Rescued Spoon Sports Honda Accord Euro R Racecar… 1 of 1!

- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- By now you should know that Spoon Sports is one of the greatest Honda racecar builders/tuners in the game. And although it recently changed hands, it was brought back to life by Willem Drees - a die-hard Honda nerd. And now after selling the car to a good friend, it continues to see proper usage at places like Gridlife Time Attack.

sorry to be off topic but does anyone know a method to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Kieran Clyde instablaster =)
@Derek Brycen i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Derek Brycen it worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
@Kieran Clyde You are welcome :)
"4 door racecars are the coolest thing ever"
Say no more fam, you are spitting truth
As a CL9 owner, this video made my day! Thank you Larry!
Bruhhhh same 😍😍😍
Those cars are so sexy!
Same here
love this video! So much fun to learn more about another Spoon Sports built race car. I’m a huge fan of the Accord Euro R.
Damn larry kicked that other dude to the curb lol
Thank God he did 😂
Soo glad someone said it
@@beratsbuilds Yea he had to. After the guy kept repeating himself I felt like he wouldnt know much
@@burntchickennugget191 IT WAS ON TOP GEAR fifth... fuck this
Yeah but he has the not you 😆
I like Will, he basically saw that car from the start to letting it go. Reminds me of a dad
My '05 TSX was my favorite car. Not techiqually a Euro-R but it always surprised ppl w/ how quick and nimble it was after the work I put into it.
Year 2000, Spoon entered the 24H Nurburgring race for the first time and finished 1st in class, 32nd overall.
As a tsx owner thank you for this!!! This made my day and so amazing!! Would love to see this car in person
The story about the door light made me lol- being in the UK as soon as I saw it at the start of the video I thought "weird, its got a Land Rover number plate light on the door. hmm"
The CL7 Accord Euro R = best looking Accord ever, I miss my ex Satin Silver one dearly (traded her in for an FK8 CTR)
The more I listen to him, the more respect I have for his work.
Amazing dude!
The ultimate CL7 unicorn! I've got a CL9 6 speed with some Euro R body parts and the super rare EDM duckbill! It is the perfect car the me. Double wishbone suspension, k24 with a perfect gearbox, and my favorite styled Honda 4 door ever. It's my forever car. They're super underrated and handle awesome! Seeing this on autofocus was quite the treat! Maybe down the road when I have finished my built k20a/k24 motor it will be something Larry could look at.
This is still one of my all time favourite whips. I owned a 04 TSX and miss her dearly.
As a Land Rover mechanic the first thing I thought when I saw the car was “oh that door light is defender number plate light” the poor guy trying to figure that out. It’s quite common in British motorsport for them to be used on rally cars as number plate lights as well
You can tell Willem still emotionally attached to it too... I feel him
The first Spoon car I ever saw in person. So many good memories with this particular chassis...
So happy you guys featured the Euro r, I love this car.
Yeah it’s a very unknown car
Hopefully we will see another Honda winner on this track later this year! 💪🏼
Amazing Car! Glad this was cared for & rebuilt by such a genuine Honda enthusiast 👏
This car inspired 16yo me to build a 475 hp turbo H22 accord back in the day around 2005
I would like to shake your hand....crazy dope
The outro is always my favorite part of any of larrys videos
The fact that Will said there’s a lot of differences between the tsx and euro r, and just mentioned the calipers 🤣
Honestly was expecting more, nevertheless it’s an awesome vehicle
Momo steering wheel ,recaro seats , callipers , euro r floor matts , no chrome around doors in euro r , euro r comes with differnt skirts and lights
Dude! That was a-maze-ing. The drag race across the start/fin line must have been rad to see in person. Thank you sir!
NOT A 1991.
Ahhh yaaaa they know the cars number is 91 so u know they talking about a particular car.
Yes!!! I own a standard euro with the better k24 ;) 6spd manual iland i love it, was going to paint my car the same yellow they used aswell 💛
I had a euro r. Can honestly say it was the best race/family car I had.
I’ve been waiting for this!!!
It's soo epic!
Cl9/7 prices about to spike soon
6 Speed manuals one have held there values already. Especially the 06-08 ones.
@@iheartgs400 I had a 6spd 05 but it was modified from the ground up type s gears,LSD mfactory, and I had a rebuilt short block with 11:5.1 compression was gonna be a sleeper build until it got hit but maybe in the future I’ll build another one hopefully 07/08 this time and I’m also looking forward to see an awd conversion for the chassis since we couldn’t get the factory cl8’s in the states
@@itsreallytheo yeah 06-08 is where at it they had the K24 so button down for those years.
I put a k24a2 in my 03 crv 5speed.
@@vipereagle7446 i had a type s swap was gonna put in a 2.0 like the cl7 accord but i sold the parts and scrapped the shell
that needs to still be will’s car, not the other guys
Why ? Because he uses it like it should be used instead of staying in a shop next to 5 others project cars ?
