A $150,000 Honda Civic?? Visiting Spoon, Japan's Ultimate Honda Builder
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 чер 2024
- Legendary. Is there any other word for Spoon Japan? B16s that rev to the moon, racecars with otherworldly handling, and now - potentially one of the greatest street Hondas ever built. Our buds at KW Suspension are doing a collab with Spoon, so we head over there to check out what they've got going on. And they've got a whole lot going on, it turns out... aka the Singer build of the Honda world, in the form of a $150,000 Honda EG Civic.

Them sweet walls
I like your mom more than your dad
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec system exhaust
It literally is the intro to the clip.
The we are well and truly fucked! O_O
Motec system exhaust ***
Show me then
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Am I the only one that has watched this 10+ times? This video made me clean my shop and changed how I work on cars. I can appreciate everything they are doing. So cool
Unbelievable how they’re still doing the sick sh*t with B SERIES motors ! I Love IT!!!!!!!!!
JDM as f*ck 😎
in today wold those engine just not as good...don't worth the money now... back then it is the bomb....
campkira What if I don’t like turbo? B and K are still good choices if you don’t like today’s turbos.
@@frivera735 had an EM1 with a NA b16. I loved that car, awesome sound and a lot of fun, newer cars with the same displacement and power are so boring. Now I have a 2zzge :)
I have an EJ8 Civic coupe with a built B18C5 in it and it currently makes 612 whp on a GT3582R dual ball bearing turbo at 22.5 psi. With what I have into my B series, I could've built a fairly bulletproof K series, but I like to stick with my roots (I'm 36 years old) and back in the day when the first FnF came out, it was ALL about the B series. FnF made me buy my first Honda, a DA9 Integra GS that I turbocharged myself. I agree that the K series is a far superior engine to the B, but you can still have alot of fun with the B series. P.S. I also have a CSS forged internals B16A in my basement with a B18C head as a spare engine.
B is still a good option for a swap...
Remember Hector is running 3 civics with Spoon Engines 😂
gd dman hector
Yeah 200hp a piece lol
So you gonna go round n checkout everyone's shit?! And remember, Hector is going "legit"
Too soon Junior
"Theres at least $100 grand under the hood of that car."
Spoon. Reminds of Gran Turismo back in the day
Jared Richardson that’s how I know about a lot of the cars I love and appreciate.. old GT is the greatest, ps2 title has more than double the cars of gt sport in timeless graphics, one of the tiny handful of interlaced 1080 games on it.
@@CorruptInfinityOfficial That game will always be a legend. I can't even count how many hours I played that game buying cars and tuning them up.
I remember playing it for the first time at a friends house. I was instantly hooked. Love Spoon. Love GT
first class junkie yeah man the gtr and 3000gt were the best cars in that game. Fastest anyway
7:00
Does anyone know what video he showed at 7:00?
That is going to be the most exhilarating and smile inducing 200hp.
Would have been cool to see just a hair more power but 200 is going to be PLENTY in that chassis
It seems way under powered for $120,000. That engine looks like it will produce 500 hp without much effort.
Depends if they go na or turbo. Most likely it'll be na.
Beerus - God of Destruction they'll do it the spoon way, the all motor way
Im sure the light weight chassis will have alot of play in how fast it will feel when driving it along with anything they have done for weight reduction.
I'm not really into these cars but man oh man I respect the heck out of the engineering, manufacturing, and fabrication. I mean serious art here folks.
N T same man I was like where’s THAT BIG OL SNAIL TURBO BOI
I came for the header and stayed for the carbon fiber.
100! ... but left at the 200hp engine lol
Gogeta SSJ4UI Kao-ken xInfinity power to weight.
I think it's like a coating or stressed skin of some sort
lol, "came" xD
the Spoon EK hatch will always be on my "dream garage" list, although i would gladly take anything Spoon has had their hands on.
Eli Carey nice then I’ll take the EG and EF.
I feel the same way about the Spoon S2k.
You make me wanna go watch that EK hatch video rippin it up. It’s my favorite as well 👍
Honda Euro R CL1 - m.ua-cam.com/video/pVm6Zjbk8vA/v-deo.html
My first honda only had a spoon sticker and I felt like it added 20kW and 120 N.M...
Honestly, that price is reasonable for the amount of work and attention to detail AND the legendary creators behind this project. Japanese Singer is a sweet concept.
I’d honestly say it’s cheap
I perfer this over the actual HOONIGAN channel.
It's a million times better for sure.
It's 99 percent drift cars on there. Drifting is cool but let's get some time attack cars on there.
the more they grow the more they can put out a little something for everybody ^^
Yup
@Camo Dude the letters are right next to each other on the keyboard so accidentally hitting them in the wrong order is not unbelievable.
Japanese tuning companies never stopped being great, unlike the manufacturers. I think that's a big reason why the tuning culture of Japan is so amazing, even today. Sure, the JDM golden age may have ended in the early 2000s, but the tuners don't know/don't care.
Auto manufacturers are proof the world actually ended in 2012
@@OGbrundle fr... though, we have had a COUPLE of okay designs since, mostly in other places than the USA
Facts. Too bad we’re running out of good cars, nobody wants this post 2009 crap.
These guys have the EXACT same idea I've had for some time now, to restore/build brand new versions of older Japanese classics, but with all the appropriate bells and whistles for a fast street car. it's nice to see that idea take shape. My dream goal would be an all-carbon body mk3 Supra, with around 500hp that handles well but is also very comfortable, and nice inside, a perfect Grand Tourer, with the classic late 80's look.
Yeah man, people would definitely buy them. I'd love to have "brand new" del sol or crx.
I mean resto mods have been around since the '80s this isn't a new concept lol
Built by legends should get Top Secret to do a mk4 Supra and RE Amemiya to do an FD RX-7...
lol watch as top secret does a mk2 supra and RE does a FC, seeing as Mines is doing a r32 maybe theyll all go for that kinda retro mod kind of thing, not exactly the chassis they are known for, but one in the same family.
@@jhalkoski idk about an mk2 but a top secret mk3 though. That would be sweet. Amemiya's take on an NA miata would also be cool, would be nice to see a screaming all motor rotor setup in there. Top down 14,000rpm redline.

