yeh the wrinkled shirt is one of the high light i say..

hahahah !!

[VTECMACHINE]

LOL read my signiture... I asked Mr Spork THE QUESTION we have all wanted to ask. And and what a reply from the Man himself...

[R123]

hahahhaha

oh man... got owned big time.. but please explain his meaning of a secretarys car meant? wot? a ladys car?

fine,,, switch to mugen now~ hahahaha

cheers

[noodleman]

lol so true

[Jingers]

I think what he said in detail was that the dc5r is much harder car to setup, but after 2 years of tuning they have finally got it right. The dc5r is faster then the dc2r. But the dc5r is not as good as the dc2r on the street *shock gasp horror*. Its better as a race car

"some wording might be different but the general idea is the same. this was not said during a general 5 second question but rather a at length discussion "

in any case mr spoon as respectable as he is is not a god. I respect him *espicially after meeting him and talking to him in person* but would not view and follow his every preference nor do i think others should

however he was talking about jdm dc5. and your answers in regards to audm dc5r been a girls car would most likely still apply 100%

[R123]

geeee thats ~much~ better interpretation there Jing!

hahahhaha

In short... DC2R > DC5R. hehehe. Like we all predicted. I don't care what Jing says... I think Mr Spork is a god! hehe.

[Jingers]

LOL and you just demostrated the blindness of most dc2r owners!

Lets keep an open mind and accept that dc2r will not be the best forever

[supernatural]

dc2r is not the best honda track car now... FD2 is... LOL!!

[narada]

hahah yeh i think fd2 is the new king hahaha

I WANT ONE BAD... so many good things said already hehehe

[szymonsta]

i would have been interested to hear mr. ichishima's explanation of his choice of tuning/developing car, eg why he ditched the dc5r for so long, why the 1700kg Legend (even though it has the innovative 4wd system), the fit, why he didnt ever tune honda nsx or prelude..
also i would like to hear is there a link between spoon and phase? since phase seem to use a lot of spoon products etc..

so, any answers to those questions u guys came up with?

[Jingers]

yeah he ditched the dc5 becuase he couldnt tune it properly. He is currently racing dc5s now..........

[mugsee]

Nice photos and coverage! Well done to all.

How'd you find his Engrish (for a Japanese) Jing? Very good right?

[hebe]

Eddy was just speaking Jap to him!! lol
