Some of you were wondering why a lot of the cars/drivers from the Battle Evome time attack events don't participate in the yearly Tsukuba Super Lap Battle. Seeing the times a lot of these cars managed to post had me asking myself the exact same thing, the best example being Suzuki-san, owner of the Scorch S15 above who has lapped in a best time of 55.5 seconds. Like he has announced on his blog he is now shooting for that extra half a second to break the 54-second barrier! That is Cyber Evo/Tarzan Yamada territory!!
This Ti Racing's prepared orange FD managed a best of 1-minute flat which is very respectful for only having very basic "boost-up" modifications, but had actually gone faster with a record of 59".558.
The engine in this ISF was stock but thanks to lots of suspension upgrades, which include full pillow-ball links, the driver/owner "Mr. Lexus" managed a 1'02"246.
That's one place to drop your helmet off when working on you car! I really like the simplicity…
…and rawness of this S14, check out those carbon doors and that massive rear wing fitted onto two wing stays! That should take care of downforce!
Air-cooled Porsche goodness.
Remember the super clean white S30 from the first post? Here it is out in action heading into the Dunlop corner.
This was an exact replica of the RE-Amemiya Hot Version "Daimao" Tougue Battle winner car. Or maybe it was the same car!
This GC8 only had 280 HP under the hood but they were good for a 1'01"805 lap, that's faster than most modern day supercars can manage at Tsukuba!
Time attack cars and massive lip spoilers really do go hand in hand.
The HRS UNITEC CT9A was looking more like a demo car than an privately owned car!
Compact JDM style from yet another Honda Beat I spotted.
Once the BE-Circuit guys had packed up their bags it was up to the 50 plus cars lined up in the paddock to head out for a bit of fun. I'm sure the owner of the R34 V-spec II Nur specifically requested that number!
A lot of owners like to go for a true time attack look fitting at least a pair of carbon front canards and a massive GT wing…
…whether others like to keep it simple.
Loved the wider fenders on this Z31 Fairlady Z.
And to finish things off this pair of old-school Hondas, the Promodet/Rough World City we saw on the previous post…
…and this mean black EF Civic. That wraps up the Battle Evome coverage, but don't fear as there is more grassroots track action coming soon from Tsukuba.

i got a boner form the yellow MR-S pretty sexy
Please sir, would you be so kind as to remove your self and your white R34 so I may gander at that nice looking hardtop SW20...
Love the all white S30 & the orange FD would love to see that in action, plus the all but forgotten Honda Beat looks ever ready!!
"We heard you like wing stands, so we went ahead and put wing stands ON TOP OF YO' WING STANDS!!!"
Love the blue RX-7, that's always how the perfect RE Amemiya FD3S should be!
Wallpaper of the 4 Door Subaru please. Thanks Dino, Awesome stuff yet again.
dam RE-Amemiya from Hot Version i saw that chapter that car is awesomee!! but my prefered is amuse S2000!! make a post of that thing
great selection of cars, love the Beat!
more more mroe!!!
The Beat looks really cool, any idea what laptimes it was good for?
Would be nice to see a feature about modded Keicars A+B+C someday
(AZ-1+Beat+Cappuccino)
Dino you're killing me with these T.A S-bodies
Great coverage! Got any more?
i demand a fully story on that time attack s14!
In the first paragraph, it's "break" not "brake".
MR2_fan, I'm sorry man, but I do believe you to be stupid if you would rather look at an SW20 than an R34. The SW20 MR2s are great looking cars don't get me wrong, but there is no better looking car than an R34 GT-R.
But anyways, great post and awesome pictures. I would love to see some more pics of clean FDs like the RE-Amemiya and especially the Ti-Racing FD3S.
Amazing.... im so jeolous
@Syn City..you called the man stupid for wanting to see what he likes more than a skyline which are a dime a dozen on this site? lol you're rather cruel
These guys were doing some really fast times with their private cares though. Privateers have to be invited to Super Lap or is it that companies don't want to be showed up by these privately owned cars so that's why they don't compete at the Super Lap?!
Nice job dino you always deliver.could you please make the tipe r a desktop
I want to see that S15 in Best Motoring battle.
Hey Dino, any chance a feature could be set up with the owner of that Scorch S15??
Loving the Time Attack event highlights
Never a dull moment at Tsukuba.
Any chance to get the 4th picture in high resolution for Desktop?
Jesus christ!! 1:02.246 from the IS-F with ONLY SUSPENSION MODS?!?!?!??? That's insane for such a heavy car. That's a faster time than Best Motoring was able to achieve in an R35 GT-R V-spec!
oh my sweet jesus RE-AMEMIYA touge monster has got me hyper ventilating!
to Syn City: dude really? do you need to call the man stupid?!? obviously hes a MR2 fan and me being an SW20 owner, thats the first thing that caught my eye. so yeah, chill out, your opinion isnt everyones opinion. BTW, hardtop SW20s are rare and id also like to take a look at that exhaust hes running
We need more details on some of those bad ass cars running!
WHATTTT? are you people serious? THIS RWD s15 is knocking on the door of the CYBER EVO track record and none of you notice???? im sorry was it not shinny and bright enough to catch your fancy? wtf?
I HAVE ALOT OF INTEREST IN THE S15 THAT MIGHT BEAT THE CYBER EVO!!!!!!!!!!
Any body know how much cost one day drive on Tsukuba Circuit?
thx
@Swerv13, Of course we notice that, it's an RWD that's putting out about the same times as AWD monsters. You don't come across that everyday, but at the same time, we've already heard a lot about it, and are just waiting for the car to get there, Just chill out a bit, dude, jeez, it's not like Jesus came and we ignored him, we're just waiting for the eventual rapture. (Which is coming, that S15's gonna get within at least a half second from the Cyber Evo.)
this is paradise ! look at all these nice cars ! i love trackdays !
Mmmmmmm that version 3 GC8 is all hotness
Mr. Lexus had to break into the back window on his car when the doors automatically locked! It was really cool to see the potential of an IS-F.
