- After being a big fan of Spoon Sports and Type One from the ownership of my very first car, I finally visit the company that started it all for me.
Ichi-San was very kind to make time from his busy schedule to briefly meet me at Type One. A message was left on their wall as a reminder of our visit.
The workshop was super clean and organised with many parts and cars on display. Seeing their actual race cars were simply awesome.
I will never forget this experience and will always be a fan! Thank you Spoon Sports!

the way that the owners of these shops let you take a look around there shops is what makes your videos unique,special and very enjoyable to watch,keep it up man i really like what you are doing
al alex D2 He's a good man! For some CEOs, they wouldn't even let you do the filming inside their shops. Japanese Hospitality at its best 🇯🇵👍🏼
Thanks for the comments guys. He was really nice and as soon as I entered the building, we greeted each other then he got me to sign the wall before I even had time to have a look around lol
The Japanese really are lovely and I want to stay here!
Ichishima is a geek himself, you can always see him sniffing other contestant's car in best motoring
XD
Hahaha! Oh really? I never noticed this, maybe because I always skip to the racing bit.
What a great video, feels like I am there. Thank You.
Awesome video, love your trip to Japan, hope you had as much fun as I did watching you lol. I would have been so excited to meet spoon head boss....
I'm absolutely loving your Japan adventure and your presenting of the channel is top notch , Glad I found this little gem of a channel .
Keep it up
Many thanks Joel 😊👍 very much appreciated.
your living right now the jdm life we all love :D what about meetup with noriyaro?
I'm having an awesome time. I have tried contacting him but he's really busy and must be inundated with messages 😔
I love every second of it! Thanks for sharing this video! More power to Spoon Sports 🇯🇵👍🏼
Many thanks 😊
Great watch loving the Japanese tour.
😊
That's amazing Bond! I've been watching all your Japan tour videos and must say it's like I'm there with you! Thanks for taking us along thru your camera lens. I definitely plan to visit Japan asap :)
No problem RolanTHUNDER 😊
Went back to Japan last month for 3 weeks. End of my trip decided to buy the spoon calipers for my DC5 and as soon as I approached the sliding door entrance I see Ichishima-san pushing a crate from the elevator on the left that is visible as soon as you enter the office. He was a in a full Type One mechanics jump suit. I was in awe haha. He actually WORKS and not just wears fancy clothes all the time and has his employees do everything. I walked in and asked about buying parts and he asked what I was looking for. I didn't straight up greet him right away and ask for picture though haha. He was very helpful and pointed me to one of the office folks to get the items I wanted. He delivered parts to Type One. After buying the calipers I went to Type One and greeted him there introduced myself and thanked him. Took a pic in front of a DC5 and that was it. But the best part was when he gave me a ride personally to Ogikubo JR station since the caliper box was a little heavy. Had a nice chat on the way. Best experience ever! Proof on my Instagram @athfdrizzle! haha. Thanks Ichishima-san
Love videos like this!!
😊👍
Awesome video! This is definitely best video of going around inside the Type One! I cannot wait to visiting Type One but not till April 2018 lol.
Thanks 😊 You won't be disappointed when you visit them. They are so friendly and welcoming.
dam loved that Teggy
That was amazing, that's for this awesome video! As for the hard top, i prefer the shape of the mugen one! :) The new front bumper for the s2000 though looks awesome!
Thank's*
No problem, thank you for your comment 😊 I like the Mugen one too but I don't think it would suit my Spoon kitted S2000. Only the Spoon hardtop compliments the kit. Mugen hardtop is super expensive too.
Another great vid
😊
You made my day . 😍
👍😊
That nsx was beautiful!
oh man! you got to go to dream land! and met the maestro himself! nice job!
Great vid bud...really diggin the music too...
Thank you 😊
Very cool that you got to meet Ichishima-san, Spoon Sports hard top is my favourite :P I want an S2000 haha
He was such a nice guy. Shame he had to leave early though as I wanted to pick his brain on a lot of things lol
Can't wait to get my hardtop fitted. You should get one 😊
Spooooooon parts 😱 😍
😊👍
Amazing. I would love to go there. I'd love to be able to take my car there too! If you go to the Honda Collection Hall again, please can you get longer footage of the DC2, pretty please with a cherry on top.
Damnnn, that white Integra .... Clean af
Very, very cool! so neat seeing the change that has happened within the last month since I was there haha. Also that yellow s800 is beautiful... my friend that I travelled with was actually the one that just purchased it from Type One :). Keep up the good videos! love them all!
Oh wow, I didn't know that the S800 was for sale. I thought it was a restoration project and for show purposes. What was on show when you visited a month ago? Are you living in Japan?
Ya it just went on forsale after we came home and my friend had been looking for a clean example... who better to buy from then Spoon! A month ago they had the Spoon EA Race car in the place of the Race NSX you showed and next to that was their Spoon Race car that is for sale and next to that was the s800. Looks like they just swapped some stuff from their lift to the floor. I am actually from Ontario, Canada and not Japan but I visited for 3 weeks and met with a few shop owners while there. Hope to come back again fall of this year.
Oh wow, the S800 must've cost a lot not only to buy but to ship to Canada too. Does Canada have a good car scene too? I may be looking into a trip there sometime in the future.
Glad to hear that the workflow/showroom is always changing as it means they are constantly working.
Not sure how much he paid but I'm sure it was not cheap haha. Canada's car scene is pretty good... unfortunately where I live in Ontario it is not really the best and I and my friend have a small group of 10 guys who usually get together and have BBQs... that's good enough for us! You should totally visit Canada! it's a really nice place.