Does anyone know what video he showed at 7:00?
@@brenj idk the name but i think that was an amemiya rx7 that crashed at the Bonneville salt flats. Search that.

Nice to know, I currently own a 1992 eg6 with an sir swap here in the USA and I love it, nice to know that this option is available from spoon, awesome 💯👍👍👍
I’ve seen a lot of spoon tours over the years but that’s the first fast & furious reference in a spoon tour. Awesome video. Love you Larry!
The eg hatches are the best looking civics ever.
Ek for for life n I think they look the best who else thinks that
Ek hatch for the win
Ek 9 tin top bro

A definite must have !!!! I’ve always been a huge fan of spoon.
Yes, please - I’ll take one; a “singer-type civic”!! That plus one in EK9 too.
"Fools runnin a haaanda 2000".... Dont do it! i bet that honda has more then 100 grand under the hood!
"Too soon junior"
Jesse don’t do it!
@@Alexander_l322 I went out and bought a civic LX. so slow. Then I bought a mazda 6. SO SLOW. Then I bought a dodge challenger RT. So fast. Now I have a WRX. SO FAST, SO SMOOTH. SO HANDLE.
Frank you have enough money to do that?
Frank you’re where the phrase “built not bought” originated from because you obviously didn’t put anything into the Honda or Mazda

Ok son.😂

@@louis-philippelavoie6929 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Can hear how nervous he is being that close to those cars 😂😂 I'd be on the floor praying to the s200
Thanks for putting this out. I used to pass by there every few weeks then finally one day I stopped and checked it out (through the windows lol) Everything so clean, gearbox overhual room like a freaking laboratory haha.
Amazing guys. So kind so smart. Beautiful eg hatch cant wait to see it sittin on the ground and driveable. That exhaust note will be beautiful. 👌🏻
What a fantastically humble guy Mr Katsu!
Gotta love Spoon. Its ultimately one of the best builders in the business for Honda's and Acura's besides Mugen. They are both the best in the business
Such a awesome tour! The eg hatch is intense, absolutely love the header/exhaust work!
So glad this was with Larry where he actually knows what he’s talking about and the history.

