does not matter.
Both are supperior companys/ brands.
depends on what part or component you are traking down.
Spoon Sports is known for their lunge into the endurance races and tuning to these circumstances.
Mugen has taken to the liking of Japan Grand Touring, and Super GT racing.
Both turn out exquisit vehicle components. Just depends on what you are looking for personally.

One is hyped up OEM parts and the other is Honda Plus....
ehhh....
Honestly, both are good companies and both have built and produced credible cars and parts. They have their pros and cons... and nit picking them would be retarded.

Agreed. I think mugen has a little more influence in the appearance department where as spoon is more performance/motor related. I dont think either is more superior than the other, but I do have quite a few more mugen parts than spoon :p

03-20-2007, 12:34 AM
if you want the best power, neither!
they both upgrade oem parts just a little bit. I perfer companies trying to make PERFORMANCE parts. For example, a Toda preped NA motor would rape a spoon motor hands down.
but spoon because they pull off a much more subtle appearance.

03-20-2007, 12:56 AM
i've been using spoon parts for my motors small stuff (thermostats n such like that, body reinforments) but Mugen for their aero parts as they are the only 'performance' honda company to extensively wind tunnel test their parts (hence the full kit).
but as stated before, every company has its purpose

They are both overly priced, refurbished HONDA parts, so in my opinion they are the same. I still buy them both and use them both. But also again like RAVI said depending on your purpose of product, choose wisely.
Just to let you know, from what i heard this is the last year for MUGEN.

See your starting to understand. them being a part of F1 does not directly relate. you have to compare like to like im sure their F1 experience helps them produce a better product but it doesn't make them instantly better.
Relix

doesnt mean anything till there is hard numbers. Hard numbers... Like competing in the apex of motorsports? Like Honda choosing the best out there to represent them on the world stage in Formula One...
Don't get me worng, Spoon is great, they are about balance and form..

you guys just keep proving the point that there not really comparable they are just diffrent Hows so? Just becuse Hendricks racing is in Nascar and BAR is in F1(their differant) BAR is still better.. You can be differant and batter at the same time... For instance Harley Davison motorcycles & Honda Motorcycles, extremely differant and yet honda is better in every way(with the exception of the weekend warriior yuppie biker crews)

I listed facts and you discounted them..
oh and is the petty remark really necessary? grow up im done with this conversation.
You're being a troll.. You're trying to bait us into a debate without backing up your side of the debate..
I said Hendrick Racing are both in auto racing yet BAR Honda(or any other F1 team for that matter) is better.. Apples and Oranges as you put it.. Differant but better..
You've yet to pick a side other then they are to differant to be compared? WTF they both specialize in honda performance.. They're not as differant as you are making them out to be..
How's this:
Mugen>Spoon because Spoon adopts many products that are actually not created by them, whereas Mugen is all original.

Matt at ICB is always telling me I need to stick with a Mugen or Spoon theme, but I do not agree with people who think this way. I do agree 100% with what you've said above. I select and run Mugen for their exterior styling, and Spoon for under the hood performance.

I agree with this as well, I would rather have a selection from a few choice companies than be a proclaimed "mugen whore"/"spoon whore"/"j's whore"/"benen whore", etc.

For sure. People that load up on one or the other typically just load up for the sake of loading up... lol. Careful selection and a mix of both companies will lead to a car with better character and potential function.
