    Close up TRD土屋N2

    Check out his other clips from AE86 Festival Okayama 2009


    Tsuchiya Engineering N2 prototype (apparently no relation)

    Very trick fabrication of suspension arms, crossmember & engine mount.
    Maybe a repost? But any news if this has been completed yet?

    A fellow N2 buff was kind enough to take screenshots of the specs for the Top 10 from 2004.





















    CBY and Tec-Arts crashed in qualifying hence absent from grid. Also after 2005 they both reverted to using 15" wheels from 16/17".
    And from 2005 Tsuchiya relented to fit GT wing to the TRD machine to increase highspeed corner stability.
    Note many of the cars weights are around the low 800kg mark! The sub 800kg SS Works has a 3/4 Chassis with structural cage/space frame front and rear suspension mounts!

    土屋N2 in Fuji shakedown. Time: 1'45"86

    Turn up the volume and deafen your neighbours!

    This looks like the same day as the previous clip from Fuji, but the actual Best Motoring footage. The close-ups show Keiichi's eyes are alight with enthusiasm, grinning from ear to ear inside the helmet. As you can see it's from the very early days (1998) The body is pristine Super White and no TRD livery (bar the windsheild strip and small TRD under the door mirrors). SSR Formula Mesh 14x8.5 & 14x9 occupy the N2 blistered arches. There was a follow up to this in HotVersion where the settings were changed to better suit Fuji's long straight (1.5km) and the time was shaved down buy a few seconds!

    The E-Impulse N2 Levin lapping Okayama International Circuit in 1'42"6 (the 2008 AE86 Festival top qualifying time was 1'42"9)
    Revenge for finishing 4th in the race!
    Cooler conditions then the steamy heat during the Festival race. Tested and changed gear ratio to mark 1'42"6 time with used tyres! Furthur tuning of suspension, brakes complaint (issues) remain and improvement of this area the next challenge, still without GT wing. (rough translation)



    Link if embed fail:


    The Okayama International track layout for all those that want to follow the action. 3.7km 13 turns.



    Hot Version vol. 94 covers the 2008 AE86 Festival at Okayama, All Japan Tuned AE86 Battle, and gathering to commemorate the late Mr. Tadao Sakurai from TRD.
