Top 10 Fastest Cars on the Touge

[@teertaa]

some facebook friends i met from a japan once raced a silvia in a touge with his sports bike. To everyone surprises, both of them are beaten by a random delivery guy driving a daihatsu kei car. Too bad he forgot the name of the car

[@HuntersMoon]

That's a great story! I have a soft spot for the first gen Daihatu Copen, unfortunately I don't think I could fit in one haha

[@VITOBAKO]

maybe a charade gtti?

[@mrworldwide2722]

Daihatsu Mira / cuore

[@username8878]

I think f1 car quicker

[@cristhanos9392]

Daihatsu Mira kei B O X

I own an MRS with a 2ZZ. This car is a killer in the corners, with the right setup the snap oversteer is easily avoidable.

does the stock Mrs have snap oversteer too?

[@philippemanuel9575]

Would agree with list but also want to add that before J's and Feed, Re-Amemiya ruled as the best touge king beating and defending against the ones listed.

[@gategaming959]

RE Amemiya... what a legend tuner plus Keisuke FD3S in Initial D 4th stage and 5th stage was mod with RE Amemiya...!!!

[@ArtVandelayOfficial]

I'm glad someone mentioned Amemiya Most people forgot about it

Apparently there was some personal problem between Tsuchiya and Amemiya leading to him quitting the touge battles

Amemiya FD is the ultimate

[@ghostppk]

This Hot Version videos are legendary. I would love to see how this cars compete against European Hillclimb cars. Both Touge and Hillclimb have a tradition of cars being purpose developed for years.

[@Yumadlol]

Theres an m4 on the channel

[@elliotjohnson7552]

criminally underrated channel

[@Incendia]

Great video, great cars. But the Seeker FD2 has to be one of the most special cars on the touge simply because they took the hated FF and menaced all but 5 faster cars. The kind of balance you need to build into a FF chassis to be faster than so many MR and FR cars is a next level of work.

[@attacklifeuk]

I'm pretty sure the seeker EG was faster then the FD2 but can't seem to find the times

[@patrykniziaek700]

@@attacklifeuk eg was slower and had problem with understeering ang braking. Fd2 is a King of Civics if they're with stock interior etc.

[@PyleHD]

FD2 looks like shit so yeah I'd take EG or EK or even FN2 over it any day

[@KouKal01]

Js racing S2K was the biggest reason why I own one today. Its my dream car and an amazing piece of art and machinery.

[@StavTech]

You’re my new fave channel. All of your “summoning salt but for cars” videos are top notch, love them and can’t wait for more. Keep it up

[@nomenbeb5747]

great video, the only thing I want to say is that yes Gunsai it's a touge but it's not like the others, most togue have big downhills (or uphills if you strat from below) while Gunsai has some parts in downhill but many others in uphill where the engine it's even more important.

[@theMountainPassMonkey]

In my area most mountain passes are actually pretty leveled with small inclines and declines throughout like gunsai. I only know of one pure downhill and uphill mountain pass in my area.

[@HuntersMoon]

Thanks! And I agree - the info to make this list is taken from a small sample size and a very short sector from a single touge. Maybe one day it would be interesting to look at a different touge of sorts that is equally well documented, like Pikes Peak or something...

[@retrophil8241]

Deadly video. Suggestion would be for a in depth story on NO GOOD RACING Osaka

[@steffenschlepphege7931]

Amazing video , you perfectly managed to bring up the tension and made fever with the drivers , my personal favorite always has been the feed rx7 and it’s just amazing to see the precision driving and the results !

[@oloid51]

As an MR-S owner, I'm really happy seeing one be so dominant on the touge. Yes the car factory is underpowered, but even so it is too damn fun. I would highly suggest buying one, just make sure the precats are either dealt with already, or they haven't started killing the engine when you buy it. It's the only issue they really have, as even stock, I've oversteered once, that was in the rain, and on purpose until my lack of experience caused it to snap back. Still saved it tho. Crazy fun little cars.

[@JP-gd1ln]

Loving your channel & the videos you've been making. I'm thankful you seem to care about giving the culture & individuals involved the credit they deserve. I'm even more thankful you didn't botch the videos as many non Japanese and or non-die hard JDM enthusiasts have done in the past. As your first 2 videos cover 4 of the most important subjects in my adult life: Tsukuba circuit, time attack, touge, & hot version at first i was just thankful that you did these subjects justice with detailed and accurate information & the passion of a true enthusiast. Now watching both videos back to back I'm very impressed & thankful for what you are doing, putting information that took me years to obtain downsized into 2 short videos while still being detailed and capturing the spirit of time attack & touge w/ short clips from numerous videos to tell the stories well. Making consumable sized videos of historically challenging to attain longer video in a manner that will hopefully help form the next generation of JDM tuner enthusiast & keep the culture & industry alive & well for as many years as possible

Love the video, the mr-s isnt my favorite car at all but its performance on the touge is outstandig and the real mvp when it gets to the real initial d spirit. Nearly no mods and a huge performing beast on the down hill, just cause the perfect balance of the car and the high performing driving skills. This is real initial d! AND complete mindblowing that those two rx7s ran the exact same time, absolute crazy. xD!!! Love it man.

There are so many beautiful things when it comes to the touge cars. One, the top fastest cars are not even modern cars, yet outperform them. Two, the best part yet, they are keep getting faster and faster even though they are already so damn fast!

[@SimracerKlausi]

Amazing work🎉

[@Hipsters_N_Hippies]

5:20 well the brake issue that he was talking about could’ve been fixed with either a longer or a wider set of brake hoses for the rear. The added overall volume would have taken a slight portion of the pressure away from the rear. Enough for the fraction of a second that he was talking about.

[@DocDucky]

Dude. Ive never even though of the length/ diameter of brake lines. That makes sense, if theres more fluid theres more adjustability/ delay from braking force and if theres less then its snappier and more rapid.... interesting.

[@Hipsters_N_Hippies]

@@DocDucky yes, that plays a role. however It’s not only the amount of fluid. It’s also the expansion of the material holding it. More rubber = more expansion (the complete opposite idea of steel braided hoses)

[@DocDucky]

@@Hipsters_N_Hippies shit i just learned something important. Ive been trying to figure out what brake setup imma use in my 88 a70 but now im definitely not only going to keep rotor/ caliper size in mind but the hoses and their material too.

[@Hipsters_N_Hippies]

@@DocDucky a larger brake caliper with a larger piston or multiple piston brake calipers also require a larger volume of liquid to move the same amount of distance. So they also had to make brake master cylinders that can move more fluid out. I could keep this conversation going for a while. And even show how to get more Whp and acceleration with certain brake modifications. Lol There is so much to it....well everything with a car. EVERYTHING has an equal and opposite reaction.

[@DocDucky]

@@Hipsters_N_Hippies hell yeah especially since there's some brake setups that arent even oe or close. For example im doin the s500 4 piston brembos, with either a stock master cyl and 350z rotors. So that setups gonna be pretty odd especially since thats only the front.

Another thing I like about Gunsai Touge is that while a lot of Touges are public road, Gunsai is a closed course. So it’s basically a race track but a touge. Still it’s not easy to drive, so you wanna practice before and don’t push too much to the limit if you decide to go and drive

[@NepuRhythme]

Weirdly enough, the weight reduction on that 86 seems just as expensive as a turbo or supercharger. If those are carbon fiber doors, trunk and hood, those can be as much as 4 to 6k if you get them all in one purchase. But then again you can still maintain the reliability of your engine since it's untouched (except for the tune)
