Take a gander at this site

Their prices are a bit higher than others I've seen, but you'll get the drift. This is an extremely impractical solution to saving weight. You are looking at ~$1000 to save maybe 5 lbs of sprung mass. Not very good!

They are stronger than even grade 8 bolts, however, so for a racing situation Ti fasteners are justifiable.

-AJR TypeONE Gnd kit

Suspension
-Spoon spec Showa aluminum coil-overs
-Swift springs F.22k R.20k
-Spoon swaybars , suspension bushings , engine/tranny mounts
-Spoon 7pt rollcage + AJR re-work for North American FIA
-Spoon strut bar
-Spoon rotors and Endless N1 pads
-Spoon calipers
-Work Emotion wheels F.1670 +35mm R.1680 +45mm

Race preparation is done by AJ-Racing.

Since the complete Spoon team were sponsered by Work so Regamaster wheels weren't use for the race. Spoon (Regamaster) wheels will still be the trade mark for Spoon's SW388.

I have driven this car myself, it is very well balanced. Power doesn't lead to win a race but total balance is very important.
Does the Spoon engine have any internal mods?

WSB, thanks.
I knew there were different classes running in the race but didn't realize that meant different modifications allowed.

What about the final drive or reduction gears? If they have been changed, that could lead to much more engine torque multiplication...

There is no engine internal modification as I said in Japanese N1 C-4 class. Not even a SPOON header can be used. The AP1 use a stock s2000 header to race in Japan.

I don't think bigger final gear or cross mission gear is allowed too.

The engine off the Spoon car doesn't have any internal mods.

Spoon does change their Final gear but it depends on track. 4.1 (stock) was used during the Indy race.

How much does the spoon carbon-fibre bucket seat weigh & do they sell rails to support the seat in the S2000. Also can the guys that say they have ridden in the spoon car comment on how comfortable this seat is, thanks.
*some pics of the seat in the car would be nice also*
