i noticed from the last 150K challenge that no one listed the oil change as an upgrade. at $250, it's the cheapest and best upgrade there is But, that is $250 that i didn't see anyone list. so am i to assume that this upgrade doesn't count? or did no one get the oil change? 250 isn't alot of credits, but it can often stop you from buying that one thing that you need. shtuta dillish?

just looked at the thread again. some of you did list the oil change. still my question stands, does the oilchange count towars the 150K? or is it a freebee?

 

[Angel O'Death]

wow. i forgot how much i hate this track! well, i don't hate it. It is a nice track, quite curvy and keeps a good pace. But i've ever had much practice on it. Only times i have raced on the track was when i had to. And this is the FIRST time i have done any free runs on the course, wut a *****! The memories of the TT are all coming back to me anyway, heres my first entry. i'll improve it by a second or 2 with a few more laps and maybe a different setup.

1'22.318
300ZX 2seater TwinTurbo
494HP@6500RPM
$149,250 (including oilchange)

 

[Angel O'Death]

ok here's my next entry. It's the same Tuscan i used for the string challenge. The more i drive apricot, the more i HATE IT! ahh! I did a really awesome lap with the tuscan, and i have been trying to beat it for the past 2 hours! I got so mad i exited the run&settings to go wash the car for better airflow, and i forgot to save the best lap! NOOOOO!!! :gnasher: the best i have managed without that ghost is 1'19.131. blech. i am SO pissed. i needed that ghost!! it's still the 1st place lap for me, is there no way i can get that lap replay?

1'18.993
Tuscan Speed 6

Well you took your time to make this thread, LoudMusic. I'm in. I except that again I should buy some car and tune it, but the total expenses (car + mods) cannot exceed 150 000, correct? If this is correct, shouldn't we also list what parts we bought? I expect so and that's what I'll do.

 

[LoudMusic]

The oil change is part of the tota 150,000. Some people have listed their individual expenses, but I like to go on the honor system. You may wish to keep track of your number, though, incase someone else would like to try out your car setup.

Car+Parts+oil <= 150,000 CR

Rock on! It's cool to see people jumping in.

~LoudMusic

 

[Zero]

Table feature looks nice, I'll be back in a few with my time.

 

[LoudMusic]

Man, I couldn't even match my previous time. This is a good course, but it makes for difficult competition.

I still think the Lotus Elise Sport should be able to clean up in these competitions, but for some reason I just can't get the time.

~LoudMusic

 

[Angel O'Death]

isn't that lil thing expensive? if its around 50K it should kick ass. i'll have a go with it....
i thought about the MR2, but i see you did that one. i see i'm gonna haveta grab somthin i would normally never drive. uh oh. 😈

[LoudMusic]

Updated

Well I made a few more runs at it myself, but couldn't best my time so I decided I was done. I need someone in person to compete with inorder to improve any more. I quickly jumped back in the ole F094/S and made a few runs. I have a new competition in mind already, and I'll probably start a thread for it tonight or this week sometime.

[Angel O'Death]

hmmm...damn viper isn't so hot on this track.

1'21.838
Viper GTS

 

[LoudMusic]

I think your Speed 6 time is going to stand for a while to come. That's pretty hardcore dude. I couldn't break 1:22 with the beast. Maybe I should go back and rethink my 150,000 on that machine and get a little better traction and not so much power.

~LoudMusic

 

[Talentless]

Loud, you mispelled Angel as Agnel a few times, I fixed it. Good luck to the competitors.

 

[LoudMusic]

Yeah well, nobody is perfect (:

~LoudMusic

 

[ed99]

I'll give this a go soon, have a few nice ideas, not saying anything yet though! 😈

Ok, how in the world did you get the Speed 6 doing that kind of lap time? I can't get it under 1:22, let alone break into the 1:18s.

[JoniK]

I just tried the Honda :honda: S2000 Type-V. With tuning I spent a total of 145,800 Cr. I thought I could beat my lancer time with it, since I always thought S2000 was a better car. Unfortunately, the car was suffering quite much oversteer, and I was a little disappointed in the car.

Best lap: 1'18.126

 

[Angel O'Death]

Tuscan Speed 6

T8 Tires
Sport Brakes
Sport Suspension
Semi-Racing Muffler
NA Tune 1
Chip
Carbon Shaft
Oil Change

for the setup...
Front: 6
Rear: 5
Camber: F - 2.0 R - 1.0 (sometimes i use 1.3, can't remember which i used for the 1'18.xxx)
TCS & ASM OFF

i think that was all...i'll check again later.

oh yea, for the viper i tried to get a good balance of power/handling. But that didn't work to well, so i went for a bit more power then i had the 1st time and it was good. about 40% handling and 60% power. I didn't bother with the triple clutch and flywheel. for the viper it was a waste of money, didn't have enough power to take advantage of them. and i didn't get a tranny either. i'll see if i can remember wut i bought, cause id idn't write it down and i can't save any of these cars (i am STILL in the middle of the final 10 races of the game). I should finish off that F1 championship and be 100% already, but it's just so boring those F1's messed up the game!
