You know you're always welcome on The Hill, my friend, both in front of a keyboard or behind the wheel 👍Hi, guys I was wondering if I can post a tune here ? The car is the current difficult car - Ford Mustang GT '05. It's a simple tune at low PP, I thought that I can dedicate the build for this awesome garage Something to give back for some great feedback driving m replicas from @Ronald6
Take a hiatus, my friend. You've got to want to do it to enjoy it 👍
I had to step away from it for a while, so I could focus on stuff at home and to try and get my enthusiasm for the game back. It all worked out eventually...

I'm sure we can make some room around here for you, although we may have to convert one of the out-houses for youhi just wondering if your garage is looking for any tuners to join your team ? @Motor City Hami advised me to try here
I don't think I could post a thing here if I didn't have all my spreadsheets and stuff to keep my head in gear!! You're a Founding Father, my friend, so you're kinda stuck with us for life now I'm just the janitorNot gone forever, just until I feel I can post a tune in a comprehensive manner
And welcome @Ridox2JZGTE
P.S. Pics now with "Papi"
Even the rats avoid the basement these days, I don't know quite what you get up to down there..!!He can have the loft above the garage. The basement is mine! Welcome.
Sorta like the 300, but lacking the professionalism and six packsMore tuners eh? The army is getting bigger!

Thanks for taking the time to rag the Scoobies, they're enjoyable cars to throw around. The rear for both is really rather stiff, but I like it this way, you can let the springs to take the weight going into the corners and it helps drive it hard out. They do have their limits though and when they let go, it's usually quite spectacular!!I've been doing a bit of mucking about in these; both stable and nicely driveable on the Nordschleife - you can be fairly aggressive but watch out for the loose back end. As usual grip, grip and grip are the main advantages, especially out of the corner. I think I preferred the '05 - around 7:42 offline, though I haven't beaten my own Evoque time yet .
@CyKosis1973 @NEWDRIVER2 - looks like I was a bit late to the party the other night! Ended up doing a couple of Johnny-no-mates practise laps in my Honda 1300. I should get more time in about 3 months when my dining room renovation project is completed , hopefully you chaps will be (semi) regular again.
Cy, are you doing a serious tune for the Mini Marcos? I'd be interested to see that - it's highly likely to be better than my various tunes (they tend to suck online).

Good to see you took Hami's advice and found a new home. Good luck 👍well heres another tune for you guys. a maxed out Honda Civic Sir-II (EG) '91. I recently created a tune with this car for the fitt challenge, so i decided to not let it go too waste and tune it for time trial on my favourite track. The tune was created on sports medium but works fantastically all the way up too racing softs. hope you enjoy.

Good to see you took Hami's advice and found a new home. Good luck 👍
@CyKosis1973 nice of you to let the new guy in, now let's just hope he does not come out ahead of us in the latest FITT Challenge
I kinda figured that the more people we had in the shop, the less work I'd have to do As long as we can stick it to the RWD boys, I'll be happy, but if it looks like Randy is going to do better than us, I'll let a little air out of his tyresGood to see you took Hami's advice and found a new home. Good luck 👍

You'll do just fine, my friend, take advantage of the testing to see what other people are doing with their cars. Besides reading all the info that the community has put together, testing for a shootout is probably one of the best ways to learn about the game mechanics 👍lol theres no chance of that happening haha maybe in the future once im more experienced. and thank you very much @Bowtie-muscle
He can have the loft above the garage. The basement is mine! Welcome.
Yeah, sorry about the other night. We're trying to get the house straight for visitors over the next coupla weekends and it was my turn to cook!! The Marcos was an experimental build, but I'll gladly spend a little more time on it if it's going to get some love and you're happy that it'll be as slow as an asthmatic snail 👍
Sorry my friend we was late and we should went offline but someone came and want to challenge our tunes on the Ring life he choose My Night Rider to race against it using his 86 but end up by 23sec late .
Looking to race with you again usually I'm online now Sunday and Monday night you are more than welcome to join us 👍
I imagine the Marcos is a hoot against the AI, I'll persevere with the car. I think mine was on the heavy side, probably about a 52/48 split. You can drive Brands Hatch (80's variant) pretty much flat out with only lifting on the throttle or kissing the brakes. It's a lot of fun. Bloodredsky joined us for a while in one of the old Mazda Cosmos, it wasn't fair contest, but I enjoyed reeling him in in the corners, even if he did blast away on the straight bits.@CyKosis1973 I love the Mini Marcos. You may or may not have seen my incessant ramblings in other threads about it , but I have used it for everything it can enter in the A-Spec career mode - up to IB (I think) - and it has 'Most Victories' in my stats at around 28. I started to use the Spitfire when it became underpowered .
I've made a couple of variations - one with a 50:50 weight distribution and fairly loose back end and one with 60:40. The first potentially gives better entry speeds but the second affords more exit grip; both have a lot of ballast to allow a more competitive power output, but obviously you are still slow compared to bigger cars of the same pp. By the way, you won't be able to fit in a body bag, so you'll have to use more conventional means .
While both variations have served me well and been fun offline, they are poor online - too much understeer or oversteer. Which is why I'm interested in seeing one from a 'proper' tuner 👍.
hi guys just wondering if anyone could help me out a bit here, im currently in the process of tuning the "bmw 2002 turbo". the tune its self is ok but the problem i have is when turning a corner the back end tends to kick out. is there a way of controlling this, like any adjustments ie camber toe arb.
any help is greatly appreciated.
This sounds like the generic problem with older RWD cars in GT. Is it mid to late corner?
I'm no expert tuner by the way, but I like to use old cars and I've found the trait in all of them. I've haven't found a good solution yet!
I've found chassis reinforcement helps, it may be PDs attempt at accounting for chassis flex? Firming up lateral weight transfer can reduce the tendency too. It drives me mad .
That BMW is a right pain. As @Woodski_427 says, it suffers from 'skinny' tyre syndrome. A lot of the older cars have period wheels and tyres, because PD won't let us do anything other than increase rim sizelol this is basically my first fr tune, i will add the reinforcement to see how it goes, hopefully it doesnt ruin it haha. thanks for the advice bro
i will give one of them a go,it really is a shame thoughas the 2002 is a beautiful car...That BMW is a right pain. As @Woodski_427 says, it suffers from 'skinny' tyre syndrome. A lot of the older cars have period wheels and tyres, because PD won't let us do anything other than increase rim size
If you want a slightly easier introduction to RWD, then I'd go with an MX5, S2000, BMW Z4 or one of the Nissan 350 or 370 Z cars, they're much more compliant than most 👍 All of which is a bit of a shame, because I really like the 2002, that's not to say that there aren't good tunes out there for it, but I suspect they all suffer a bit from unexpected tail slip...
