As for the Arai Satoshi Hiro player who large participates, acquires series 2 rank, e.g., 2003, 3 it wins successively with PCWRC which is rivaled by the rally car which is closer to the mass production car,
So you talk the running of STi 2003 V-Limited which is tuned personally. Concretely, STI make attenuation power 4 step variable inverted type strut and [_E of 15mm due to the adoption of the strengthening spring it is, but the road and the Japanese road of the world are known in the setting and know-how of the Arai player who is exhausted has been plugged. For example, while absorbing the shock securely even in the road surface which repeats the top and bottom motion where the wheel is fast finely, with the kind of corner which the roll it does deeply generating high attenuation power. Collectively, by the fact that attitude change is held down with the strengthening spring, the cornering which is stabilized with neutral is made possible. In addition, even in the wet road surface as for the running where you can obtain the ground impression of the tire sufficiently, the rally driver probably is most by the fact that it seriously considers, can realize strange of tuning only of the Arai player.

very cool. No, its not the petter solberg, its a JDM only limited edition range.

Interestingly, they have used the "V-Limited" as the name, all previous editions have been "Limited" yet most people call them V-Limited.

Who are you ?

For someone with so few posts, you seem to be coming up with the goods. Are you a Subaru god ?, or an importer keen to push people ????? I would of thought that someone as connected as in the Solberg thread, that we would know more about you.

LOL, its called the 2003 because Solberg won the 2003 WRC drivers championship, it's just been released. I bet this confuses the Americans, they have been driving a 2004 spec car all year. God knows why they call their cars an MY04 when the rest of the world calls the same car a MY03.
