Visiting Spoon Sports USA: The Purest Hondas, But On American Soil

Honduz....
I've spent a large portion of my career shooting Hondas, especially ones from the guys over at Spoon. After my visit to Spoon Type One in Japan, I knew I had to finish it off with a visit to their US headquarters in Southern California.

[@Toxic88088]

So this is where hector got his 3 spoon engines for his Honda civic🤔

[@EpicTube84]

After 22 years we finally know 🤦‍♂️🤣🤣

[@Hatfieldzeke83]

Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣 💯%

[@mechanicandi1064]

Yooooo 🤣🤣🤣

[@ylee280]

Joe, no. Hector most likely got his motors from Spoon Sports Japan.

[@Toxic88088]

@@ylee280 ah yes, good ol overnight parts from Japan!

[@m1lkb0xx]

I’m more impressed on how close they parked the cars next to each other

[@danielsoon0302]

What a dream to drive a Spoon Fit..

[@Splenectomy0]

As a life long Honda kid this tickles so many spots

[@MattBorchert]

That top has a beautiful organic look to it. Like the skeleton of a strange sea creature haha.

[@donsantana07]

That guy reminds me of my snap-on dealer. P1 - “This is the cutest shifter too🥺” P2 - “That’s a spoon shift knob😏”

[@mtbrickhouse6292]

Does that white Ferrari FF have a Spoon engine? 🤣

[@LarryChenPhoto]

Thanks for watching guys, If you want to support what we do here make sure you pick up some art for your walls: larrychenprints.com/

*When Aaron said "It's like being on a ball and it rotates under you" then Larry said "Ahhhh" just like I did* 😂😂😂

[@ramonbriones4487]

Atta boy! Keep the honda content coming!

[@jesseperrella]

That garage gives me goose bumps.

[@Goodman-4525]

When you closed the fit's driver door I was expecting a huge clang not the same sound from my dad's Jazz 😂

[@qrtrscale]

I have one of those shift knobs on my 2004 Honda Insight, that's where all the similarities end (except for the Type One sticker!)

[@familytruckster2009]

Love the fit.

[@BrewedMotorsports]

I have done a few retired non vin fd2 race cars over the years. Honda Japan sold them for race use around asia mostly for 2L touring car series. They seem to get handed around the industry/race teams and many end up in SE Asia. Super cool cars and the turbo spoon car is a huge improvement over the normal NA fd2 race cars.

[@JDMEXforme]

We need to see a Spoon Built Honda S800 like Daniel Wu's

[@snowfreak207]

The ending edit on every video is my favorite ngl

[@bradclouds1480]

Endurance street legal Race Fit, just chillin

[@jimmycrutsinger1021]

That S2o000 is so lit. Spoon be killing it

[@dannymac6368]

My wife *has* been telling me to get a 4-door car…🤔

[@divecolosio4988]

Get the ex-WRC Lan Evo

[@bigharrykochenbauls4567]

SPOON has always been about finesse ✌

[@apimpwalkg4539]

I love his jacket

[@oliviercaron8685]

I like the video before the video got 10 sec, spoon ❤

[@antonc108]

Even as you are in the USA, you need to park the cars 1/8 inch apart of each because JDM.

[@MRMAN-wb1tv]

Say what? Lol

[@vicviper4538]

The more I get into cars the more it reminds me of mecha, specifically gundam and how they treat the suits as machines

[@JoseCastillo-qv1hi]

Fun fact the Nissan GT-R (recent one's) took inspiration from Gundams. They liked the blockiness of Gundam.

[@vicviper4538]

@@JoseCastillo-qv1hi yeah I heard about that, supposedly they did it with the Evo X too

[@Cynsham]

@@JoseCastillo-qv1hi Did not know that, but thinking about it now I can definitely see some inspiration from that style of Gundam anime in the body lines on the R35.

[@akumaz78]

Dream to have one of these cars 🥰

[@smuratore2821]

How much do you think the Fit would sell for?

[@QuietEarp]

The fit isn’t SOHC. It’s duel. It’s just that the vtec is only on the intake cam

[@rjaybruhh]

*_Eyegasms_*

[@xapaiz]

That S2k roof is out of this world, would definitely order one if I had too much money laying around

[@kpokfposkf]

k20 fit is the dream :p

[@Slimgosa]

The frames are a little off (with the video being a tiny bit laggy), however awesome interview as always 👌🏾

[@jameisonroyce7550]

fit rs also come with awd

[@Hidalgochrsxm]

Larry. Please convince the boys at Hoonigan to build a gen1 Fit Type-R time attack car 🙏

[@sneakthieve]

Will Spoon fixed dampers bolt right to usdm GK5? emailed gotuning and evasive but no answer. also have been searching online but no luck.

[@jessea7117]

Anyone know where we can get aftermarket suspension for the 2015-2017/2020 Fits?

[@weduhpeople8504]

Where can I get the led light bars on the fog light vents?

[@TripSkyWalker]

Someone should buy this & do Gridlife sundae cup in it.

[@kentbeitel9966]

If heaven is personalized this is what I want mine to look like 😂

[@gilahobi6206]

mantap!

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

If I had the money to get them to rebuild my 91 sedan...😍

[@smokey91820]

You need to buy the Fit Larry

[@oscardean6351]

I’d love to know the purpose of the Flexi glass roof. Is it purely aesthetic’s? I know I’m a year late to the show, but maybe someone will answer who knows😂

[@johnfromschool]

That jacket is 🔥🔥🔥 Anybody got links?

[@awdobsession717]

Spoon Sports USA website. It’s been sold out for over a year… limited collaboration with Eat Sleep Race.

[@illestFlavor]

The center drive on the fd2 was the biggest mistake they did on it.

[@weduhpeople8504]

Actually he said setting the seat back as far as the center window pillars made the driver’s road view terrible.

[@Post.nut_Clarity]

it protecc, it attacc, it center-positioned pushed bacc steering racc.

[@Ten0chtl1]

On the roof top: Bruh yuUUve heEERD of 3d printin mate, sheessshh whole ALuMiniuuum block! UNFATHOMABLE... SALT BAE: *Sprinkles Metal Dust*

[@Kxji]

[@gerry3RS]

If Spoon needs someone to race that Fit for them tell them to hmu lol

[@pumpkinpot672]

[@Kris2fst4u]

Stupid question, but does anyone know what the interior grey color is called or what’s the code? Thanks.

[@toddxhiggins]

[@BillyHa]

[@jredf1]

They got a perfect car from spoon Japan and did a bunch of unnecessary mods on it...

[@m0rtal_hax]

How much do you think they would charge to finish building my prelude lol? Need a transmission swap from auto to manual including ECU, install hondata, injectors (i already reinforced the engine) as well as connecting the last piping for my turbo PLUS a stage 2 tune lol ?

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

A hell of a lot 😂 I'd love to have them rebuild my 91 civic.
