Impreza's First Track Outing...


Recommended Posts

Posted

Took it out for its first trackday. More a fault finding exercise to see what was needing done first. All went very well once I got the hang of the car and its more twitchy nature (compared to skyline). Had the back end locking up down shifting early on, and wild over steer. Sorted out my driving and a few clicks up on the DCCD :o all a lot more controllable. Hint of understeer if too hot into corner, as expected.

Running standard calipers front/rear with fresh fluid and MS stopper. No problems with them but the car is running very light and sub 300bhp. No fade at all, with nice firm pedal. Looks to be 'endless' pads front and greenstuff rear (green pads at least.... hope they arent LOL )

Tyres - need to be better. Car was slithering about, but that was quite good fun. Its still running the jap spec Toyo trampio's it was imported with.

Susp - very surprised. Lacks the composure of the damping in the skyline, but it'll do for now. Very little noticable body roll, but quite crashy on quick bumps. Its running ancient Tein basic spec coilovers (type HR from memory)

PICS AND VIDS
