cars of retribution; michizou tachihara's 1991 mazda rx7 fc3c

HELLO RETRIBUTION FANS

IT IS I

THE BETA

I want to yap about the cars so much with the whys and the hows each character gets to them so I decided to start posting about the interesting ones one by one where I go into a lot more detail than the chapter overview ones AND YES I ALREADY DID ONE FOR CHUUYA but it's old and stinky I neeed to redo that one

Tachihara's RX7 FC3C (pictured is a 3S; the Coupe version. Tachihara's even more insane and picked up the cloth-topped convertible one) is basically... a race car. that happens to have a license plate.

The mod used in these pictures is the RE Amemiya Furinkazan mod which came in the Shutoko Revival Project car pack. Expect to see cars from there since a lot of the cars there follow the rough aesthetic I had in mind for retribution.

The car, pictured, has an RE Amemiya bodykit for the FC, and the rims are Enkei NT03's. The only real difference is that the car is a convertible, but I think he'd do an aftermarket conversion to make it a Targa top to make it look a little more savory to the eye (go look up how an FC convertible looks like......).

The engine in the car is a Mazda 20B engine block, which is different from the 20B-REW used in the Eunos Cosmos through intake placement or something like that... It's the 20B in specific because it was sourced from a former Group C Le Mans race car; the Mazda 757 (although there it's named the 13G).

I should mention that the rotary engine is different from your run-of-the-mill piston engine in many ways, also.

Rotaries are a triangle instead of a piston compressing a chamber, which means that the engine is a closer relative to a dirt bike engine rather than a normal car's engine. Power's high up the revs, and there's not a lot of bite when you first get it off the line compared to a similar conventional engine.

Anyhow, as Tachihara worked from just the engine block, a lot of the other parts are custom and unorthodox, to say the least. For one, the car's twincharged in that it uses forced induction from a supercharger and a turbo. Both modes had their advantages and disadvantages, though twincharging at that point is just a flex and pretty impractical despite the theoretical benefits.

Second also is the fact that the car is hell to drive. The fact that the engine is a race engine and the whole experience is built around race car sensibilities makes the car be infeasible to drive on the daily. The car lurches and jerks forward from a stop light, stalls at the drop of a hat, very low and stiff so you feel every pothole, hot and loud as hell... and I don't need many other adjectives for you to get the point.

However, when the car goes... it goes. It has way more power than you know what to do with in a mountain pass. And when you drive it, it wants you to go faster, like it's egging you to go rev higher, go for the power band and feel the car just overtake you from how fast it's going under your nose.

It's totally on-brand for him.

All in all, the car makes around 550~ horsepower to the wheel. Which, when you consider that the car is a death trap and wants to kill you... is a lot.

Now Tachihara got the car from his time working as one of the few full-time employees in Black Lizard Works. In retribution's verse, it's practically one of the most renowned tuner houses; Human Error and Arahabaki got their cars tuned there, as well as Akutagawa's and Gin's cars, naturally. You'd need a pretty penny to get a car built from the ground up there, but through the hefty fees, it's guaranteed that the cars are worldbeaters behind the right hands.

Black Lizard numbers the chassis of certain cars that they work on, and Tachihara's is #017. For reference, Human Error and Arahabaki's are #005 and #006. It also has a Black Lizard Works badge on the back, which is practically a mark of honor from the tuning house when they know it's good enough that people start asking whose car it was.

The car and engine started off as two different things. Tachihara bought a very ran-through example of an FC, one where the engine's starting to give up the ghost and is not worth it to salvage. It is also Tachihara's First Car. And the reason why it's absolute hell to drive is because Tachi keeps tacking on mod, after mod, after mod, with no regard as to how it's gonna effect everything cohesively. It's always a coin toss whether it's gonna crank up to life, or throw up a problem so obscure it requires scouring factory documentation on how to even begin solving it.

It's practically the monster that embodies many of the sensibilities of the generation of racers he's a part of... which is kind of poetic in that sense, but who am I kidding, Tachihara's just immature.......

If you'd like to know more or nerd out about the car please comment down and I'll be sure to fill in the details on what I have about his car!!! Maybe next I'll do Tanizaki or Gin's since those cars are also death traps

A twincharged Lancer Evolution built for Hillclimb racing in Scotland. The car, lovingly nicknamed “Tiddles“ by the owner, has 800 horsepower and that distinctive twincharged sound that I absolutely love. Also, it’s got nice homebuilt aero and cool miscellaneous carbon bits, like the alternator cooling shroud pictured above. (It had to be relocated to put the supercharger in and it kept getting cooked by the turbo.)

