The Spaniard dropped from third place to fifth - behind both Ford drivers - after reporting a transmission problem with his Citroen Junior team C4 WRC. “It feels like it’s losing power at the front wheels in the corners,” explained Sordo. <br /> <br /> Petter Solberg set the fourth-fastest time to keep the overall lead, 9.4sec ahead of Sebastien Ogier in second. <br /> <br /> Click: <a href="http://www.wrc.com/news/ss6-latvala-flies-but-problems-for-sordo/?fid=13597" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-weight:bold">wrc.com/Japan News SS6</span></span></a> <br /> <br /> ------------------------ <br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight:bold">SS7</span> <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae140/Weasel_555/WRCRallyResults/Japan-SS7.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" border="0" /> <br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.wrc.com/news/660/100910_SS7.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" border="0" /> <br /> <br /> Ford's continuing good fortune on Friday afternoon's stages in Japan continued on SS7, when team-leader Mikko Hirvonen took the stage win - his first of the rally - and moved up to second place. <br /> <br /> Hirvonen completed the repeated 27km Sikot test in 15m 35s - 20 seconds quicker than his time when the stage was run earlier as SS4. Petter Solberg set the second fastest time, to remain in the rally lead by a margin of 9.6sec. <br /> <br /> Sebastien Ogier, who had been in second place, slipped 7sec behind Hirvonen into third. The Frenchman was fourth-fastest but reported no specific problems. <br /> <br /> After voicing transmission concerns on the previous stage, Dani Sordo set the sixth fastest time. <br /> <br /> After the 3.57km Koyka sprint stage (SS8) crews will return to the Sapporo Dome for two more passes over the Super Special stage. <br /> <br /> Click: <a href="http://www.wrc.com/news/ss7-hirvonen-up-to-second/?fid=13598" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-weight:bold">wrc.com/Japan News SS7</span></span></a> <br /> <br /> ------------------------ <br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight:bold">SS8</span> <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae140/Weasel_555/WRCRallyResults/Japan-SS8.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" border="0" /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ------------------------ <br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight:bold">SS9</span> <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae140/Weasel_555/WRCRallyResults/Japan-SS9.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" border="0" /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ------------------------ <br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight:bold">End of Day 1 <br /> SS10</span> <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae140/Weasel_555/WRCRallyResults/Japan-SS10.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" border="0" /> <br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.wrc.com/news/660/100910_tunnel.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" border="0" /> <br /> <br /> Friday's competition on Rally Japan concluded with a trio of short sprint stages, none of which altered the order of the top 10. <br /> <br /> Mikko Hirvonen was fastest through the 3.5km Koyka test, trimming 1.1sec off Petter Solberg’s rally lead, although the Norwegian clawed back all but one-tenth of that on the two passes over the Super Special which followed. <br /> <br /> Sebastien Loeb was fastest around the Sapporo Dome circuit on the SS9 pass, while Solberg was quickest on the next [SS10] to consolidate an overnight rally lead of 9.4sec. <br /> <br /> Click: <a href="http://www.wrc.com/news/after-ss10-leaders-clear-the-three-sprints/?fid=13601" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-weight:bold">wrc.com/Japan News After SS10</span></span></a> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> . <img src="http://wrxmodders.com/forums/images/smiles/grin.gif" alt="Very Happy" border="0" /><br />_________________<br /><span style="color:yellow">&quot;All We'll Drive&quot;</span></span><br /> Weasel 555 Rally Racing Weasel 555 http://wrxmodders.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=258077#258077 2010-09-10T08:02:08Z 2010-09-10T08:02:08Z Author: <a href="http://wrxmodders.com/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=385" target="_blank">Weasel 555</a><br /> Posted: Fri Sep 10, 2010 1:02 am (GMT -7)<br /><br /><span class="postbody"> <span style="font-weight:bold">SS3</span> <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae140/Weasel_555/WRCRallyResults/Japan-SS3.