The car gets the lap record at Gunsai, beating 911s, an AMG GTR, R35 GTR and mk2 NSX, and people still think they know better and suggest engine swapping. Daft.
Good info on the GR86! RTV seems to be an issue in JP cars as well, but it's cool to see Revolution break down their philosophy on the car overall. I hope for subtitles soon!
Considering the age, Tsuchiya-san’s performance is absolutely incredible!!!! It’s pretty hard for the fans who wish him both a more enjoyable life and keeping the touge attack at the same time😂
The suspension setup looks so dialed in on this car! The way it absorbs all the bumps perfectly and doesn't bounce at all is insane! If this had a bit more power, it would be a MAOU contender for sure!
Just amazed at how far this platform has already come in regards to implementations to mitigating all of the limiting factors of maximum speed/grip ratios. The front suspension/adjustability and stabilizer mounts just the overall potential this platform offers to each build/tuner. It really showcases how much potential there really is here when people are already this passionate/determined to offer something worthwhile this quick into a cars platform/induction.
8:27 Revolution discusses using the OEM stock dampers, which has great bump & rebound. They use aftermarket HAL springs with softer spring rates to counter the light-weight of the car. 11:29 Revolution shows the custom OEM stock dampers on custom upper mounts that let the car sit lower without sacrificing suspension travel height.
you can tell how much he appreciates the weight reductions and suspension tunes as he goes from the down to uphill to transitioning straights. The car just holds up to that section really well based on the tune.
Amazing! I drove a friends GR86 on track which had some mild aero and stock dampers and upgraded springs a while ago and was absolutely floored by how good that suspension was for our bumpy local race track. Absorbed the bumps with a lot less fuss than my own BRZ on coilovers which are borderline too stiff for how bumpy this track is. He was going on about wanting full coilover suspension and I cautioned against it, suggested he should just get top hats for more adjustable camber but he'd be much better served upgrading his brakes and tires than suspension.
Interviewer came out swinging lol, "so these engines blow up, right?" 😂 Very interesting information about the strainer and sealant blockage. Shame that is happening to a brand new car.
It looks very precise explanation in the first half of the video about tuning the GR86 but unfortunately I can’t read and listen Japanese! The auto translation is very poor!!! Very impressive to see Tsuchiya-San, Nob and Orido flying in Gunsai!!! Wish you all long lives and prosperity🙏🏻
Man this car is not only fast but looks amazing with the different parts changes. Any thoughts on modifying a 1st gen to compete with the 2nd? Want to do something I will say I got my 14 frs mad cheap at the time.
0:26 I hear you broke your engine? The protruding packing clogs the strainer. The seal cannot be removed because the mesh of the strainer is recessed. When the oil shakes like circuit driving, the seal is easy to peel off. The seal sticks to the net, so you have to suck it off.
3:10 Regarding engine temperature control The oil cooler was attached as normal, but the performance was not enough. It is desirable to replace it if you run on a circuit like a 2l engine.
4:22 About ecu tuning Not yet. In fact, this car also has a normal engine, a normal ECU, and a normal harness. The ecu is completely different. It takes time to develop.
