Have found the above site and they have a range of stock for the S2000 at what seems very reasonable prices. I'm tempted with the Spoon N1 from them but wanted to know if anyone has any experience of using them at all?

The website isn't the most interactive and with no online ordering it worries me a little.

It seems like a small operation and that he imports each item direct from Japan as they also offer to source any non-listed parts.

Any info greatly appreciated as

I have heard about companies like this before, the price they quote is usually exclusive of shipping costs from Japan and duty.

I agree with Simon. Stay away from sites where a final pricing is not given and no indication of shipping costs.

The safest way to order from Japan would be to order from:

If you want Spoon speak to Ant@Spoonsports, it is possible to get parts a bit cheaper bits from Japan BUT if anything goes wrong or fails (exhaust welds or loose baffles) you have little to no comeback. In Spoon UK

Cheers Guys - I'm already in touch with Ant at Spoon, but the above site do quote the price and say it is inclusive of VAT + Delivery. This would be a substantial saving. I've emailed them a few questions along the delivery/sourcing/duty lines so will see what they come back with.
