TOO SLOW!

tokyo revengers street racing AU hcs + what cars they drive

⤷ feat. Draken, Baji, Souya, Nahoya, Koko, Ran and Sanzu

a/n: this is extremely specific and self indulgent bc i have 0 car enthusiast friends so i'm forcing y'all to listen to my ramblings thanks

KEN RYUUGUJI → Nissan Skyline GTR R32

☆ I can picture Draken with any modded up Sedan with a wide body kit tbh, in fact, his car is the most modified of them all, both in performance and cosmetics, since he does own an automotive shop.

☆So he spends his free time tinkering on his envied dark pink Skyline, and he’s arguably one of the most skilled drivers out there, even if not the most competitive one.

KEISUKE BAJI → Mazda RX-7

☆ Baji is a menace, and his car reflects that perfectly. His black and red Mazda makes the other racers quake in fear just by looking at it and knowing the amount of raw skill its driver has, but, while Baji does enjoy a good ol’ fashioned sprint race, it would be a shame to have such a classic car and not master the art of drifting, so that’s exactly what he did.

☆You can find him in the most dangerous corners, the loud exhaust and the sound of the screeching tires being heard from miles away. A bit of a hoonigan.

SOUYA KAWATA → Subaru Legacy GT Spec B

☆Angry doesn’t really care that much for competition, he’s more of a casual racer/cruiser, that’s why he has a more casual - and less modded - car.

☆His blue Subaru might not look that intimidating or fast, but he makes up for it with skill, deceiving any rival who decides to underestimate him. His car is the textbook definition of a sleeper.

NAHOYA KAWATA → Toyota Supra A80

☆Like his younger brother, Smiley is never at an event that much for the race itself - that’s just an afterthought -, no, he’s much more focused on showing off his tuned Supra whose looks can make any head turn.

☆Sure, he loves winning, but he’d be lying if he said he didn’t enjoy the attention of the crowd fawning over his red, neon-and-audio-system-in-the-trunk clad car, especially once he revs up to show off his extremely loud exhaust and backfire.

HAJIME KOKONOI → Stock Rimac Nevera

☆Listen, Koko doesn’t actually give a shit about cars, he just likes to win, hence why he’d rather fork out an ungodly amount of money to import a supercar instead of modding a normal one.

☆That’s also why he prefers drag racing, since he knows he has no skill, winning them shouldn’t be a problem against more skilled drivers as long as he has the most horsepower - and money - in the room.

RAN HAITANI → Lotus Exige Cup 430

☆Ran values luxury and elegance more than anything, so it makes sense he would have one of the most well known Lotus models. Sure, it might not be your usual street racing car, but, at the starting line, it’s always the sleekest, and its sheer power makes everyone look his way and whisper about it once he arrives in any race.

☆ Granted, much like Smiley, he would rather stay on the sidelines feeding off the attention he gets off onlookers gushing about his expensive vehicle.

HARUCHIYO SANZU → Mitsubishi Lancer Evo I

☆When it comes to driving aggressively, Sanzu is worse than Baji. He doesn’t mind playing dirty to win, and will ram into any car that dares stand too close for comfort at the track, even if it’s at the expense of his own car.

☆He just really loves the adrenaline rush of crashing his opponents and seeing the fear in their eyes first hand once they spot his baby pink Lancer at the starting line.

Toyota Caldina GT-T snd Subaru Legacy GT-B Comparison

Equipped with 260ps!

Caldina all-new wagon drastic drastic change

Yatabe!

TEST & REPORT Motonobu Takehira

Caldina GT-T.. 2,888,000 yen (MT) 2,798,000 yen (AT) Legacy T.W.GT-B-2,898,000 yen (MT) 2,983,000 yen (AT)

The highlight of New Caldina, which has undergone a TEST model change, is the GT-T with the 2-liter turbo and 3S-GTE loaded on that Celica GT-FOUR. The NA 3S-GE GT model, which has significantly improved power and feel with the VVT-i conversion, is also attractive, but it cannot compete with the GT-T's Invac, which generates 260ps/33.0 kgm.

