight carbon fiber. This includes the front seats, engine cover, front bumper and rear wing. The hood is lightweight aluminum and other parts like the side skirts and rear under spoiler that were added to improve aerodynamics are also lightweight.
Handling is sharper with more predictable, higher precision steering, more solid stability, a firmer ride and fantastic grip that keeps you in control when pushing it around corners. In fact, the ability to enter corners at higher speeds is this model’s main advantage over the stock Civic Type R. Mugen’s suspension features stiffer springs and five-way adjustable dampers that can be manually adjusted with a special tool kept in the tool box beneath the trunk room floor. Wider 18-inch Mugen 7-spoke aluminum wheels are fitted with sticky Bridgestone Potenza RE070 225/40R18 tires and the stock Civic Type-R Brembo calipers feature lightweight slotted Mugen rotors for controlled, predictable deceleration that is truly top class. Carbon air ducts help keep the front brakes cool even during spirited driving.
A supremely sporty red and black interior redesigned by Mugen further enhances the driving experience. Its sporty, minimalist Mugen instrument panel has a purpose-driven design with large central tachometer. There’s a small red digital speedometer above it and other gauges (water temperature, oil temperature and oil pressure) are placed off to the side above the audio system.
Special-edition carbon reclining Recaro SP-X seats with body-hugging contours practically urge you to press the pedal and test their support around corners. The sporty aluminum pedals provide a great pedal feel and instant response whether accelerating or decelerating. A sporty short-stroke shifter delivers somewhat light-but-sure shifting of the stock 6-speed manual transmission, which is supported by the stock helical limited slip differential from the Civic Type R FD2.
This 2007 Civic Mugen RR sourced by Japan Car Direct and on its way to the UK is in fantastic condition with only 26,980km on the odometer. From vibrant Milano Red finish to serious rear spoiler and twin chrome pipes, every detail has been well cared for.

A few months ago I set out on my goal of importing a vehicle from Japan through an auction. After tons and TONs of research and countless emails, I decided to use Japan Car Direct as my exporter in Japan. From the beginning of my interactions with JCD, I was thoroughly impressed. My contact, Yoshi, was amazing...definitely a huge asset to the JCD team. He answered all of my questions promptly, translated dozens of auction sheets for me, and advised me of what to watch out for when looking for a vehicle. He was beyond helpful! I picked up my Kei truck at the port in Newport News a few weeks ago and couldn't be more pleased. Since then, the truck has made it to its final home in Charlottesville, VA on my farm. Yoshi and the other guys at JCD are now my go to team for more of these soon. Thanks again JCD and keep doing what you guys do! You all are the real deal.

10/15/2019 Since a kid the FD RX7 has always been a dream car but i didn't pursue it till i graduated high school but the prices just for the shell over here in california was over 15k!! I kept looking around until I decided i would just import one. I found JCD while looking for the top 5 importers you could trust and they stood out more than all the other ones, and for a couple months of more research on their page until I ultimately decided I would go through them. Although this was my first time getting a car from Japan and having an endless amount questions spanning a couple hundred emails until it would freeze up and i had to make a new email thread .. Mathew always answered every question and helped me though every step. I didn't have all the funds in the beginning but they were very patient with it until i was fully ready, then after a month of having Matt give his thought on some of the FDs i was looking at we finally won the auction for a 94 Efini type R Fd3s. As we picked it up from Long Beach till the drive home I couldn't believe that it was here and soo much better just looking at the picture but i defiantly would recommend JCD to anyone looking to import their dream car too and and want to thank matt and the whole team with getting me my RX7.

10/10/2019 - I'd been looking to buy an RF series Honda Stepwagon to convert into a mini camper for a while but the UK prices always seemed too high. I had joined a few JDM import sites to get an idea of auction prices and costs (including Japan Car Direct) but just couldn't bring myself to take the next step, it seemed such a risk ! Finally after reading so many good reviews for JCD (and Mathew in particular) I took the plunge and contacted Mathew. After he answered my many questions regarding costs, fees etc I felt confident enough to pay the deposit and start hunting the Japanese auctions for my Steppy. My budget for the Steppy was pretty low (pathetic even !) but I felt Mat still put the same effort into replying to my questions and queries as he would have done if my budget had been into the tens of thousands. The result was I now have a very tidy Stepwagon with lower mileage than any vehicle I've ever owned, I've paid far less for it then I would have done buying in the UK and I've got a bigger budget now for the camper conversion. I wouldn't hesitate to buy through them again, and hope to do so soon.

9/30/2019 5 star experience from start to finish. Transparent and easy process, and Mat was very patient to answer plenty of questions I had during the purchase! Can’t wait to do it again because the Japanese cars from this era are pure automotive art and these guys hold the keys to the museum!

9/13/2019 After an initial inquiry several years ago, I still wanted to get a Japanese Delica or Hiace. Matthew was immediately in contact and helped with all the details. His videos were perfect for my search. Matthew was able to answer all of my questions and my wife and I were able to make decisions based on the great information he provided. I would recommend Japan Car Direct to anyone interested in getting the right car at the best price. Zach Matheson
8/27/2019 - The staff at Japan Car Direct made what I thought would a a difficult process very easy. Matt explained every step thoroughly and his advice on details of cars was spot on.

5/20/2019 - All I can say about the experience is AMAZING! I worked with Matthew and he was helpful through the whole process of bidding, purchasing, and shipping the car to me. He had an answer for every question, and was always quick to respond.
Enjoying my new Mercedes and I will be using them again!

5/15/2019 All around exceptional experience! Matt was great to work with and guided me through the entire process with ease. As a first timer, importing was a bit nerve racking but JCD did a great job providing a cool little truck I can enjoy here in Delaware. I look forward to picking up the next toy/vehicle through them.

5/14/2019 The experienced, grizzled veterans of the import scene. They were very accommodating with all my questions and concerns. It was my first time importing, so everything was confusing and intimidating, but I'm happy to report everything went as planned! I'm definitely calling them back when I finally come up with an excuse to import another!

4/12/2019 - Mathew was great to work with and made what could be a scary daunting experience very easy. I am super happy with my car and am sure I will be importing with them again!

3/18/2019 Working with Mathew and his team was an absolute pleasure. I went from never knowing you could import your own vehicle to owning my own Suzuki Cara within 6 months. Mathew was so helpful and completely transparent with me during the entire process. We spoke on the phone and via email and he helped me pick the perfect car exactly within my requirements. He dealt with my excitement and inexperience with patience and understanding. I couldn't be happier with my experience and will absolutely use Japan Car Direct again when it's time for another project. I highly recommend Mathew and Japan Car Direct.

3/05/2019 Just purchased my second car through Japan Car Direct. Could not be more pleased with their customer service. Matt went above and beyond to help me find the right car. Translating countless auction sheets, messaging sellers, requesting vehicle inspections, putting up with me and my requests well after his time in the office, etc. I can happily and honestly say that I would recommend this company to anyone looking to purchase a car from Japan and that you will not be dissappinted. Very kind, helpful and professional. Can’t wait for vehicle number 3.
