Car Description:
Subaru Vivio RX-R kei car.(similar to the US Justy, but smaller)
This car was modified in Japan for rally before coming to the US. It has a Bride LoMax driver seat and a unbranded co-driver seat.
The interior has been mostly removed for racing. It has KYB Super Rally Struts and features Yokohama Advan Neova tires(not sold in the US in this tire size) on factory 13in wheels.
The engine is 658cc in size and is completely stock. It makes 65hp. It is equipped with a factory AMR300 supercharger and produces 12psi of boost. Despite its small size it is also all-wheel drive! The drivetrain is similar to the early 90s Subaru Justy as the size is similar in size. A boost gauge was installed and reads psi for easy reference.
The plan for this car is to install wider wheels and put on the appropriate size fender flares as well as suspension modifications. The car will be getting a full safety cage for hill climb racing but will likely be built to FIA rally specifications for possible rally racing.
It may also get an engine swap for more power and will try to be done to maintain the all-wheel drive design.
This is my racecar version of the Vivio. I also have a red 1997 RX-R which has an upgraded ecu and supercharger making 120hp and 20psi of boost. The full plan and progress is being highlighted on my YouTube and other social media channels within this profile.