2 favorite things about this civic..
1. The floor and 2 the header.. wow..
the header looks like a hood exit header combined to work with rest of exhaust system...
WOW! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! 🤩 I'm addicted to Japan tuning.
That’s so bad ass man definitely a dream.i turned 16 in 2002 and in Alabama there wasn’t to many resources for jdm parts but I remember having all the old options videos that were awesome back then
Japan's got some legendary tuners.
Spoon, RWB, etc.
insane.
The level of craftsmanship and attention to detail is astounding. It's like a Pagani for JDM fans. Bargain!

The video just started and I'm loving it!
My dream car. NSX
Larry does the best work! Thanks for the inside scoop! Love to see a spoon TL!
Great stuff, I was there when you were recording this 😆 last day Mr Ichishima was visiting there too
All my Hondas and Acuras in Forza have Spoon designs on them, absolutly legendary cars!
This is amazing! Thanks for the upload. Cool guys too.
This video is perfect for quarantine. Thank you 🙏 love you all
Damn the content doesn’t stop!
AAAAAND Instant click Hell yes. Love me some Spoon! Thanks fam!
KW - just want to let you know I bought some KW V1's for my E39 525iT, S54 swapped/6speed manual - thanks for sponsoring Hoonigan AutoFocus and Larry.
Great vid, the experts are humble and modest.
Love this channel! High quality vids. That exhaust manifold is epic. Would love to know more about that, like what cam is being used, what length the headers are before the 4-1 and what they're going for with that build. They said about 200hp... Is there a turbo behind there or does the exhaust just go that way for space saving? How about heat dissipation in the engine bay? So many questions! :D
Mr. Spoon old man ichisima, back in days still productive, long life and healthy sir.
He got so old 😳😭
This car is just simply incredible. Can't wait to see the finished product.. not to mention the Mines R32 GTR. 😍😍😍
Larry Chen is the best because he loves ALL the cars. Every single one of them.
I would love to owen this beautiful car ! If I ever win the lottery I'm getting a spoon s2000 eg type r civic rsx integra nsx and a new civic type r life would be complete!
Christopher Last Name thats it?? Lol No lifetime supply of ramen noodles??
Don't hope for shit hustle for it, there are many many ways to get rich just, look around......
most owner don't drive those car.. shame on them....
@@campkira ya that's a shame I'd drive it every day !
You should buy a few commas too.
Great content. But this should be called, “Autofocus with Larry Chen” keep up the great work.
Can't wait to see the final product. Japan never disappoints
Cool video! Got to love the attention to detail the guys at spoon have.
The look on his face when he says " it's a street car so it's going to be about 200... maybe " lol.
That 5gen civic makes some sense. Carbon fibre doesnt rust, just make quarter panels out of carbon also
I'm honestly surprised that they have not come up with this for the masses! You can also paint over the quarter panel to if you didn't want to see the carbon fibre look, I personally wouldn't paint it though!!
@Michael Pullins it's Japan. What did you expect? They do things their own way.
@Michael Pullins S2000? NSX? I admit the NSX isn't exactly a normal car though
One of the few Civic models I actually like. That thing's gonna be a ripper!
I wanna cry rn, half joy, half sadness. The fact that these companies are back into making the epic cars they made in the early 00s is just amazing. But the fact that i have no chance of owning either of them is painful
first time hearing larry's voice after following his work since speedhunter early days..:LOL
Came from watching a PFI tune directly to this. Dang
This is the way
A man of culture
Thank you for doing this 🙏
Appreciate your efforts.
🖖💜☀️
Thank you guys for the vídeos!
This is the promised land.
I believe 150k has been invested in that beast. I have put in idk how much into my Accord and still looks like a stock accord on the road lol
I love accords miss mine so much it was a blast to drive, would've loved to try the type r accord tho 😍
@@moali2531 The EuroR is one of the best cars ever made. Underrated and never available in the states sadly.
@@AutomotiveAnatomy I had 4 accords, 91, 94, 98, 2001.
Also had a 91 Integra.
Currently rolling with the 97 Prelude. I think I have the winner.
This was the first video of hoonigan auto focus I watched.
Bless your soul Larry, this video just made my entire weekend
I would buy a new civic eg hatchback built by spoon. I'm saving now
easier just get new car....
@@campkira fun fact: this eg civic is brand new built by Spoon! If i'm rich i would definitely buy this legendary car.
@@Hetzerg it's built by opera performance
It's built by opera performance actually

