Suzuki Jimny is not only the scum of the cross-country world, but he didn't expect to play track day collectively!

Everyone knows that Jimny is a "mixer" in the cross-country world, but you certainly wouldn't expect this hard-core off-road vehicle to dominate the track and brush the lap speed. Recently, in the Attack Tsukuba 2023 race held at Tsukuba circuit, a large number of Jimny cars appeared on the scene.

All this is attributed to Rainbow Auto, a refitting shop in Chiba Prefecture, which is committed to transforming these pocket Suzuki SUVs into machines that can brush laps on the track.

In addition to participating in the competition, Rainbow Team also brought several demonstration cars of the latest generation of Jimny, because the demand for modification of the new generation of Jimny is increasing recently, so that it has entered the used car market at a high price? .

This new red Jimny is equipped with RAYS A●LAP-J forged wheels and the latest Yokohama Advanniova tires. Moreover, these Jimny settings are similar to front-wheel drive, and the front wheel expands outward much more than the rear wheel, in order to improve the grip and cornering performance of the front wheel.

In addition, suspension and braking are also items that must be upgraded, and this new Jimny has transplanted the four-piston calipers of Subaru GC8 Impreza, and there is an upgraded flange to increase the track. Of course, if the budget is sufficient, Rainbow Auto will also provide you with a relatively compact Brembo brake kit.

On the engine side, Rainbow Automobile provided the initial series of aluminum hard pipe kits, and replaced all the original accessories with silicone air intake pipes, and the air intake box was upgraded to a mushroom head with a larger air intake; There are more powerful coils to improve the ignition power, and in order to improve the cooling, a larger radiator is upgraded.

After seeing the exhibits, let's take a look at these off-site fighting machines. For example, this old Jimny JA 1 1 is an old model in Attack Tsukuba and the most modified model. Just looking at the gold super-wide flange, you already feel full of fighting atmosphere.

The engine room of this JA 1 1 is equipped with a small vertical 3-cylinder engine. The pipeline and wiring harness are obviously upgraded, and even the engine interior is strengthened. The only strange thing is that the turbine of this engine is set at a lower position.

In the carriage, there is nothing but the roll cage for safety, Recaro Pro Racer RMS bucket chair (equipped with Willans multi-point seat belt) and a Momo steering wheel. Moreover, this is a pickup truck-style Jimny, so the carriage and the cargo compartment are only separated by a reinforced membrane, and the roof is also blessed with a tent.

The lightweight body and tough suspension training can also make this hard-core off-road vehicle make a "three-legged cat" effort in corners.

This red Jimny pickup with wide body wheel eyebrows is the fastest model in the group, and the key is equipped with wheels from BNR 32 Skyline GT-R.

In addition to the aura of "God of War", it is also equipped with AD09 tires, and there is a larger turbocharger in the cabin. Finally, I ran a lap speed of 1 min12.056 at Tsukuba circuit.

The only Jimny who doesn't belong to Rainbow Auto Team is this JB23 from Stealth, which is the previous generation Jimny. The upgrade of this car is even more exaggerated. Many parts have been removed from the original car and replaced with yellow acrylic plates.

Suspension and wheelbase upgrades are also inevitable, but the braking part only upgrades more brake discs and brake pads with stronger friction, and does not upgrade calipers.

There is almost nothing in the car, except the dashboard, square plate, racing bucket and thick roll cage of the original car.

The engine compartment of this Jimny racing car can be said to be quite wild, which is mainly due to the turbocharger installed at the top and the intercooler installed on the grille, as well as the electronic throttle from Bosch. And the car finally ran a lap 1 min 12 seconds 357.

Although Jim Bibby doesn't belong to the track, through the painstaking research of these athletes, he turned his dung-stirring stick in the cross-country world into a toy for them to brush circles. Isn't this a spirit of playing with cars and a rare culture of playing with cars?

In addition to the Jimny racing car with lap speed in the stadium, you can also see this low-key Jimny streetcar outside the stadium. What style do you like?
