Happy Friday or weekend! It’s so nice with an extra day off where you can get the things done – the things you’re already behind with. Well I have long list even though I’m not going out soon, but more because I have to fix our damnblue wall a bit, because the lines are not very even. Move-chaos are partially over. Help by my parents, parents in-laws, Rasmus and his brother, the week went incredibly well. It looks like a home soon, although you’re always missing something at first. However, I only need “small things” and not big furniture, only to new desks and coffee tabe. Now the fun part is here – decorating part is very exciting, and I love to decorate things while finding beautiful furniture in secondhand stores. Just look at our cool bar cart (which has been named Roll-Marie) to 300 DKK. You can always find used stuff online, but the types of this bar cart cost over 1000 DKK, so I was on clound 9 when I heard the price. So cute right?
My plans for the weekend are not so exciting as I have to sit in front of my computer and arrange practical things and complete a school project. Otherwise, I’ll watch Billions on HBO, as I’m currently following – besides The Handmaid’s Tale (Season 2 has been published!). Highly recommend from here. 😉
On the blog you will find my kind of storytelling about lifestyle. I hope you will get inspired in some way!
Honda has released the first pictures of the CR-Z Mugen, ahead of its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
After a further 15 per cent increase in power over this ‘stage 1′ engine and with over 50 kg reduced from the chassis, overall performance is set to meet Mugen’s original targets.
That achieved 0-60mph in 6.6 seconds, and the team says the test version has already passed that, thanks to a hike in power to 200bhp and 245Nm of torque.
The regular 1.5 i-VTEC engine develops 113bhp, while Mugen's bolting on a supercharger and fettling the IMA hybrid system for nearer 200bhp and 181lb ft. And Mugen's dieticians have stripped out 50kg of unnecessary heft, to make the CR-Z more agile. The bonnet is made from carbonfibre while the wheels are lightweight Mugen alloys.
Mugen also has upgraded handling and performance, fitting adjustable shocks and large disc brakes, increasing track and reducing weight. Mugen GP 17-inch forged alloy wheels are part of an exterior package that includes front and rear airdams, side skirts and a rear wing.
Development of the supercharged Honda CR-Z is on track, with performance figures already looking promising.
Early tests with a prototype car based on a standard CR-Z and a mid-tune engine have given 0-60mph times around that of the Civic Type R.
After a further 15 per cent increase in power over this 'stage 1' engine and with over 50kg reduced from the chassis, overall performance is set to meet MUGEN's original targets.
"Early fuel consumption tests have also been encouraging," says Colin Whittamore from MUGEN Euro. "We've retained the three driving modes from the standard car and economy ranges from 50+mpg in 'eco' mode to mid-30 mpg when tapping into the supercharged power in a special 'MUGEN' mode."
