We bought a tiny little kei car - a Suzuki Cappuccino - earlier this year with one goal in mind; making it quicker than the current go-to entry-level sportscar, the Mazda MX-5. Has Mike accomplished his goal? With the help of Abbie Eaton, let's find out!

    • well you named it "Yuki" which is Japanese for "snow" and usually a feminine name so how about a gender swap?

  • Chatting with Abbie afterwards, the tyres didn't end up being that bad, apparently on par with the Yokahamas on the 1.6! So all Yuki really needed was a slight suspension tweak and caramel digestives to take the 1.8. What a car.

    • The batteries in these are already tiny and it would start to get hard to fit in the car if the seats were any different. Larger, stickier tires would make a huge difference, though, and no need for overrated "lightweight" wheels, any steelie would work, just put wider tires of a grippier compound. With the right tires, it would probably drop 5 seconds off of a course like this.

    • ​​​​​​@@MsArchitectschannelSteelies are often lighter than alloys, and thats not a joke. Especially the cheapo alloys ones are often quite a bit heavier than steelies actually, so beware if its weight you are looking to cut, it might just be a step backwards when put on a scale! The alloys generally significantly lighter than steelies/cheapo alloys are specialised performance ones, but they tend to be expensive. Certainly not 300 quid for a set of new ones. I guess some second hand ones that are a bit beat up and have done some races maybe could be found for 300. As, as I said above, steelies arent really heavier than normal alloys, even with "race" forged alloys or magnesium, you wont save 30kg on rims for this kind of car. Any rims you can fit are just too small to be very heavy, its borderline if the original rims even are 30kg in weight in total to begin with, of course making it impossible to save 30kg. You have to get larger, heavier dimensions like 18s, 19s at the very least (more likely 20s or above if originals are ok-ish) to be able to save 30kg in all. Cheers mate.

  • Give Yuki a boost controller, a new blow-off valve (almost anything is better than the stock BOV), some chassis stiffening, sticky tires, and maybe bigger injectors and a turbo timer. Also, you may not getting the full benefit of the catback exhaust; I'm not sure for the Cappuccino, but the AZ-1 stock downpipe (similar engine) is very restrictive. If that's the case for the Cappuccino, it would be exacerbated with additional boost., so have a look and swap it or bore it out You should be able to hit get past your 100hp target without modifying the engine internals. If you want to go all-out, there are options for oversized pistons, reinforced gaskets, new hoses, etc.

    • Yep, I see the same thing, noticeably lower than the 1.8. The 1.8 looks (and behaves) like stock suspension and sway bars

  • I have a Cappuccino and love it. They are very under rated and priced.

