TrackScotland Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 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 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 his n hers trackcars. Hers is a bit quicker than mine me in the skyboat... wet, medium boost Fee - Skyline Fee - Skyline with wee gravel excursion AK - Impreza, with little 'off' at end AK - Impreza trying to keep up with skyline!
Maxxed_Ross Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 a very impressive pair you have there I keep threatening to buy my mate's slightly tuned Type R for a track toy.... looks and sounds like fun!
TrackScotland Posted May 3, 2009 Author Posted May 3, 2009 question is how long before its faster than the Skyline