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" border="0" /> <br /> <br /> Petter Solberg was the fastest driver through Friday's opening stage of Rally Japan - the first 'proper' gravel test of the event. <br /> <br /> Despite suffering from a bout of ‘flu, the Norwegian shot through the 26km Iwanke test 3.2sec quicker than his nearest rival, fellow Citroen C4 driver Sebastien Ogier. <br /> <br /> Ogier led the rally after Thursday’s two Super Special stages and held on to the position after SS3. Solberg however moved up from eleventh place overnight to second, 2.5sec adrift of Ogier. <br /> <br /> Dani Sordo was third fastest on stage three, setting a time 8sec slower than Ogier’s. <br /> <br /> Defending world champion Sebastien Loeb was sixth fastest; 24sec slower than Solberg and baffled by his lack of pace. “There’s no reason. I was trying to push but I cannot keep the car in the line,” he said. “It’s very slippery, so maybe it’s road condition, but not so much. We have to check.” <br /> <br /> Khalid Al Qassimi became the first WRC retirement of the event. The BP Ford Abu Dhabi team driver rolled his Ford Focus 1.2km from the start line. <br /> <br /> Click: <a href="http://www.wrc.com/news/ss3-petter-quickest-on-fridays-opener-in-japan/?fid=13591" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-weight:bold">wrc.com/Japan News SS3</span></span></a> <br /> <br /> <br /> -------------------- <br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight:bold">SS4</span> <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae140/Weasel_555/WRCRallyResults/Japan-SS4.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" border="0" /> <br /> <br /> Petter Solberg leapt into the lead of Rally Japan on stage four, putting a gap of 8.5sec between himself and second placed Sebastien Ogier. <br /> <br /> Still suffering from the fever he picked up on Tuesday, Solberg also had to contend with a flat right-hand rear tyre three kilometres before the end of the 27km Sikot test - but still managed to set the fastest time. <br /> <br /> BP Ford Abu Dhabi team driver Jari-Matti Latvala was closest to Petter’s stage time - six-tenths adrift - while Dani Sordo rounded off the top three times. <br /> <br /> Running first through Friday’s stages, championship leader Sebastien Loeb was seventh quickest, 14sec slower than Solberg but feeling better about his pace than he had been after SS3. “The [road] cleaning was much less here,” he said. “It’s damper and there’s less gravel so I had a better feeling.” <br /> <br /> After the short 3.57km Koyka stage (SS5) crews will return to the Tsukisamu Dome for a 30-minute service. <br /> <br /> Click: <a href="http://www.wrc.com/news/ss4-petter-snatches-the-lead-in-japan/?fid=13594" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-weight:bold">wrc.com/Japan News SS4</span></span></a> <br /> <br /> -------------------- <br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight:bold">SS5</span> <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae140/Weasel_555/WRCRallyResults/Japan-SS5.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" border="0" /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight:bold">Midday Wrap</span> <br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.wrc.com/news/660/100910_serv.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" border="0" /> <br /> <br /> A flu-ridden Petter Solberg drove a near-perfect morning to open a 10-second lead on Rally Japan. <br /> <br /> The Citroen C4 WRC driver was unhappy with the set-up of his car through last night’s two Sapporo Dome stages, but he was quickest out of the blocks when the cars hit the dirt this morning. Fastest through the long stages - Iwanke and Sikot - he was third quickest on the morning’s final short test. <br /> <br /> “It’s been good this morning,” said Solberg. “It’s very fast, but I can still go quicker. I’m happy so far and not feeling too bad. When you start the stages you start to forget about not feeling so well.” <br /> <br /> World Rally Championship leader Sebastien Loeb is sixth at lunchtime 36.6 seconds off Solberg’s rally-leading pace. The bulk of the Frenchman’s time loss came in the morning’s opening test. “I couldn’t find any rhythm in there at all,” said Loeb. “I tried to push, but it just wasn’t working. Maybe it’s the road surface, maybe I’m cleaning - I don’t know.” <br /> <br /> Loeb’s times improved through the next two stages, but running first on the road on the soft and very dry roads was not helping as he swept the loose gravel from the line for the crews behind. <br /> <br /> Given the Sebastien Ogier was just one car behind Loeb, he was driving well to hold second place behind Solberg. “It’s not easy,” said Citroen Total