Clean as welds ! Barley Any bulge
When i was there it was around the time the FK8 Type R came out and they had two of them in the shop in the first floor and on the other side of the shop, (its actually not very large about the size of 5 or 6 car garage with a car elevator in one corner to move cars to the second floor) was a Honda s600 and a first gen crx , was super awesome they even gave me a couple newspaper style promotional with amazing pictures of the older spoon race cars super nice guys we literally walked in off the street and they let us look around the whole shop even in the engine room. Super amazing place amazingly nice people and some absolutely beautiful Hondas!!
Awesome video. @katsu takahashi - you're a cool dude. Love the relaxed vibe when showcasing such an awesome car. I'd drink a beer with this guy.
These guys are probably so good at building Honda’s that the car will start on the 1st try lol
They better. I’m a half ass mechanic and my LS swaps start every time first try.
@@MrPland1992 Well as a mechanic (even half-ass) you should know that B-series honda engines were dead reliable, arguably some of the best engines made no doubt👌
Toredo!!! Swat came into my house,disrespected my Famiry!!
150k for 200 hp honda civic 🤣🤣🤣🤣👬
i knowww and thats not even on the wheels lelz
I NEVA NACK'IN NOBODY!!! I NEVA NARKED OOWEN NUBBODY!!!
Wow!!! That header is something else!!! 🤘🏻
That car will put out more than 200hp. I cant wait to see the finished product and following built by legends
Is that a gear driven cams(no timing chain or belt) on 7:23.. first time ive ever seen it coming from a honda Car engine 🤔 please anyone post some info, really interesting and different.
Fairly sure that is an s2000 engine, the chain drives the single larger gear in the front. If you just google s2000 cams you will get lots of images of it
Finally! Hoonigan needs more Honda's and road racing. Enough with the e30/240/drift scene
Spoon and KW collaboration? Wet dream right there
This thing is gonna be sick. The 90s Honda are definitely the most legendary
Can anybody tell me what's that fire beat in the intro? Maybe link? Much appreciated any sort of help!!🙏🏼❤️
I see this work of art and I wonder why Toyota allowed BMW to build the legendary Supra.
The new supra is such trash
Because bmw builds great engines lol
because bmw still builds inline 6 and sport sedans, toyota only builds eco 4 pots
1984 was the best looking Supra. Fight me.
@@gsxerwhite is that even a debate lol
Dream car right there. Just subbed. That was a perfect little 411/interview video. Super chill, no moronic UA-cam personalities to look past. Hell yeah.
Would absolutely love it if something like this would happen with my 79 accord lx. It's taken me years to piece together what I have so far
is there a way to follow the civic build?
Go to Japan
Yes ua-cam.com/video/KqRgTaJ1faA/v-deo.html opera performance
“This is a custom titanium header..” reminds me of this one car salesman I met who pointed out “this is the steering wheel.”
Would have loved to had him sell me a car - I had to crack out the manual to figure out what the hell that wheel was doing INSIDE the car.
Theres a scene from Dubrovnik where a Porsche is driving upwards to main road (Magistrala) heading south towards Kupari beach and in the background on the photo you can see hotel Belvedere unfortunately heavily damanged in the Croatian war (1991-1995) and the beach beneath, a beautiful scene!!
Great Spoon video ♥️♥️
Spoon Honda very beautiful and fast cars.
Nice video 👍
For $120k I'd want an AWD K20
