Would anyone have any pics of the real Spoon EG. I have one that is really small, but if anyone has some nice and large pics that would be great. And please no eks since last time that is all that people posted.

Thanx

 

i'd like some as well.

 

maybe this can help.... http://www.macfarm.org/KAZU/car/spooncv/

 

Strange seeing 17's on a Japanese EG. Sweet cars, though...

 

the rims are made by enkie on that spoon eg

 

its still a nice car. i love the spoon swan logo

 

yup... swan sticker is dope... i bought one on ebay a while ago... no one sells them!! but that spoon eg has been raped. enkeis and projectors? what were they thinking?!

 

is it me or are the enkei's over here kinda "ricey"? i used to have a set of the mesh ones, the Zokus, but i could never help but seeing all of these other cars with them that were "tacky"

-i do like the ones in those pics tho

 

Nah, I agree w/ you slowass. It's kind of a dated look now, though I don't know how old that car is. It just seems like a heavy-looking wheel for an EG. Come to think of it, I was never too keen on anything bigger than a 16" on an EG (or any civic for that matter )

 

hrmm..
those enkies maybe awful looking, but there's probably some tech **** behind using them -- such as a high ratio/4.7 or higher final drive. Obviously, not everything in Japan (or even here) is biased towards 'looks only', everyone...

(but i do agree they could have used some better 16"+ wheels!

Thanx for the pics, anyone else has any pics?

 

its not a Swan or a duck or anything like that. Its a picture of the "spoon curve" on suzuka circuit in japan. Look at this pic

FYI guys..it's not a "spoon swan" It's called a "Spoon Curve". The name comes from a track in Japan called Suzuka, and one of the turns is called Spoon. So it's the shape of the turn and not a swan. Hope this helps.

Beeboyee- is that yours? Nice. I never thought the white wheels on yellow car would look good, but that looks great. I've always thought the "old skool" Enkei's were cool too. More pics?

 

Just to elaborte a little further, the logo is as if you were standing in the middle of the track, in the spoon curve itself, looking back to the hairpin. The goes out to the right, then turns left, and then right (the right is the spoon itself). Keep in mind this is from this perspective, when driving, the track you are headed the other way; the spoon is a double apex left hander that proceeds a very long uphill straight. Basically if you make a mistake there, you will get passed.

 

It is actually both. There was a tread a while back about this same issue, is it the curve or the crane. Someone posted the Japanese Crane and it was a white crane with a black head and a red spot on the head. I think the guys at Spoon were meaning both as symbolism.

These pics suck but prove my point....







The orginal pic I saw had the crane facing just like the Spoon logo.

 

naw that not mine,
i think its the phase/spoon EG
i just posted for the lazy H/T.com people
