Wow…:drool:

I particularly like that NSX banner. Looks like you were having fun there. :lol:

Though you could have added something like another little box in the banner that said [LotS Season 2 Winner] or whatever it was, rather than screwing up the neat layout with the actual text. But I'm not a photoshop expert, I don't even have it, so yea…

HAHA, yeah i noticed that.. i'll find a way to fix it with time.

R34 and is supra going well?

And yeah, the R34 is the premium one

i've finished the Supra, just have to make the setup sheet. My internet connection is abysmal and it makes using google docs (where i make the setup sheets) and flickr (where i upload images) a real pain in the ass to use.

The most feared of all Wangan monsters... Honestly, it's quite easy to tune this beast to go fast. But this one here is less likely to kill you while taking corners are 230mph, S-turns at 160mph and SSR7's turn-arounds will also be safer at 50-60mph. It'll do excess of 230mph on its own and draft way past 250. Godspeed.

So after a whole day of B-Spec grinding on that 650PP seasonal event today, I'm finally about to buy my first 20,000,000 Cr. car. But... I DON'T KNOW which one to buy!!!

The ford sounds best but only has a 4 speed, whereas the 330 has better handeling, is lighter, more horsepower and has 5 gears.
 
Hey guys,

Has there been any official reviews for the V12 Vantage. I'm going to put the tune on later and give it a go as I have a 3 hour endurance with it on Saturday so I was wandering if anyone has reviewed it?

Cheers.

White Charisma is one of the '12 Zodiacs' from the Tokyo Xtreme Racer series on PS2 and here is my recreation of it. The Transmission settings are good for 220+MPH at SSR7 and 226+MPH at SSRX (5 Speed with 6th as draft gear). Also this is my first Wangan tune :nervous:

Queen's Knight is a silent but deadly WRX that can pack a punch even if it's down tuned to 500PP. Pulling times higher than most cars that have run in Legend of the Streets: Initial D GT5 Touge Seasons.

LSD Tuning Philosophy
entry on tuning forums​

One philosophy that has been working wonders for my online-based setups as of late is a times-table of sorts. Though, as expected, it varies by car.

Most performance cars (as opposed to family cars), have a stock LSD setting of 7:30:15 (with the exception of BMW's and most Ferrari's which have a stock LSD setting of 5:20:10). Which works great... so with Accel/Decel at 30/15 I start toying with the IT (Initial Torque) number. I try to find the one that uses the most grip of both tires while cornering.
Now.. after I find a setting I'm comfortable with, I change the Accel/Decel to 3x/2x the IT. (eg: 7:21:14, 5:15:10, 8:24:16)

Depending on the the drivetrain and the general handling of the car in stock form (whether it understeers or oversteers a lot) i would raise or lower the Accel by 1x. (eg: 7:28:14, 5:20:10, 8:32:16).

Now with all this being said, these are never the final settings of the car, unless it is absolutely magnificent the first time out. I use these numbers as a base from which to fine-tune the individual aspects.

  • Too twitchy in corner entry? raise Decel by increments of 1, too much understeer, lower Decel and so forth.
  • Too much oversteer while apexing? Raise Accel by 1
  • Too much oversteer during corner exit? Lower Accel by 1

Some cars, though, require drastic and often unorthodox methods. For example, my touge-set-up S2000 uses 5:55:5 for LSD settings. Simply because that particular car has such a tight turning circle. The IT@5 helps the wheels lock early in the rev-range and being N/A with 9000RPM redline, at no point will you feel the car is too loose. the Accel@55 is since the car has such amazing handling in stick form, it can make as much use of the high RPM without spinning out as often while exiting tight corners but yet allowing you to drift it on-command. The Decel@5 keeps it always agile and responsive at any speed.

This all varies by driver and you'd have to take your time if tuning a car you intend to run for a competition or regularly in online races. Personally, I have somewhat of a love affair with every car I tune. I run them online against friends, against randoms, and against the AI in professional-mode A-Spec races in Arcade mode until I find that the car is as fast AND FUN as can be. My general tuning philosophy is that no matter what, never forget that just as fast as you want your car to be, it must also be fun to drive for YOU!

All this advice is relative to driver experience and technique. I share my favorite and most developed settings in my tuning garage and though my settings may not be comfortable for every driver, I enjoy sharing my setups and encourage my 'customers' to make whatever changes they feel necessary in order for their technique to get the most out of my setups.

Hope this helped :)

Pure, Raw, Unadulterated power. And with nothing to hold you back, you better come prepared with some balls of steel along with a diaper if you're to tame this pony. 524 horses blasting through 12 cylinders.. oh, and with ABS off don't forget your bible. Now.. scary as this ride may be, once you get the a rhythm of which RPM's the most power and torque are; GT-R's, M3's and most other cars in the same range will be feeding on a full course of your Flat-12's dust!

Classic American muscle at its finest right here. Deep down inside, most of us wish we could be Steve McQueen... well now you can.. almost (as it's not exactly the same model he drives in Bullitt, but the next best thing). Despite having no ABS, this car has an impressive set of stoppers 👍

Bigger means better in Blue Pressure's case, weighting in at 1441kg its no where near as light as some of the Beasts of the Wangan but with 847BHP this E55 AMG has got te power and top end to make sure it makes its meaning known.

Midnight Rose is a Turbocharged V8 monster that will take no prisoners when it comes to draft racing. Tuned to run a 4 Speed transmission with 5th gear as a drafting gear this Lotus will easily pull speed's of well over 250MPH....

Got to ask you Solid. Will you update the FD Civic tune? Better yet, is a MR-S in the works? :D
Click to expand...

I was actually running the FD2 and DC5 in offline races last week. I want to work on a Spec-II setup for them but I have been focusing more on some other projects. Namely the old school cars and a touge FD3S. The Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary and Camaro Z28 will be the next two from that list to be released as soon as I can. Also, i gotta add the new Zodiacs to the OP as soon as i can. Haven't been online in almost a week on PSN haha.

Golden Wind is possibly my Finest creation yet on the Wangan. With 790Bhp it will easily carry you beyond 240 without draft.

For those that haven't been told.. I've been on hiatus cause I have no internet at home :banghead:
But I've still been tuning non-stop in my free time.

The next update to the "Old-School" cars is coming soon which will include:
Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary
Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 '69

Along some new 500PP touge tunes that I've been reworking, including an update for the Honda FD2 and DC5 (now non-turbo).

And some more surprises along the way including my first Race-Only setups and more new projects from Shadow and myself. All in good time, friends. All in good time.
