hate to break it to you but if you bought it off ebay then chances are they are knockoffs. i would tell you which of the 3 items above are fake but its pointless now since you already bought them. in any case i wonder how that shift knob feels? looks uncomfortable.

It is RICE. and yeah if you got them from ebay they are probably not real.
Also, i don't know what kind motor mount that is, i don't think it will even work for your cars.

Its funny how everything is Rice to someone now a days. Even rare parts for a 3gee. I highly doubt they are fake because they are coming all the way from Hong Kong. If I bought them here in the U.S. then I would question it.

actually most fake parts come from hong kong, it is part of china. That is where all the fake parts made anyway. If you want real mugen parts, they have to come from authorized mugen dealer or directly from Mugen in japan.
there is no such thing as mugen hong kong.

89l_x_i
01-28-2007, 11:29 AM
Yep just like shepherd said, if its from hong kong then its 99% fake. Both the gas cover and the oil cap are fake. I dont know if anyone else can tell but as soon as i saw them i knew they were fake. How? Mugen never made a gas lid cover. And that mugen oil cap is fake because well it looks fake plus its only 22 bucks a real mugen cap goes for 80 bucks. Back when i was going mugen with my 3g i looked at many sites and products to make sure i was gonna get real authentic mugen parts. So i can easily tell whats fake and not. The only authorized mugen dealer in the US is king motor sports. Once you look at theyr stuff and see how much you have to paid youll see that 99% of everything out there is fake.

bullard123
01-28-2007, 12:37 PM
Oh well if they are replicas that will work for me. Im not trying to build my entire car mugen. Plus if they were fake the parts will be floating around everywhere which doesn't seem to be the case.

89l_x_i
01-28-2007, 02:23 PM
Actually fake parts are EVERYWHERE type mugen parts on any search engine and ebay and 90% of it is fake. At least you didnt pay anywhere near what the real parts go. In any case im not sure how it works with show cars so i doubt anyone will try to prove they are real or fake.

Yeah other than that I can't see much difference. Too hard to tell and I got mine $60 bucks cheaper than that one and who knows if it is authentic or not. Even if the authentic mugen parts were on ebay they would still be cheaper than these websites imo.

if its a fake cap you will be able to remove the mugen logo from the actual cap. they put the logos on a separate aluminum coin. then they glue that coin into the actual cap

Agreed. There was a mag not to long ago maybe 2 or 3 months ago that had a whole section of the mag dedicated to fake parts and how some affect your performance and can even endangered your car. Il see if i can find that magize i think it might have been sport compact.

what in the hell are you thinking buying mugen?
what in the hell are you thinking buying mugen on Ebay?
what in the hell are you thinking buying Mugen Shift Knobs on Ebay?

1. mugen + 3g = rice. theres no other way around imo. theres a reason why mugen doesn't carry a line of 3g products...

2. mugen + ebay x good deal = fake. i dont care if you car that it's fake, i'm just telling you it is 99.9999% of the time.

3. why the hell do you need a mugen shift knob anyways......? cause it's cool, lol maybe to the dumb kids in highschool who want a skyline cause they saw it in the fast and the furious...

seems to me like you've got more money than sense... even if it's only 20$...

you might have a very rare find for it being a b20 in america. but you've definately lost some respect i've had for you...

I dont see what the big deal about Mugen parts are? It's Mugen, so what? Just because a part is from Japan doesn't make it a better quality or better performing product like so many sport compact car enthusiast's, especailly Honda owners, seem to think. Especially on parts as trivial as shift knobs and oil caps. And even if it isnt fake, it still isnt rice because it still peforms a function. It seems like people have forgotten the meaning of "rice" these days. Big "GTR style" wings on a 3G=rice! Most FWD cars, especially a 110 WHP 2700lb. car, doesn't need a wing like that because as we all know they dont go that fast and dont need that kinda downforce. A Mugen shift knob, authentic or otherwise, isnt rice because real or not it still serves as a functional item. I say be smart with your money and just go with the cheaper one. If for some unknown reason your shift knob or you oil cap some how or other fails on you, or get's stolen your only out like 20 bucks.

