  1. Spoon Sports Roof Spoiler

    FYi, this is for the FK7 / Sport / Base Hatchbacks (non-Type R)... The FK7 / Base Civic Hatchback has no Roof-Spoiler standard and certainly no Wing like the Type R. Coincidentally, it fits on the FK8 (as the mounting points are all the same etc) which is why they put one on here for...

    ferio252 you beat me to it by 7 minutes ;) Of course this is their FK7 1.5T 6MT Demo car, but you can get an idea of how they will look on your Type R :) to register for Spoon FK8 and SW388 updates as they come to hand, please email: [email protected] and please include your location so...

  6. Gaijin Garage / Spoon Sports Type R Renders

    Japan wont be receiving their FK8's until late October early November - once they have the cars they will undertake testing and prototype parts.. We'll post up updates as they happen :)
  7. Gaijin Garage / Spoon Sports Type R Renders

    We've got a lot of items on the way but Japan hasn't received their cars yet. The Throttle Body price is a site error sorry, it's not available yet but it will be coming soon.
  8. Gaijin-Garage up close and personal with the new Type R

    You're correct but manufacturers have *special* plates allocated to them for this kind of circumstance, although Honda staff did only drive the car on the road once and that was from the shipping depot to the HQ.
  9. Gaijin-Garage up close and personal with the new Type R

    Magic Seats are originally from the Jazz / Fit - the rear seats fold UP, and also fold flat to the floor so it makes the entire rear cargo area massive, 9th Gen Civic 5 Doors have them but not this model :(
  10. Gaijin-Garage up close and personal with the new Type R

    Correct, just confirmed no Magic Seats in Type R or RS Hatch :( Also the Type R has a compressor and Goop - no spare or spacesaver !
  11. Gaijin-Garage up close and personal with the new Type R

    This one had the indicators / turn signals on the Right side of the wheel - unlike the FN2 / most European cars :) This is good so I wont be turning the wipers on every time I want to change lanes like in the FN2 ! Please note this is a Pre-Production PROTOTYPE though ;)
  12. Gaijin-Garage up close and personal with the new Type R

    We heard the FK8 was in town last week so we downed tools and got into spy mode - managed to track down the car and take some photos for you guys :) The only FK8 in Australia just happened to be in Perth this week, it's a Pre-Production-Prototype, that was used as the promo car for the...
  13. Civic Type R continues final tweaking on Nurburgring

    We went through this when the FK2 was testing at the 'Ring, manufacturer's can use a cage and are able to remove /replace components to compensate for the weight of the cage... what professional Race Driver would really want to jump into a production vehicle and go for record lap times WITHOUT a...
  14. The Civic Type R Exhaust

    HAHA you'll have to wait n see, let's just say that Spoon will certainly be supporting the new Civic Type R and also the 1.5 Turbo's !! Please consider that the USA will receive the car before Japan - so don't go too crazy on local offerings before you see what comes out of Japan :) We'll post...
  15. The Civic Type R Exhaust

    ... in the bin ! I look forward to replacing this with... shhhh ;)
  16. 2018 Civic Type R Could Debut in April (U.S.) with 335 BHP

    that's right, unless sales completely tank in the USA in the first year (highly doubtful!!!) it will be a standard line-up model, no limited edition.. it will most likely survive through to the facelift 10th gen in ~2 years time :D I understand you have some strange new-car-purchase laws in the...
  17. 2018 Civic Type R Could Debut in April (U.S.) with 335 BHP

    USA and the world already know it's coming, they just haven't seen the final production model or specs.. so to launch this at the car show only a matter of weeks before it's actual release in USA wouldn't be completely out of order, there's probably already a 6 month wait in USA from Pre-orders...
  18. 2018 Civic Type R Could Debut in April (U.S.) with 335 BHP

    I think this may be my first post on here :) I'll put it in bullet point form I think is easiest, for those that don't know me, my sources are somewhat credible ;) - CTR will be released in USA first, then UK/Europe, then Japan, then the rest of the world... (Australia may receive some cars...
  19. Gaijin Garage / Spoon Sports Type R Renders

    I can't say too much about development etc. apart from the 6-Piston Calipers from Spoon are already undergoing testing, they recently did 9-HOUR (!!!) race at Suzuka (in the middle of summer) and they performed exceptionally well however Spoon has a very comprehensive testing schedule including...
  20. Gaijin Garage / Spoon Sports Type R Renders

    It's a 3M Wrap - Brushed Alloy, probably cost you about $2,000 in vinyl alone but it's space-age vinyl, can actually be removed and re-used ! Amazing stuff, but very HEAVY !!