I've owned DC2s, EP3s and DC5s all of which were awesome, but the K24 Type-s Accord Estate I owned was bloody amazing. It outpaced many more capable cars than it should have, I used it to move and renovate 2 houses, sadly it died after that. So happy to watch this video!
We need more black ppl in Motorsports. We can drive cars too. Thank you for the feature! Love the car and love Will’s Lexus
Knock off the race BS there’s “ black”people in motor sports already .. what do you want? a specific number that fits your liking to feel as if it’s enough? Stop being weird. Majority of the big time motor sport guys aren’t even American lol
@@MADLITS1K I'm pretty sure he means featured on big time channels or news.
Who cares what colour anyone is? If you can drive you can drive, if you can't you can't.
We need more white guys in the NBA....
Now didn't that sound dumb? If they have what it takes...they'll make it..
@@bsfunk44 the leauge was dominated by white people. In the early conception of the game.
Dear God, please get Larry the Opera Performance S2000 for an autofocus 🙏
My favorite part about race footage is having CC on and it says [Music] when there's nothing but an engine screaming through the gears.
Amen brother!
Such a pleasure driving the CL9 chassis, owned 3 of them 05, 06 and 08 6 Speed an amazing chassis.
I saw this thing on a trailer on the 57N few months back. I geeked out seeing it. Awesome story and Will is a badass. One of the best episodes
Thanks for the Euro R content Larry. These are such cool Hondas.
Totally agree with the concept of 4 door racecars being the best lol. Sweet build.
Why does the thumbnail say '91? It's bothering us lol....
Made my day seeing this episode, I have pics of this vehicle up in my garage, where I park my own 03' CL7
Makes me love my tsx more.
I had a neighbor in Florida who had a spoon sports accord in his garage. I’ve seen the VIN tag and all it’s always been a dream. Story goes he bought it from a race team that went broke in California
Love Honda’s.
LOVVVEEE HONDA GUYS!
honda civic ef rear arm rest.. known as the unicorn only one none to have bin sold by a mate of mine for £2500
The track racing took me back to Gran Turismo! That was insane just going back to 2004 looking at those cars racing! Wow! I love all cars but nothing like a lightweight import around a track or touge!!
Hi guys, I just bought a November 2008 Euro R Accord in Pearl White from Japan, can't wait to get it guys, by the way, a lot of people don't know the engine in the Accord Euro R is slightly different to the engine in the Integra Type R, the Accord engine has a Balance Shaft fitted to the Crank, the Integra engine doesn't have it fitted, just some useless information for you, drive safe guys.
Sick sick car and love the fact it’s enjoyed on track by the most enthusiast ex owner, but comparing it to an M3 hurt my feelings 😅
Love those cars, their soo underrated!
Got an 04 tsx with 220,000 miles and still kicking 💪
Honda car builds have the best storys.
I love any Honda product. Over engineered and de-tuned to last forever.
'91?
Ikr?! wth?!
@@JDMEXforme The description had me baffled too- I thought the company had been sold from the way its written!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught that
goes to show they're idiots
Thats gotta be like an 04+ right?
A grocery getter with the suspension the civic and integra should of had.
That's true! :)
Bested 2 S2k’s with my TSX last event in NASA TT 1st in class both days. Thanks @Hoosier🥇. Running TT and the upcoming Sunchaser 6hr enduro. “If you want it you can win” cars for real.
What a fantastic episode!! All these guys and cars are so awesome..i cant wait for next year!!
need that feature on dudes isf
Hey my 1995 civic hatchback is a 5 passenger car also and it came with only about a 105 hp if I'm not wrong, so I don't understand why you keep saying that the over 200hp spoon car is a grocery get
I have a 2011 accord euro R-spec CU2 luxury-best car I’ve ever owned in 35 years.
Love the car, but I really didn't understand why you guys were saying so many normal car guy things were Honda car guy things. That bolt is just a bolt, and anyone, anywhere could have done something similar.
Spoon is the bees fugging knees! Got Honda into some races and won. Showed the world that regular Honda cars can be made to race!!
Loved the on track footage! Huge bonus 🔥 I'm always nerding out for these honda features, keep it coming Larry 👀
CRX, TSX, NSX, this guy has the triple crown of Honda "SX" cars 😂
man i should ever have sold my EG hatch, built in the late 90s early 2000s sold in 2006 i had almsot every spoon part available for it and other piece from Mugen and Jun all super rare or now super expensive tpday
So awesome 😱
That’s not a ‘91...
Ahhhh ya it is look on the car that’s its number. It’s so u know they just aren’t talking about any spoon car.
There's just something about older Honda/Acuras that do it for me! Old Civics, Integra's, NSX, EG hatch, Accords etc... So so good!!
Same man, same goes with old EK9s!!! Yeah, it might not be that fast like a supercar level, but there's something with them that makes me genuinely happy!! I've been connected with old Civic hatchbacks like the EK ever since I was a kid!!! I genuinely love the old tuning scene of time attack and touge builds of them and I used to watch them on Best motoring and video option as well!!!! Remembering those good old days makes me tear up!!! No hype or whatsoever, just pure love and connection of those machine!!
