Tomei / Cusco / Voltex Impreza - Testing

[abidinyouth]

is it the sparco 383 steering wheel..?

[subeefan]

i want his datalogger and dash setup

[scoobeydoooo]

Nice driving. Beautiful piece of machine as well. I want his clutch and transmission!

[impreza0109]

tomei/cusco/voltex impreza vs roger clark motorsports impreza, anyone?

[DirQ89]

Excuse me Subeefan but can you explain why you think anyone would put the time and effort into swapping out a subaru engine, FROM A SUBARU mind you, that can be easily made to make much more reliable power, to a gay fuckin Honda.

[subeefan]

does anyone know what tires they are using by any chance

[Assassin4457]

your right about him not NEEDING to use the clutch, but he is clearly flat foot shifting it here. Which Tarzan does alot. Just watch vids of him in the cyber evo.

[jel251]

does anybody know how much it weighs?

[rex747]

1060kg

[morf114]

on the upshifts you can see him dabbing clutch maybe he has a flat shift system and needs a switch to trigger this so it maybe on the clutch pedal somewhere.

[morf114]

fuji speedway .

[safzuan]

[SensationBW]

Absolutely Astonishing !!! Subaru Japan Power !!!

[subeefan]

oh and the power of dogbox :)

[phishintube]

wow

[CooLDsteR]

omg i LOVE that sound!! H4 ftw

[tsab503]

Its a beast!!! Btw are they still using the custom built Ej20 or have they converted into the newer engines?

ej25???

[subeefan]

i think they maybe using K20, or B16

[subeefan]

i think you mean FTMFW

[GReddySTI500]

What a crazy car!!!!

Suby power... I like what tomei and cusco have done with this STI...

1060kgs... the stock car is 1500kg...

It give an idea of work!!

[STiTypeUK]

on a dogbox transmission (straight cut gears with dog engagement) you DO NOT have to use the clutch on upshifts, just lift the throttle slightly, SLAM it into gear, and accelerate again.

and to the guy saying that dogboxes have syncros... you dont know what you're talking about, they DO NOT have syncros (hence DOG engagement)

i love straight cut gears.. sounds like youre driving in reverse the whole time.

[FerreiraComp]

That is a dogbox with straight cut theeth. The type of the engagement has nothing to do with the teeth. But on dog engagement transmissions you dont need to use the clutch.

Straight cut teeth = Noise

Helical teeth = Quiet

Syncro engagement = smooth clutch shifts

Dog engagement = fast clutchless shifts

[Racr4Lyfe]

So...a dogbox IS a dog engagement?

[john21percent]

incredible sound!

[fuck12341234]

Thanks for the vid... Tarzan ftw.

[MK4bora28l]

Question if this is a helical gearbox why is he using the clutch on the up-shift

[stageinfinity]

Um... what?

[2slovak0]

its just straight cut gears, thats what you are hearing, it is not a sequential gearbox. Just straight cut gears thats all.

[MK4bora28l]

sorry i meant to say straight cut gears, but still dose not answer the question about using the clutch

[2slovak0]

you still need to use the clutch, its not a sequential gear box. Its the same as a NASCAR trans, straight cut gears, clutch.

[2slovak0]

also he is using the clutch on the down shifts as well, there are still synchros in there and the only reason people change to straight cut is for adding more power the helical cut gears wont handle.

[spartanic]

This is an amazing time attack car. Turbo Mag already has it covered in this months issue. Goes to show you don't need a lot of horsepower and a sequential transmission to compete. However this car has been through the wind tunnel so it should be quite efficient aerodynamically.

[ZeroStageMonster]

You're right about not needing crazy horsepower or a sequential to compete, but it DOES have tens of hours in a wind tunnel, and a completely custom handmade suspension with hours of suspension tuning that i'm sure cost alot more than a sequential. For their competition, they realized that they'll get higher returns investing in susp. rather than more power or a trick tranny.

[ZeroStageMonster]

FYI

Their tranny blew at the Nov 12 Super Lap Battle, but they had luckily gotten in enough laps by then to beat all the competition by a few seconds.

[pinespeakz]

@ZeroStageMonster

Suspension I believe is off the self components. Because this car's main goal is to showcase Cusco's product line. Though it is completely reworked geometry.

[LordGagan]

I can't wait to see this car in Button Willow raceway on Nov 12th!
