I heard CSLACR mention something about how adding a 10mile long extension cord and a power converter box didn't really count as tuning!
Well screw him then! I'll take my Trollsight and take my leave then.
Actually that raises a point. What's stopping anyone from entering a car with zero actual tuning and just a load of bolt-on parts? Might have to try that in a future shootout... 💡
I'm not saying my car isn't actually set up, but what actually counts as tuning?

Throwing parts on the car is tuning. Oil change , altering the BB and PL is not.

So if I used the fixed suspension kit, close-ratio gearbox and just didn't bother with the LSD, I could enter that into a shootout? Doesn't that kind of defeat the point of a tuning contest though?
I don't even know where I'm going with this by the way. I just don't have anything to say about my car so I'm talking about the first thing that popped into my head.

Oh, right.
I'm entering obviously.

The only requirement I'm going with is the classic, "all cars must be fully broken in" rule. So as long as it's got 200 miles, it's good to go.
I am aware there's a few bugged cars in the game that do weird things going to 99.9% power limiter, but I just don't think it's a huge deal, just possible gems hidden amongst the ranks.
Awesome.

If you're missing, or not listed properly, let me know.
Check PSN id, tuner/tester, etc.

Yes you can.
It appears I'm not on the tuners list. Did I miss a post saying I'm disqualified for wanting to use a hybrid car or did I just get missed out?

Awesome.I believe the fact that someone else could simply add those parts, do some tuning and presumably crush you?Well screw him then! I'll take my Trollsight and take my leave then.

Thanks for clarifying. Not that it matters now seeing that the car I picked was not the Skyline. And all the cars I did buy were used so I'm already there with break-in.
I think I need to get the car a bit more loose again in turns. With the setup it has all traces of oversteer are gone but it feels awfully numb on turn-in as a result.

I've got a few contenders on share. Shame the Pug isn't quite quick enough.
Oh and before I forget, CSLACR, I might have found something of yours yesterday. When trying to save the settings for my Focus ST170, I was informed I already had a ST170 page. There's every chance that they're the settings from an unsubmitted entry of yours for the FWD Shootout last year. I'll slap them on a car later, if it drives well, then I'll assume they belong to you

Back from the dead?!?!?
You can save settings?
Aaaaah, yeah, you can if you're a sad sack like me. I have a spreadsheet thing that I keep build info in. Naturally I have a seperate sheet for each car. Does any of the below sound familiar..?? I have the rest if it does...
RH == 5 / -35
SR == 13.8 / 6.8
EXT == 10 / 5
COMP == 8 / 4

Sounds in the ballpark, definitely. Nice find.👍

@Cy and CSLACR I'm a bit confused on the origins of the tune in question. Cy said it was from my FF shootout last spring but wasn't CSLACR strictly a test driver for that event?

You forget, old one. CSLACR also, after testing, set about trying to tune a FF as a plaything to keep himself entertained. I even remember him asking us to test it. I chickened out cuz my life insurance wasn't renewed yet.

Unless you have an extremely high mileage one it has to high a PP. Even a high mileage one may be borderline at best...
doh, for some reason i assumed it was just under 400pp.
thanks for the reality check.

I believe the ones I have in my garage (under 10k miles) are sitting at 405 - 406PP with no oil change/engine rebuild...tantalizingly close but don't feel like wasting the next few days running them in the hopes they might be competitive if I could just get them to 400PP.
I do have a 230 Kompressor with no oil change/engine rebuild that is currently at 399PP and seems to be a contender but again I'm not sure I want to spend the time and effort to continue running it until the PP stops droping on every lap or two of the ring.
@Onboy yeah I did forget about that...

Just FYI guys, mileage doesn't take effect until a run is complete.
So if you enter a car that's dropping mileage, when testers take it out, it'll have that power until the end the session.
of course if the tester exits and re-enters the track a lot, you could lose a bit of power, but I doubt 1-4 HP is going to decide the shootout, so, yeah. Just something to think about.

Have you driven this one yet? I've tried hard to make it fast on SS tires at 450pp and it's a hunk of junk. Major understeer, poor weight distribution, and with only a 5 speed tranny, pretty slow in a straight line too. I'd love to see someone produce a fast tune for it but I've never seen it be a competitive car.

He was and as the Boy says, it was just something CSL put together at the time. It wasn't a submission. I asked him about it recently, because I remember it being a bit good, but he'd lost it in a corrupt game save, or something similar.
Not that I remembered doing it, but fortunately for him, I wrote it down. Long story short, the car is back with it's rightful owner... 👍
