[DazFlapp]

[markdooms]

[abunaiN1]

[TheTOUGElife]

Legend of a man, legend of a car

[v00]

mad shifing, look at his feet!

[dani19771013]

gooood! best of vtec sond!!!

[djnickyc1]

that shits flying!

[Douglas6250]

Well what can you say about Spoon's cars ? Exceptional is the word. Absolutely brilliant !!

[sunjitsingh3559]

your fucking retarded because there is such thing as open class in racing and if the ek9 was going up against everything then it would be a piece of shit so stfu

[frieddayfriday]

@sunjitsingh3559 lol. look for lap records in tsukuba you can see a lot of tuned(by great tuners of japan) gtrs, evos, stis, and the likes got beaten by your so called piece of shit ek9.. one of the mines gtrs only does 1'06 even the latest nsxr does 1'04 only on this track. gallardo doing 1'06. so yeah...

[frieddayfriday]

@sunjitsingh3559 you just don't know nothing about cars.. noobs like you only knows RWD is COOL!! it can drift and slide!

[auomauom]

@ 1:06 wow!! very nice vtec crossover sound. amazing car.

[Strike86]

The sound of that power bursting back in after he up-shifts is just orgasmic.

[dani19771013]

king!best of vtec music!

[najtec]

4.9 final drive? or just 4.7?

[sunjitsingh3559]

ek9 is a good car but it cannot compare to other cars it is too slow for an evo or sti

[SlipshT]

@sunjitsingh3559 it's a 1.6l na not 2.0l turbo

[TakumiFuji01]

@SlipshT If you mean the car as stock. Yea it.s 1.6L but in this video, the engine has been bored up to 1.8L N/A

[SlipshT]

@TakumiFuji01 yes i was talking about stock ek9...

[cotythug]

@sunjitsingh3559 u r retarded to compare an EK9 to an evo or sti

[djnickyc1]

@sunjitsingh3559 MAybe true but you can never be 100% in circuit racing, not to mention your comparing turbocharged cars to a NA car. Boost a B series civic and you can throw down the same power or more with less weight.

[TakumiFuji01]

I beat Tsuchiya's record with the Spoon EK9 in GT5, with 260 HP and 900 kg.

Got 1:02:044

[joexiong13]

like it if the caption is right..."B16 is the original raw BEAST!"

[mathematalef0]

how much does this b16 weigh it shouldn't be much more than a K20A? if it was mine, I would go for a K-swap. More modern engine with high reliability. Either way amazing car!!!

[mathematalef0]

All these points are valid, but what is the life expectancy of this specific B16 working at 10,000rpm. The K20A goes to 260 PS without much effort and without opening the engine thus it has OEM like reliability. If they were using 16" alloys along with the K20 swap we might be positively surprised.....

[jireland1987]

@mathematalef0 on a different track yes, but all that matters here is weight balance and peak power rather than torque, depending on the compression ratio and piston ring gapping the life expectancy could be anywhere from 10k to 50k miles. They build them for endurance racing so it isnt going to blow out prematurely

[joexiong13]

@mathematalef0 i'm pretty sure spoon knows what they are doing. 17s over 16s? there's gotta be a reason behind that.

[SlipshT]

everytime he shifts 1 to 2 gear seems like is allways in the 1 gear...just PERFECT

[TypeOneEG]

This EK9 was also equipped with ITB's.

[MoltoSlice]

holy b16b...sounds very nice ek9 awesome

[Ruffneck555]

damn thats fast

[krookedKiller13]

That heel toe shit is hard.

[Brendon00000]

Wow 260hp from a 1.8 stroked b16, i plan to get a b16b for my crx with a 2.1l kit i wonder what power i will have?

[bogdan135]

@Brendon00000 200 hp maybe

[Boogiemanz]

@bogdan135 no noob 260 you dumb fuck

[TheTougeStory]

Did anyone notice the N2 Levin at the end? loll.

[cpz4civ]

damn I love the h&t at 0:27

[golferchin76]

i do that in my racing events too. but that's just basics. This guy is the track time record holder of Tsukuba circuit. Everything he does, looks beautiful.

[woodymcruk]

@golferchin76 ,You mean The real Drift King Keichi Tsuchiya ,him and Hattori,Gansan,what skill they have ,one thing keichi mentions in every sentance when talking about drifting is balance ,look at any of the best motoring touges

[raidacaipo]

wow look at him dance..

[poktehmat]

nice VTEC kick at 0:46

[pabauza]

That vtec swithching on reminds m of my old integra gs-r.

[DevanPorPramuk]

holy shit!! that sounds mean!! Spoon fed FTW!

[VerdEstremo]

che bello il ravvicinato!!! honda the power of dream!

[b17ek]

the cars handleing is so neutral! it has no under or overstering issues. i dont car about power(yes i do), if i can get my car to handle like this ill be satisfied

[yetidh9]

To reply to your video info - I dont think you can compare the times between '98 and '07. There are way too many variables - track condition, temperature etc, not to mention the driver is 9 years older. In the 90's Tsuchiya was a competetive racing driver, not a tv presenter! The B series is a great engine, especially on a track (ie above 7K all the time)but put it against a k series on the road and it will be blown away.

Good video thoough - 5 stars!

[vietdude7]

well dori dori can still heel and toe faster then we can blink also im guessing it was hot when he drove the car 9 years later

global warming caused hte air to be hot so it was less dense lawl!

[RaceVideoKid]

Extremely impressive performance all around from that EK9. Well done Spoon!

[BENCHORD]

260BHP from 1.6.

That is one overall amazing car bring that engine into the uk and all those hot hatches with 240bhp turbo 2.5 v6, will shit them selves.

Amazing!!!!

[tfboy]

It's been bored to 1.8litre by spoon. But either way, 260hp from a 1.8litre is just as amazing.

EK9 is amazing car.

[accord333]

nice vid! from what video is this? is there a dc2 spoon integra video like this one? thanks :)

[polinimotori]

EK9 is a good car.
