Cusco Silvia on race track
Cusco not only manufactures / markets parts, the car tuner also sells packaged
deals. (I have a pair of Cusco strut braces / tower bars installed
in my S14.) This car is frequently shown in Cusco advertisements
because it is really "The Works" of Cusco mods.
Blue anodized aluminium parts are used extensively. Such include
blue tie rods (the linkages connecting the wheel spindles to the rack &
pinion assembly), roll cage, intercooler pipes. Unlike other cars
shown in this gallery, this Cusco Silvia doesn't seem to have all the big
turbos nor intercoolers to boost straight line performance. Handling
improvements are many, though, such as the Pillow Ball Upper Mount (see
the two tower tops ? At the blue circular tower bar ends u should
see the upper mount inside the bar ends). This upper mount replaces
the stock rubber unit, and also allows for adjustment of camber (the angle
at which the wheels slant inwards when u view it from the front)
Note that the blue intercooler pipes have fins sticking out of it -- this
provides better cooling effect. The use of metal pipes here also
makes the boost more stable. (Actually this may translate to a more
sudden acceleration when the turbo boost comes in.... feels good ah....)
