TOKYO — Japanese tuner Spoon Sports plans to convert left-hand-drive U.S.-spec NSXs into fully loaded NSX-Rs for the American market.The Honda specialist is going the whole nine yards with the conversion. Extra goodies on the R include a retuned suspension with harder springs, stiffer shocks and thicker sway bars, a carbon-fiber rear spoiler, slotted brake rotors, a remapped ECU and a shorter final-gear ratio. That means total output should come in at around 300 horsepower, which is a little bump from the stock 290 hp found on the 2005 model.Weight will be significantly cut, thanks to forged 17-inch wheels, carbon-fiber Recaro seats, a smaller battery, manual mirrors, thinner rear glass and the removal of all sound deadening. This diet should put the curb weight at around 2,800 pounds, which is currently what the JDM-spec NSX-R weighs in at.Edmun Laurea, the president of Opak Racing, one of Spoon's importers, says that this superior NSX is currently available for order, although the U.S. registration process is still being smoothed out. Pricing starts in the $60,000-$69,000 range plus shipping costs, and Spoon will install anything from a twin-turbo to a wide-body kit if American enthusiasts are still hungry for more.What this means to you: Now if only we could get our hands on the Civic Type R. — Mike Lysaght, Correspondent
