I'm here to establish among the better tuners my own little virtual shop known as EVOLV Tunes. I used to tune when I opened Triomph en Tune for GT4- I only did a couple of specialty tunes and it wore out with GT5. I'm back and ready for some tuning, plus I need to learn some tips. Most of my tuning used to be guessing. Not anymore. I want to change tuning from slapping a bunch of parts and flying into a meticulous but rewarding work. This spot will hold future tunes, along with my reserve posts. Happy tuning everyone. 👍

The test track is the Eiger Nordwand Short Course.

I also use a rating scale depending on the 'class' of the car. A-Class are small, sub-100hp tunes, B-Class are 200-400hp FF or FR sports cars, C Class are 500-600hp high-range sports cars, D Class is any supercar of +700hp, and Test-R are strict racing models.

Tunes
A Class
Ralliart i-Miev GT

B Class
Mazdaspeed RX-8 Concept (Type-R1)
Honda Odyssey GT
Lotus Evora GT3RS
Tesla Motors Roadster R-EV

C Class
Mazdaspeed RX-8 Concept Stage II
Ferrari F40R

D Class
Nissan GT-Rv M-Spec Eiger

Test-R
Peugeot 908 HDi FAP - Team Peugeot Total - EVOLV Version

Notes: EVOLV has taken a economy minded car and added the bit of spark normally found in a Ralliart machine. Ralliart normally offers a small sport quotient to an existing car, and EVOLV has applied that philosophy here. The little i-Miev is a perky, go-kart like drive with a cool look. A bit expensive (168K!) but in GT5, it's well worth the fun. These setting aren't of the car I like to drive, with the i-Miev, I make the supension very soft and let it roll into corners, but with speed needed here, I gave it a little boost.

Notes: with my GT Academy car already filled with most high-performance parts, and with me seriously cash-strapped, I had to get an old car out and finally get the desire to fly around a track. And it's delightful. It's got amazing traction due to the torque split, amazing power pull, although it's a bit understeer-y on the slow corners (which makes up a lot of Eiger).

I also have to give a little credit to Rotary Junkie for questioning my use of Active Steering. After that, I turned it off and drove a lap half a second faster, so there's a nice solid thing for the future. I can't give a good idea of a regular SpecV, but because I drove a tuned Black Mask before, this model irons out many of the kinks of the GT-R.

MSpec also returns to the GT-R line-up in the most hardcore, driver-focused form, and the special moniker Eiger, as it's purely designed for such a track.

shhhh...don't let them know my secrets. ;)

I've got a new Saleen S7- stay tuned.
I'll have it tomorrow because I tried experimenting with the idea of a drift trial in a SUPER GT car. Way too much time and it was a disaster.
 
Uhh...the S7's been hit with a delay. And this car is the reason why.

Notes: Just as the original was based on a Type-I concept, the Stage II is on a Type-II platform. Featuring almost 600hp compared to the measly 400 of the Type-R1, it blisters around the Eiger, but good use of Racing Soft Tyres means it hangs a lot better around the circuit. But just like the original, push the throttle in too hard, and you'll be finished.

Test Time: 1'03.201​

Also, this is a good time to tell you all something. The car before our first RX-8 Concepts was known as the RX-EVOLV, which I drew my tuning name from. When I get an RX-8 Type E, expect a model with the name of that original concept...
 
Wow, this is hard to say. I'm not planning on doing the S7. Sorry. I did do this, however...

Notes: It's first off, obvious that not many people tune minivans. There's been 3 vans (Escape F1, Avantime, Odyssey) in GT from what I remember, and not many people go out on a race track with a van. Except me, because that's how I roll. But how does the car roll? Just as you'd expect. Or not. It's quick and eager to turn in, bu the 4WD means understeer in just the tightest spots of Eiger is a problem to the van. I also wish it had a 6-speed, the 5 lacks a bit on the 400hp oomph. But it blows every conception of a minivan out of the forest. Unless you've driven the Escape F1, and I doubt that.

