I save all the joking for my tuning. I could have gotten it under 20:50.000 though, I just didn't feel like babysitting the throttle down the hill when I could get some more drifting in on the black Elise.

Yep but my "rubber band" would be one my little girls hair ties

Used a wheel. My leg still hurts.

I feel for Ya. If I used my wheel I would pull the peddles closer so I could just rest my foot on the gas.

I was about to use one of the gf's hair ties but I found the rubber band in time.

Time for my bi-monthly participation in the car of the month thread In my defense, I fully planned on tuning last month, but then Cities: Skylines came out and the tranny glitch happened.

Dunno about the first part but I understand the second part. It's still present but you can work around it.

You don't have to be that old to have seen the original.

 

[Bowtie-muscle]

It is after all a Disney Classic is it not. But I do feel old thinking about it, now only if there was a Benji car, then I would certainly feel old. @TurnLeft likely had a Mutt named Benji

So, since i've been away for a while, a little review for CoTM:

Mazda Autozam AZ-1 '92 (400pp SH) by @DolHaus


​

Tested:

Beginner Level NRC 400PP Motegi Seasonal Winner! 👍

A relative easy win, a nice surprise (and one not so good) and a "bug" that won't go away...

Car Review:

• Cornering Capability - A lot! The little bugger has an incredible weight transfer, which allows an outrageous rotation... Maybe too much rotation, noticed that it helped on the fast cornering but on slow it caused some unwanted oversteer. That kind of "steals" a bit of the car essence, the fast cornering!
• Understeer or Oversteer - Regarding understeer, never noticed to be appearing even while driving to the limit. It keeps nice and tidy threw the corners and almost no braking is needed... The oversteer appeared when I took the cornering to the limit!
• Braking: Can't say much of it, almost never used it!! Seriously, when need it was there, effective and steady. Very well balanced...
• Top speed and acceleration - Limited to the bug transmission! However the stock tranny (the one I used) got the job done, so on Motegi fitted nicely, on the longest straight reached the max rev on the right time.
• Transmission - and ... Cannot review the tuner values...
• Suspension - On the spot, nice and stiff enough to cause no bounce. Dealt with the "excessive" rotation quite nicely...

Overall:

Really enjoyed the car, a cornering machine at 400PP. Maybe a little change on the ballast/weight and you can leave the brakes at home!

Great tune Mr. D! 👍


NOTE: Regarding @shaunm80 several tunes, I have reviewed some of it, gonna try to find on Shaun Garage...

I did try and hunt down some of your previous reviews.. I have to admit, I didn't have enough time to hunt through 200+ pages. I see now why you had a shaky face.
