Almost nothing beats a Hakosuka, especially when it is in racetrim.

Silvia Super Silhouette

Here is some history for you guys, because GrandJDM is still offline. I always used to have my dosis of old school vintage cars form GrandJDM but as they seem to have lost the battle with the hackers, please pay them a visit and help them out.the link to their can be found in my blogroll or below this post.

This is the machine driven by K. Hoshino at the Fuji Super Silhouette races (held between 1979 and 1984). Super Silhouette cars looked like production cars outside, but sported Formula car engineering inside. In accordance with international Group 5 regulations, the engine was the same twin-carb LZ20B (570PS) used in the Skyline Super Silhouette

Did you always wonder where the Bosazuka guys got thier inspiration from? After seeing this car there is no doubt. Offcourse the Bosazuka boys took their bodykits a step further, but this is where it al started. Here are a two video’s from this legendary machine, I hope you will enjoy, I sure did.

They managed to get 570ps from a two liter engine. The torque these engine’s produced was maybe even more impressive, 539nm to be precise.

Impreza at Hypermeeting 2008

I was browsing through some more photo’s I found of the Hypermeeting at Tsukuba. Suddenly I found this gem. At first it looks just like every other new Impreza, but when you look close you will see some hardcore modifications.

Did you notice the fuel filler cap just below the spoiler? and what about the WRC style arm protector. Not sure how it is called, but I do know that it is to make sure your arm doesn’t leave the car. The Enkei SC02 are wrapped in slick tyres for that extra grip.

How’s that for an interior, this car has definaly been built as a full race car. Rumors are that this was a shakedown test for the Zurich 24hrs race.

Haven’t seen a exhaust like this in a while, awesome!!!

There are no details on this car yet, but looking at this engine bay with al that carbon a larger intercooler I’m sure it will go.

How cool is that? this is the connection for the air jacks that lifts the car when it is having a pitstop.

MCR participates in new Hot Version DVD

Hot Version is working on a new DVd that will feature the R35 GT-R from MCR. The last few weeks MCR has been working hard to get their suspension dialed in correctly. Funny thing is that they conducted all the tests on the normal road, so no cicruit testing was involved.

the test will be conducted at the famous touge that is featured in all the Hot Version DVD’s

Other contenders are the Fujita Engineering RX7, J’s Racing S2000 and a RX7 build by RE Amemiya. This vid is gonna be good, I’m really anxious to see how the ‘heavy’ R35 will cope with the thight and sharp turns on the touge.
