Well, there's not really much to say about this place. I have about a week of GT5 tuning experience, and the only good thing I've ever done was getting a GT-ONE to wheelie on GT4. Until now. I hope these tunes are good. Layout is grabbed from LDP, hope you don't mind ;D

Requests are accepted, although I reserve the right to deny them. See the link in my sig for my Garage, if the car isn't there, you'll have to gift one to me, or tell me an easy way to get it.​

Well, there you go. My first completely custom tune. Except the thread layout, that's nabbed from LDP. But if/when I start my own Tune Shop I'll make my own. Perhaps. But anyways, the car.

I run on Automatic Transmission, because I can't figure out manual, so gear shifts you'll have to figure out yourself. I've tried to eliminate most of the inherent understeer that came with this SOB, and I personally think I succeeded quite well.

TE stands for Tahoe Edition if you want to know, because from the little I know about California, Tahoe is a fairly mountainous area, and because this thing handles well (read: better than before), and mountain roads are notorious for twisting bends, I figured it was a fitting name.

Clinically insane. Only way to describe this... Thing. No, really, do not use this unless you know how to handle a car that kicks it's tail out, A LOT. And also, a Supercharger on this might sound like a good idea. It's not.

Also, if you want a little less understeer but more sliding out, set the Initial Torque on this thing to 5-8. If you want it the other way around, set it to 20-25.

Miracle on 4 wheels. That is all that can be said. Not ideal for Daytonas or barely Nordschleifes, but on Deep Forest Raceway it's .3 seconds faster than a maxed out ZR1 RM. And that's saying something. And on top of that, it's a pleasure to drive. When I was done tuning this, I spent like 2 hours just lapping around Deep Forest again and again. Pretty much anybody can drive this.

EDIT: Yeah, so I just reworked the entire LSD on this thing, and minor suspension and tranny changes. The fact that I shaved off 4 seconds on Trial Mountain and 1 off High Speed Ring speaks for itself. It's not quite as fun anymore, but still a very nice car. Now if anyone would test this new layout...

C'mon, people have been requesting this all week, at least comment on some of the tunes?
 
Yeah... it was a bad literary pun left as comment so you wouldn't feel so bad for their being no comments so far. John Galt refers to an ambiguous character mentioned only in name and that doesn't actually exist, kind of how you might have been thinking your thread was going. :)

Okay...
Test 1: I reset the car to default suspension, and made very minor changes.
This includes: Max Aero, My custom LSD, -10/-8 ride height, 1.0 front camber, and 0.00 rear toe. Everything else was default. This is a basic upgrade from stock, and it's usually what I do, before ever driving the car. Fix rear toe, lower it, and up front camber a tiny bit.
* Note, my car's HP is only at 447hp, it needs an oil change and only has stage 2 turbo? I didn't even know I could upgrade this car, I've had it for a while (I didn't even know it was 4WD).

Ran 2 laps of warm up and 2 laps of qualifying.
Test Track: Trial Mountain
Best Lap: 1:18.192

Then I installed your specs. Again, 2 laps of warm up, 2 laps hard.

1) 1:18.987
2) 1:18.973
3) 1:18.242
4) 1:18.447

1 tenth slower than the stock suspension. Your spring rates, and possibly brake balance give the car a tendency for the rear end to swing around into corners. Not, in a way that it's spinning out, but where it feels as if the car is rear end heavy, and when turning hard into a corner, the weight of the rear throws off the balance of the car. I assume this is due to your rear springs being too soft.

So... Now that you've reminded me the car is a 4WD, I recalled my Scooby Doo tests of February and set the Torque Differential to 50/50, put the stock suspension back on including my minor tweaks mentioned above.
I ran 3 quick laps and managed
1) 1:18.812
2) 1:17.985
3) 1:17.635

Then I applied your Shocks to the stock settings, ran 3 more laps:
1) 1:17.683
2) 1:17.699
3) 1:17.613

The shocks didn't make any notable difference in sectors 1 and 3, but in sector 2, I was able to cut 3 tenths off the best lap. So either, they're better, or I just had a rough 2nd sector on the previous best lap. They do give the car a slightly better feel, as far as stability. The car also looks more 'in' the track.

*All laps were run, in my online lounge, tire/fuel consumption off, Grip Reduction Low (default) and without cutting corners. If I were to drive the way I actually would online, I'd save another 2-3 tenths through the first sector. Adjusting the tranny would yield probably another tenth or 2.
 
...Ouch. Not so much that you pointed out the flaws, as that you blew 6 seconds off my lap time o.O And I though I did a pretty decent lap...

