Spoon Sports Type One 2024 Visit…

February 5, 2024 1 comment

I always try to make my way to Type One every time I go back to Japan. In year’s past I’d message Aaron from Spoon Sports USA to see if it was okay if I went over there, worrying we’d get in the way or something. Better to ask than to feel unwelcome, you know? Sometimes Aaron would even be there to show us around. Give us a full tour and show us some stuff the public doesn’t have access to. My friends and I have created some great memories at this place over the past decade. Nowadays I’ll just send a quick message to Jomoto from Spoon to let him know I’m coming by to say ‘hi’, no matter how brief the encounter. It’s one of those things where when you’re in town, you just cruise by to see a friend. It’s crazy to think I can even say that today…

Japanese Racing Legends At Fuji & A Visit To Spoon Sports!!…

March 2, 2023 0 comments

On our quest to see new things in Japan, we arrived in Fuji at the brand new Fuji Speedway Hotel! This scenic, and epic, hotel is situated right on the premises at the famed Fuji Speedway. This place has an incredible racing heritage so it only made sense to have a full collection of Japanese racing vehicles inside the hotel! “The Unbound Collection” was a sight to behold and the hotel itself was filled with some many fine details that every car enthusiast could appreciate. After exploring the hotel thoroughly and staying an evening there, we made our way back to Tokyo to visit Spoon Sports Type One. It has been a couple years since we have been back to Type One so we were excited to see what was new. Of all the videos I’ve put together during this 40-day long Japan adventure, this one is visually my favorite….

Esteban Gonzalez’s Spoon Sports K20 Fit in Photos…

August 4, 2020 1 comment

Esteban’s Spoon Sports-themed Honda Fit was featured on the Super Street website not too long ago, but I wanted to get my own photos of it when he came by last weekend for our YouTube Vlog “Drive-By” series. The car has seen some changes since its feature so it was important for me to capture its most recent iteration. This is probably one of the more anticipated cars we’ve put on the site as of late and likely one of the better builds to come out of 2020 thus far. I first saw it in-person when Gonzalez brought it to our one and only Chronicles and Coffee event this year. The Fit was pretty much done by that time but he mentioned that he was having more work done to it soon. A week later, I found out that the car was actually with our friend Ken Suen. He was tasked to put a new radiator in it and to fix some things to help alleviate some cooling issues it was having. For whatever reason, having a K-series inside a GE8 chassis presents itself with the engine running hot with increased intake air temperatures…

The K-Powered Spoon Fit We Never Knew We Needed……CHRNCLS Vlog 2020 #20

August 3, 2020 0 comments

I’d be the first one to tell you that we don’t highlight very many Honda Fits on this channel, but this one is a special one. We first spotted Esteban Gonzalez’s K-powered Honda Fit at our Chronicles and Coffee gathering a few months back. I was highly impressed with the collection of parts that it had, as well as the amount of work that went into it , that I knew it would be an ideal choice to have on an episode of our “Drive-By” series. Coincidentally enough, Esteban watched our first episode and was intrigued by our friend Ken Suen and his Civic. He needed some custom fabrication work done to his car so he contacted Ken and the Fit went over to him not long after the meet. I asked Esteban if he was interested in bringing his Spoon Fit by when the car was ready and he was more than happy to let us dig into it. Since Ken had become so familiar with the car, I asked him to stop by when we were filming as well so he could provide some of his own insight and also detail the work he put into it.

When all was said and done, I think the only takeaway from this year’s ‘I Heart Honda Festival’ was that it was just an all-around good time. I don’t even know if a deep dive is necessary. For a Honda enthusiast, this was an almost perfect setting to get together […]

I can’t even begin to tell you how good it feels to just be out at an event these days and being able to hang-out while shooting photos all day. Most of the time, I find myself multi-tasking, whether it be trying to do video, or judging the cars at […]