@@UguisuAnko12 yeah! My dream car/lottery garage -
Integra Type R (white)
CRX Si
Kenmari Skyline
Hakosuka Skyline
Mk4 Supra etc
Influencers/RUclipsrs can keep the McLarens, Lambos etc.
The Super Street/Wings West 99 Civic Si Sema show car, is my grail.
Love this chassis and this specific car. Have always loved spoon since gran turismo 3. Me and my wife just purchased a 2016 Acura ILX and it definitely inherited its vibe and attitude from these early accord R’s. Great feature!
Ilx is just a fancy civic. Not an accord in any way.
@@Tixbomber sure but the size of the car, the engine, all the chassis stiffening gives off a similar vibe to what these accord r’s used to be. The accords of current time are way to big in comparison to the car in this feature.
@@HighhScore You must love the new 11th gen Honda Accorn. I mean Civic's. That's your Civic that embodies the Accord. Not an Ilx. Quite literally. It's a smaller carbon copy of the Accord. It just won't get the K20c.
Whats the episode number /series of 5th Gear with Tiff Needel that covers the 25h / 24h of Silverstone this car won? Couldn't find it in a search in RUclips.
Tiff is so cool. Loved him since I saw his test of the McLaren F1 back in the day on Kazaa. Sorry can't help with your question though

@@davidzebar6876 thanks a lot David 👍👍
@@k24hybrid let me know if you find where you can watch the episode. I can't find it anywhere
Anyone found the fifth gear episode they were talking about?
Love this rescued old race car content you’ve been churning out lately. Nice job!
The British touring car championship wing is an awesome touch
i like how this car is going to revive gt7
I’m trying to get a daily first car CL7 and debating if I should get a 145k km vs 100k km mileage car in which the 100k km mileage car cost $30k HKD more . Not sure if I should stick to the high mileage one as it will depreciate less anyways and not worth it for the added money for 45k km more mileage. What do you think? The 100k of course looks better with some mugen parts and 145k has a Js racing exhaust.
I finally got my first car - and it’s a CL7r, in white with J’s Racing carbon hood and Spoon bumper!!
CL9s are simply terrific.
I'm glad you interviewed that gentleman 😀
Great content man, I love a good race car story.
Im always fascinated by honda raching and its history
These things are super under-appreciated, I really want to build one someday.
Yeah they are give it time they will be cherished🔥
4doors are epic!! Owned Cl9 and just love them..and now owns Accord Type R (Ch1).! Reminds me of the old great Btcc from 90is.!! Should be moore of Accord Spoons done!😍 How much is the weight? Gotta be close to only a 1ton.
Best episode in a while! Love this car
Of course it was in sf😂😂 home of tsx Nd tls
18:20 Jackie Ding just hanging in the back.
Hi everyone,I bought a 2005 Honda Accord Euro luxury CL9 about 12 months ago now and ime absolutely In love with it I've always owned little runaround cars, but this is something else wow,I I love the video and car you you've got their,👍
Keen to see wills Lexus
Thanks Larry. This video makes me happy :D I still own my CL9 Acura TSX 05 and modified it to look like the EuroR. Still get people giving me a thumbs up while grabbing groceries. The Spoon EuroR grabbed my attention when I was a teenager mos definitely.
Thanks for sharing this video with everyone!
Amazing ride! Looks better in person 😎
What a cool story. Cool car(s) and cool people always make for excellent videos. The trunk holder was the best part of this build, haha! And the track footage in the end was *chef's kiss* ! Good job Larry, Louis, Leaf and Tyler.
I have a Acura tsx 2006!
I think the Accord is possibly a great platform for a racer. It's Honda, it has the suspension design that will keep up with most aftermarket goods. Engines can be built to perform and it's a good size car for the midsize coupe or sedan touring car section. They handle out of the box! 💥🇯🇵
Man i got to start watching best motoring again, i used towatch that for hours in a row, thats how i learned about spoon, especially the s2000.Lovely jdm content.👍✌️👉
I have the mk7 accord cl9 k24 and even that is an awesome car with a cold air, hondata ecu and an exhaust... too bad I couldn't afford a Euro R, the are minimum £7,000 PepeHands
Old Acutech race car from south San Francisco. The hood flew up and dented the roof. Old man he bought it from had it fixed before the sale.
Looks like a tsx lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of my favorite cars, love the whole 4 door vibe. And as a bonus, the Jackie Ding Supra in the background of the pits.
I love my CL9 just picked it up and bringing it back to life.
Looks like a 04-08 TSX.
I miss my cl9. Previous owner tried to convert it to a cl7 look, and painfully failed but it was definitely a fun car. Made my cw2 kick rocks.
that isn't a '91... CL9 was a much later model than the CB7... but still very cool
I agree with Will. 4dr for the win. The real question is what does he do for a living and can he hire me????? Lol
i remember this car also, i had a white 04 tsx with gold te37, was so pretty. miss it!
