- By now you should know that Spoon Sports is one of the greatest Honda racecar builders/tuners in the game. And although it recently changed hands, it was brought back to life by Willem Drees - a die-hard Honda nerd. And now after selling the car to a good friend, it continues to see proper usage at places like Gridlife Time Attack.

@Derek Brycen it worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
@Kieran Clyde You are welcome :)
"4 door racecars are the coolest thing ever"
Say no more fam, you are spitting truth
As a CL9 owner, this video made my day! Thank you Larry!
Bruhhhh same 😍😍😍
Those cars are so sexy!
Same here
My '05 TSX was my favorite car. Not techiqually a Euro-R but it always surprised ppl w/ how quick and nimble it was after the work I put into it.
I like Will, he basically saw that car from the start to letting it go. Reminds me of a dad
love this video! So much fun to learn more about another Spoon Sports built race car. I’m a huge fan of the Accord Euro R.
Damn larry kicked that other dude to the curb lol
Thank God he did 😂
Soo glad someone said it
@@beratsbuilds Yea he had to. After the guy kept repeating himself I felt like he wouldnt know much
@@burntchickennugget191 IT WAS ON TOP GEAR fifth... fuck this
Yeah but he has the not you 😆
As a tsx owner thank you for this!!! This made my day and so amazing!! Would love to see this car in person
This is still one of my all time favourite whips. I owned a 04 TSX and miss her dearly.
The more I listen to him, the more respect I have for his work.
Amazing dude!
The ultimate CL7 unicorn! I've got a CL9 6 speed with some Euro R body parts and the super rare EDM duckbill! It is the perfect car the me. Double wishbone suspension, k24 with a perfect gearbox, and my favorite styled Honda 4 door ever. It's my forever car. They're super underrated and handle awesome! Seeing this on autofocus was quite the treat! Maybe down the road when I have finished my built k20a/k24 motor it will be something Larry could look at.
The first Spoon car I ever saw in person. So many good memories with this particular chassis...
Year 2000, Spoon entered the 24H Nurburgring race for the first time and finished 1st in class, 32nd overall.
The story about the door light made me lol- being in the UK as soon as I saw it at the start of the video I thought "weird, its got a Land Rover number plate light on the door. hmm"
Dude! That was a-maze-ing. The drag race across the start/fin line must have been rad to see in person. Thank you sir!
So happy you guys featured the Euro r, I love this car.
Yeah it’s a very unknown car
Love this rescued old race car content you’ve been churning out lately. Nice job!
I saw this thing on a trailer on the 57N few months back. I geeked out seeing it. Awesome story and Will is a badass. One of the best episodes
Thanks for the Euro R content Larry. These are such cool Hondas.
Mr. Chen this has been a fantastic series between these two. I absolutely grew up with these vehicles and so many more. Well done the drivers and previous owner are legends for keeping these alive and well.
This was great! thank you so much for this content and the people that put their passion in these cars
I've owned DC2s, EP3s and DC5s all of which were awesome, but the K24 Type-s Accord Estate I owned was bloody amazing. It outpaced many more capable cars than it should have, I used it to move and renovate 2 houses, sadly it died after that. So happy to watch this video!
Amazing Car! Glad this was cared for & rebuilt by such a genuine Honda enthusiast 👏
I had a neighbor in Florida who had a spoon sports accord in his garage. I’ve seen the VIN tag and all it’s always been a dream. Story goes he bought it from a race team that went broke in California
The CL7 Accord Euro R = best looking Accord ever, I miss my ex Satin Silver one dearly (traded her in for an FK8 CTR)
Thanks Larry. This video makes me happy :D I still own my CL9 Acura TSX 05 and modified it to look like the EuroR. Still get people giving me a thumbs up while grabbing groceries. The Spoon EuroR grabbed my attention when I was a teenager mos definitely.
Thanks for sharing this video with everyone!
As a Land Rover mechanic the first thing I thought when I saw the car was “oh that door light is defender number plate light” the poor guy trying to figure that out. It’s quite common in British motorsport for them to be used on rally cars as number plate lights as well
Made my day seeing this episode, I have pics of this vehicle up in my garage, where I park my own 03' CL7
Loved the on track footage! Huge bonus 🔥 I'm always nerding out for these honda features, keep it coming Larry 👀
What a fantastic episode!! All these guys and cars are so awesome..i cant wait for next year!!
You can tell Willem still emotionally attached to it too... I feel him
Such a pleasure driving the CL9 chassis, owned 3 of them 05, 06 and 08 6 Speed an amazing chassis.
I had a euro r. Can honestly say it was the best race/family car I had.
Spoon is the bees fugging knees! Got Honda into some races and won. Showed the world that regular Honda cars can be made to race!!
I knew I was gonna like this video.. and as a proud Honda fanboi.. it delivered. This video is oozing with passion.
What a cool story. Cool car(s) and cool people always make for excellent videos. The trunk holder was the best part of this build, haha! And the track footage in the end was *chef's kiss* ! Good job Larry, Louis, Leaf and Tyler.
It’s great to see a hero from my childhood JDM fanboi days live again. I see too many videos and pics of many of these rotting away in a shed or field after they’ve been used up and dumped like trash 😓
The outro is always my favorite part of any of larrys videos
The track racing took me back to Gran Turismo! That was insane just going back to 2004 looking at those cars racing! Wow! I love all cars but nothing like a lightweight import around a track or touge!!
Best episode in a while! Love this car
Great content man, I love a good race car story.
One of my favorite cars, love the whole 4 door vibe. And as a bonus, the Jackie Ding Supra in the background of the pits.
What a great review. Thank you !
