Please, someone, anyone, help. I so far dome 4x 10 races on GVE and have ONCE got a 1:07.973, but then I struggle to get past at least a 1:08.8xxpriesty_lfc
I don't know whether I'm a naff or the cars naff, but I was struggling to kingdom come before that, couldn't get out of the 1:09's, so I popped driving line on (oh god) and abs 1 and slapped an RKM tune on it - finally I got below that damn 1:08 barrier...
Please could someone get the C30, tune it to the regs and tell me what the car can do. I would be eternally grateful
Also, after each race, when I was just below 500pp before hand, I magically become above 500pp. I now have the ECU set to 94.x% but my car is losing bhp after each race!!! Not sure whether it's a widespread problem though, but if I join the practice session in the race, by the time the race starts I'll be way above 500pp -.-

ps3dan101I have a c30 with the RKM tune i can run it in the 1:07's usually
ah. so I suck :/ what do you have that rear spring rate as? it looks like a 2, but I deemed this unlikely so set it as 12...
EDIT: Actually, I take that back, changed the rear springs back from 12, and did 3 consecutive 1:07.7's
I'm now a happy bunny

I have a C30 set up to use the RKM tune, its @ 354bhp, 1186kgs and posts 500PP
I have added all the parts but use the default turbo to meet the regs, I just ran some laps and posted the below so its not a great deal faster than what your doing
1:07.644
1:07.575
1:07.536
your bhp is increasing after each race because the engine is running in, instead of using the engine to decrease the PP try changing the air filter or some other parts and it doesn't seem to effect as much as using the restricter.
EDIT:
That was on medium tires, if your posting 1:07 on hards then thats pretty fast

My C30 has the wing but my car for the championship doesn't (at this point), I havent put on on there as it looks better without it however im not sure if it will actually help on some tracks?
What kind of increase does it have on PP?

random fact: just had a play about with my civic setup round GVE, did 3 consecutive laps with times within .014s (1:06.212, 1:06.202, 1:06.216)
nice and consistent methinks

pretty good running there!
i'm yet to break into the 1:06's (my best so far is 1:07.012) but i'm actually only running stock settings at the moment. I need to get full suspension/transmission/camber/lsd settings ready for a race set up but haven't had time yet. Once thats done i'm hoping I find at least another 0.5 or better so I can run low 1:06's

Oh God, maybe I should paint my C30 a bright orangey red with White wheels - that way I would be a mobile chicane
But even so, that's consistent running that! I did 10 laps on Nurb GPD, pretty consistent, but pretty pedestrian...
Haha, no need for that mate, you're all gonna have to watch out for a big green barge creeping round the track! Haha. The only thing I seem to be consistant at is being off the pace by a second! Lol.

Anyone got a good set up for the ford focus rs 02 . Struggling to get down to the 1.07's need to find a good set up

Don't worry to much about speed on GVE. You have to be a lunatic to do the faster times, which in a race is not good, tires will die lol.
Plus races never go to plan, you will get hit, you will be inconvenienced, more than likly many times, even if you aren't the one at fault. You will more than likely have to pit more than once due to damage.
Qualifying lap times are only half the story. Heck, a quarter of it even.
When we have PSN back up, I will buy all faster cars, and buy a car that isn't top notch.
Will then do my up most best to get the slower car as fast as I can, then downgrade the faster cars to match. E.G. Civic Type R '08 , possibly the EP Civic, Integra Type R definitely. Maybe Ford focus, but that will only be slight.
355bhp is slightly high for BTCC so we cant UP the power on the slower cars so bringing the power down a touch for the faster ones is the way to go.
A Integra will probably be nice with running 485pp
Civic '08 running 490pp
Civic EP & Focus running 495pp
Just a few ideas to even out the pack.

Apologies, bad choice of phrasing. I haven't varied the set up, I just drive a bit slower!

It's probably more important in the fwd cars to have different setups.
I'm still learning about doing setup work, I never really bothered with it in previous GT's. I'm using my knowledge from RC car racing, and hoping it relates to the game!

Haha, I've never been that serious about setups, it's usually just lower it and stiffen everything up. The setup I'm using on my 330i is based on a less extreme drift setup! Can't say it's the quickest setup ever, but it suits my driving style.

No need to insult people, man.
I finally beat my best online time offline (i hope you understand this). lol
Best time 1:04.886.
Really dificult to make that better. I'm only shaving a couple of hundreds of a second. Now i just need to learn how to tune the damn LSD. 
PS: The Integra really needs to be capped somehow.
I did around 20 laps in the 135i and the best i achive was a low 06 if i remember.
