The interior of Mel's EP3. Nicely done!

After the 1984 SCCA race season we turned our attention to the IMSA Radial Sedan series. This is our RS Prelude pictured at Daytona in 1985. Champion Spark Plug sponsored this series. Champion ran full page ads promoting the series. They featured our car under the heading "World's fastest Prelude" which was very cool. Gotta find that ad........

One of our favorite versions of the Prelude was of course the Prelude Si. Back then it was priced around 12K which was big money in 86-87, but- what a car!

We recently came across a 3D artist from Australia via smcars.net who took it upon himself to craft a digital version of the venerable Mugen CR-X PRO.2, using only reference photography and mad artistic skill. The results are beautiful and take us back!

His model even has a full interior.

Here is one one his near-final renders with textures, lighting and a ton of detail tweaks:

If you've been eyeing a genuine Mugen body kit for your DC5 RSX, now's the time to act! Supplies are limited on these amazing pieces. We carry the front lip, side skirts, rear lip, adjustable wing and more.

Here is our store link for all DC5 RSX aero kits and spoilers.

As with most Mugen body parts, fitment is OEM-quality with all necessary hardware included.

The front lip continues the center line crease and flows into a splitter-inspired contour at the outer edges.

The rear lip has a chiseled flare that lines up perfectly with the rear lip. The rear lip adds lines and a center cut out that evoke F1 diffusers and tail lights.

The aggressive Mugen wing is adjustable and combines superior engineering, style and function.

This is a classic print piece designed and distrubuted by Mugen, circa 1990. This tidy introduction gave the American market a glimpse into Mugen's reach and set the stage for the next decade.

1984 Honda CRX built from the ground up for SCCA C-Street Prepared battles.

Mugen header, Mugen Limited Slip, all Mugen suspension bushings and engine mounts. The EW1 Si motor was meticulously blueprinted and balanced by King Motorsports. Other modifications include TWM individual throttle bodies, Electromotive Tech 2 engine management, YAWSPORT adjustable pan hard rod, YAWSPORT adjustable rear sway bar, custom camber/caster plates and 27.5mm front torsion bars, 13x9" Panasport wheels.

Nearly every part of the car was new, refurbished or modified. The entire uni-body was stripped, powder coated white, then all seam filler and undercoating reapplied. It scaled in at well below 1600 lbs with 3/4 tank of gas. It was complimented by many to be the cleanest, most thoroughly prepared autocross CRX's in the country and the car and its drivers accumulated numerous Regional, Divisional and National podium finishes from 1996-2001. This included an open class win at the 1998 SCCA Pro Solo finale and a second place finish in Open and Ladies class at the National Solo Championships in Topeka Kansas. The car is still alive and well with its new owner and the original King-built motor is still running as strong as ever.

King Motorsports is excited to announce the first shipment of Mugen XJ wheels will arrive at the end of this month to our facility in Wisconsin. These amazing new wheels have a distinct chiseled design that balances performance and style-- all built to Mugen's legendary standards of quality, strength and finish. The Mugen XJ wheel will be available in 16, 17, 18 and 19" sizing. Call us at (262) 522-7558 for more information and to order!

The wheels are currently available at special pricing until September 31, 2012.

Back in April 2001, we made it out to the S2000 (S2K) Days in Asheville NC. The King Motorsports SS2000 and S2200 join the S2K crew for a spirited drive amongst the scenic Blue Ridge mountains. Photos courtesy Juliann Pokorny (Thanks Juliann!!)

What we consider the best shot of the SS2000! From the West Coast beat down tour :)

Commander Brad leads the pack and receives his first Honor Badge of the trip- when a rock flies off a passing car and lands squarely on his hood- OUCH! We pull over to commiserate....

The KMS SS2000 and S2200 pause for photo op in the Blue Ridge mountains.

Here's the OG KMS facility in Sullivan WI.  The "Mistress" is being serviced with the GAC ITR on the rack between races. From the looks of the front bumper Bob may have wanted to occupy the same space as the car in front of him..... :)

The SS2000 at Laguna Seca. IIRC the NA SS2000 put all the boosted West Coast S2000's to shame that day. Just sayin......

1998 Road Atlanta ARRC race: SCCA ITA CRX driven by Kevin Bonneau, prepped by King Motorsports.

Getting really aggressive with the curbing became the key to a good lap time after Road Atlanta was reconfigured. Here Pierre Kleinubing demonstrates :)

1998 Victory lap for Kevin Bonneau in the KMS prepped ITA CRX. Back then the ITA fields were quite large and the CRX was the dominant car. Now the fields are smaller, and the CRX is still a front runner! What a great car!

Not wanting to disappoint any attendees, King's CEO pulled these super special key holders out of his top secret private stash to include in the final goodie bags. If you attended the 2011 Dyno Day and got one of these, you received very special key holders!