847MicRoss Price is for the builders more than the build. There’s skilled people out there that could build 2 eight second Civics with $120k.
@@SlowDelSol Price is for a rust free 90's civic :)
Imagine if every riced out Honda here in the states was replaced with a Spoon Honda! 0_0
Jimmy Walsh brother if only that could happen then the brand would not be though of as the ultimate ricer car it pisses me off as a honda guy when i see those riced out hondas
If Honda builds cars that are not allowed to sell on U.S. soil than I doubt these cars would be legal here. Every stock hot hatch sold in U.S. is the watered down version of what they have on the other side.
200 hp brutal
Beautiful and appreciated by the only true Honda fans spoon goes wayyyyyy back
I have a pic of that same Honda without the motor, from back in November. Fun to see that Honda coupe is still on the upper rack, originally thought it was an MGB GT before I walked up to it. They didn’t mind us just walking in off the street, was a wonderful experience! You should check out Akiland Racing, Five mart, or Japan RHD; the owners are amazing and nice af!
I want you to present this car to a "ultimate fanboy" and tell him to choose this car or a 911 turbo/R8/Nissan GTR/etc....LOL
As a Honda nut, this makes my heart skip. I love the ethos behind the Spoon brand.
Opera! One of my favourite tuner Z's in Gran Turismo!!
Omg this video is awesome, just jaw dropping in amazement..
I mean it would be the biggest privilege to own such a masters piece built by real legends but, I can't see me paying 120 grand for 200hp. For such a price it needs to be 500-600 hp.
The only way a Civic, is worth $150,000 is, if *you leave $150,000 inside of it* 😂😂😂!!!
I agree...this guy "I think its worth it...for the ultimate fan boy" lol I thought this was gonna have 600+ HP or something....how can you call it ultimate when it's only 200HP and he goes to justify it by saying its light. This car is expensive cause of the amount of unnecessary labor that went into it.
18magicMARKer it’s expensive not only because of the labor but the heritage and title of a car being built in house by spoon, if you know spoon you know that’s extremely special
Brain washed!
cruz936 never said I would spend that much money on a fucken civic, even if I had it, just saying it’s a valuable collectors piece
For 150K,I personally think that it should be pumping out atleast 400HP,200HP doesn't seem like enough power for this car IMO. They're pros though,so if they believe that 200HP is enough then it probably is. It's never a bad thing to have a good amount of power on tap,in case the driver wants to mash the skinny pedal a little harder and have enough power to put on a show.
Nice and big respect to the legends I will send this on to my mate he is
I love spoon with all of my heart and have authentic N1 catback exhaust on my s2k. I want to build my s2k with spoon front bumper. But $120k for a civic man that's tough. If I was a billionaire I'd buy one as well as other legend builds.
Respect for spoon and what not but 150k into a civic hatch to get 200hp and good handling, no thanks
Agreed. But it’s on par with the rest of the crazy Japanese parts cost. If I want a full NOVEL exhaust on my car it’s $15k. Just go look at TOM’S parts. It’s insane markup.
It's actually built by opera performance ua-cam.com/video/KqRgTaJ1faA/v-deo.html
150000 for a civic nahh buddy that’s a cap 🧢
and Thank You Larry!! for living our dream. :D
I own a Honda Civic type R and I also agreed it’s hands down the best FWD car ever the handling is so amazing.
Your car is amazing 👌