Hi everyone,I bought a 2005 Honda Accord Euro luxury CL9 about 12 months ago now and ime absolutely In love with it I've always owned little runaround cars, but this is something else wow,I I love the video and car you you've got their,👍
I'm glad you interviewed that gentleman 😀
Awesome video! Great cars and people!
I’ve been waiting for this!!!
It's soo epic!
I love the Ride along and the battle Royal at the end! Semper Fi and Can Do OORAH
Love this chassis and this specific car. Have always loved spoon since gran turismo 3. Me and my wife just purchased a 2016 Acura ILX and it definitely inherited its vibe and attitude from these early accord R’s. Great feature!
Ilx is just a fancy civic. Not an accord in any way.
@@Tixbomber sure but the size of the car, the engine, all the chassis stiffening gives off a similar vibe to what these accord r’s used to be. The accords of current time are way to big in comparison to the car in this feature.
@@HighhScore You must love the new 11th gen Honda Accorn. I mean Civic's. That's your Civic that embodies the Accord. Not an Ilx. Quite literally. It's a smaller carbon copy of the Accord. It just won't get the K20c.
Yes!!! I own a standard euro with the better k24 ;) 6spd manual iland i love it, was going to paint my car the same yellow they used aswell 💛
Totally agree with the concept of 4 door racecars being the best lol. Sweet build.
There's just something about older Honda/Acuras that do it for me! Old Civics, Integra's, NSX, EG hatch, Accords etc... So so good!!
Same man, same goes with old EK9s!!! Yeah, it might not be that fast like a supercar level, but there's something with them that makes me genuinely happy!! I've been connected with old Civic hatchbacks like the EK ever since I was a kid!!! I genuinely love the old tuning scene of time attack and touge builds of them and I used to watch them on Best motoring and video option as well!!!! Remembering those good old days makes me tear up!!! No hype or whatsoever, just pure love and connection of those machine!!
@@UguisuAnko12 yeah! My dream car/lottery garage -
Integra Type R (white)
CRX Si
Kenmari Skyline
Hakosuka Skyline
Mk4 Supra etc
Influencers/CZcamsrs can keep the McLarens, Lambos etc.
The Super Street/Wings West 99 Civic Si Sema show car, is my grail.
Amazing ride! Looks better in person 😎
CL9s are simply terrific.
Love my euro from down under. This thing is a historic beast.
These things are super under-appreciated, I really want to build one someday.
Yeah they are give it time they will be cherished🔥
Man i got to start watching best motoring again, i used towatch that for hours in a row, thats how i learned about spoon, especially the s2000.Lovely jdm content.👍✌️👉
I love my CL9 just picked it up and bringing it back to life.
The fact that Will said there’s a lot of differences between the tsx and euro r, and just mentioned the calipers 🤣
Honestly was expecting more, nevertheless it’s an awesome vehicle
Momo steering wheel ,recaro seats , callipers , euro r floor matts , no chrome around doors in euro r , euro r comes with differnt skirts and lights
I have a 2011 accord euro R-spec CU2 luxury-best car I’ve ever owned in 35 years.
Got an 04 tsx with 220,000 miles and still kicking 💪
Another timeless episode on hoonigan autofocus
I miss my cl9. Previous owner tried to convert it to a cl7 look, and painfully failed but it was definitely a fun car. Made my cw2 kick rocks.
Love those cars, their soo underrated!
i remember this car also, i had a white 04 tsx with gold te37, was so pretty. miss it!
Incredible video.
23:50 omg i am totally gonna steal that idea for my prelude build!!
This car inspired 16yo me to build a 475 hp turbo H22 accord back in the day around 2005
I would like to shake your hand....crazy dope
Love Honda’s.
LOVVVEEE HONDA GUYS!
Im always fascinated by honda raching and its history
Hopefully we will see another Honda winner on this track later this year! 💪🏼
From France with passion and respect ✌🏼⚜️🇨🇵😎
as a die hard honda fan, son of a tsx owner, this is the most epic thing ive seen!
I totally would love to see spoon buil in person, coolest thing ever
So awesome 😱
I think the Accord is possibly a great platform for a racer. It's Honda, it has the suspension design that will keep up with most aftermarket goods. Engines can be built to perform and it's a good size car for the midsize coupe or sedan touring car section. They handle out of the box! 💥🇯🇵
Cool spoon sport honda euro r!! 😎
Nice to still hear this Honda bounce off the rev limiter here and there
Oh you should’ve done a clip from Reel Steel with Noisy Boy at 5:00 hahaha!
Makes me love my tsx more.
Dude the story Willem tells about getting his dream car, just made my fricken week. Thank you for sharing this video.
My favorite part about race footage is having CC on and it says [Music] when there's nothing but an engine screaming through the gears.
Amen brother!
Honda car builds have the best storys.
this car is my desk top. beautiful car
one of my favorite video. . . this guy totaly me. . . . but with every single car i loved
Sick sick car and love the fact it’s enjoyed on track by the most enthusiast ex owner, but comparing it to an M3 hurt my feelings 😅
So clean 🧼
Makes me want to buy one even more
love the rare WRD racing polo :)
The British touring car championship wing is an awesome touch
I love these cars there reliable stylish they might not be the fastest cars but they are awsome to drive
So rad!
I love any Honda product. Over engineered and de-tuned to last forever.
Love this. And love my CL9
That intro just burst my ear drums.
I didn’t think you’d make this video. Fuck yes Larry
18:20 Jackie Ding just hanging in the back.
Bested 2 S2k’s with my TSX last event in NASA TT 1st in class both days. Thanks @Hoosier🥇. Running TT and the upcoming Sunchaser 6hr enduro. “If you want it you can win” cars for real.
Thts a beautiful classic
I love THIS