Strong Caldina Mature Legacy Differences in driving found in Yatabe

Of course, this GT-T was used for the full test this time. And, of course, its rival is the Legacy GT-B. However, this time Caldina is MT and Legacy is AT, so it's a pity that I couldn't make the battle even.

In terms of power performance, the Caldina was wonderful. Marked 13 seconds on the Zeroyon, so it's not a Humba. Originally the Celica GT FOUR Wagon

It's also time for However, the MT selection cries, and the sense of moderation is not enough, so the shift is quick.

The engine generates a lot of torque from low speeds, and there is no dissatisfaction with the ease of handling. However, in order to enjoy the dynamic power, it is still a prerequisite to keep the engine running at a high speed.

In the Zeroyon test, I fully enjoyed the dynamic and overwhelming acceleration. It's not light and racy, but it feels a little aggressive, but it's powerful anyway.

On the other hand, the Legacy was left behind by Caldina because of its AT. However, although the 260ps, 32.5kgm engine is not much different from the Caldina, it is overlooked that the high rotation characteristics make it a poor match with the AT.

I can't

That's probably why the D-range keep time was 16.748 seconds, and manual operation was 15.796 seconds, about 1 second faster.

Caldina GT-T(MT)

0-400m acceleration = 13 seconds 98

The feeling of acceleration was also something that could not be enjoyed unless it reached a high rotation speed.

However, when Legacy becomes MT, the story is different. Higher power than AT specification. 280ps/38.5 kgm is powerful though it becomes a transfer characteristic. If you make full use of the MT, you should be able to show power performance equal to or greater than that of Caldina.

The highlight is about 2000 rpm from around 5500 rpm. The unique exhaust sound and the bursting acceleration are really exciting.

In terms of dynamic performance, the high level of the Legacy stands out as expected. Both cornering performance and braking performance are superior to Caldina. There is also a sharp and direct feeling of handling.

The Caldina also has suspension tuning according to the engine power, but it is not as full-fledged as the Legacy. If you want a comfortable ride, go with the Legacy.

A wagon that is loaded with people and luggage

Full Ride Zeroyon??

Power performance is also important when fully loaded. Therefore, this time, we tested Zeroyon acceleration with one passenger and four passengers. As a result, Caldina is 13.980 seconds for one person and 14.970 seconds for full ride. The Legacy was 16.748 and 18.402 respectively.

Caldina dropped about 1 second and Legacy dropped 1.654 seconds. The bottom line is that they both ran out of time.

This time there were 4 people on board, but if there are 5 people on board, the time down will be even greater. You can clearly feel the difference in the feeling of acceleration between a single passenger and a full passenger, but the degree of difference still depends on the individual. Proportional to falling. The feeling of acceleration is not that the power is down overall, but rather that it feels like someone behind you is pulling you. same time down. But what I want to pay attention to is that the Legacy's time drop is more than 1.5 times that of Caldina. This is largely due to the Legacy's engine characteristics, in which the torque at low and medium speeds is narrower than that of the Caldina. In the case of the Legacy, until it reaches high revs, you will feel a strong pull from behind.

When users who usually ride alone go skiing together, the Legacy will be frustrating.

TEST

Fuel consumption is important even for a fast wagon Has the Legacy's pain been resolved?

There was a time when it was said that the Legacy had poor fuel efficiency, but what about the current model? In this fuel consumption test, we measured fuel efficiency by running two vehicles under the same conditions as much as possible. Driving about 120km, general road about 50 test driving about 10km.

It is not possible to judge the superiority or inferiority of the two cars based only on the results here, as the running performance differs depending on the type of vehicle, but it seems certain that the claim that the horizontally opposed car has poor fuel efficiency is not true.

The notable results were 8.187km/ℓ for the Legacy GT-B (AT) and 7.65.9km/ℓ for the Caldina GT-T (MT). The result was that it surpassed 0.52

It is not a test conducted by the same person with exactly the same accelerator opening, but in gymkhana etc.

TEST

So, which one is more attractive!?!?!! Legacy Caldina!!!!

Is Caldina stronger than Legacy? Which one is more attractive? I think this is a topic that readers will be very interested in.

