Really, what are people thinking? You don't put any Honda that is jam packed with Mugen parts in any United States parking lot. This is common sense!

:beer:

To a car that I will never own for this exact reason. Cheers Honda. Cheers.

I saw this a couple days ago on s2ki

[Vypurr]

Haha! That sucks, but knowing that the dealership was gonna mark that car up 10-12k makes me feel a lot better.

[ThePrimerSuspect]

i have yet to work for a dealer where this type of **** doesnt happen weekly. so why the **** is that left outdoors?

[Kiel]

I laugh more at $30k+ for a Civic. Stupid dealership for leaving it outside.

[james_ls]

I love how they were theft noobs...they only took accessories.

No suspension...nothing worthwhile.

[Kiel]

Seriously. Just steal the whole car rather than taking a badge or two off and the wheels.

BTW its now Mugen RR its a Mugen Si.......but very funny

[dragonfly2k3]

They cant sell the parts. With this new Si, you will only be able to purchase mugen parts straight from honda if you can prove that you own one. They have a list of everything sold. They decided to do this to protect the resale value and legitimacy of each true Mugen Si. Thieves are ****ed if they try to sell it or are even driving around with it on their car.

You do know how easy it is to sell stolen honda parts right? That list of parts don't mean ****. No police officer is gonna stop you to check if you bought those wheels or badges.

[dragonfly2k3]

sadly that is true, but it will be much harder with these. Ebay is diffinately out of the question as is most internet sites.

If it were me stealin it, only the bare chassis would be left and that would be dumped in Camden.

lol..this is the least surprising event in the automotive world in quite a while.

At least Honda got the diehard reaction they wanted..

and btw, lol@a ****ing 40K Honda that's not an NSX. Limited or not, that's a joke. They are what they are.

Saw something kinda like this when I was working for a Honda dealer. Someone asked me to get a car, and go figure, rims were bye-bye. In total, 7 sets of Civic rims, and a set from an RX-8 as well. Made for an interesting afternoon.

eh, just drive on the brake discs.



As for the civic, is it just me, or did they acually do a clean job? Looks like no body damage, and the bare brake discs look ok. Just the window was sloppy.

[den9]

i think its hilarious, they could of stole that car faster than strip it, and probaly not even have to break the window if they were good thieves.

taking a chance of getting caught for stealin dumb accesories?
taking the whole car would almost be worth the risk. (in my shoes nothing would be worth the risk)

[Gorilla Unit 33]

the "dumb" accessories will get them a grand or 2 in the future, unfortunately ever honda owner that dumps good money into there car has to worry about this constantly, wether there car is garaged or not. Its bull****.

[DropTopChevy]

I was expecting the engine to be gone like most hondas.

[turbo4g63]

the same thing happened to like 5 evo's when i worked at jeff dambrosio mitsubishi. I remember they dropped a MR right down on the brembo's....it was painful to look at

[GsrSiHatchie]

this is why i dont own a honda and never will again

[probevette]

Eh its only a civic
