Hello from King Motorsports

[Ausmith]

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to drop a quick note here and say hello to the EP crowd. I'll be around on the board if you have any technical EP or K Series questions.

For those who are not familar, King Motorsports has been building fast Hondas for over 20 years. We've got an extensive background in road racing, but we do a lot of work on street and show cars as well.

See you all around...

Clayton

Word of mouth - lurking around... My girlfriend Civic_Sista has been a member of this site for a while.

I'm really looking forward to having some good daily interaction with everyone and devloping some good relationships.

Is anyone here from the Midwest? Planning on attending any track events, autocross, or shows this year?

[Mugen_EP]

I am the ultimate Mugen whore and was looking into that digital dash for quite some time. Will it be released in the future?

I'll check and see what I can come up with. It's definately not a production part. Perhaps it is from one of the F3000 cars.

Were you planning on putting that in your street car?

Yes and I was hoping to include the digital dash with my purchase.:D So any information on both of these products would be great.

wow...the digital dash looks like a popular item that EVERYONE wants.. hehe I know I do.. but with mugen prices, even if it is produced, I probably wont be able to afford it.

[ep3hatchattack]

[LHD_EP3]

I dig the furry steering wheel but I'd have to say that it is very foolish to remove the stock steering wheel equipped with an airbag and probably quite illegal in most states:)

IIRC there is no legal repercussions from removing your airbag-enabled steering wheel. It is a supplemental restraint system, meaning that the seatbelt is the primary and most important part.

Okay, so guess it isn't illegal but still IMO very foolish

[Mugen Power]

I dunno, from around these parts, if your airbag deployed and you didn't get it replaced, you won't pass inspection. I don't see how it would be different if you replaced the whole steering wheel. Besides, isn't it mandatory for cars to come with airbags nowadays? I think those steering wheels without SRS usually have an "off-road use only" disclaimer.

DTR

But wouldn't it still be Mugen's decision whether or not to release products for the K20A3/USDM EP? King's only the distributor but hopefully what we ask won't fall on deaf ears...

[Ausmith]

Hi everyone - a few updates based on questions in this thread.

Mugen Digital Dash: it is still in the prototype phase. We do not have a release date at this time. I'll be sure to update everyone here as soon as I hear anything new.

Mugen EP3 USDM Exhaust: Working on it....

EP3/K20A USDM Products: Indeed, Mugen makes the final decisions on what products to produce. As their distributor for North America we are continuously keeping them up to speed on the market dynamics here, and of course providing them suggestions on which products the market is interested in. Your feedback is important, so feel free to let me know.

Events: We'll be out and about quite a bit this year. We'll be at many of the autocross events in the midwest, track events, ITR expo, and Hot Import Nights in Chicago. There will be other events, but those are what come to mind as I write this. If you happen to see us, please don't be bashful. I'm always willing to help out, chat, whatever....

I assume you were being sarcastic about the Scott comment? He's still the owner and the boss-man.

Bob moved on to Pegasus racing.

I wasn't seeling high end office furniture per say - I was the Director of Marketing at Techline USA - a manufacturer.

Tell Matt he's still slow ;)

[STP03BlueSI]

Will you guys be at the Tuner bash in daytona this year or NOPI Nationals in Sept?

[DynaSpeed]

Tell Matt he's still slow

Are you the Clayton that crashed his ITR at Gingerman last year?

[Ausmith]

NOPI is a maybe....

We'll be at HIN in Chicago and we'll have some cars with Honda at IAS.

Other than that we'll be out and about at track days and autocross most of the summer.

I'm Clayton who's father crashed his ITR at Gingerman last year....

But yeah that is me.

[DynaSpeed]

I'm Clayton who's father crashed his ITR at Gingerman last year.... ohh... wow, tough situation. How did that turn out? I think I overheard you talking about just parting and scrapping it out last year after it happened. Will I see you again at Lapping Days this summer?

[Ausmith]

Wrote the car off and took all the Type R stuff and put it into a 95 hatch.

[jdmpwr]

Clayton, Jensen says your a buster!!!! Wasn't tryin to be a smartass about your last job, that just all I remembered about your last job is it had to do with the manufacturering of Office Furniture or sales of. Also the comment about Scott was serious..........JK

What is Pegusas Racing? I am just saying Bob was a very nice friendly guy and he will be missed by some people in the Industry and Customers as well.

[00-ITR-373]

Not to keep bugging King - but just want to voice the demand for Intake/Header/and Exhaust. There are some on here who will actually buy the products. It's been a loooooong wait, but it seems like the exhaust is almost here. Hopefully the header is next and then an intake?!

[potator]
