Lol @ the comment on poor connections here

I will see what I can conjur up then, although I would probably be more interested in going privateer if I do sign up to this..... will see what I can do first, and go from there......

More importantly right now, I'm looking forward to Sunday a day full of petrol head goodness on ITV4 - pure win!

 

[D-Max]

ohhh yeah.. can never beat 3 rounds of smashing.. i wish plato rolled every race!

 

[GTWelsh]

330i is TeaBagging Motorsports Car of Choice !

Not trying to go off the topic of this thread, but that was incredible!! To be fair to his team, they did a great job of getting the car ready for the final race too. Plato had a storming race then aswel.

For me though, the Vectra's were my favourite (what can I say, I have Vauxhalls in my blood ) but Andrew Jordan and James Nash had a brilliant weekend overall!

 

[D-Max]

yeah james nash had a good weekend!.. and considering they didnt get platos car back until after the following support race they done an epic job. windscreen duck taped on haha

 

[GTWelsh]

Its the most slightly off topic thing you could of said, its a GT5 BTCC thread, I'm sure you can talk about the real BTCC xD xD

 

[cally-dave]

I just wanted to tread carefully with it lol, so as not to offend anybody, it's easily done on this site!

It is going to be a very interesting season, especially with the NGTC, and the Non turbo's all competing..... although if there is a hot summer then that should affect the turbo's and give the N/A boys some bit fo a chance.....

Anyway, off to go see what I can come up with with regards the cars left to play with..... talk later guys

 

[D-Max]

yeah the turbo boys might lack there.. plato proved his dirty style helps keep them back though

 

[GTWelsh]

Alright mate.. Yeah some guys on here are real wonnabe moderators. Use the search !! , hate that.

They bump the thread with "use the search we dont wonna hear this again"

Don't BUMP the thread then :@

PM him/her instead !!

Most cars so fa i've cracked the 1:04.9/1:05.1 mark

If you can make the 135i lap that quick, I want to know your setup! I'm about 1 second off that!

 

[priesty_lfc]

I got a warning for a bump

Anyway, gonna try some of these button configs tonight so if I can get some more speed from my ride

 

[D-Max]

its all about the line.. diff & suspension... iff you like a loose end then you want about 12 for torque and set the suspension hard

i prefer no loss of traction so 5 torque and looser suspension .. works a treat

Wait a minute there...

LSD tips??
I need those.
So in my FF car if I want less wheel spin and more oversteer what can I do??

 

[D-Max]

you WANT oversteer?

 

[KamyKaze1098]

you WANT oversteer?

Yes I DO.

I like my cars to oversteer a lot. And this being a FF car its more easy to control, so I WANT more. lol
I'm still feeling some wheel spin on the outside wheel, so I probably should focus on that. I probably should search the Tuning forum a LOT.

 

[GTWelsh]

You could have too much toe-out on the front

outside wheel spin .. yeah think that's right.

EDIT: Confused myself now xD I had a one wheel going red problem once on the 207, changing toe fixed it and improved cornering a lot.

Which toe it is idk, and it may not even be toe at all xD

But my thing was outside wheel I think, and I changed from toe-out (-) to toe in (+) and it fixed it.

 

[D-Max]

you tell me what you think you should do and ill give you tips.. learning process

 

[smalldave]

The Focus is very slow on 500PP on GVE in Practce mode and thats coming from me lol.. at best i done a 1:05.673.. Most cars so fa i've cracked the 1:04.9/1:05.1 mark

What did you do with the C30? :/

 

[KamyKaze1098]

One question...

Wich side is toe in and wich is toe out??

Like a negative value is -->>_________
and a positive is -->>________

 

[GTWelsh]

re read my post

Got an Easter egg and some orange squash, that will do Jimmy xD

So I'm back yeah

 

[D-Max]

the diagram explains this for yor above the numbers

 

[D-Max]

What did you do with the C30? :/

i said most cars lol.. still tuning the c30
we're using the 330i which ive hardly touched LOL

 

[GTWelsh]

Will be interesting for me, I'm not going to get the car until the PSN comes back up xD

Because I will ask for dupe off Jimmeh

 

[D-Max]

oh will you now?

 

[GTWelsh]

Yes D-Max, will you kindly ask Jimmy for me if he will stretch his kindness that far for me xD

 

[smalldave]

i said most cars lol.. still tuning the c30

ah well worth a shot I can't get it to turn in! and it feels puny on the power front :/

 

[D-Max]

Yes D-Max, will you kindly ask Jimmy for me if he will stretch his kindness that far for me xD

he said no....

ah well worth a shot I can't get it to turn in! and it feels puny on the power front :/

which turbo are using? mid gives more torque but on gve you are always in the high range.. also try a spoiler and some negative front TOE .. maybe also some front & rear camber

 

[D-Max]

BMW 330i is good for 1:05.7xx on a race pace.. Qualifying setup i havent tried but will be close to the very low 1:05

 

[si_berian_tiger]

Do you just adjust the initial torque setting or play with the accel and braking too?

 

[D-Max]

i work with all 3 settings but torque is for those starting out.. its all about noticing the diference and you start changing it bit by it i suppose
