Spoon Sports’ rigid collar system was installed prior to a comprehensive corner balancing session and Jesus dragged his hatch to every HPD event in the area. He adds, I went everywhere [including] Summit Point and VIR, and with the car dialed in, I did really well.
Jesus rebuilt his dream, and now his dream has grown into a full-fledged race toy. When asked what could possibly be next, Jesus stated, The car’s going back under the knife so I can do time attack. It’ll be a K-series with boost.

The Collector
For those not in the know, the house of Spoon is a Honda specific tuner with a quarter century worth of trial-and-error under their belts, and Jesus Luna happens to have a habit of collecting any and everything they have to offer. His obsession started with his first build, a ’99 Si. He’d swapped a B16B, an engine that had come straight from Japan, and sported a Spoon Sports valve cover. Jesus said, I live in a small town and not a lot of people have more rare stuff. Having it was cool. Jesus appreciates all the other JDM tuners, but likes Spoon most of all. Spoon Sports is the closest you can get to a Honda factory race team, without being one. His current collection entails many of the parts currently available for his chassis, a set of the classic SW388’s, and a super rare Spoon Sports carbon-fiber hood. He’s always on the lookout for more, so if you run across any extra Spoon pieces, he’ll surely take them off your hands!
