Feel free to post your comments, questions, rants and raves on the Suzuki Cappuccino (EA11R) in IDAS 5 Well, here goes . . . I actually have an FC on my card but I was introducing 3 of my friends to IDAS 5 yesterday. My first race was with a Mazda RX-8 (SE3P) on Happo Inbound Wet , as my friend picked the random course battle. The first thing that surprised me was how stable the Capp felt compared to the FC . Now of course it was rain and I overcompensated a number of times and got some oversteer, but the stable feel of the car was a total surprise to me. And yes, it was crazy doing blind attacks in the rain Later as I was doing the free play after a battle, a guy linked up and set it for Akagi downhill dry, using an Evo IX. Good thing he didn't step on the brake, so it was boost on. I had to keep in mind that this car is so much more maneuverable than the FC, after a couple of oversteer incidents, especially one at the V-turn. But again, the stable feel was there. And the ultimate icing on the cake was beating the Evo To sum it up, I think the Capp has lots of potential for downhill courses in this game, just be mindful that you don't push your steering over the limit. |

Well, I guess the oversteer was due to my mistakes However, the Evo IX guy was also slipping and sliding a bit, and I'm wondering if boost on lowers the grip on some corners. Also, don't expect to out-start most anything else . . . but Capp vs. MRS? I did lose to an EK9 on Iro downhill dry, boost off, but that was because I wasn't familiar enough with the map. Anyways if it's driven to the limit, this is what you'll get: -3'06''129 Iro dh dry EA11R http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGmUUZU9lhs (From the ID5 Videos page, https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=37429 ) This post has been edited by DROMOS on May 16 2009, 10:48 PM | ||

Reading is magic! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,601 Member No.: 30,700 Joined: Sep 24th 2008 Location: Philippines | It...does make a little bit of sense. It's a Kei car that weighs a little more than half a ton, so I suppose that would make it stable in the sense that there's little weight to throw around and regain control over from inertia. I'm going to try this over my RX8. I'll post what I find sometime next week. |

IDW Full Member Group: Members Posts: 41 Member No.: 32,357 Joined: Mar 26th 2009 Location: Singapore FTW! | I am just concerned with capp having a reputation of a underdog car. Due to its slow straight road accleration. Hence you have to be a much more skilled player to beat another driver who has a good acceleration car. |

Reading is magic! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,601 Member No.: 30,700 Joined: Sep 24th 2008 Location: Philippines | So I drove it down Iro dry. And as long as you have a general grasp of what you're doing, this car makes your whole life so much easier. Compared to a regular sized coupe, the capp's small size makes it all too simple to navigate a tight hairpin and sticks to the inside like it was bolted on. Very little drift from this bugger; and I was able to get within two seconds of my best time with the RX8. And that was with quite a few obvious mistakes. I do find the really loud turbo kicking in at the higher RPMs funny. Paint it black, give it a fierce looking bodykit, and you've basically got a noise machine that can pull two mind games at once during a blind attack! |

Dont worry it practically DIES on uphill maps. I wanna challenge myself a bit with this car. When we meeting up? |

Reading is magic! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,601 Member No.: 30,700 Joined: Sep 24th 2008 Location: Philippines | But she ain't FT! I'll see if I can pull a friday after school. ( Or better; if a certain someone I know wants to go too, then there's absolutley NO problem! ) I'm not exactly capable of moving throughout the Philippines, but I have hiked through a typhoon and flooded streets just to play near G4. That should be interesting though; I'll get to see if the Goddess can take uphill at all. She's always been a DH car. Then again with you driving, I'm probably going to be feeling stupid watching a small kei car pass me on the gutters. |

IDW God Member Group: Members Posts: 187 Member No.: 33,311 Joined: Jun 26th 2009 Location: Senayan City | I missed my Capp... I played a Capp in IDAS 4, and was originally intended to make it my primary car in IDAS 5 as well.. But, I felt bored (and, like Wolf said, it really, really dies in uphill), so I made a R34 instead.. Well, my 2nd car will be another Capp, a red one, complete with the whole Suzuki Sports body kit collection.. |

Or rather, I notice the "underpowerness" but the coffee car isn't really like that much of a gone f*** on the uphill. But yeah, A real lining machine. |

maybe you're driving too fast in some parts, so you don't have enough boost in last corner btw, cappu is a nice car... very good on tricky course... and it has 'blender' like sound engine want to try step 7'd cappu... look's fun... | ||

My cappa from 4 has already been upgraded to step 7. Unfortunately, this time around I started with BNR34 instead... My initial plan was to start upgrading my cappa only after I finished the LoTS battles at least once with my R34, but... I'm beginning to change my mind and plan to start upgrading my cappa after I finish upgrading my R34 to engine step 7... I missed my cappa... | ||

IDW God Member Group: Members Posts: 178 Member No.: 29,438 Joined: May 4th 2008 Location: カナダ | I love my little Capp so much. It's my favorite car to drive in the game. I can't wait till it's fully upgraded to Step 7, but that is going to take some time. I haven't raced in many uphill battles, so I can't really complain about the Capp being underpowered. Everything so far has been great. If only my skills were more fine tuned. |

The Aspiring Sprinter Group: Advanced Members Posts: 844 Member No.: 32,890 Joined: May 11th 2009 Location: Malaysia, KL | Tried at least a few times the Capp on Tsukuba OB and Nagao DH. My gosh, that car's handling is EXTREME. I always tend to oversteer the car by accident while nailing the gutters there. And that thing seemed more like flying than turning for me. It's so freakin' light that I am actually quite scared of the car's traction control. But nonetheless, it has its undeniable advantage on DH or OB courses. When I try to use it to go against Team 246's Omiya Satoshi in Nagao DH, I smoked him easily without breaking a sweat. Pretty cool car. Might plan to get one if I DO have money to make new cards. LOL (Didn't plan on giving up my new love-car "ZZW30") This post has been edited by Randy on Sep 12 2009, 11:36 PM |