Volkswagen Golf MK6 1.4 Twin - Charged Intake System. 🔥 Unleashed the possibility to gain higher horsepower. 🔥 Simple plug & play only. Get the intake system in our official website. What is twincharged?? → It is a combination of an exhaust-driven turbocharger and a mechanically-driven supercharger, each mitigating the weaknesses of the other. #vw #golf #vwgolf #mk6 #twincharged #maxracing #maxracingexhaust (at Johor Bahru) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAPMMoBn3sC/?igshid=1p39jclvj2gu0

Polestar 1 PRODUCTION ⚡️ ______________________________________ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [8/29/19] Finally after loads of waiting for the brand new state of the art Polestar factory to be built. Volvo’s electric performance arm has official started production of their first model, the Polestar 1! Polestar is also officially its own brand now and not a direct division of Volvo like AMG is to Mercedes and M is to BMW. NOW, Polestar is more like Lexus, Infiniti and Genesis as a stand alone brand. Their brand new facility in China will also soon produce the Polestar 2 EV that will battle the Tesla Model 3. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🏁 @Allcarnews Spec sheet: Powering the Polestar 1 is a unique powertrain pairing a 2.0L Turbo and Supercharged Inline 4 powering the front wheels along with two rear electric motors for a total of 591HP and 738 lb-ft of torque….but those are the European numbers..the US gets 626HP thanks to the exclusion of the EU Particulate filter! The rear EV motors are powered by a 34kWh battery and allows for 93miles of EV only driving. 0-60 times are around 3.8sec too.🏁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Polestar 1 is a tech filled beast which easily can be seen from its powertrain, but there is loads more interesting stuff going on with this car. The chassis of the car is very unique made up of both carbon fiber and aluminum with a unique “dragonfly” rear sub section made from carbon for added stiffness and rigidity. It also gets special Ohlins dampers, Pirelli P Zero rubber and massive staggered 22in wheels along with a torque vectoring rear diff. The interior is very Volvo but bathed in carbon fiber, a crystal shift knob, special leather and other unique gold colored touches. Just 150 are being allocated to the US market for the first year and pricing starts around $155k when not on a Subscription. ________________________________________ ACN EXTRA: This thing still just looks stunning. ________________________________________ -Text by @allcarnews -Images by Polestar ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Polestar #Volvo #electric #Swedish An #allcarnews post #Polestar1 #Polestar2 #geely #TwinCharged || #powe https://www.instagram.com/p/B1v7UGHBLf3/?igshid=bjbt6lsnxo15

Everybody makes mistakes. That’s why pencils have erasers, and why plasma cutters have a “Fuck This Job” setting for obliterating the entire workpiece you just spent several hours on. What’s important is that you own up to your mistake, and apologize. For me, I do a lot of that owning and apologizing in what is now known as Habitual Traffic Offender Court.

I’m not trying to brag that I go to a fancier traffic court than you do. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’d rather be down there with you, back when the judges assumed basic innocence and I didn’t have to get wheeled into the courtroom ratchet-strapped to a moving dolly. Also, I dimly remember that regular traffic court had windows and drinking water fountains. Boy, that’d be nice.

Again, the critical point here is that everybody makes mistakes. And luckily for me, “everybody” often includes “prosecuting counsel.” The judges usually hate incompetence and hubris much more than they hate a guy who “allegedly” did a powerslide onto an elementary school basketball court with a twincharged Fiat Panda 4x4 and then lit up first all four tires, then two at a time as the transfer case overheated and began to slip, in a glorious display that drew the attention of the children away from their lessons. Now their parents are working hard to get me busted with trumped-up charges, just because I taught their kids that an alternative way of life existed. Anything “different” from their family’s leased Lexus was bad and must be exterminated, in their minds: I was a political prisoner, I was planning to claim to the judge.

However, the prosecuting attorney’s last-minute discovery that the cop spelled the brand of my fine automobile as “Feet” on the arrest paperwork made it so I didn’t have to. I once again roam the streets of your fine city, emboldened by my experience and ready to make a few new mistakes.

Lancia Delta S4, a legend of Group B rallying and a bucket list car for me for a long time before I finally crossed paths with this one. Part of the secret sauce is its pioneering use of twincharging, pairing a large turbo for boost at high RPM's with a supercharger to keep things moving a little lower in the rev range.
