SPOON SPORTS is proud to newly release
offer an ALUMINUM RADIATOR for the 11th generation Civic Type R (FL5).
For sports driving, bringing out the
maximum performance without excessively stressing your car is important.
Keeping your engine cool is one of, if not the most important factor.
The turbo charged K20C engine of the FL5 generates a lot of heat, rapidly increasing the temperature of your cooling system which can become a burden when lapping the track. Replacing the thermostat or lowering the temperature to trigger the cooling fan can help to slow the temperature rise, but ultimately, the radiator should be upgraded. The prototype radiator with a core thickness of 42mm was put to the test and confirmed at the Thunderhill 25 Hours Endurance Race. Afterwards, we further tested on our street car and found that because the AC condenser is located in front of the radiator, an improved cooling system was also critical for street use. That is why we decided to release this racing-spec radiator to enjoy the car on the street and on track without stress.
Both upper and lower tanks made from billet aluminum, core thickness 42mm. Use with THERMOSTAT 19301-FK8-000 recommended. Please cut the radiator hose by 10mm for installation.
SPOON SPORTS now offers a BONNET VENT
CARBON for the 11th generation Civic Type R (FL5).
The Civic Type R (FL5) is known to lack cooling capacity when it comes to prolonged sports driving. In addition to our release of low-temp thermostats and increased capacity radiators, we have developed a bonnet duct with improved cooling capability. We’ve widened the louvered-opening to maximize the air duct surface. The front end of the duct is shaped like a fin pointing upward, creating an airflow to induce hot air from the engine bay to come out. The back end of the duct was extended into the engine room to allow hot air to come out more efficiently. Our new bonnet vent will allow you to enjoy sports driving with the assurance of a better cooling system.
Made from dry carbon. Installation with stock rain guard recommended to prevent rain water from entering the engine bay. In dry conditions, removing the rain guard will improve cooling performance.
SPOON SPORTS will be offering a CARBON PLUG
COVER for the K20C engine (FK8/FL5).
The iconic yellow head covers and Kevlar
plug covers from SPOON has received support from our fans for many years.
Due to difficulties in securing a
production facility, we had been unable to release a product for the K20C until
now. By implementing production methods we had explored with the FK8 intake
duct, we are now in the process of renewing our production of carbon plug
covers for the B-series, F-series and the K20A engine.
7年ぶりとなる日本国内でのレースは、Honda CIVIC TYPE R（現行型/FL5）を使用しST２クラスへ参戦いたします。2023年11月にアメリカで開催されたThunderhill25時間レースをFL5型CIVIC TYPE Rで戦い抜いた私たちは、その経験を基にスーパー耐久シリーズでもCIVIC TYPE Rのポテンシャルを活かし、チャンピオンシップ獲得を目指します。 ドライバーには、2023年の米国サンダーヒル25時間レースに北米仕様のCIVIC TYPE Rで出場した山田英二と、走るラジオDJとして知られるピストン西沢のベテラン2名をレギュラーとして起用します。また、ホンダのドライバー育成プログラムと連携し、「ホンダ・フォーミュラ・ドリーム・プロジェクト (HFDP)」の育成指定選手である小出峻、三井優介の2名を交互にBドライバーとしてラインアップする予定です。また、シリーズ最長の富士24時間レースは、経験豊富な松井猛敏、中島保典を加えた6名体制となります。
皆様、応援よろしくお願いいたします。

After being away from the domestic racing scene, we will be fully participating the series in the ST2 Class, entering the Honda CIVIC TYPE R (FL5). In November 2023, we ran the 25 Hours of Thunderhill endurance race in the US, accumulating data and experience with the FL5 CIVIC TYPE R. Implementing what we’ve learned, we will try bring out the full potential of the CIVIC TYPE R to win the championship. One of the full entry drives is Eiji “Tarzan” Yamada, who also drove our US spec CIVIC TYPE R racing car at the 25 Hours of Thunderhill 2023. The other full entry driver will be Piston Nishizawa, aka DJ Racer. Along with the two veteran drivers, we are partnering with the Honda Formula Dream Project (HFDP), inviting their two young hopefuls, Syun Koide and Yusuke Mitsui, to alternately drive our car in the series. For the longest race of the series, the Fuji 24 Hours race, we’ll be adding two more experienced drivers, Taketoshi Matsui and Yasunori Nakajima, to make up the 6-driver team.

Driver comments
Driver A: Eiji Yamada
Winning the 25 Hours of Thunderhill Endurance Race in 2021 was my first time to drive for TEAM SPOON. Last year in 2023, I was honored to be called back to the team for the same race, sharing seat time with Keiichi Tsuchiya, aka The Drift King. I’m excited to be a part of the team again for the 2024 Super Taikyu Series, along with Piston Nishizawa, Syun Koide and Yusuke Mitsui. Piston and I are good friends being the same age. It’ll be exciting to drive with the young hopefuls from the Super GT and the Super Formula Series. As an old timer, I’ll have the chance to learn a few new tricks from the young drivers, although not much to from Piston Nishizawa. lol I’m truly grateful to be a part of this year’s TEAM SPOON! (Sorry for not sounding like the usual Ra-man!)

For the last 7years, TEAM SPOON has been absent from the domestic racing scene. Throughout those years, we continued to receive warm messages from all over the world, longing to see TEAM SPOON on the circuit again. At the circuit and on the track is where SPOON started and is still rooted. It is the spirit which our founder Tatsuru Ichishima held when he created the company and the same spirit is still shared by myself and all of the staff at SPOON. We are grateful and excited to announce our come back, our entry to the 2024 Super Taikyu Series. The years of absence is nothing to be taken lightly and the entire team is committed to doing everything we can to achieve results that are expected from our fans and supporters. Through our racing activities in the Super Taikyu Series, we are hoping to share the joy of Honda cars and the CIVIC, as well as helping to expand the growing fan base of the Japanese motorsports scene. We are delighted to receive support from Honda Racing and to welcome the young drivers from their driver development program. The talent and energy of the young drivers will surely have positive effects on TEAM SPOON, helping each other to grow as racing drivers and racing team.
We look forward to the exciting season ahead of us!
