Ok, so from everything i've found it looks like Opak racing is out of business. Does anyone know if anyone else is an official spoon sports distributor? Thanks!

He carries some spoon stuff, but not very much... I was trying to find someone that carried the thermostat, rad cap, and fan switch.

Couldn't find anyone with the parts I wanted in stock... and the lead time was unknown. Gonna end up just getting the mugen parts.

Just spoke to a good friend of mine who happens to own a shop(in which he invested 20K of parts to vendor) and from the looks of it, SPOONSports of Japan has apparently cut ties with Opak Racing because of selling fake parts that are coming from China and restamping them as Spoon parts....Spoon Certified Ultimate Performance Tags that can be purchased via OPAK RACING are apparently unheard of from Spoon headquarters in Japan....The Final draw was its(OPAK RACING's) last car show in Canada where they hosted a SPOONSPORTS car showcase w/o reporting it to its Japanese counterpart company....I dunno if i should even take out my "TAG" cuz i was just watching the Best Motoring International K20 battle and in the beginning, a Yellow Spoon Valve cover was showcased with a SPOON Certified Ultimate Performance Tag...makes you wonder who's really is telling the truth....SMH!!!!=(

they may not be a US distributor, but i've ordered a ton of parts for both my tsx's and ep from japanparts.com and i've never had any problems with them before. plus, their prices are great and it tells you on their website about how long the lead time is for parts.

opak racing is actuallly a primary distributer of spoon parts. spoons race cars have the stickers on it. ive bought a few things from them. i dealt mostly with Edmun. nice guy but really hard to understand his english,lol.

I looked on their site and they didnt seem to have a big selection, plus they seemed a bit high. I would use inline4 or evasive motorsports. Evasive has a TON of cool shit

I went through JDM Speedworx to get spoon certified a couple years ago. Pretty sure they went through opak since there was no other shop at the time to go through. INLINEfour was said to scam people if any of you guys were on honda-tech.com from back in the day. I don't know how they are now, I still go through JDM Speedworx for spoon only. JDMland.com has some parts i know of. You guys check out NWP4Life.com/Spoon WTB/FS thread (http://forums.nwp4life.com/zerothread?id=5170) a lot of people in there are parting out their spoon parts. Not trying to throw another forum in the mix just trying to help you get the spoon parts you want.

isnt jdmspeedworx site down at the moment?

the only drawback on the Spoon sales thread on NWP is that its mostly EG DC and EK parts for sale

I've never used their site I always go through pm on nwp. The site only had a few things about them as a company.

as others have said inlinefour. they are the new US distributor of spoon parts after the cut ties with opak; specifically new parts for the CR-Z and their patented rigid collars.
