Are you sure? I am familiar with Ebisu. Yes they use Ebisu all the time but does it not have a big climb onto the finish straight and then a big drop to the 1st corner hairpin?
How about the car isnt tuned properly for the track? The fact that he is so busy in controlling the sudden power means the car doesnt have the sufficient grip for the power or for the track layout.
Im suprised too that they barely use a CRX SiR in the FF battle races. I find the Crx SiR and 1.6i-VT(European SiR with 10hp less) are very underrated cars.
+f2b.....f20bEG Probably a EK3. I doubt Spoon would have opted for a more expensive EK4 if they knew they were just going to be swapping out everything anyways. Unless of course they already had an EK4 laying around which is totally plausible.
