The Chevrolet Trax is the successor to the Chevrolet Spark in all but name, being a 4-door minicar with a 1 liter engine. Like the Spark/Matiz, it was developed by Daewoo. The new Chevrolet Trax is built on a new global platform for small cars that will also be the base for other future GM small cars like the Opel Corsa. It’s body is two-toned coloured: Blaze Orange for the upper part and a Burnt Orange matte finish for the lower half. It is still a concept car at this point of time.

Now upon reading the title, I bet the first question that most of you will be asking is this: does the MUGEN Civic Type R come with the 300hp supercharged version of the high revving K20 motor found in the MUGEN Civic Dominator Concept? The answer is no. A pity, but life goes on. Now on to what the MUGEN has instead of what it does not have.

The MUGEN Civic Type R comes with a bodykit all-round: front lip, grille, a vented bonnet design, a GT-like rear wing and a diffuser-design rear bumper. It has uprated brakes over the standard Civic Type R (320mm front and 282mm), uprated brake pads (two choices: sport or competition), as well as a micromesh brake line. Wheels are 18 inch aluminium MUGEN GP wheels, similiar to the ones found on the local Honda Civic Concept MUGEN Limited Edition.

On the handling side, you’ve got a MUGEN sports suspension. Changes to the engine bay are not much, just a MUGEN performance airbox to let the engine breathe freeer, improving throttle response and maybe a bit more power. On the interior, you get MUGEN Full Bucket Seats, a MUGEN shift knob, and additional meter panels (a 3-dial cluster to the left of the Multiplex meter) providing extra information on the condition of your car.

I’ve already began to act on some of the suggestions that you’ve given in the currently on-going survey. One of the most requested features was an improved search function, as Wordpress search is pretty much very basic with limited functionality, purely keyword based and chronologically ordered without any regard to relevance at all.

What I’ve done to make the search better is integrate Google’s amazing search engine into this blog. All you have to do is choose the paultan.org radio button and it will perform a search based on your keywords on all the articles in this blog. Much better, and more relevant. It make it easier for you to do whatever research you have to do.

P/S: If you haven’t done the survey, please do it if you have time! Completely 100% optional of course.

I am currently conducting a reader demographic survey for all readers of this site. It will only take up a few minutes of your time, perhaps even less than five, but it will really help me alot in planning the future direction for this site’s development. So please help me out here, your time is very very much appreciated!

Take the survey!
