Salt Fire by D.Speed
Please use "View Image" command to see a larger logo.
At this stage I know very little about this car modifier. The narration
in the guidebook doesn't have enough Chinese characters for me to comprehend
what they're talking about, so.... What is shown below is the version III
of the SaltFire package. NEW !! Version
IV is already out, and you can click here
to see a large picture(284kb JPEG) or here
for a small one(16kb JPEG).

On some car magazine advertisements, it says that this package was sort
of made for :
1997 Bennevil Speed Trial
S14 Silvia "Salt Fair" "Fair" came out twice
in the same ad, is it a typo?
Project
Some other car magazines say "Salt Flat"..... Are Japanese so bad at spelling
English?
The project may well be related to a 350km/h speed attempt in Japan.
Can someone pls gimme a clue?
At the time of writing I only know that D.Speed also does the same
tuning package with the older S14. Other aero kits are available
for the older version, too. Believe me, that old car kits don't look
as good as the facelifted version shown here.
Not only was the narration was "Chinese char-scarce", the list of
changes D.Speed put into this car was also very short. I can't see
anything that suggests additional fuel injectors, turbos, suspension springs....
Chances are, the Salt Fire package emphasizes exterior look and minor performance
improvements. In the guidebook, photos of a racing clutch set and
a muffler system were shown (not included here), they should be part of
the package, too.
The Rear wing is almost as big as the TBO's, and is adjustable.
The magazine ad says that one of the aero parts, possibly the wing, offers
two choices - electric or manual. Woo woo.. electrical adjustible
rear wing... The electric version costs Y45,000. Manual is
Y38,000.
The tire sizes seem to be the very popular f:225 r:255 combination.
