Mazda Familia Sport 4.

TRANSLATION OF 4TH PIC

The Familia Sport 4 exhibited as a reference at the 1989 Tokyo Motor Show

Sport 4 is an unforgettable experience not only for Mazda fans but also for many racers and rally fans. This machine is based on the Familia 3-door 1800GT-X, which underwent a full model change in the spring of the same year, and has undergone major modifications. For the exterior, the front and rear fenders are enlarged by 55mm, and the rear is equipped with a spoiler similar to a group B. These parts are made of carbon fiber.

The engine was said to have been tuned up to 22OPS by increasing the turbo diameter, 65mm straight pipe muffler, and larger air-cooled intercooler capacity. Although there were many requests for commercialization, in the end it only fulfilled its role as a pre-development model for the GT-R/GT-Ae that appeared in 1992. After that, it was seen in M2, etc., but it is currently disposed of.

Motor sports introductory car demonstrates its ability

MR2 interrupting the Impreza & Lancer

It was the beginning of fiscal 1999 when the MR2GT, which was modified around the suspension, broke the 10-second mark for the first time as a 2nd class. At present, 2.5 liters and above are the main focus, and it gave light to the two classes, which can't deny the feeling of something half-finished.

That prediction was right, and in the second half of fiscal 1999, a powerful elite model will debut. The first is the Lancer GSR Evolution. WRC to revive Mitsubishi in the rally.

This model was developed for the "". Even at a circuit with a different competition location, it still showed the speed of the rumor ", and marked the 1 second range. Although it is not as good as the MR2GT, it is a machine that you can fully feel its high potential and look forward to the future.

And the Impreza WRX. A more Spartan-polished type RA updated the time of MR2GT and secured the position of the 2nd class champion.

Lancer and Impreza There is no doubt that they will continue to compete on the rally field and on the circuit.

Forgive the Civic monopoly!!, and the Mirage begins the pursuit

It was the 1.6L to 1.8L2 class that vividly showed off the technology that had been refined through motor sports. Honda was strong. With a VTEC (Variable Valve Timing & Lift Mechanism) B16A power unit at its heart, the Civic raced through the narrow circuit.

With its lightweight body of 1040kg, affordable body size, and strong suspension with front and rear double wishbones, the Civic has the potential to compete with even the upper classes. This can be understood from the fact that not only the 1.6-liter class, but also the 1.8's supercharged engine-equipped car is ahead in terms of time.

A car that threatened the Civic's absolute superiority debuted in October. That's the Mirage from the best-performing manufacturer, Mitsubishi. Armed with the 4G92 type called MIVEC (Mitsubishi Multi-Mode Variable Valve Timing & Lift Mechanism), it is aiming for the 1.6-liter throne.

MIVEC has basically the same structure as VTEC, but the output is 175ps, which is 5% higher. The output per liter is the best in the world for naturally aspirated engines.

The suspension has a front strut and a rear multi-link, which contrasts well with the Civic. In terms of time, the difference is only 0.18 seconds, but when the conditions are the same, who will be the winner?
