Iv got something special for the Honda tuning fans. I have sourced pictures of the Spoon Sport tuning garage in Japan. In the world of Honda tuning, Spoon Sports has earned a reputation for offering the highest form of service and products. That’s not an easy status to achieve since Honda already produces its engines to a very high standard. You can only imagine what the Spoon garage really looks like inside.
What I think is extremely amazing is the fact that they have cars upstairs as …

Something iv been wanting to share with the guys for a while now, Iv got a friend that is into his Vw beetles and i would say he probably has the most impressive “super beetle” in South Africa.