But anyways, thanks. I'll look into it either this afternoon or during the weekend. And when you say adjusting the tranny would shave another few tenths off, is that upwards or downwards? I've actually got it set to 300 KPH on my own model, as it's more all round, I was going to update that this weekend as well.

BTW, due to the review, you can now request a tune, if you wish ;D

The tranny settings I used in all tests were... I don't know, but I was barely shifting into 6th at the end of the straight. I didn't even check the tranny settings to be honest.
As for the tune... I'll have to take a gander through my garage and see what I'm missing & get back to you.
 
I use AT tranny, so I'm not so good at the gears =P But you tell me when you find a car you want tuned ;D But no Miuras or anything insanely hard to get =P
 
Do you use any other Driving Aids, by any chance? No point tuning if you have aids on...
 
I'll give your California tune a shot later. Looking at your suspension values, your style is similar to mine, tuning for a slight bit of oversteer. I often brake late though and 4/7 might be a bit too much rear bias for me. Typically on FR cars I am at 6/5, 6/4, 7/5 f/r.
 
You did that time? Awesome xD Srsly, I'm still in shock how fast I managed to make it around Deep Forest xD
 
Ok, I'm doing a series of online races at Trail Mountain tight now with the FTO, PP600 limit.
I have everything maxed, but with only stage 2 turbo. Fits in at 596pp I think.
With the set up I've mentioned previously, my best lap in the room is currently 1:17.151, no draft, no cutting the last corner. Tire Wear & Fuel Consumption On, in free run mode.

Swapping to your updated tune, I managed a 1:17.820.
But... I forgot to change the Torque Diff... and the LSd...
So, scratch that, let's try that again...
1:17.804...
So, a few things.
First of all, it's an improvement over the previous tune.
Second, it still appears to be slower than a slightly modified stock set up, online. Might not be true offline, I haven't tested it.
But the main thing that sticks out, is the LSD/Torque settings, made practically no difference, which means all the issues I'm experiencing are suspension/alignment related.

Those experiences are a lack of entry and exit, as well as the inability to maintain strong corner speeds. The latter of which is more notable on the big corner after the straight. But entry and exit are lacking throughout the course, giving it an understeer feel.
I tried some quick experiments. 1 of which, was your torque, LSD, and ride height, with the Mod Stock setup. It got better, but still not as quick. I felt that for such a light and low powered car, your camber and toe settings are a bit extreme.
I'm thinking the low ride height may be the cause of the issue, but just in case, I'm going to revert everything back to my set up, with the exception of ride height.
Doing so, and I'm still in the upper 17's. So that may be part of the issue here at Trial Mountain, which has it's fair share of elevation and bumps.
But that's all the laps I'm running for tonight.

Thanks. Maybe I just don't have that touch for tuning =P But I think I'll reowkr it again tonight or next week.
 
I think it's cool that you started a tuning shop out of sheer enthusiasm and ignoring the above that your tunes aren't perfect yet I really want to try out some of your tunes

BUT...

to help your thread get some attention, I'd suggest tuning cars that no-one has tuned before (wow that sounded cool in my head). But seriously If I have a car that I want a tune for, I go RKM if there's no tune there -> LDP and after that -> Gt5-tuning.com which means finding if someone has done a tune for it at all. So by tuning cars that need tuning you might get some attention. The California was a good step btw.

And for the rest try to tune cars that handle like crap to handle slightly better , that is what most people look for in tunes and then if you're better at that, try to make them faster too :)

Also if you really get the hang of it, give us some all out over the top horsepower tunes, lot's of tuners restrict the BHP of their cars to 300/400/500 and that is the sane thing to do but come on... We all want 800BHP lotus esprit's and 850 BHP V-spec Gt-R's

oh and I will give you a review of one of your tunes soon, I'm just not that consistent with laptimes so I'll just tell you how the car feels to me :D

cheers,
 
As I was saying, who's ever tuned a 275 HP PINK Fiat 500 before? I'm going too later this week XD

I got the idea for this car by looking at some threads in the forum, people maxing out Civics, Oddyseys etc., combined with the fact that I saw a pink Fiat 500 IRL a few days ago. How the person owning that could show himself in public, I know not. But anyways:

This thing handles like a charm. Has a tiny-tiny-tiny bit of understeer, but personally that's how I like my cars =P And, I'm not gonna hide it, this thing is slow on high speed tracks. High Speed Ring, only positive thing on that lap was that the brakes were unnecessary =P Deep Forest, it's only a slight bit slower than the Cizeta V16T.But really, use this online whenever you can, people will lol at how awesome it is xD
