In the world of Honda tuning, Spoon Sports has earned a reputation for the highest form of services and products. It is not easy, because Honda builds its engines are already at high levels. Think of the B18 or K20 units from Civic and Integra Type R and S2000 FC20/22 pushing over 100 hp per liter. How can I do this without compromising on durability and ease of use?
We've all heard stories of people bolts on the pod filter and exhaust stack burrows Integra and S2000 in search of gains power, do so in fact they were just the opposite. By the way, can not change the balance between adaptation and providing accurate and exhaust aspirated high compression engines. It is precisely this spirit that pushed the spoon to refine these plants, instead of "Disturb" from its natural equilibrium.
Once we found a spoon and arm type had its last demonstration vehicle that goes straight to his studio in Tokyo. We were greeted by Mr. Ichishima who immediately went to greet that leads us to a few floors of the headquarters of a spoon, where the construction zone of the work of the engine. We were allowed to take pictures and follow theprocess of building a motor-FC20, now suspicious of Naoki Yoshida, became the head of technical department established. Yoshida showed us some interesting pieces, like F20C and K20 dry sump kits, exhaust manifolds, prototypes of finely polished head and told us about some of the parties and makes the work of a spoon. Have we learned that the spoon mounted chassis and the level of detail that the company is known for even extends to the fine-tuning of springs according to their weight, so that a total of four damper kit offers the best performance and feel when used in a customer's vehicle. You will not find this kind of attention to detail in the race car.
Within walking distance of the seat of Spoon is the kind of a workshop, a two-storey building, built in the dumpsters, well maintained and cared for. They put us in the region where the main work, "Our car" waiting for us. Sitting in a dark corner of the workshop, the new S2000 demo car greets us with its end, incredible. Spoon has never been something like that will always prefer having to deal with the simple setup and so far has never been so much attention to body kits most over-done. However, his latest effort is just beautiful, a true testament quality and style of their work. The S2000 creates a condensed visual effect, reminiscent of a few minutes to review all the details and lines of race as the body kit made. This kit was made to bring the customer the ability a spoon pedigree to run the company on the road. It all starts with the aggressive front bumper of the car directly from S2000 Taikyu great career which has taken a large central air cooling air to the radiator, while a cold air intake a breath of fresh air to the airbox, C is through the air inside the engine room. lead Foglight large reflectors are at the heart of all of the bumper, while the side of the request, small to have to direct air to the front brakes.
In addition to the aggressive defense of the hood to suck hot air from the engine compartment, allowing air vents and gills. The front fenders widen the car marginally, but the design is a significant change in the presence of S2000. Its Super GT OpenType section on the side of the door is the point of sale of such equipment by the very visible line of defense is higher than working level. The rear fenders were in a more raw, stuck in the wing was extended. The rear bumper has a long profile with a feeling that something edgy design and combined with two large square openings on both sides to work together with the lower carbon diffuser to expel air the car. A large GT-style wing destroyed at the rear of the car, but the coupe roof vane, which play an important role in achieving the look of the new game package. The closing of the S2000 with the top shell completely transforms your profileand it takes a step closer to the car Super Taikyu which uses exactly the same role. A series of 17-inch Racing wheels Volk contrast matte bronze body and perfect pure white, shod with sticky Bridgestone Potenza RE-01RS have to play as much grip S2000.
Development is the specialty of the F20C spoon and sits with yellow cap in the engine room perfectly illustrates that. Almost everything you see, the factory, only a few details such as carbon fiber and Kevlar cover plug and play air flow, which is not normal Honda engine. Take a look and see the exhaust manifold soldier knows how to combine the dual exhaust system N1 host. Most of the work has, however, the engine was done carefully restored with great attention to detail. All engine components are finely balanced, with tight tolerances to ensure the best performance in all speed ranges. He won a good bit of polish and a new series of camshafts at high altitude, that help to extract more power to 275 hp at 8600 rpm to be exact. The engine transmission mounted on a cylinder more difficult. Once you start the engine of life of the oscillations are fairly obvious. The transmission itself was built from a spoon and return a matching uses specially designed steering wheel and clutch installed. The drive shaft, such as drive shafts, the spoon is changed lighter weight and spacers evaluated. The rear differential has an element of a spoon were demolished and all on hard tops, ensuring less play in the drive train. Management has been low-friction bearings for a natural feel and directly adapted. Adjustable shock absorbers Spoon found their place in the car and 14 kg / mm front springs and 12 kg / mm rear springs. Spoon made a major new product that is the lack of rigidity in the front upper wishbone mounts. To address this critical area of ??a framework was developed from high strength steel and to provide soldiers in the position of a solid mounting point he has no problem all the abuses of the suspension the spear. Nissin monobloc brakes Care brand are spoon front brake calipers. Spoon pads, high-friction brakes deliver strong with no signs of fading.The full S2000 widebody kit is already on sale.
