Spoon Engines???

Hey, I keep on hearing the name spoon engines and I have no clue what it is. So can someone please help me out and give me the specs on it and what makes it different from a regular engine

Stop watching the fast and the furious...


spoon = over priced rebuilt motor

LOL!!! yea spoon motors are rebuilt honda engines that cost a ton but are kicking.

and i heard you also have to rebuild them frequently

Spoon basically does a blueprint/balance on the motor, and sets the parts to their own settings and tolerances. In order to keep the motor running properly, well you have to get them "reset" to those tolerances rather often.

its all F&F hype...

I absolutely HATE F&F...look what its done to the world...

half the world doesn't know what a skyline is...

when F&F2 comes out...half the world will be wanting one...

....with NAWS.. :rolleyes:

i take that back... i don't exactly hate the movie itself, i find it very interesting....i just hate the way people think its real...

I like the movie cuz of the cars. I aint as far into the "I hate altezzas", I hate most body kits" as most of you around here. I do hate those damn aluminum spoilers except tho, cept on certain cars.

when did they mention spoon in F&F? i don't think i've watched the whole movie through yet, cuz the story is bullsh.

"I just checked their cars, and Hector's gonna be running 3 Honda Civics with Spoon Engines, and on top of that, he came by to the store today and picked up 3 T-66 Turbos, with NOS and a MOTEC system exhaust"

That's the part where Brian is caught by Dominic, checking Hector's garage.

I personally like the movie even though the story is crap and they are mistaken in a lot of stuff (like in the part of the movie scripted before, Brian talks of the MOTEC Exhaust as if it were a type of exhaust, not as a manufacturer) this movie does it's job of entretaining me for the duration of the movie, and I'm looking forward for the sequel.

Oh god no please no.Ive never thought of this.
Your statement makes me think. When 2f&F comes out will everyone run to get the cheapest Skyline (1990 R32 gts is only 20,000) just to say they drive a skyline and be 'cool'?

But then again i dont know I liked the 1st movie. It was kinda like porn for car people.
In porn theres never a plot just like F&F.

i think its so sad...

i got eclipse's rolling around my city with the exact paint job as the green eclipse in F&F - actually...its EXACTLY like it...wing and everything...but then the engine is STOCK

I don't know what they're trying to do by making an F&F clone...get their car drafted into the next F&F..? :rolleyes:

don't they realize that car was blown up in the first one...and its never coming back? :hehehe:

i mean...its sorta hard to claim that its the car that actually came from the moving....considering that theres about 5 other guys rolling around the city that looks exactly like theirs...


and the skyline thing....I think i'm gonna cry.... :(

$20,000 for a 1990 GTS? Wow are you fools getting ripped off... HAHA!

oh, and here in lima there's a 97 Celica that's painted like the F&F's Eclipse with the wing and all....I think it's the ricest car I've ever seen :p, but tastes are tastes...

And good analogy, voodoo!! :D

No shit,people over here are paying $20,000 for $9000 cars.What a waste.

i would prefer getting the R32 GTR
that is the only skyline of that model that is worth it.
how much do skylines cost nowadays???

depends on where you're from...

an r34 gtr will prolly run ya around 75-90K imported into the US.

Doesn't Motorex charge 95k for a R34. That's the last year, but still it's no Ferrari. Here's how you do it. Join the Army. Get stationed in Asia. Buy a Skyline there and they'll ship it back when you come back to the US. There was a guy selling an R32 on ebay saying that you would get delivery of the car in 6 months when he got back. Shitty auction, but a nice deal if you're in the army.

I fucking hate FATF. They've made CRXs so expensive it's not worth it.

funny how they can hit almost 200mph in a quarter mile that last 3 mins w/room for almost 4 stages of nos.... :rolleyes:


my bad.....NNAAWWSS

Dude you can buy them in Japan for $2,000

The first street race scene is supposed to be a full mile... and considering that the cars are all for show, it would prolly take them the 3 mins to get to the end:D

lol - good point

So basically spoon aint sh*t,:bigthumb: because i searched everywhere and all i could find was a rebuilt engine that wasnt worth jack squat, and im thinking i knew it was bullsh*t

i dont think it would be "sh*t"... its expensive, but if u race professionally and have sponsers, it MAY be worth it. Not for a street application though :bigthumb:

Its not that they are worth jackshit... Spoon is a very quality name, they just have no place in a daily driver. If you wanted a race prepped motor for your track car... and didnt have an inhouse building team then sure it would be worth it.
