Notes :
Based on the Zero Sports BTZ003 N1 replica that I built a few months ago, this is the entry car for Spec Street FITT STi vs Evo Battle Royal event.
There are several changes needed to comply with the rules, the car has no body rigidity and no oil change. Power and weight also has been altered to fit within the rules. Weight distribution has been left stock to avoid using any ballast, the original replica has 57/43.
Gearing has been changed to 5 speed preset as per rule, the replica has corrected stock 5 speed ratio.
For LSD, the setup has been retained from the replica, while the suspension, damper has been tweaked for the wet Tsukuba, ARB and toe also has been tweaked for wet surface. Camber set at low value, I just like the way it drives with a bit lower grip limit.
When tested at Tsukuba Wet 40% water on CS, it's capable of low 1:04s easily, my best was high 1:03s, a mid 1:03s is possible. My best 1st sector is 14.9s, the high 1:03s lap has 15.2s 1st sector and last sector is slower by a few tenths as well as a bit slow last corner. Some handbrake / E brake use is highly recommended in the wet Tsukuba, particularly 1st corner, and last 2nd hairpin before the main straight - apply only a split second to help the rear rotate when necessary Tsuchiya style
The WRX is a bit hard to drive in the wet, just like in real life, some understeer might creep in when not careful while braking and exit oversteer when getting too excited with the go pedal - had my share sideways with a Rex in the rain IRL.
At Grand Valley East, still on CS tire, it managed 1:12s with ease. With SH, it should be below 1:10s.
For Tsukuba : CS tire, and for GVE : SH tire. No tune changes.
I have provided below both best lap replays for the Tsukuba and GVE, both are on CS tire, Tsukuba 1:03s and GVE 1:12s, might be useful for reference or just for your enjoyment. It might be interesting to load them on data logger to compare with your best lap