I agree with you, but realy, whi bye? when you cam make or build your self, and it will not be RICE. It gona be costoum made, more points if this you gyes after.

IMO I agree with Jspec1 100%... the term rice gets thrown around way too often, with most people not really knowing what it means.

I'm not a big fan of knock-off parts, but for things like an oil cap or shift knob, who gives a shit, it's your car, do what you like.

Also, I had a mugen shift knob a while back, got it off a friend for $40 when I was going to do a 5spd swap on my old car... they do feel quite nice, but was kind of small for my liking.

And you sir are a tool... you should stop digging yourself into a hole.

I am sure that Mugen can make much better performing/quality products then your home-made shit... now pull your head out of your ass and learn something before you make stupid posts like that. Fuckin n00b

so what you are saying is lets not buy mugen suspension and lets cut our stock springs and enjoy the bouncy POS ride.
Mugen has been making parts for Honda before you were born son. They know a few things about performance and how it should be done.

yes they don't make 3G parts anymore, but the parts they made are a lot better quality than some other garbage you will find on ebay.

So if you think you can make your own suspension and other performance parts go a head, but i think i will trust some one who has a little more experience with cars.

Hahaha Mugen, Rice? That's a good one!

I guess the Turbo kits they made back then for the ZC were rice, that the valve springs and cams were rice. The XE5 race ECU program too was rice.

Check the Mugen parts catalog for our car, I guess it's all rice stuff too huh? An adjustable damper suspension must also be rice, that's why they have that from the factory in the new RDX...

You funny man. How exactly does mugen equal rice? It's usually tastefully done styling, brake upgrades, suspension upgrades, and performance engine parts. What exactly is your definition of rice that mugen fits in there? Where would you get aftermarket parts if you didn't buy them? Garbage picking? Are you sure those people really respect you or are they just humoring you? Do they tell you that, and how old are these people anyway? Are they your parents?

If you have original parts from Mugen - with all paper to prove, then its not a rice.

All Mugen budges on trunkled is rice on 3Gee 100%. Its just thet simple. Its like a BMW e36 316iA. With a M3 badge on it. So RICE.

But if you realy want ppl to respect you, then just ShutUp and do you'r thing...
edit:They who louth now will be egmiering you one day... Know this on mi own skeen.

I guess Mugen becomes rice to someone who doesn't have any taste. Who in their right mind could call super rare, expensive, quality Honda parts rice? It seems to me that some people try to "put down" things they know they would never have or can't afford. If I had the money I would definately invest in more Mugen parts for my car.

Dont worry about it bullard. If it looks nice and its what you like hey do it. If i was going for more looks I wought have bought a dc cap along time ago to match my strut bar but unfortunately I need the money for more hp requiring goals.:D

nskforlife = tool

The mans looking for something that looks nice and does what its intended to do. Do those parts look nice? YES

Do those parts do the job they are intended to do? YES

The problem?
ITs the internet homey so relax if you take it to seriously you'll wind up sitting on your moms computer with tears running down your eyes.

I've been off this thread, but I feel compelled to jump in and throw my support up for Bullard. Dude, you're building a show car, and a damn nice one at that. How many show cars have B20As under the hood? Problem is, when you build a show car, there's always going to be haters calling your shit rice. That's because they use their spare time to talk shit on the internet. The time they spend "modding" their cars is usually spent putting a muffler on their car or some other pointless mod that does absolutely nothing by itself.

So keep your chin up, and remember that you'll always have the respect of those who appreciate hard work and attention to detail.

Agreed. Well put too. Yeah I know that there are going to be haters no matter what you do to your ride. But Im still glad that there are some who are inspired by what I put into my car. I know that there are a lot of other members on here who know what Im talking about.

03-06-2007, 09:37 PM
i've been out for a while, not to try to get on everyones back or bring up the grave but here i go...


