Haven't really done a touge before but after watching JUSPUTITONMYTAB's videos I found it to be quite interesting, stumbled onto this forum and thought why not register?
I'm fond of front wheel drive cars and this Suzuki might be an odd choice to some, but I grew fond of it while I tested it on Fujimi Kaido.
I'm always trying different kinds of cars to find my favourite, but it's the less popular ones that interest me the most.
Touge Vehicle(s):
Car:
Suzuki SX4 SportbackPower: 226hp @ 6,400 rpm
Torque: 206 (lb/ft) @ 4,100 rpm
Weight: 2,416 lbs
Class: B500
Drive: FWD
Background:
My first touge car.
When I started to practice driving on Fujimi I wanted to start of with a easy to drive car, and while I do love the Honda Civic (Just about all of them) I wanted something to stand out in a crowd; not like a sore thumb, but like a gleaming gem in complete darkness.
The SX4 fit the bill, not only was it small and plucky but had some good performance compared to some.
At the time of writing this, the Suzuki was probably the longest car I've ever worked on; after going online on Fujimi and random tracks I concluded this was the car for me.
May be slow to pull off the starting line but carries a fast and mighty sting.
Car:
Lotus CarltonPower: 377hp @ 5,200 rpm
Torque: 419 (lb/ft) @ 4,200 rpm
Weight: 3,780 lbs
Class: B500
Drive: RWD
Background:
My reason for picking this car is simple: most people on Touge Union aren't quiet fond of the elise and exige for... obvious reasons, so I thought 'Why not pick a car from Lotus, but not a lightweight one?'
The Carlton is an odd choice considering I would be driving it on a twisty mountain, the PI didn't help matters with a amount of 458, so after a few days of tuning and testing with different upgrades I think I found a good combination.
Handles like a brick, but gets up the hill with the power of many horses.
Car:
Suzuki Liana GLXPower: 171hp @ 5,500 rpm
Torque: 175 (lb/ft) @ 4,000 rpm
Weight: 2,195 lbs
Class: C424
Drive: FWD
Background:
Pretty much the same story as the SX4, only smaller and just as plucky (The story and car).
Shares traits with the SX4.
Car:
Honda Civic Si Coupe 2012Power: 328hp @ 7,300 rpm
Torque: 263 (lb/ft) @ 4,700 rpm
Weight: 2,304 lbs
Class: A600
Drive: FWD
Background:
Following my theme of front wheel drives I wanted to try a A class FWD,
A suicidal proposal for some, but I wanted to try it for myself.
The Honda Civic SI is a good choice for two reasons:
1) It's long and sort of wide which meant there was more stability.
2) Despite it's size, it's actually quite light, basically meaning it had the performance of my Suzuki SX4, but the power of my Lotus Carlton (almost).
Does it hold its own on the mountains? Don't know yet, I'm raring to try though.
