This is an excellent replica of the Spoon Civic Type-R. Every sponsor logo has been replicated as close as possible to the original. Including the Red Honda Badges!
Even the rear spoiler and diffuser has been replicated as close as possible to the original. Nice!!!
This car has been featured in the Marikina CarFest 2009 at SM Marikina last August 29-30, 2009.
Aside from the body modifications shown above which have been done on the FD Honda Civic, if any of you are interested in building your own race ready Spoon Civic Type-R, here are a few items that you’d have to put on your checklist:
- Swap the stock engine and 5-speed transmission for a K20A from the Integra Type-R with 6-speed transmission
- Swap the pistons for the forged metal S2000 pistons. The sleeves have to be altered to accomodate this.
- Have the engine balanced and blueprinted
- Suspension lowered with Spoon Coilovers
- Spoon 4-pot brake calipers
- Lightweight17-inch Wheels with 215/40/17 Tires
- Strip the car of unnecessary mass. The general rule to make Hondas go faster is weight reduction!
These modifications will have you knocking on S2000 territory. Read: 245HP at 8,500RPM!!!
