As you all might know, Mugen (M-Tec) will be discontinuing some parts for the EP3 if they have not already. Currently, the following items will be discontinued or are currently discontinued.

02-03 Mugen Front Aero Lip
02-03 Mugen Front Aero Grille
02-03 Mugen Radiator Duct

So, order away if you can. For those of you that I PM'ed before the crash about the radiator duct, I can get only 1 brand new, but the price will have to be via PM and it's a little hefty.

BTW, you will have to order directly from Japan to get the radiator (Josh or Ron) =)

yes, they have the same product number for both models. unfortunately, they are discontinued for both cars.

i'm still trying to find a source right now, it's kind of hard because not too many people bought the mugen version ep3s in japan. however, i know for sure that m-tec only has about 5 brand new radiator ducts left in stock, but they are going for $525 a piece.

if they can possibly find a mold, that would be sick. of course, it won't be dry carbon because they would never use dry carbon.

supreme
04-22-2008, 05:04 AM
yeah someone should volunteer theirs and drop it off at seibon or vis and them make a mold! im pretty sure they will get atleast 10 orders in.

Who do you source your parts through Windchaser? JDM friends?

I don't need anything but want a grill for possible future use and maybe a lip as well.... I don't know, but this shit doesn't go down in price after its discontinued thats for sure.

and $525 for the duct.... wow..... gotta pay to play I guess..... sooooo tempting haha.

04-22-2008, 07:35 AM
Hopefully JapanParts can still get the grill.... order just placed haha... just what I needed to frickin spend more money.

does the original that the mold is made from destroyed?... If not, maybe me and seibon can have a chat

also, can you install a mugen radiator duct on an already painted bumper?

88crx
04-22-2008, 08:06 AM
I'd assume so.... as long as you have a steady hand with a dremel haha.

More importantly does the mugen grill require any body work for it to fit or can I just getting painted and slap it on myself?

BaLisTek
04-22-2008, 08:07 AM

thats rediculous $525 for a radiator duct. i really hope seibon or vis makes replica's of it, cause i would buy it.

Windchaser

when mugen discontinue things, the original mold gets destroyed for copyright purposes and to protect their design.

do guys honestly want a CF or FRP version of the radiator duct? i mean, the purpose is to get the dry CF version because it weighs lighter than the section u cut out to fit the duct. anyways, someone should talk to seibon =) LOL . . . fuck paying $525!

you can still order the grille from kings. it will probably be the same price. kings bump up their prices according to what m-tec's current market value for the product is at that time.

woah thanks for the heads up! i know the steering wheel was discontinued a while back. the racing II wheel iirc. mugen just introduced their new steering wheel but i want the old one. do you know if the wing will be discontinued anytime soon as well?

04-22-2008, 03:12 PM
damn i just checked king's site. so the radiator duct is discontinued but does king still have some leftover? i wanted the lip grill, raditor duct, and wing. but i was waiting till later down the road when i was to get my car repainted to order these things.

i may just have to purchase some of these things now.

oh and can we sticky this?

I hate the way that the rad duct looks, fuck cutting a hole in my bumper for a silly 525$ 'duct'... what the shit does the thing even do, channel more air to the radiator??

b.r.i.a.n.
04-22-2008, 03:56 PM
so i was looking at japanparts.com and they no longer carry the radiator duct either. they still carry the grill and lip and they actually have them cheaper than king but i don't know how much shipping will be.

they already went up in price twice! the mugen lip use to be $575 . . . it went up to $625 for a month and is now $650 i think (without shipping). i bought my mugen racing 3 steering wheel for only $300 shipped and it is now at $400 + shipping.

the racing 3 steering wheel is the same thing. it is still suede with 350mm diameter. the only differences are the colored logo on the steering and the colored horn button.

BTW, japanparts only does air shipping to the U.S.

ahh ok good to know. so with air shipping i guess the final price will be about the same as king right?

i think i'm going to pull the trigger and buy some of these parts tonight lol.

well i'm looking at ordering the lip and grill at the same time. it's about a $100 dollar difference with japanparts.com being cheaper but this is before shipping. i still have to e-mail them so they can give me a quote on shipping.

Wow, looks like these parts will be even more expensive due to their increasing rarity. Terrible for those of us who don't have these parts already.
