Badass Japan CA18 track car

[typhoonslippery]

I am only posting this as there is quite alot of information as well as pictures and videos regarding this car. Usually I will stumble across a demo car on a tuning garage website with 2 or 3 pictures and a writeup of the car setup and that is it.

This car laps Tsukuba in 1:02-1:03 seconds which is very respectable for a privateer car as well as makes well over 400PS reliably with dyno sheets :P

I just thought I would share! Head over to google for language translators if you need them.

The video's are great, I can relate to RHD and was really getting into his lapping event!

I love how amerteurs in Japan wear the full race suits =D *look over at TMS....

I race with a fullface helmet, driving gloves and spiked titanium codpiece. One has to protect their assets.

Well it is at Tsukuba track which is no joke and for the times he is getting there his whole car setup is pretty serious.

Lots of racing events require you to have fire supression and suits just in case.

Aw yeah, do I spy an upside down KA24 throttle body?

that is one sick CA

Do you know what would be even more awesome? If you had posted this in the dedicated video thread we have in the stickies! [/sarcasam] LOL, at least link this thread in that thread for me, will ya?

[themadscientist]

Couldn't catch the S15, just sayin....

[float_6969]

Not to be a jerk, but I'm not impressed with the power curve the car is producing. IDK if it's tuning, or the cam/turbo combination, but with a turbo that spools so late, peak HP occurs WAY to early in the power band to be of use. I would expect it to be occurring more along the lines of around 7K rpm, and continuing to rev the motor out to 7.5k or 8K. It would make for a broader power band and a faster car.

He's got a problem with his suspension setup as well. It appears to me, that he's got more power than the S15, but the S15 can start applying the power during corner exit, while the S13 has to wait until he's exited the turn, or the rear end breaks loose. I think if they were to put an S14 sub-frame under the S13 chassis and do something different with their engine setup/tune, they could break the 1 min mark pretty easily.

[typhoonslippery]

The S14/S15 rear subframe is almost identical other than a bit stronger in construction as well as having a different diff mounting. You could just add on to a regular subframe to make it stronger

If you compare the times to this years Tsukuba battle then this car really becomes impressive with the 1:01-1:03 it puts down there

I think it might have to do with the way he 20G hits; Like a light switch. Definitely agree he needs to tweak his settings so he can put the power down earlier, maybe more toe-in and softer dampers in the rear.