Finished with sense. At first glance, it looks cool, and I think the interior is also decided. It will likely be greatly supported by the target audience, the young demographic. However, the Legacy has a unique smartness and good quality, and is supported by a wide range of users from middle-aged to elderly people. It's a good match here.

Then how about running? Looking at the high-performance models, the Caldina GT-T and the Legacy will be the GT & GT-B. Both 2-litre turbos are powerful, but the Caldina is easier to handle. Focusing on power performance, AT is Caldina and MT is almost even.

Until now, the touring wagon has always been the Legacy, and although six years have passed since the basic model, its fresh image and driving performance have not yet faded. Rather, I feel that it has built up an unshakable position as a matured wagon through repeated improvements. However, New Caldina's finish is quite impressive. Comparing the rides makes me wonder if the Legacy's status has reached this point. For the Japanese, a wagon is a car with a high degree of hobby. I think that the design and mood of the exterior and interior are the parts that users are most interested in. If there is no big difference in price or performance, the decisive factor will be the goodness or badness of the parenthesis and taste. Caldina is pretty good at this important part

As for the handling, the Legacy GT-B equipped with Bilstein dampers and 17-inch tires is drawing attention for its outstanding sports ability. Other grades also score high points for their linear handling that emphasizes active safety.

Caldina boasts state-of-the-art technology and equipment, and Legacy boasts a degree of perfection cultivated over many years. hard to rank

Caldina's handling is also at a reasonable level. If anything, it is swinging in the lightness of everyday life. However, when it comes to the GT-T, there is a strong feeling that it is one step ahead of its time.

Focusing on the NA engine, Caldina's 3S-GE/VVT-i is extremely attractive. Enjoy a comfortable ride with both power and ease of handling.

Equipment and mechanics are the focus of attention in the new Caldina. Sport steermatic, VSC, brake. In terms of specs, MT GT-B leads with 280ps. However, Caldina is superior in torque feeling in the low and medium speed range.

Equipment such as rake assist is not available on the Legacy.

As mentioned above, I compared the important points, but Caldina has a good finish overall. With the high degree of perfection unique to Toyota, it is likely to attract users' hearts.

The price is also cheaper than Caldina GT-T and Legacy GT-B at 160,000 yen or more. The appeal of the Legacy is still alive and well, but the final deciding factor for users is likely to be the price.

Primera wagon with 6spd Hyper CVT box.

What is the Hyper CVT of this newcomer Primera Wagon? Motonobu Takehira

Needless to say, the purpose of the test was the Hyper CVT M6 combined with the performance of the VVL-equipped SR20VE. Zeroyon test immediately. The first is the D range hold. As soon as the stall rotation of the torque converter reaches a search rate, the clutch is released. First, the engine goes ahead and revs up steadily, and the speed catches up. This is the characteristic of CVT.

Primera wagon

0-400m acceleration 17. 140 seconds

Engine speeds up while staying at around 6300 rpm

While passing through the 400m line. The time is 17.816 seconds

It's never too late, but I'm not good enough. This is because the SR20VE generates maximum output at 7000 rpm. However, since the engine remains at a low rpm all the time, it is unthinkable that the engine is accelerating at its full potential.

Then try again in manual mode. However, even if you dash in 1st gear, it will automatically shift to 2nd gear around 7000 rpm. If you keep it fully open, it will automatically shift to 3rd gear around 6500 rpm. Manual mode "The shift up is automatic without a manual shift. This is an event that the user is not satisfied with.

As a result, the time was 17.14 seconds, which was considerably faster. However, this is also the 2nd and 3rd gears with maximum output.

We haven't reached the number of revolutions, so we haven't pulled out the full performance. Regardless of the reason, it is boring not to be able to bring out the full potential of the SR20VE, which boasts 190ps/20 kgm. Also, it is impossible to enjoy the uniqueness of NA with a CVT. After all, MT is the best. However, SR20VE has no MT setting. Mmmm... My stress builds up.

MT setting is desired to bring out the high feeling and acceleration feeling peculiar to CVT and the performance of the engine.
