All our eyes are focused on the Red Bull World Drifting Championship, we would almost forget that the Spoon NSX-R is doing its round during the Macua GP . Mike featured the car already but not in the state it is now. The driver, Tatsuru Ichishima, crashed the car after qualifying in 9 th place. In the last corner he lost control and crashed the car. Luckily the driver walked away without any harm, we only hope they can repair the car in time for the race. -Jeroen Willemsen Found on GT Channel

It's hard to choose between these two cars. Both cars are special in their own way. The S2000 GT1 build by Amuse and the Spoon S2000 have shown what they are worth. The cars you see in the pictures are customer cars photographed by Chester NG who lives in Hong Kong. Both customers have gone through the products database from their favorite tuner and ordered everything there was. I'm still a big fan of the ‘orange' Amuse S2000 that was used in several Hot Version DVD's. Keiichi...

The crew at Spoon Sports has been really busying getting their new NSX-R race car ready for next month's Macau Grand Prix. After first bringing the car out to the I Heart Honda!! event at Tsukuba Circuit last month, they continued their preparations by taking the NSX to Sportsland Sugo in Miyagi Prefecture yesterday for some testing. Yoshi at Spoon has been keeping me updated on the progress of the car and he sent me some photos taken yesterday during the testing session....

I know this is Porsche month, but after spending last Friday at Tsukuba Circuit for the first ever I Heart Honda!! event, I just can't seem to get the sound of screaming VTEC engines out of my head. What is it about Honda? Japan's automotive scene has no shortage of remarkable machines like high-powered GT-R highway racers, time attack Imprezas, four-door Toyota drift cars, or groundbreaking rotary cars, but there is just something special about Honda's performance cars. You can check out my earlier article about Honda's Collection Hall at Twin Ring Motegi for a little more on Honda's unique history and the brand's lifelong infusion with motorsports around the world. While Honda's in-house racing programs are nothing short of amazing, the I Heart Honda!! event was not really about Honda's factory racing ventures, but a celebration of Japanese Honda Tuning on a grand scale....

It's about 7pm on Friday night in Japan as I am writing this and man I am exhausted! I spent the day at Tsukuba Circuit shooting the inaugural I Heart Honda!! event which was hosted by Spoon Sports was basically a Honda enthusiast's paradise. I am tired, hungry, and could use a shower, but before I relax I couldn't resist posting a couple "teaser" photos of what went down at the event. This was the first time that Japan's Honda tuners have come together for a racing event of this type, and I don't think there is anyone who will say that I Heart Honda!! 2008 was not a smashing success. I am not exaggerating at all when I say that this was one of the best car events I have ever been to....

In just a few short years, the annual Honda-only gathering at the Eibach's facility in Southern California has become one of the most talked about events in the American tuning scene. Despite the growth of the drifting, VIP, and time attack movements, Hondas continue to be one of the most popular tuning platforms in the United States. The Eibach meet is the place to see all of the latest trends among the Honda crowd. This weekend was the big event, and Honda junkies braved the blazing hot SoCal...
