Jet's House of Speed: F6 RS Phase II

Jetboy. · Nov 10, 2009

It's been about time that I got around to this.

What the mission is: Taking obscure and forgotten cars and making them road-worthy, and/or taking cars you already knew and making them faster, through competent techniques of tuning for the budget-conscious (sometimes ).

The F6 isn't a VL Commodore, therefore the NISMO wheels are not fitting.

Glad to have you with us in this here slice of the universe, Jetboy.

yeh i agree with Rotary Junkie but the F6 is still a nice car. What type of spoiler is it and how much (roughly) did you spend doing it up?
Pm me with answer if possible

Hey, where's the tune? This mild build doesn't as much thrive on the wizardry of suspension/ LSD/ transmission tuning. Why? This is supposed to be a quick build and the stock components are stout enough to handle what power it makes. Sound like a lot of money to you for all the more you get? Not hardly. Just for comparison purposes, I tested 4 vehicles that sit in a similar drivetrain/ horsepower/ price bracket. Just for kicks I threw in a Crossfire, since it also fell into the power/ price area.

So, this next part is going to be just a bit messy since I have no clue how to embed an Excel spreadsheet.

Numbers fall as thus:
Cost (plus Oil)/ PWR/ 0-60/ 0-100/ Quarter Mile/ Top Speed/ Flying Lap (El Capitan Normal)

Talon Tsi:-------------- 41990/ 5.279/ 6.98/ 14.95/ 15.285@ 102mph/ 165.03/ 2'01.859
Focus RS:-------------- 41460/ 4.764/ 7.48/ 15.02/ 15.441@ 103mph/ 149.73/ 2'01.980
Dodge SRT-4:---------- 20690/ 5.801/ 7.20/ 16.32/ 15.476@ 97mph/ 145.81/ 2'02.821
Eclipse GT '95 (6.2 Mile): 18256/ 5.879/ 7.43/ 16.55/ 15.784@ 97mph/ 159.84/ 2'07.045
DC5 Integra:------------ 25950/ 5.199/ 7.42/ 16.74/ 15.800@ 98mph/ 156.99/ 2'03.025
Chrysler Crossfire:------- 36120/ 5.948/ 5.98/ 15.75/ 14.630@ 97mph/ 157.71/ 2'00.261

Sure the Crossfire whipped it in almost every catagory. The correct wheels are also being driven. Meanwhile, the Talon is quicker in every catagory than it's front-drive counterparts, faster in top-end, and when driven at the limit, exhibits none of the traits that malign it's competitiors. Understeer just lightly tugs at the wheels to remind you what wheels are being driven.

Give it a drive. Eagle wants to be remembered.

The spolier is the first black one you come to in the select screen. (AB?) I can figure the exact price for you. May take me a bit, however since I'm on here. :lol:

They never made a real one, despite a few rumors I heard about 8 years ago, so here it is. Quite simply this will be one of the most forgiving cars you will ever drive.

Spoiler's are 1200. He was asking of the total price of the F6 RS, however. 👍

Feel like taking one of these for a spin?

So seeing how many races it can enter (and dominate, depending upon driver), this is quite the little versitile car. The S1 tires last quite a long time being paired with the lacking weight of the car, but there is a small drifty attitude in the first two gears. This can be either pleasing or aggravating depending on the driver. Switching to S3's fully corrects the issue.

The car's tendency to having a slow shifting issue, was solved with the accelleration parts available and the racing tranny. The racing tranny itself was tuned to allow quicker accelleration against the stock tranny's airplane gears. I hope you have fun with this one, but keep an eye out for swapping ends!

Jetboy

Stick the word "Eagle" on something and Americans will love it. :lol:

Rotary Junkie · Dec 16, 2009

Actually most Americans hated those rebadged Mitsubishis. Hence why they don't still exist.

They're not very fun to work on, either. :grumpy:

Timing belt MUST be done at 60,000, or else... :scared:

Younger than 60K is actually a good idea.

Jetboy. · Dec 16, 2009

So, are we going to test any of them? :lol:

The second generation to my somewhat lackluster F6, this one pushing the envelope even more for the TGC 2.0. Orbit-altering torque is best used from 3rd gear onward. It is deceptively light on it's feet and very quick to change direction.

Watchman · Dec 31, 2009

Jetboy. · Dec 31, 2009

Nah, Phase II is pretty much a full tune.

Watchman · Dec 31, 2009

Still waiting for someone to test a tune. You'd think that my garage winning the first TGC woulda helped. :lol:

No it's not, you're still 21hp down on a full tune.

Well it either a full tune or it isn't
