SHAKEDOWN (HONJO CIRCUIT)

During this live test run, each professional attended to the area of the car that they specialized in to make adjustments. This shakedown purpose was to help find any points that needed attention. The Shakedown was done at Honjo Circuit as this track is the closest track to the CUSCO (CARROSSER) HQ.
The TOMEI CUSCO IMPREZA arrives.
The coloring of the body kit really captivates you at first.
The first impression really makes a good atmosphere.
Tarzan Yamada looks really pleased about the car after driving it.
Practice preparation.
Everything is checked thoroughly before and after each run.
 
The TOMEI CUSCO IMPREZA goes out onto the track to run freely and to check the setup and if all components are fine.
 
Test Drive
To testing all functions during light cruising.
 
Repeated adjustments are made when the car pits in. The overall running of the car is good and no major problems only some changes to the water temperature is noticed.
 
Towards the end of the day the car was pushed a little harder to check the power of the car and the water temperature was noticeably getting higher so due to the character of the course we will check the water temperatures again at the next test at (Fuji Speedway) since that is a high speed track.
