  • How does Spoon improve the 400HP FK8 Type R driving feel? Behind the scenes of parts Development & testing...
    Join us as we go with Spoon Sports to a circuit test session to see exactly how parts are tested for the all-important setup and development of street parts for Honda sports models. In this video, we speak to Daisuke Jomoto the R&D manager of Spoon on the rationale behind their philosophy of tuning.
    While car manufacturers use technology to improve handling dynamically, could it have also taken out the fun factor of driving experience in older models? The example here is the latest Civic Type R FK8 which uses electronically controlled dampers to inhibit body roll. While the tech works to make an overall better handling car, it also reduces the driver involvement which is one of the reasons why we drive sports cars in the first place.
    Most major manufacturers employ the help of professional racing drivers to provide accurate feedback for development so that we as regular drivers can feel a more rounded and enjoyable drive.

    "A lot of technology is not always the way forwards" - really good quote, definitely applies to car enthusiasts who understand about the feel of driving. Modern cars are too easy to drive fast and disconnect the driver from the car, not a good thing in my opinion. Keep up the great content

    Yup, I agree that sometimes, we need a fun-to-drive car instead of a fast car.
    I kind of understand that from playing Gran Turismo 4, driving slow cars like Honda Fit or Toyota Vitz Turbo with fully-upgraded handling.
    It's more fun that way.

    unpopular opinion: lost in translation when 3 way suspension adjustment were discussed as it seemed to be misunderstood as "3 modes" (comfort/sport/track) as opposed to high speed compression/low speed compression/rebound (modes are a wee bit oversimplifying it imho)

    I noticed the tail lights for the JP FK8 doesn't have reflects (the black portion) while the US models does. I saw a few videos of Spoon installs for the front and rear bumpers on a US FK8 and needs some modification (the front crash bar is thicker than then JP FK8s).

    • @12ealDealOfficial
      @12ealDealOfficial 3 роки тому +1

      Exactly. It's difficult to get excited about newer models that keep adding horsepower to compensate for curb weight, electronic dampening, etc. As long as those safety restrictions exist in the west, we won't see fun and economical enthusiast stuff anymore unless worked over by SPOON, FEED, SPIRITS, etc and then imported.

      @@ShaiyanHossain Yes they do say that. But you skip out what they also say when compared to previous Type R. They happily take an EK9, DC2, FD2RR, or a Spoon EG6 even if its not "Type R". Not because of nostalgic reasons. Its because of the rawness and fun they give to the driver. Its the feeling of you driving the car and not the car drive for you. Its the reason MX5 still sells even with an underpowered engine. Watch the review of Chris Harris on the flagship hybrid Ferrari car and you will know what I mean.

  • @YoKhoe
    @YoKhoe 3 роки тому

    Since Spoon's have a close relationship with Honda, can we direct a question to Jomoto-san (?) on why then Honda decided on a 20" for stock instead of 18? If the overall sporty package is really that much better with the 18 (and more widely available and reliable), then why did Honda choose a wheel and tire setting that is so specific to certain types of time attack racing?

    • @ShaiyanHossain
      @ShaiyanHossain 3 роки тому

      the 20"s are there to reduce torque steer afaik
      but marketing team probably had a play too lol

    • @YoKhoe
      @YoKhoe 3 роки тому

      @@ShaiyanHossain if you run the spec through Will It Fit or Wheel Size Calculator, you should see that it has something to do with having zero scrub radius with the measurements of the wheel/tire and the suspension arm. If you substitute the main measurement of 20" to 18" the goal towards zero scrub is still achievable

    • @paulshi5974
      @paulshi5974 3 роки тому +1

      They did in a later Touge Battle episode. That was due to DK's very violent style of braking. In a modern, more drive-by-wire car like the FK8, DK's heavy late braking into Turn 1 of Tsukuba exceeded the safety margin of the braking system, so the car did not react exactly to his commands, but eased into braking. Spoon told DK about it, and DK subsequently adjusted his braking technique with their car in that Touge episode.