World Rally Team driver. “We are still cleaning the road.” <br /> <br /> Dani Sordo was a trouble-free third with the top-running Ford of Mikko Hirvonen right on his tail, just nine tenths of a second down. Hirvonen admitted the ruts appearing in the road were not making the job easy. Ford’s second Finn, Jari-Matti Latvala, was 6.9 seconds behind Hirvonen. <br /> <br /> “I don’t think I was completely awake on the first stage this morning,” said Latvala. “But it’s better now.” Latvala softened his Ford for the second two stages of the loop and found more grip from the Focus RS WRC. <br /> <br /> The only major retirement from the manufacturer crews was Khalid Al Qassimi, who rolled his Ford on the opening stage this morning. <br /> <br /> Swede Patrik Flodin has moved into the lead of the Production Car World Rally Championship after his fellow Subaru driver, local hero Toshi Arai crashed out on SS5. <br /> <br /> Ford Fiesta S2000 driver Jari Ketomaa leads the Super 2000 World Rally Championship standings by 37.2 seconds from the similarly mounted Martin Prokop. <br /> <br /> Click: <a href="http://www.wrc.com/news/midday-wrap-solberg-rules-in-japan/?fid=13596" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-weight:bold">wrc.com/Friday/Japan Midday Wrap</span></span></a> <br /> <br /> <br /> .<img src="http://wrxmodders.com/forums/images/smiles/cool.gif" alt="Cool" border="0" /><br />_________________<br /><span style="color:yellow">&quot;All We'll Drive&quot;</span></span><br /> WRX-N-EFFEX Parts for sale WRX-N-EFFEX http://wrxmodders.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=258076#258076 2010-09-09T19:12:57Z 2010-09-09T19:12:57Z Author: <a href="http://wrxmodders.com/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=227" target="_blank">WRX-N-EFFEX</a><br /> Subject: FS WV Turbo XS Down Pipe<br />Posted: Thu Sep 09, 2010 12:12 pm (GMT -7)<br /><br /><span class="postbody"> Selling this for a friend.

He drove the 1.57-kilometre stage five times, his quickest time being two seconds down on the Ford driver Jari-Matti Latvala’s benchmark. <br /> <br /> “The concrete block was a bit out of line with the others,” said Raikkonen. ”So when I turned in the wheel hit the edge and came off. I don’t think it’s too serious. I’m sure the guys will be able to fix it. These stages [on Rally Japan] are going to be really tricky. If we have a problem, it’s best that we have it now so maybe this is just reminding us to be careful.” <br /> <br /> Raikkonen’s Citroen was repaired ahead of this evening’s two runs at the superspecial stage (which is the same as Shakedown) and the Finn will take the start as expected. <br /> <br /> Latvala was pleased with his fastest time at shakedown, but added a word of warning, pointing out that he completed the stage 10 times compared with Sebastien Loeb who was second quickest after just four laps. <br /> <br /> Latvala’s shakedown was interrupted by an electrical fault which forced him to stop on the road section back to service. The fault was traced to the ECU and fixed by the mechanics. “Shakedown was good,” said Latvala. “I did a lot of runs because I want to practice this kind of superspecial stage. I’m happy with the way it went, but it’s not the same as the stages which are coming for us in the next three days. I am aiming for the podium on this event.” <br /> <br /> Loeb was just 0.4 seconds behind Latvala, with Raikkonen’s Citroen Junior Team team-mate Dani Sordo third quickest. Loeb’s team-mate Sebastien Ogier was fourth fastest with Englishman Matthew Wilson running as the second fastest Ford in fifth place. <br /> <br /> Petter Solberg’s start to the event wasn’t ideal after he suffered a sinus problem. Solberg’s illness kept him out of the pre-event press conference, but he is expected to recover in time for the start of the event this evening. <br /> <br /> Click: <a href="http://www.wrc.com/news/raikkonen-shakedown-shunt-wont-slow-me-in-japan/?fid=13584" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-weight:bold">wrc.com/Japan Shakedown News</span></span></a> <br /> <br /> ------------------------------ <br /> <span style="font-weight:bold">SS1</span> <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae140/Weasel_555/WRCRallyResults/Japan-SS1.