GT5 Transcripts/Spoon S2000 '00

Spoon, Japan's foremost independent Honda aftermarket tuner, built a race car out of the S2000 as soon as it went on sale. The expertise the company gained from its racing activities translated to a variety of well-engineered tuning parts and custom conversions of Honda's popular sports car, and one of them was the Spoon S2000.
The engine featured a number of new parts that included a new exhaust manifold, muffler and a larger throttle body, giving it more power than the normal version and enhancing the powerplant's low- and mid-range torque. Spoon took apart the entire S2000 drivetrain, including the transmission and driveshaft, and then reassembled it using high precision custom parts in key locations to improve performance, overall feel and durability. The already rigid body of the Honda was strengthened more via a strut tower bar and roll cage.
The car's cornering character was sharpened by installing a custom-built height-adjustable suspension system. It reduces body roll while giving it more compliance over harsh surfaces. The Spoon S2000 wasn't as one dimensional as many other tuner cars tended to be because the improvements made by Spoon not only improved the car's performance capabilities, it addressed and maintained its ability as a commuter. The Spoon S2000 is a better, more refined version of the original that embraced the virtues of Spoon's tuning principles.
