@Lionheart2113 Excellent reviewing sir! 👍 The cheque`s in the post! ;) Seriously tho... I was worried i`d overtuned and ruined it so i am currently over the moon!! :) I`m starting my testing for street racers this afternoon so i`ll keep in mind your consecutive laps theory. Great work! :cheers:

I`ve got me in second .068 behind praiano and bowtie .477 behind me? :confused:

I had acidently input @Ridox2JZGTE GVE time in place of yours. You where correct you are in 2nd by 0.068 seconds
with @Bowtie-muscle in third by 0.545 seconds. sorry about that.

Dangit @brian wolf , I can handle being behind @praiano63 , expect it even, but I have enough problems. Now I have another tuner to try and keep up with...........geesh!:odd::rolleyes:

*ponders*......maybe I should not have allowed him into the Hot Hatch Challenge?!?!.....hmmm.:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Push harder ;)


The results sheet is pretty much done I still need to add in the Pro spec sheet, and I'm working with a couple people to get the Fastest lap stuff working correctly. I've posted a link to it in the results post
Here is the results sheet.
Don't worry about the erros on the data sheets they are for the fastest lap stuff and they will *hopfully* be resolved here soon.

Early days mate!! I was joint first on DC and 2nd or 3rd on lap times in spec class last time, with 1 set of results to be posted...........missed out on a podium on both!!

@Otaliema No worries mate, just looking out for you. Its much easier to correct stuff when it happens than look for a mistake at the end, that could be anywhere on the sheet!

I tested your Hatch tune, fast and fun but a minor brake issue otherwise would have been even faster. You are surely climbing up the latter:cheers:.......I am either stuck or sliding down:banghead::grumpy:

I wouldn't say you were either of those, more like we have a great set of FITT tuners, including some gurus, so the competition is that close. Your tunes aren't far off from being spot on IMO, bowtie!👍

Wait 'til you test my other tune :scared:

@DolHaus thanks, I like my chicken fried!.....or parm:D

Bacon wrapped chicken sliders with homemade buns with a side of home fries :D one of the best ways to have chicken

Your not sliding or stuck, we are just climbing at the same rate ;)

I just tune a car so i can drive it fast. If someone else can drive it fast too BONUS!! If a tune is balanced then chances are they will! I dont think you`re stuck on the ladder of tuning skill, and i`ve driven your street racer.

Its in the tune directory. Go from his profile.:)

Thank you
@xande1959 got it linked in. I musta missed it someplace sorry about that. Thankfully I think I was the first to start on the Pro Spec class so I don't think there was any harm done with this err on my part.

Attention testers I've reorged the tune list to match the order I would like them to be posted as best as I could and still keep the rim split this will make things a little easier on you when doing reviews i hope thank you in advance.
Drive fast, Be honest Have fun guys!

Have been fighting a tune for the last 2 days and feel like I have lost my ability to tune and that I have simply been getting lucky. My own toughest critic and feel like I'm sliding. But on the bright side, I will be able to hang with @krenkme :dopey:
 
brian wolf
@Otaliema Your Street racer should be under +1 rims.
@Ridox2JZGTE`s street racer has chassis reinforcement.
@brave bear`s street racer is not listed (sorry noticed that one over the weekend and forgot about it!) its on the same post as his spec tune.

edit : @Bowtie-muscle The more you practice the luckier you get!

Thank you after staring at hundreds of lines of code and thousands of formulas for the last two weeks i'm a little cross eyed :lol:
 
Awesomeness The formula I got help with on the google forums works like a charm for finding the tuner and driver a couple of join formulas and I have a one cell display of the lap time, tuner and who drove it and looks and reads correclty and will update as new times are entered. Street spec sheet is done for display. :gtpflag:
Now for the other two :banghead::boggled::drool:
 
Spec Street Tuners , FINAL RESULTS


@brian wolfSubaru Impreza Sedan WRX STi Version V `98

GVS sport hard tires :1.10.162

Tsukuba comfort soft tires: 1.02.946

Very good car , well balanced, The only moment it don´t stay on the line is when releasing the brakes on corner entry. You need to compense with the wheel but it mess a bit with the perfect line to apex. I think it´s due to ARB 4/2. a 2/4 balance resolve this. Very nice drive on Tsukuba but you need some laps to understand the way it work on corner entry.

DC:

GVS =8.5

TSUK =8.5


@SDsnakebutt -IMPREZA Sedan WRX STi Version V '98

GVS sport hard tires : 1.10.097

Tsukuba comfort soft tires: 1.02.585

Perfect balance , perhaps too safe in some occasions where a better eagerness can pay . Need to be more aggressive on corner entry in my opinion, allowing a bit more rotation and a free rear end.


