Spoon is pretty garbage comparing to J's and Mugen.

I gave the above statement based on two catagories: funtion & quality.

Since I had and have a "few" SPoon part on my car, I can't agree that Spoon is any lower in quality than Mugen.

What makes you say things like that?Does a Spoon header make less power than Mugen?Or is it a low quality product without show-quality?

I thought the Amuse wheels were 17x9 +40 not 17x9 +63? +63 can't clear Endless brakes can they?

I dunno' if you guys know but Tanabe-san, owner of Amuse, personally tunes the engines and suspensions of the cars he builds.

Amuse wheels, at least the CE28N, has always been a 17x9" +40 offset all around. Even before they had the BBK on their car, they did this for a wider track. They run either 255/40/17 BS RE-01R (Touge/Street) or Advan A-048 tires (track).

They used to run a 16x8" TE37 with staggered offset, I forgot what exactly they were though. Something like +45 front and +42 rear?

Toe, from what I can tell, has been set pretty mild to 0 in the front, massive toe in for the rear. Camber is set rougly -3.5* front and -4* in the rear.

Their most current set up is:

Mugen intake
Amuse ECU
GReddy/Trust Iridium spark plugs
Mugen thermostat and fan switch
ARC radiator/radiator cap
ARC GT-R oil cooler
Amuse R1 Header
Amuse R1000 70mm exhaust

^ good info right there.. but i could have swore that i saw it was running a 4.3 FD.

suterusu

I believe they used to run the 4.3, or maybe it was MCR. I know MCR was running a 4.3 in the BMI Battles At 10,000RPM video.

The 4.5 final gear is as of the latest BMI and Amuse's website.

And what about the non staggered wheels set up?May be ill go with it.

ITRbroham

You fellas realize the the latest Amuse "Touge Monster" is an '04 spec S2K?

Are you shure? I know in the last part I saw they put a 04 up rear subframe on to battel the higher out put cars.It was the same car thet has always been run.
