Default Saw, sat, and started the Spoon S2000



Well, somebody else pushed the button to start the car

I went down with a few friends to Gardena and see them prep the Spoon S2000 race car for this weekend's Long Beach IAS and for the media to check it out. I promised my friends that I will get as many people on this board to see it as possible on Saturday and Sunday, so if y'all are in SoCal, GO TO THE LONG BEACH IAS THIS WEEKEND!

The Spoon S2000 was simply awesome, but it doesn't have all the goodies that we sell (intake duct, header, etc.) mainly due to the endurance race's regulations - so don't be surprised if you don't see the parts you have on your car not on the racing S2000. It's got a kick ass exhaust that's super loud (of course), two Defi gauges inside the cockpit that was simply awesome (water and oil temp) to look at. Spoon seat (of course), stripped interior, and hardtop. The car is a 2002 (I'm assuming that based on the shiftknob - the only clue). The Spoon seat is surprisingly generous in terms of room - I mean, I can stuff my ass in it without too much discomfort (unlike the Mugen seat which I'm sure is made for people who're fit LOL).

The Spoon S2000 will be at the ZigZag Asia booth this weekend, along with Tommy Kaira (of the GT2/GT3 fame) Impreza (bored to 2.2L) WRX turbo.

I didn't take my camera with me so I didn't get to take any pics, but I'll be sure to do so this Friday at the show (trade reps only).

I'm planning on going to IAS this weekend to check out RevHard's new turbo setup. They're rushing to finish it right now, so they just want to get it looking pretty before the weekend (it wont be running yet). But from what Tom told me, it sounds like it will be a great kit.
