Thanks for sharing Albo! A lot of good nuggets here about Spoon and their design philosophy. I like how they don’t make parts just to make them. There’s a purpose for everything 👏
It’s funny how everyone liked the clean look of the FL5 and that the previous people criticised for having a body kit. Now that Honda give us a German styled people need spoon and mugen to make body kits
does your fl5 overheat? You drive it hard on the track? I'm honestly scared that they would be as useless as the FK8 were on the track. The FK8 is 3 laps, let it cool for a while, repeat. That car was really a let down.
If I understand Jomoto-san correctly, the rear wing at it's lowest setting is generating more than enough downforce without setting it to max. So, the updates on the wing will be a slightly less aggressive looking angles on the main wing, especially when they need the car to be more slippery; because too much downforce is such a drag really.
Real cool content . I’m appreciating even more every day my FL5 here from Florida 🤙🏽 I love this car ! Looking forward to plan a trip back to Tokyo. type one is on the radar 🙌🏽
Such a cool job to have.I would love being in that type of research.Wasn't sure the cooling issue but a plastic hood moves about such as with the pro drifts,allowing heat escape. 😊
This is what I love about Spoon Sports!!! Most of their vehicles like the EK9, DC2 Integra, and this one aren't really loud or aggressive (except to their S2k ofc), it's just subtle and more refined. Sure they have their own custom front splitter, side skirts and wing but it ain't like any other typical aftermarket widebody kits and tho it's just subtle, they're all functional tho. It's not always about brute power or speed but rather refined performance of the car, driving experience and the connectivity between a man and the machine. Totally love it!!!!
Me and my friend are going to japan in July this year and im so excited! I really want to see the real jdm culture and car culture in Japan, but i dont know where to start looking and go. Love the videos man keep it up
Albo, how did the shift knob feel? Currently have an ‘08 Fit and a new Si on order. Been looking at the Spoon shift knob for a long time and I could use it for now until my Si comes. Keep up the great content!
This is William Park from Burbank and I wish I could be in Kapan living the life of luxury, like you and Sammit( yeah I know Sammit and the other yuotubers in Japan, including yourself).
Watching this video for the third time 😮💨😮💨 Albo, I would love for you to do a follow up video at Spoon discussing all of the latest and greatest products currently offered and future products in development. Cheers 🍻
The one thing that Honda had with the Type R was that it used to be affordable, a great car for younger people to gte into the hot hatch market and have fun, but the last 2 gens skyrocketted t he price pretty much into unattainable for the target audience, which is a huge shame and miss from honda IMO.
It is with great confidence that I say: you're the only person in the world that would change a 2-person rear seat for a 3-person rear seat. 🥴 Finally more brands are making a 2-person rear seat! 👏👍
Absolutely have to respect everyone's taste and opinions. It's nice you've found a new car you're so in love with and can enjoy and share that passion. The toxic slip up on the Supra is discouraging, so many car manufacturers borrow from each other and what Toyota have done is genius. For me the FL5 is in a different league to the 86, Z and Supra but not in a preferable way.
They didn't borrow, they literally took and rebadged everything. Nothing on there is Toyota other than the badges. Saying what he said is toxic and don't you think that makes you toxic as well? Lmfao what happened to men? Getting sensitive like women now because of words. 😂
One thing i always laugh at introduction is Albo with hair because when i started watching your channel u already had no hair, and gotta say, u look much better without hair. Greetings from Brazil!
Hi bro, how are you? Bro, im looking at going to JP on January next year if God willing, Im looking forward to go to see those iconic JDM tuner shops, What should I do? Thank you brother. :)
Please please please use a steady cam. 🙏 You're making my head spin and can't freeze frame and see the background. I really wanted to see the other cars in there. Like the two DC2s.
I like the FL5 especially the front end. I only don't like that boot spoiler. I think something made and painted in the body colour would look much better... Also why are Type R Civic's not made as a 5 seater for us family men who like Honda?
