iM Feature: Darren’s Mugen DC5

iM Feature: Darren’s Mugen DC5

Ever since last year I’ve spotted this RSX/Integra rolling around here and there and I’ve always drooled over how nicely put together it is and how clean it looked. The thing I loved most was the wing. At one point, I wanted an RSX to create this exact look.

Fast forward to a year later and I get the opportunity to shoot this clean queen. Since last year, it’s been equipped with Rota Grids in 17×9.5 +30 wrapped with 235/40/17 yokohama s-drives. with that concave face making the stance of the car super mean. The all around mugen look including the aggressive wing makes it hard not to stare at.


With most shoots, comes some big risks. Several times during this shoot, we encountered some sick locations but in order to get to them required swerving, maneuvering, and crawling over huge potholes and mud terrain. And several of those times, Darren’s whip ended up taking some hits but not without some good pictures – so kudos to Darren for taking it where we needed it to get the shots you see.

Darren also added to the detail by having Mugen pedals, Mugen lugnuts, Mugen shiftknob and a Mugen tower bar. To help with the go parts, a Hondata reflash and an Injen CAI tops it off.

      How wide are the wheels? For a DC2 – if the wheel specs are not aggressive, 205/40 would be ideal.

      205/40 would be my personal choice. That should fit fine.
