Spoon FD2 Mini Review.
Right now we all know about grinding, horrible boring droning cars with a few laps. I saw the FD2 tune and though it was tuned for the Civic seasonal event, i didn't really care to be honest, anyway i bought the car and applied the tune, noticing that it was a "Street/Trackday" car due to it almost having full weight. I went into a practice session at Deep Forest Raceway, i started the race and it was just me and the track. The close 6 speed gearbox ripped through the V-Tec infested ratios, it was like a bleeding rocket i could actually feel the V-Tec working! i smiled as i turned into the first corner, expecting a serving of highly irritating understeer. But no. it stuck to the track and flew out the exit of the track like a jet as it breezed through the next set of off-camber corners, it was quite amusing as i noticed the back-end wanting to play (but this is only if you drive stupidly aggressive like me
) i loved it completely as it came out, i didnt try to counter-steer it either and it just sorted its self out. and then came up to the long-ish straight with the hill in it (you can tell i go on Deep Forest alot
) whoever said V-tec was torqueless needs to drive this Civic because it felt so happy and easy going as the rev-happy engine danced off the rev-limiter, i hit the rev-limiter a lot because i just wanted more, and more , and more, and more! Roj this has to be the most exciting car i have ever driven, it has speed, the power is not polluting the car, and it makes an amazing sound! the best thing about it that not many cars do is this, but when your entering a corner and are on and off the throttle trying to balance the power between understeer and grip, the power is there instantly the NA engine must read my mind because as soon as you tap the throttle you better hold on 'cause she won't wait.Roj this is my new favourite car...end of.
Top Tip:Because this car has V-Tec that
actually works don't let it get to the V-Tec zone half-way round the corner or you'll find a slight bit of understeer. To combat this just use the next gear up and change back down to the V-Tec zone at the exit of the corner
Thanks once again Roj

. I understand you got many more cars to update and tune so take your time no rush.
