@@Eggsplanepls Literally Anyone can just slap on a turbo charger and produce more hp. It's really not that difficult. My point is straight line speed can be simply and easily done.
If this car landed into a American hand or even some western part of the world, they will immediately plant a turbo to it. Some may ended up with ridiculous super negative camber to achieve low stance. FUGLY rear wing spoiler and let the engine bay go naked with chrome out parts. Neon lights under carriage etc...

@@ArtVandelayOfficial yes, that was released a few months later and it take the crown but the N1 version 1 wasn't a patch on the EK9. It's only when they released the N2 version that it was quicker, but they had to do a number of changes for it to perform better. I'd still have na EK9 as they look cooler, maybe the N2 version for track.
Love your video but this guys from spoon sometimes seem to have difficulty to explain technical things. Would it not be better to ask in japanese snd just translate? I mean, it might be ambarassing for him ? Otherwise its perfect

Thank you so much Captain for reviewing the EK9 Civic Type R! I was waiting for that review for 1 year. Great it is even a Spoon refined EK9. I really appreciate Jomoto san's explanations in english. As always really interesting side facts about the tuning like weight savings and the caliper clearances for the different wheel types. Great build Im really looking forward to get some of the parts for my EK9.
Awesome video. Coincidentally i also watched yesterday the best motoring video you mentioned, where Ichisima San and Tsuchiya San explain the oil grade recommendations. Hope to see a part 2 of the testing.
Pay close attention everyone; these are the cars of the future for enthusiasts, not electric garbage. Regular people will pootle around in their EV rubbish, enthusiasts will be rebuilding SIMPLE cars from the 90's and earlier and keep them going forever with the help of alternative fuels.
I had the EUDM EK4 (160hp B16A2 engine). Definitely not the JDM EK9, but what a machine! Made 200'000km with it, loved the VTEC so much. Never had any issues.
Please nẽxt time about the súpension can you ask why they are using a such stiff spring ? When every other brand, especially the eu one like kw, bilstein are using much lower rates? And looking at some owner review, eu suspension seem to be better especially on bumpy road. Thank you!
Meanwhile kW and blisten etc brands suspension have few series. By default from factory come with the car, it not meant for track use. At most street sport for daily drive in some of car models. So you cannot compare a type R vs a daily car or even a normal street sport.
@@mushy18100 Super sick, people keep telling me do B20, but I am not addicted to power, I just want a period correct build. I’m going to make it look like the one in Initial D lol! I guess like you said “EK9 inspired”. I’m not gunna worry about welding the chassis or anything, I honestly don’t do much racing anymore, I just like to cruise around and occasionally do back roads.
Nice to see Ichishima san. Have just bought spoon dampers and springs for my DC2. Can’t wait. Really good kit. Rest of. Rest of car recently rebushed with Hardrace bushings so it will feel awesome I’m sure
This was awesome! I’d love to learn more about the SYMS yellow wagon from the mid 90’s (that had itb’s)I’ve never heard an English explanation on that vehicle.
You're looking at Spoon archival footage pre-refresh and GT's modern footage. The delete panel you see in the archival footage from the mid to late 2000's has the panel. The refresh probably doesn't have it because it may have been lost, or broken during dismantling and rebuild. Or maybe from the 00's to the 20's it was removed for weight savings or for any number of reasons. Late in the video before they drive it, he pops the camera inside, and you see the delete panel is gone. All the previous driving footage up till then was Spoons footage they most likely gave him to use in the review.
Spoon's philosophy is all about the finer points of refinement while respecting the original experience. It's really my favorite philosophy.
Total barance
agreed
Just remember... spoon could have increased the power output by SOOO MUCH more, but they decide not to ;)

Yes, the most horsepower per litre of any engine at the time, not just 1.6's

Thing of beauty, I will make sure my kids know about you CAPT!
half spoon,this car should have meter spoon,spoon wheel,side mirror spoon,& plug cover spoon 😇😇
that spoon guy: YESSss..
awesome content GTChannel!

Like waking up Christmas Morning!!!
I could see Captain Bradford wanted that Spoon coat of his. 😂👍🏻

Stiff spring for track use, all type R cars are build for track ready in mind which even the FD2R by default are stiff too.
Meanwhile kW and blisten etc brands suspension have few series. By default from factory come with the car, it not meant for track use. At most street sport for daily drive in some of car models. So you cannot compare a type R vs a daily car or even a normal street sport.
You should get a rundown of the touge maou machines, like J's Racing S2000 or FEED RX-7!
My dream car . Thank you for reviewing it 🙏🏼🔥❤️
When Capt. Can't speak while driving, you know that beyond word to describe the car and requires full focus to tame the beast.
Excellent review Capt.
WHERE did you get that sick Honda jacket!? Please, I need one :))
*_Hell yeah!_*
Love this car and the way it has been put together, i wish they still made stuff for the CL7 Euro r..........Please ask them to!
Should have interviewed him in Japanese and translated...
OoooooOOOOooooo This is why you hadn't done a EK9 video yet! well played :) great content as always.
The stripe is giving off DX vibes. Everything else is suprem!!
i never see ek9 with rolls royce coachline signature
7.5 million yen
Fine things can be pricey.
thats the cost of the car with the rebuid?
@@Wolf-or6ws yes, try search web option English version

Dare we ask how much it costs to have Spoon build something like this 🙉
priceless if Spoon put that efford into your own car
@@nfspeedy2 oh I'm sure there is a price.....a really large one. Agree that it would be amazing though

We should appreciate his work👍he is doing hard work since 13 years he should have at least 20m subs
I think some basic sound mixing cold have brought up the quiet dialog.
Lol so it’s a refurbished type r from type one? With a tune and cosmetic goodies
All cool but wheels 🤢🤢🤢
Classic
Such an icon car...
OMG, a decal!!! Joking....I love this car.
More please
Dope
How dyou feel?
I CANT SPEAK RIGHT NOW
Wish next can review legendary sunny tuning shop pit road
Asking really annoying questions about the ek9
Just have them speak Japanese next time. Much more classic.
I finally saved up some dough. How do i get one to the states?
I have that same book too but it looks slightly different
nice

Do magazines like that exist in English?
Where can I buy that jacket that Captbradford is wearing?
unfortunately its discontinued since the late 90's

It doesn’t have sw388
I wonder how much it costs for this package plus install?
a kidney :)
There is a video in your ads
now this is the shit i like
pure knowledge...
Any idea where to buy those spoon jacket online?
They are a collab with Eat Sleep Race. Can find on Spoonusa.com but believe they are sold out at the moment.
I've just got my yesterday and they're super.
thankyou
Amazing car !
So siiick.
Love it!
The stripe is disgusting 🤢 🤮...
You have the judgment not to buy or buy it.
@@mushy18100 that doesn’t even make sense. You have the ability not to comment.
The EK9 is definitely one of the best hot hatches of all time
Best fucking video on spoon, thank you!!!! This is worth gold
I can’t get over how much the host looks like Alex Albon. Maybe it’s just me
A standard EK9 is the most overrated Type R ever. Should had come with a 1.8 liter.
Getting famous off of comments day 248, so I can live the dream, live every day like it’s your last🤙🤙🤙
