MX5 and Z3 had the most fun that day. Both cars have aged beautifully.

[@_Zekken]

The Integra Suits that course well. But damn, its actually really fast.

[@mohdshukor9642]

epic race perform..long live motoharu kurosawa aka gansan..

[@Krezo200]

mohd shukor true legend

[@AnthonyParrilloRI]

Is he still alive?

[@Krezo200]

Yes

[@justintowers8230]

I believe toyota made no attempt in improving the Celica SS-III because they knew the refinements, would make it faster than their flagship celica, the ST205 GT4. I think Toyota gave up development of GT4 after being caught cheating in WRC. so it was dumb of them not to make it compete directly with the integra.

[@marting.4505]

I wish I had an SS-3, the best we got in (LHD) Europe were the GT and the GT4, some of them with the SuperStrut suspension. No BEAMS, no LSDs. But I'm happy with my GT for what it is.

[@james9076]

@@marting.4505 I’m planning on importing a automatic ss3 soon. Very cheap compared to the manual models

[@vitalhygiene3546]

Could've easily been the fastest FF of its time if Toyota weren't so bothered about concourse

[@justintowers8230]

@@james9076 u can get a 96 ss3. But beams variants werent released till 98. The s54 man trans is good. But getting an eseries with a high oem final drive is where its at.

[@MrAttilas93]

spec r engine is a monster

[@KICKER356]

I own a ss3, amazing car i previously had a st185 gt4, and the ss3 is much better even without the turbo 4wd. So much more refined and nimble. Still have a sweet spot for the old st185 bt ultimitely would love to have the WRC st205 GTFOUR Tho!

[@BennyJ69]

Can I buy your SS3? Hahaha

[@piercetm]

Gan-san will always be my favorite.

[@justintowers8230]

Additionally the SS-III came with GPS Navigation, Audio system and Air Conditioning. Could of used manual A/C (found in the SS-I with 3S-FE engine) Subtract Auto Climate A/C = 120,000 yen and Navigation n Sound System = 400,000 yen and Total Cost Celica SS-III = 1,920,000 Yen. Celica goes overlooked and underrated. Cost of Integra Type R 98 Spec = 2,358,000 yen. So the Celica is 438,000 yen = $3,900 cheaper!! Also the FTO GP Version R has a 4.312 ratio final drive, outputting more torque to the wheels. Toyota should of kept the E56 trans and thrown in the 4.5 final drive from the Rav4/Camry All trac, while keeping peak power at 7600rpm. Then TRD should of sold the 4.9 final drive option off the shelf (that came on 4WD 97-2000 Rav4's)

[@aaronbryan5095]

Hondas are overrated AF The Toyota MR2 G-Limited and Celica SS-III are much better street cars, have more features, better value for money, much more solid and better built, even then they are only slightly slower than an Integra Type R around Tsukuba Circuit. Not to mention those 2 Toyotas are around 100 kg heavier than the Integra Type R yet can still corner just as well or even better than the Integra Type R.

[@justintowers8230]

i am aware that the celica didnt come with HID like the Type R did. so add another $200 to that price point.

[@goenglishcy]

The DC2 pulled 1.09 lap times with those crappy tyres! Today's tech plus semi slick tyres it would do 2-3secs quicker!!

[@adamsonntag5755]

Well I have a whole new respect for the MR2

[@DabDabGoose]

Dc2 gearing on the type R is perfection, all the gears keep the car in the high cam vtec when changed at redline so the car is perfect for circuit racing.

[@Krezo200]

Hattori is so funny So much Entertainment!

[@reneeharewood5053]

The redtop 3s is no joke

[@timothydylanf.trinidad5822]

Inte R is freaking crazy! Did not expect it to win especially with the gap that the MR-2 made from the start. And the Inte R positioned at like 5th pole?

[@SR9CK]

18化したEK9もってるけど、これみたらSW20（Ⅴ型NA)欲しくなった

[@hsieh811]

Interestingly the Celica is 10kg lighter than the MR2

[@justintowers8230]

Integra has a 200lb advantage with No A/C The SS-III has all the same tire n wheel combination, suspension components (sway bars, struts and springs) and brakes as the 1994 SS-II. All Toyota did, was add Helical LSD, installed Recaro seats and new engine for 98-99 SS-III model Its the same thing as if Honda were to put a Type R engine in a 1994 Integra SI-R/GSR chassis without making it lighter and tuning the suspension and brakes. Additionally the SS-III came with GPS Navigation, Audio system and Air Conditioning. Subtract Auto Climate A/C = 120,000 yen and Navigation n Sound System = 400,000 yen and Total Cost = 1,920,000 Yen. Cost of Integra Type R 98 Spec = 2,358,000 yen. So the Celica is cheaper by 438,000 yen = $3,900!

[@_Zekken]

I owned an ST202 SS-II. 3SGE (non BEAMS), with the LSD, ABS etc. I adored it. Beautiful car. I sold it for a DC2 Integra Type R. The Tegga is just better performance wise, in every way. The celica was a much better road tripper/GT car (obviously since the Type R was designed for the track) but it'd never beat the teg in a race, even on a more open track than tsukuba. Even the GT4 couldnt beat the teg on tsukuba

[@pigupigu]

Integra has AC what u smoking

[@justintowers8230]

@@pigupigu it has a/c haha, right. the Celica weighs 2645 lbs and an american Integra Type R weighs 2600 lbs. usdm spec R has a/c, stereo and SRS. the 45 lb difference is from smaller trans and all alloy engine.

[@genericexcuse4737]

When I get my hands on a 6th gen Celica, it may as well be a beams ss3 when I am done with it.

[@justintowers8230]

The MR2 G-limited would of been more expensive than the celica by about $600, if it had the Recaro SR3 confetti fitted like the SS-III had. It was a factory option from toyota.

[@pswmetalmonkey]

superior Honda!

[@maman89]

z3 versus the roadster was the best, I was laughing at the time

RARE_Toyota_motor Hooning there is one more video of the SS3 I just can't seem to find it. it's nothing your missing out on. just shows detailed lap times vs integra

[@SaWuDOHC]

is the miata 1.8 or 1.6? It still did good idc what anyone says!

[@w33z0r]

One of the slowest available engines in Z3, why not using one of the inline 6. Poor guy :D

[@Krezo200]

Weezor to compare it to the mazda roadster It also had the 1.8 with 118 hp which was much slower The mazda doesnt have bigger engines than z3‘s 140 hp