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" border="0" /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight:bold">SS2</span> <br /> <br /> <img src="http://i965.photobucket.com/albums/ae140/Weasel_555/WRCRallyResults/Japan-SS2update.jpg" alt="Image" title="Image" border="0" /> <br /> <br /> ------------------------ <br /> <br /> Sebastien Ogier holds a slender overnight lead of Rally Japan after going fastest on Thursday evening's opening two stages. <br /> <br /> The rally got underway at the Sapporo Dome Super Special, with drivers racing head-to-head over two passes of the 1.57km circuit, which included sweeping hairpin bends and a table-top jump. <br /> <br /> On the first pass, run as SS1, the Frenchman, driving for the Citroen Total team in Japan, was 0.5sec quicker than his closest rival Dani Sordo. <br /> <br /> On the second pass he beat his nearest challenger, Kimi Raikkonen, by eight-tenths. Ogier will carry a two second lead into Friday’s competition, which is based on gravel forest tracks near the city. <br /> <br /> Two time Japan winner Mikko Hirvonen holds second place, with Dani Sordo third and Jari-Matti Latvala fourth. Kimi Raikkonen, who crashed his Citroen C4 at Thursday’s Shakedown, is fifth. <br /> <br /> Click: <a href="http://www.wrc.com/news/ogier-leads-after-thursdays-super-specials/?fid=13589" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-weight:bold">wrc.com/SS1 &amp; SS2 News</span></span></a> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> . <br /> <img src="http://wrxmodders.com/forums/images/smiles/cool.gif" alt="Cool" border="0" /><br />_________________<br /><span style="color:yellow">&quot;All We'll Drive&quot;</span></span><br /> awd&gt;fwd Cars for sale awd&gt;fwd http://wrxmodders.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=258074#258074 2010-09-08T19:41:38Z 2010-09-08T19:41:38Z Author: <a href="http://wrxmodders.com/forums/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=51" target="_blank">awd&gt;fwd</a><br /> Posted: Wed Sep 08, 2010 12:41 pm (GMT -7)<br /><br /><span class="postbody"> So, what's the status?

After several years based in the smaller city of Obihiro, the last running of Rally Japan took place in the metropolis of Sapporo - which hosted the winter Olympics in 1972 as well as the football World Cup in 2002. <br /> <br /> So it's not a place that is lacking in sporting heritage. When it comes to motorsport, few countries greet the arrival of the World Rally Championship with such unrestrained enthusiasm. The drivers are treated like rock stars, with some Japanese fans going so far as to camp out in hotel foyers, in the hope of door-stepping their heroes. <br /> <br /> Despite the move of rally headquarters, the stages are still similar to how they were when the rally was in Obihiro. Japan is a curiously specific event: no other stages anywhere else in the world are in any way similar. The Japanese roads tend to be narrow with soft surfaces, but despite this they are extremely quick. This is partly down to several long straights, which frequently lead to tight 90-degree corners. Getting the braking right is an essential skill in Japan, especially because the braking areas are often slippery with plenty of loose stones. <br /> <br /> The soft gravel, which tends to form deep ruts on the second run through the stages, is one reason why. Another important variable is the weather, which is often wet and cold. Temperatures fluctuate between 10 and 20 degrees Centigrade, frequently reminding people that Hokkaido is a well-known skiing area on the same latitude as Siberia. One of the keys to getting a good result is having a decent set of pace notes. Just like Finland, precision and commitment is the name of the game. <br /> <br /> While damp gravel is the defining characteristic of the surfaces, the rally kicks off with an all-asphalt indoor superspecial in Sapporo, which unusually forms the venue for the shakedown stage as well. The superspecial stage is one that the crews visit frequently: in total it is run eight times! <br /> <br /> That rather sums Rally Japan: it’s hard for the drivers to get into any sort of rhythm on the event as it consists of several short, sharp stages. There are 26 of them in fact, comprising 303 competitive kilometres. Nonetheless, the total route length is 1220 kilometres, meaning that the crews are in for a few long road sections, early starts and late nights. <br /> <br /> Rally Japan is one of the last great adventures left on the calendar, involving flat-out stages, white-gloved taxi drivers, sushi on conveyor belts, and incomprehensible road signs. It’s hard to make sense of it all sometimes. But if it were easy, everybody would do it... <br /> <br /> Click: <a href="http://www.wrc.com/news/wrccom-countdown-to-rally-japan/?fid=13568&amp;page=4015" target="_blank" class="postlink"><span style="font-weight:bold"><span style="text-decoration:underline">wrc.com/news/countdown-to-rally-japan/</span></span></a> <br /> <br /> . <img src="http://wrxmodders.com/forums/images/smiles/grin.gif" alt="Very Happy" border="0" /><br />_________________<br /><span style="color:yellow">&quot;All We'll Drive&quot;</span></span><br />