Yes I agree! it is nice to see a constant changing showroom at Spoon! Also nice to see that Ichishima was there while you were there as well! very, very friendly guy.
oufff honda royalty ichishima san. thats pretty epic
It was really nice to meet him 😊
*drools* i'd quite happily buy every one of them cars.
😊 I really want a car built by them too. Just adding their parts to my own car isn't the same.
wow you want there that has to be an amazing experience
It was an awesome experience. Have you not visited them before? Where in Japan do you live buddy?
PerformanceCars I live in Tokyo in hamadayama
Sharing it again on my FB page (Worldwide HONDA Enthusiasts)
Many thanks Roy 😊👍
Awesome video, a peek inside Aladdin's cave! Thank you :-)
Rob Coleman Haha yesss. The Cave of Wonders!
It was great to finally visit the company that made the parts for my Spoon S2000 😊
Wow can even meet the man himself. And he can speak English quite well now.
It was a 50/50 chance that he was able to meet us as he is either really busy at the office or he's not there. He's semi-retired I think. But yes, we were able to hold a decent conversation 😊
I am a Mine's guy myself, but I do wish I coulf have made it there when I lived in Japan
+J.T. Windley Hey, I love all makes of cars and tuners as well. Hopefully I can pay Mine's a visit. Time is very tight!
PerformanceCars I would definitely advise it. Keep up the great work Kidd.
I wish I could take my EK4 to them for a tune. K20A swap and Spoon everything, inside and out. I already got N1 muffler and carbon kevlar direct air flow pipe.
I would stay there all day
man, you get to meet the man himself, Ichishima-san! Well don!
Thanks 😊 He was an awesome guy to meet. Wished we had more time with him though.
Indeed. Was always good to watch him talk about Spoon Sport's latest tune for Type Rs back in the day on old episodes of Best Motoring with Tsuchiya and crew.
Really nice video, quality.
I would love a Jdm S2000!
Many thanks 👍
Why would you want a JDM S2000 over a UK one may I ask? I'm curious and would like to know your thoughts.
PerformanceCars. It has around 10 bhp more than the Ukdm model, plus it's compression ratio is higher at 11.7.1 compared to 11.0.1.
I know 10bhp is easily obtainable but there is something special about Jdm Honda's, and the fact it came straight out the factory that way also.
I have seen lots of Jdm Ep3's, Fd2,s, Tegs etc down at Tgm sport but have never seen a Jdm S2000!
If Torque Gt could get hold of one then I would be genuinely interested.
Keep up the good work, just subscribed.
Ah I see. Reason why I asked is because I have 2 JDM S2000's myself and people always ask me what's the point in getting the JDM version when the UK one is just as good.
Apart from the 10bhp, mine also has the DVD screen in the middle of the dash and the JDM rear bumper. I may be looking to sell one of them before summer but haven't made a decision yet.
abit later to the party here, but were visiting Tokyo in January and hopefuly spoon a swell, do you have any idea whether you can purchase any parts directly from them or do you have to go via a distributor ? cheers dude :)
🙏👊😎
😊
So awesome... So, TYPE ONE is open to the public, correct? Just head up the stairs on the side of the building?
Yes they are open to the public. Spoon Sports doesn't really have anything to show as you can see in the video but Type One is definitely worth the visit.
Nice video! Are normal people visiting allowed to visit Type One and Spoon headquarters? Also, do they sell parts off the shelves?
meeiu anyone can visit type one garage in ogikubo. Can't buy parts off the shelf though
would be awesome if you get a chance to meet keichii tschuiya.
+imran hussain I would love to myself but I have no idea where to find him and I'm not a stalker lol
How much for me to let you take my stock CL7 accord euro R and modify the shit out of it! You guys look like you are doing some really serious work on them cars. Hopefully someday i can afford to get you guys to upgrade my accord to these standards
did the race s2000 have drink written on the indicator/wiper stalk?
It did indeed. It's on the wiper stalk.
Tell me one thing, the preparers: Spoon, Feel's, Seeker, Arvou among others, they provide preparation healings of both the honda and other brands?. I'm sorry if my question seems a bit of a no-show, it's my dream to go to Japan just to go to the preparers' stores, I'm from Brazil but every day I watch videos of yours that are geniuses in this case, I'm a big fan of these teams and my Dream is to enter these stores and get into a Honda, because in my country does not have it and it is only through your vídeos that I kill my will to be there...=... Your videos are a maximum. Hōyō
Hey Fernando, thank you for the comment. Spoon, Feel's, Seeker and Arvou specialise in Honda's. They do carry out some maintenance on other brands which I saw while I was over there like Toyota. I'm sure when you visit Japan, you will love it 👍
hi bro are we able to order any honda performance part from them. or should we go through their agent.
Hi, I think you have to order through their agent or at Type One.
PerformanceCars thanks for the info.
That first honda 👍
That would be my dream car, NSX Type R.
boy honda
how much were they asking for the s2000
I didn't ask tbh. Now that you mention it, I am curious myself. And to your other comment, that DC2 was really clean with a host of parts in the trunk ready to be installed.
Around 70k.

Do people actually like those hunchback s2ks??? i prefer the one with no hunchback, it looks like a dog taking a poo
Oh no, don't say that as I have the Spoon hardtop. I can't see where it's like a dog taking a poo. I can see it looking like a Z4M though.
Soft top for life ha I don't hate the hard top but the back window shape I don't like the look of it..
shame on you mate your in spoon sports and think thats a recaro seat hahahahahahaha
its a spoon sport seat same as feels
and shame on you for mistaking your for you're. it's that easy
