History
Because the car properly appreciate, we must also explore the history of Honda. Soichiro Honda Honda founded in 1948 and with a whole leap in time we come into 1972 with the birth of the Honda Civic. Another step we arrive in 1987 at the Honda Civic Si what progress had been made by Mugen. Mugen Honda knows every connoisseur, but here is a brief introduction: Mugen, the company Hirotoshi Honda which is the son of Soichiro Honda. Mugen obviously had close links with Honda and kept in 80 years mainly with the development of Honda racing.
Thus the Mugen Motul Civic Si Race Car born in 1987. These same winning all six races in the 1600cc class of the 1987 All-Japan Touring Car Championship. And also as they won the constructors and drivers championship.
When Dickie in 2007 was looking for a cheap and reliable car, this story above him is not known. He had a Honda CRX Vtec (ee8) which he did not wish to use for commuting. 3 The e -generation Honda Civic had have been transformed into shopping cart and if there was not much later a white Civic AG for the door.
The whole tuning scene is mostly fueled by the Internet in this story forwards. Dickie then one evening as he sat surfing the Mugen Civic on the site of Twin Ring Motegi Museum at. Immediately after the idea was born to his Civic to turn into a replica of the legendary Mugen Civic.

After 3 years building and rebuilding is not finished with his Dickie replica. Meanwhile, the engine compartment are all painted. This was something a little not occurred during the engine swap. Further plans to move the battery back and immediately replaced by a lightweight version. Motor Dickie still has plans to adapt the air and another place to find the radiator. You will understand that this car is no longer used as a daily car and that this is now March 1 e car in the name of Dicky state. Through www.civicclubholland.nl Dickie you follow his project and this is certainly something we now do.
