This is final battle.
This time the FF winning class of 3 cars will be joined
by Impreza and Silvia, popular among young people.
What is your car please?
Subaru Impreza
It's the 3rd evolution, right. 3rd evolution? Wrong, wrong.
Akira, what is your car today, Akira?
My car is the popular Silvia.
It's FR, number one car.
It's your daily drive, right? That's right.
Because It's FR.
What about Hattori?
I'm driving the car from previous battle, Tsuchiya's Civic.
It's the Spoon Civic. I'm borrowing it this time.
I was driving the Integra R and it wasn't that fast.
This time I will challenge everyone with Turbo power at this high speed course.
Every time, every time he speaks like an unmatured boy, when they bring in a turbo car.
So this means I'll have a normal car?
Is this the normal car?
No.., this is not a normal car.
What is this about?!
TsuchiyaSan, you did arrange this, right! Just pretended not to know.
What is this, what is this!
We prepared this car.
It's Nirei's car, isn't.
(slightly tuned Integra R by Spoon)
The ECU, muffler, suspension, that's about it.
(Spoon/Showa test dampers, Spoon Springs 18kg/16kg) (Tires normal RE010) (Brakes IMAGE C2)
(Muffler and exhaust manifold from Spoon)
(Weight savings: A/C, mounts, battery, manifold, muffler, approx. 60kg)
This car seems to be made just for TsuchiyaSan.
I will try my best with this car.
With this Nirei's Integra R, I'll get everyone.
So, let's begin the final battle!
The final battle will last 3 laps.
The course layout:
The high speed corner section from the first corner
is 680m long and continues to the back straight.
The second half features lot of climbing and downhill corner sections.
It's a course where the total balance of tuned car will come to shine.
So how will the tuned Integra R perform?
The grid is based on starting performance.
So this is the super final battle.
Integra R vs. tuned car.
I won't lose to any turbo.
So, the start of final battle!
All three FF cars managed to stay on top positions.
Both 2 liter turbos stayed behind.
Let's check the replay.
Ida driver has failed at start once again.
It looks like a bad clutch.
this is dangerous!
Right, right. I've defended successfully.
Okada's Impreza has advanced on the Ida's position,
without taking the advantage of 4WD at start.
Top group's battle is already very serious.
The clutch of S14 seems to be OK for now.
Right.
This feels right.
The civic is coming.
Right.
How about this!
He's fast!
Oi's Civic punches forward unexpectedly.
The braking face off!
A success. This is a very skilled braking technique by Tsuchiya Keiichi.
The slightly tuned Integra R is responding very well to Tsuchiya's driving style.
Oi is falling back again on the 3rd position. Hacchyan is getting serious.
I've finally caught up.
I'm falling behind in corners.
All cars are now together.
It seems that this car has a little bit more potential in corners.
That's fast!
The top two cars are clearing the corners as if they weren't FF cars.
I'm closing in.
The second lap lead is still in Tsuchiya's hands.
But Hattori's Spoon is close behind.
The civic is fast here.
He's coming!
The dragster civic has joined the top battle.
There is no more room for mistakes now.
The S14 is taking the inner lane, the acceleration face off!
Impreza is fast at straight!
I'm falling behind a bit.
The braking is not that good.
DoriDori plunged too deep into the corner.
Hacchyan is not gonna ignore this chance.
He's closing the gap.
My tires are too narrow, I'm losing.
He's struggling.
So the Spoon is in the lead? No they are side by side.
But Tsuchiya's is not taking the full track width, it's the acceleration battle now!
This is not good.
Hattori's Spoon is in the lead now.
Lost a gear.
Okada's Impreza is malfunctioning. Falling to 5th place.
Understeer, understeer.
I'm understeering, damn!
I'm gonna lose to Civic.
This course suits the Civic Turbo much better
with long straights, although it's losing in corners.
Still keeping up with the top two cars.
This turbo is just enough, not bad.
Oi's Civic is fast.
Turbo Civic, driving like that.
Okada's Impreza is still not giving in.
It's oversteering a little bit.
Integra, go!
Let's beat the 280HP civic!
Damn.
My top end seems to be better.
Oi's Civic turbo is coming out from the slip stream.
But Tsuchiya is braking later.
Look at this braking.
Okada's Impreza is catching up and attacking the S14
from behind even with the malfunctioning engine.
Somehow, the balance's got better.
There is just a little bit to go now.
Something is wrong.
Don't lose.
Don't lose Integra.
Hattori's Spoon is malfunctioning.
It's a big chance for Tsuchiya's Integra R. The last face off!
Aa, ***.
Hattori's Spoon has won the final battle.
The three FF cars have managed to beat the domestic fastest class cars.
My steering wheel started acting weird at the end.
S14 and Impreza had vanished from my rear view mirror.
Impreza's engine was stalling in the corners.
There was a little bit of understeer in the last corners.
How about the straights?
It was pretty fast at straights, but not enough to attack from slip stream.
The overall balance was good. But the cornering capabilities were better on his car.
Regarding the cars battling on top positions.
Hattori's Spoon Civic and Integra R.
It was a slightly tuned Integra R though.
The straight performance was obviously better on turbo civic, it was very fast.
The racing origins of Integra R were very notable.
The Spoon Civic's total balance is very high.
The Integra was still able to keep up in the battle.
The difference is in the acceleration traction, getting out of the corners.
Because of narrow tires.
The ultimate racing can be experienced even with this kind of cars.
This kind of racing is very good, right.
Much better than some low class FR cars, true.
They can be really enjoyed, no mather how much laps you do.
Furthermore there is the NA tuned engine goodness to be enjoyed.
That's what we think, turbo is also good.