Oh I forgot you probably are a high school kid yourself still riding around in a stock accord
i'm out of school, good try tho.
and your right, my accord is stock performance-wise. Why is it stock you say, Cause i'm not about to throw money into a car which isn't going to be worth it in the long run. It meets my needs and that need is to be my daily commuter.


I am sure that Mugen can make much better performing/quality products then your home-made shit... now pull your head out of your ass and learn something before you make stupid posts like that. Fuckin n00b
Lol. so the oil cap should be like what, +5hp and the shift knob should decrease shift time in 1/2sec.?????
cause no one ever makes shift knobs as good as mugen. oil caps either...Theres your Fuckin n00b...


so what you are saying is lets not buy mugen suspension and lets cut our stock springs and enjoy the bouncy POS ride. . nope. that would n't be advised.


Mugen has been making parts for Honda before you were born son. They know a few things about performance and how it should be done. i can guarantee you they know more than most. but that still doesn't mean that theres a benefit from oil caps and shift knobs.


yes they don't make 3G parts anymore, but the parts they made are a lot better quality than some other garbage you will find on ebay.
hence why i wouldn't recommend getting auto parts from ebay... too many knockoffs illegit people on there. and didn't he get his Mugen stuff from that very place???


So if you think you can make your own suspension and other performance parts go a head, but i think i will trust some one who has a little more experience with cars. i didn't say im gonna go get out there and fab up my own springs. but when it comes to style, if you diy, you earn more points than mr.money maker over here who took it to a shop and waited a couple hours for his stuff to be done.


PS. if i am not mistaken you are the one who is asking me all stupid questions on IM all the time. You don't even know where brake booster is. open a manual sit down on toilet and start reading. ya, i do ask you random questions. 90% of them come from experience with something i have yet to have as much under my belt as you, and i know where the brake booster is.


I guess the Turbo kits they made back then for the ZC were rice, that the valve springs and cams were rice. The XE5 race ECU program too was rice. and i also bet that the zc turbo kit wasn't the best bang for your buck also, neither the valve springs, or cams. and why use an ecu with a map not calibrated for your setup. go get your car tuned, or tune it yourself using crome, turboedit, etc...


you make all your own parts and people respect you for it huh na. nor do i claim to. but if i want to CUSTOMIZE my CAR, i Will and it's something within my reach to CUSTOM Fabricate. I will CUSTOM MAKE IT and not buy it off of eBay...


You funny man. How exactly does mugen equal rice? It's usually tastefully done styling, brake upgrades, suspension upgrades, and performance engine parts. What exactly is your definition of rice that mugen fits in there? Where would you get aftermarket parts if you didn't buy them? Garbage picking? Are you sure those people really respect you or are they just humoring you? Do they tell you that, and how old are these people anyway? Are they your parents?
so what mugen performance products do you see on his car....... a oil cap and shift knob. . . ya that's it.... nothing on his car has any advantages over oem equipment. and suits only looks, the shift knob isn't unique, neither is the oil cap. nothing great about it. just something to catch your eye with japanese lettering. thats why i consider it rice. and i would buy aftermarket parts that served an actual purpose... and these people, they aren't my grandparents, most of them have fast cars and tricked out rides.


All Mugen budges on trunkled is rice on 3Gee 100%.
i have the same concept. except this is going to the for the complete car...


I guess Mugen becomes rice to someone who doesn't have any taste. Who in their right mind could call super rare, expensive, quality Honda parts rice? It seems to me that some people try to "put down" things they know they would never have or can't afford. If I had the money I would definately invest in more Mugen parts for my car. having mugen styling parts on your 3g isn't tasteful imo. and after you see plenty of cars with mugen oil caps, or mugen shift knobs, or look-a-likes, it gets old and becomes unoriginal. if you want style. i say be unique. get a integra type r shift knob and powdercoat your engine accessories. that will get you looks and respect, not mugen.


there's always going to be haters calling your shit rice. That's because they use their spare time to talk shit on the internet. The time they spend "modding" their cars is usually spent putting a muffler on their car or some other pointless mod that does absolutely nothing by itself.