Notes: You may often hear comparisons of the Lotus Evora and the Porsche Cayman/Boxster, normally it says that the Evora doesn't have what it takes. Here at EVOLV, we engineered the Evora GT3RS- a car that blows the flat-6 out of the Boxster and even the Porsche 911 GT3RS. With more horsepower and comparable weight, along with a wicked racing look, it's pure beauty taken to the next level, combined with raw, naturally-aspirated power. It's ride is full of oversteer, but like a modern-day Porsche, it never slips unless pushed way too hard. Suspension was not rigged very much- it was already delicious as it is. Transmission requires you to run this car in Manual- 1st gear is a lot of power, and it'll make those racing tyres fly free. This is one of the best Lotuses of all time. Now if only we built a GT2RS-competitor Esprit...

Notes: Tested at Circuit de la Sarthe instead of the Eiger Nordwand, (because the short Eiger doesn't do the car any justice) this is my first Test-R example. Truthfully, it seems poorly executed to me, and I'm hoping that someone could test it out and report it back. For me, the car was powerful, I had to use TCS at 1 for this, and it has to be driven delicately sometimes, or the oversteer is too much, and spins. Still, a nice car with some rough edges.

Test Time: 3'18.317​

BTW, the 2 next cars are the Ferrari F40R and the Tesla Roadster R-EV.
 
Little update. To test the tuning integrity of the recent 908 HDi tune, I'm heading out for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, except my car comes without the Stage 3 Turbo. Also, I haven't gotten around to the F40R and the Tesla R-EV because I left my papers in a folder in a locker...you can see my situation.

I PROMISE those tunes will be up tomorrow. Everything is ready, except for my remembering skills. :dunce:

Anyways, is there anyone looking for a certain Premium tune? I could have it done a couple days from now.

Notes: some say tuning is an art form, sometimes you create the Mona Lisa of all cars, and sometimes you make a bit of a doodle. This F40 model lies a bit between. It's not especially fast, it's not for racing, more like a one-way twin-turbo trip to hell. Despite an understeer-biased LSD, it oversteers like the rear-biased car it is. Instead, it's a car that can drive around the local track, and then drive on back home. In wicked 80's Ferrari style, of course.

Notes: Okay, we'll get the other electric car out of our way, plus it's a easy tune because it's relatively cheap and maybe good for the environment too. It's a strong and fun car, pulling very heard compared to the amount of power it has. The turning is pretty lively and responsive, and any route on the track is fun to drive. Also, I kind of measured the 0-60 and got it in the 4sec. range, so I wonder how they get the official time for the real life model. Still, cheap fun, and looks cool. It's a breeze and a blast.

Just a suggestion and you can take it for what it's worth but if you are only going to use one track to test on Eiger would not be the one I would choose. It's rarely raced online anymore, although it was early on, and it is not like any other track with it's tightness and hills and rises where you lose traction, so tuning a car for here may not work as well anywhere else. If you're looking for one track to test on, something like Trial Mountain might be a circuit that combines a little of the off camber stuff, some rises and some flat corners and has good top end and a couple of tight spots. There are several other good one off tracks and each has their good and bad points, but for sure, Eiger would not be on the list.
 
Thanks for the suggestion Johnny about the tracks, I think now I may switch to Deep Forest because of you. I haven't been around much because I've been playing GT4 but I think I have a good idea for one this wekend. 👍
 
only using eiger makes the tunes more unique and if your going to tune a car the mazda 787b maybe? that's if you can afford it if not how about the arta garaiya it's a great car and not too expensive especialy since most of the racing mods are allready with it.
 
I really like the Evora tune. It is very stable and many of the problems I had been having with the car have been solved with this tune. I will try some of your other tunes soon.

What else do you have in the works?
 
can i make a request?

ARTA NSX Super GT, GT500.

But HP power is at 601HP, for Suzuka Track. I gave up tuning for this track. Doesn't feel like the usual NSX I drove at other tracks. Could you please tune this car for me?
I tend to spin too much.. could it be suspension setting? Many thanks!
 
I am looking for a couple of rally setups, if anyone could direct me to a thread or a website for such things that would be much appreciated.
 
May i please put that car to the test on like the nurburgring? i will do the test over spring break or on friday(Friday if i can get to my ps3). i'll post my time up on here so someone please set me a goal time for me to active and i will try my hardest.