  • Aujourd'hui, c'est le Moment de Vérité pour Yuki. Avons-nous rendu notre microvoiture K de 0,6 litre plus rapide que le roi ? Nous avons acheté cette toute petite K-car, une Suzuki Cappuccino, plus tôt cette année, avec un objectif en tête : la rendre plus rapide que la voiture de sport d'entrée de gamme de référence actuelle, la Mazda MX-5. J'ai emmené la voiture chez des spécialistes japonais de l'automobile, Talk GT, pour effectuer des améliorations. Nous avons ajouté des amortisseurs BC Racing, des freins Tarox, un kit d'admission amélioré, un échappement HKS et un boîtier ECU K-Sport. Il freine mieux et va mieux. Cette petite voiture a été totalement transformée par rapport à l'origine. C'était une petite voiture mignonne et douce, mais maintenant Yuki est vraiment rapide à sa manière. Et il émet aussi des bruits comme ça. Nous ne pourrions pas avoir de projets automobiles comme le nouveau projet clé ou de tester des pistes comme celle-ci sans vous tous qui nous regardez et notre groupe de sponsors de chaîne. La vidéo d'aujourd'hui est sponsorisée par CarVertical. Saisir le numéro d'immatriculation ou le numéro VIN d'une voiture sur CarVertical est le moyen le plus rapide de savoir si un véhicule a été volé, s'il a un financement en cours, s'il y a quelque chose de louche avec le kilométrage ou s'il a été accidenté. Ils ont récemment redessiné leur interface pour que l'aperçu soit en haut, puis on passe directement aux photos. Voici notre Nissan 350Z qui a des coches vertes partout, sauf pour les dommages. Cependant, il indique "dommages". On oublie à quel point la 350Z est belle, surtout à l'arrière, mais ce magnifique arrière ne correspond pas à l'état de l'avant de cette voiture. Elle a subi un grave accident frontal. Si cette voiture a été réparée et mise en vente, ce rapport CarVertical indiquerait immédiatement qu'il faut s'en éloigner. Il indique également chaque fois que le titre du véhicule a changé, où il a été importé et exporté, toutes les informations qui vous donneront une tranquillité d'esprit concernant un véhicule. Revenons-en à Yuki. Grâce à ces amortisseurs BC Racing, le train avant est maintenant très vif. Avant, la voiture avait tendance à se pencher dans les virages, ce qui était amusant, mais pas rapide. Maintenant, cette voiture veut chasser les apex. Le boîtier ECU K-Sport a augmenté la puissance de 63 chevaux d'origine à 85 chevaux. Mais j'ai une confession à faire : le jour où nous avons obtenu 85 chevaux en rouge sur le banc de puissance, nous l'avons ramené chez Torque GT pour remplacer les freins, et nous avons alors constaté que les freins arrière étaient en fait fortement sollicités. Ils ont donc dû réduire cette valeur de puissance au banc de puissance. Je pense qu'avec mon propre banc de puissance, cette voiture produit probablement 90 chevaux, peut-être même 100. Je ne peux pas être sûr, mais Yuki est rapide. Il y a cependant un domaine dans lequel je pense avoir laissé tomber Yuki, ce sont les pneus. Je sais que c'est très important, mais j'ai complètement échoué à ce niveau, surtout pour un temps au tour. J'avais dit que j'allais lui mettre de nouveaux pneus, mais avec tout le travail en cours sur la Jaguar et la Subaru, je n'ai tout simplement pas eu le temps de m'en occuper. J'utilise les pneus actuels, ils sont en bon état, mais je n'ai absolument aucune idée de la marque. Je n'en ai jamais entendu parler auparavant, et Yuki commence déjà à glisser. J'espère vraiment que ces pneus dureront plusieurs tours, afin que nous puissions obtenir un bon temps. Sinon, Yuki va commencer à glisser beaucoup, peu importe ce que ce fil est. La question est de savoir si cela suffit. Avons-nous amélioré le jeu de Yuki à un point où il peut battre la voiture de sport d'entrée de gamme dominante ? C'est pourquoi elles sont ici. Ce que nous avons ici, ce sont deux MX-5 complètement d'origine, un modèle 1.6 et un modèle 1.8, ce qui signifie respectivement 90 chevaux et 130 chevaux. Ces voitures n'ont pas été équipées d'amortisseurs sport, de gros freins, et il n'y a pas de compresseur ou de turbo en vue. Sachant cela, je pense que la 1.6 sera plus facile à battre, mais la 1.8 sera difficile à surpasser. Cependant, arrêtons de bavarder, nous avons besoin d'un pilote professionnel de course impartial pour réaliser des tours. Abby, tu vas effectuer cinq tours dans chaque voiture, les deux premiers pour t'habituer à la voiture, puis trois tentatives chronométrées. Commençons par la 1.6. La 1.6 est plus rapide que je ne le pensais, et elle gère beaucoup mieux. Ma propre Mark 2 est une 1.6 et elle ne se comportait pas comme ça. On dirait qu'elle a été modifiée ici avec de nouvelles suspensions. Après cinq tours, le temps le plus rapide d'Abby est de 58,6 secondes. Puis est venue la 1.8. Bizarrement, la 1.8 est évidemment plus rapide dans les