So keep your chin up, and remember that you'll always have the respect of those who appreciate hard work and attention to detail.

ya, cause i always throw on a new ebay muffler every week or so... and whats more pointless than a shift knob and oil cap...
and to clear things up, i dont think your rides rice, i think throwing a mugen shift knob and oil cap is ricey. and i'm not hating on your car. mugen just wasn't made to be on your crankcase or shifter.

Dude, maybe he just like how the stuff looks. You can't argue with opinion, and that's what you're trying to do. Who cares if he swaps parts from other cars, who cares if it's OEM or not, who cares if it affects performance.

Someone who is good at something, will know what they can't and can't do. MOST people aren't good at doing bodywork and paint. It takes years of expereince and practice, and maybe he didn't want to do it himself. It takes a smart person to send it to the shop and not do it yourself and have it look like a pile of crap.

I think the point everybody is trying to make is, if you want to say something negative, just don't. Maybe his car meets his needs, just like your stock Accord meets yours.

X2. Nskfor life Im not building a drag car or stock car or something like that. You have to to look things from a different perspective before you post negative remarks. How many 3 gee show cars do you see out there? Beleive me not many. I consider my car to be very rare because you don't see too many fixed up like all the civics and integras etc. So to me its an investment and the older it gets the better it will be for me. Although I want to have a lil performance also, thats why Im putting the B20a in there . As soon as I get the right transmission lol. But I want to represent this whole 3gee communitity when I put my car out at shows.

i can understand that and respect you for that. i guess i'm anal about things. i dont know. i know i sound like an asshole on this board. but man, if you live where i live, 90% of the people who drive these car think mugen + apc stickers = their photo on the cover of modified mag. i just have my own taste just like you. i just consider the whole accessory thing a big turnoff if your car doesn't have a bulkier mod on it. i'd rather see a sleek car rather than 4 different logos in the engine bay on parts that have mo affect. but in the end, it's your car. have fun with it and good luck.

i'm really not an asshole. i just despise some theorys people have about mugen...

and i think you need something else better to do.

EVERYONE has a different opinion on what they like... some people (like you) like the stock and slow look.

some people like the stock and fast look (accord epicenter)

some people like the modded and slow look (that one guy with the 2g and the multicolor engine)

some people like the modded and fast look.

it all depends one what you like, and absolutely not

Yeah you are right , you are entitled to your own opinion. I am satisfied with what I paid for. I got this oil cap because its going to go good with my new valve cover. But its just the way you come off about the whole deal. It might not be your taste but you can still be respectful about it. If you showed me some pics of your car I probably wouldn't like everything about it but I would still point out things that I would like about it.

i'll remember that next time...
but i'd rather have all feedback from what i do rather than just hear the good stuff...
example you ask???? i got jl audio tr650 component speakers for my front. they WILL NOT BOLT UP without modifications. so i had to get 3/4mdf board and make a spacer ring at with an internal angle parallel with the slope of the speaker for it to mount to. i also had to cut off a bigger circle in the door panel to get them to fit properly. the stock speaker cover will not work now so i'm kinda stuck at a standstill until i can get a router. once i get a router, i will glue 2 pieces of mdf together, and try to get them to look as close to stock as possible also with using the stock mounting holes for screws. but for now, my speakers are bolted up to the door with a 3/4 mdf board seen and then the speaker. ya, it doesn't look great. but it sounds awesome. some people think it looks like shit, others dont. but i still try to comprehend why some people think it looks like shit. cause i'm always looking for room of improvement... so dont get me wrong when i say something that pisses anyone off, i just wanted my .02 to be heard.

btw: if any one is looking to upgrade speakers, i HIGHLY recommend getting jl audio tr650 2way components, they are by far the best bang for your buck ( i got mine for 110$) they sound soo clean that you can tell the difference between an actual cd and a ripped mp3. my friend is big into acoustical guitar music and you can hear the pic hit the strings.... thats how good they are