lignes droites, mais dans les virages, c'est exactement ce que je m'attendais à voir avec des suspensions MX-5 classiques de 20 ou 25 ans. Elle se comporte de manière plus flottante. Cela pourrait être serré entre la 1.6 et la 1.8, mais arrêtons les bavardages. Nous avons besoin d'un pilote professionnel et impartial pour réaliser des tours. Malheureusement, je n'ai pas pu obtenir de pilote professionnel de course, alors j'ai fait appel à Abby pour le rôle. Abby, bienvenue dans Yuki. Tu sembles plutôt à l'aise. J'avais peur qu'avec ton casque, tu doives enlever le toit, mais c'est plutôt spacieux, compte tenu de son apparence extérieure. J'ai hâte de voir ça. Tu devrais avoir de bons freins, une suspension pointue et une bonne puissance par rapport aux MX-5. Ça va être amusant, non ? C'est en fait très confortable et étonnamment spacieux. Concernant son apparence extérieure, j'avais quelques inquiétudes. J'ai hâte de l'essayer. Ça devrait être sympa. Tu as de bons freins, une suspension pointue et un boost par rapport aux MX-5. Oui, c'est une chose que j'ai ratée. Je n'avais jamais vu cette marque auparavant. Elle n'est pas très connue. Vous savez, les pneus sont super importants. Je ne sais pas comment j'ai pu les négliger. Espérons que tout le reste soit suffisamment bon pour que ça n'ait pas d'importance. Bonne chance, fais de ton mieux. Je sais que tu as de l'expérience avec les MX-5, donc tu es peut-être un peu biaisé. Mais bonne chance, fais de ton mieux. Abby, c'est parti ! En trois, deux, un, c'est parti ! Écoute ce petit turbo. Oui, voilà ce que je voulais voir. Abby met Yuki dans la chicane très proprement. D'accord, je pense qu'il se comporte encore mieux que la 1.6. La question est de savoir s'il a la vitesse dans les lignes droites. La 1.6 a 90 chevaux. Je pense que nous avons environ la même puissance, mais avec le boost. C'était rapide, plus rapide que les deux MX-5. Est-ce que ça suffira ? La voilà qui revient. Oui ! Oui ! Oui ! Super ! Fiou ! C'était de la super conduite, merci d'être venue. Tu veux connaître les temps ? Allez, dis-le nous. Donc, pour la 1.6, c'était 58,6, la 1.8 était 57,9. Assez proche. Yuki a fait 57,9 ! Incroyable, il a égalé la 1.8 et battu la 1.6. Comment se sont-elles comportées ? Donne-nous tes impressions. Après avoir sauté dans la 1.6, je l'ai trouvée plutôt performante, presque un peu comme une voiture de course. Elle était assez rigide, ce qui était surprenant compte tenu de l'âge de la voiture. Cependant, les freins n'étaient pas les meilleurs, ce qui l'a pénalisée. En passant à la 1.8, on pouvait clairement sentir la puissance supplémentaire, mais il y avait aussi beaucoup de flottement et de roulis. En montant dans Yuki, c'était un mélange des deux. Il avait la puissance et il était très agile. On pouvait facilement le placer où on le souhaitait. Les freins étaient aussi bons. Le seul point faible, étonnamment, c'était qu'il a fini par s'incliner et reposer sur le pneu dans certains virages serrés. Il est trop bas. Il faut peut-être ajuster la hauteur de suspension. Mais je savais dès le début que ça allait être serré entre cette voiture et la 1.8. Quoi qu'il en soit, j'ai apprécié conduire toutes ces voitures. Elles sont toutes géniales. Pour en revenir à la 1.6, j'ai parlé au propriétaire et bien qu'il n'ait pas installé de suspension sport, il a monté une suspension MX-5 neuve dessus. Comme tu l'as dit, on pouvait voir qu'elle était plate dans les virages, et je pensais que ce n'était pas une suspension à 25 euros. Il n'y a pas de suspension du tout. J'aurais dû sauter dans la 1.8. Je pensais que ça serait plus conforme à mes attentes. Exactement. Cette petite 1.6 est un vrai outsider. Eh bien, je suis très fier de cette voiture. L'objectif était de la rendre plus rapide qu'une MX-5, et nous l'avons fait. La voiture à moteur turbo de 0,6 litre a surpassé une MX-5 1.6, et je n'arrive pas à croire qu'elle soit au niveau de la 1.8. La question est maintenant de savoir ce que nous devrions faire avec ces voitures. Il y a une partie de moi qui pense que nous devrions clore ce projet, vendre la voiture, peut-être à l'un de vous qui l'avez appréciée, et utiliser cet argent pour notre projet MX-5 V10. Mais si vous avez d'autres idées cool pour Yuki, faites-moi part de vos suggestions dans les commentaires ci-dessous, je les lirai avec plaisir. Si vous avez aimé cette vidéo, mettez un pouce levé. Je suis Mike, et n'oubliez pas de vous abonner à Drivetribe.

  • As for the tires on Cappucino: Dębica is Polish, quite respected manufacturer, subsidiary of Goodyear. I'm... noooot sure if these ones are of type for circuit racing :) Dębica Passio are marketed as economical tires, rather for daily driving.

  • The hardtop on the 1.6 will help mazzzively with the handling and the import mx5 where a lot quicker than the UK models.