DC:

GVS = 9

TSUK =9




@Ridox2JZGTEImpreza Sedan WRX STI Version V '98

GVS sport hard tires : 1.11.012

Tsukuba comfort soft tires: 1.03.680

The car shows a perfect balance for a car with no front ballast. It just can´t pass as fast in the medium and high speed corners, camber even low value don´t help for the grip. Out of this it´s a very good car reacting well to all yours inputs.

DC:

GVS = 8.0

TSUK =8.5



@Bowtie-muscleImpreza Sedan WRX STi Version V '98

GVS sport hard tires : 1.10.169

Tsukuba comfort soft tires: 1.02.242

I love this car , you can print on the road all what you want the car to do, very easily In ,mid and out corner are perfect. Very easy to go fast.

On GVS the car is a bit unstable under strong braking for the first turn. The RH + low springs are making free the weight transfer and you need to be very sharp on your driving input to not loose the line and the speed.

Congrats.

GVS =9

@krenkmeImpreza Sedan WRX STi Version III '96

GVS sport hard tires :1.10.068

Tsukuba comfort soft tires: 1.02.593

Excelent car, the `96 model allow a ballast of 88kg on the rear, this is the max allowed by the shootout rurles and it give a 51/49 weight repartition. The result is a car very responsive on corner entry , you need to maintain it on the line and counter steer to don´t pass this line to not slow the speed of the car. This is a wonderfull toy like this, the only point is the out corner , the car don´t have a perfect projection , perhaps due to the front LSD value???!!! .Very good job Mr Krenkme, congratulations.

@ABPIMPREZA Sedan WRX STi Version III '96

GVS sport hard tires :1.11.231

Tsukuba comfort soft tires: 1.03.498

Most of the settings are going against the car increasing understeer. In , mid and out corner. LSD , Brake balance , springs and mostly the front ballast position -12.

The result is a car that don´t want to grab the line and it loose time all sectors. The 5 speed gearbox also is loosing acceleration out corner comparing to the 6 gears.

Sorry .

GVS =7.5

TSUK =7.0


@@DolHausImpreza Sedan WRX STi Version IV '97

GVS sport hard tires :1.10.423

Tsukuba comfort soft tires: 1.02.501

Perfect balance, perhaps too neutral on GVS , could be a good option to play with TOE and ARB ??? to induce some kind of eagerness with throttle and help some weight transfer in slow corners.

The torque 44/56 really help a lot on Tsukuba whee the car become very alive out corner with an excellent retake. Very good, I´ve enjoyed a lot my test.

@brave bearLancer Evolution IV GSR '96

GVS sport hard tires :1.12.054

Tsukuba comfort soft tires: 104.065

Very hard to maintain the car on the line. Show a constant pivot generated during any wheel or/and throttle inputs. Understeer out corner, need to take first an inside the line bearing then accelerate. The 3.0/2.0 camber just add grease under the tires . Low top speed, the 5 spaced gears only are not helping at all with the peaky power curve. Anyway, speed is a detail but the driving pleasure is not there.

Sorry for my bads comments but I can´t find anything pleasant on this car.

@suspensionEvolution GSR IV '96

GVS sport hard tires :1.10.806

Tsukuba comfort soft tires: 1.02.769

It´s an excellent car, very responsive, front wheels gives a precise driving input. Well balanced over springs and dampers…. A must. (for an evo in the game).

The only negative point is the retake out slow and medium sped corners. I´ve found very strange the front decell LSD 60, I thought it was a typo but ???!!! it wasn´t??!!

When i´ve setted this LSD to 5 , I had a gain of ½ second on tsukuba and 0.300 on GVS immediately in 2 laps.

Again excellent job. Congrats.

@DaBomm4Lancer Evo V GSR '98

GVS sport hard tires :1.10.211

Tsukuba comfort soft tires: 1.02.550

This car is on a rail, good grip, good top speed and retake, nothing take you out of your way, you can concentrate yourself to stay on the best driving line all the time.

The price to pay is a light understeed mid corner and on slow corner entry. You just have to wait the car take the good direction, whel input answer well and help a lot, then full gas with a very good acceleration to take back the lost time.

I prefer the cars with a more free rear end that answer better to throttle inputs (speaking about 4WD) but I have to say this tune is a very efficient all around tune.

Well done.

@shaunm80Lancer Evolution V GSR ‘98

GVS sport hard tires :1.10.507

Tsukuba comfort soft tires: 1.02.524

Very good drive on tsukuba, very safe car with no surprise showing a few understeer in medium speed corner but hairpins are ok and the car , playing with throttle and wheel and a little practice have a good pivot heading to a good out corner performance. The 6 gears and a very good traction are fitting well to this track.

On GVS the understeer out corner make you loose some precious time, the accel and top speed are still excellent. If you try to brake at the right place , taking a fast line till apex and perform a good early out corner, the car will show his limits been a bit lazy. The solution and also a very fun way to drive it is to perform a late braking throwing the rear over the tires. Then the car will point earlier to the right direction and the good accel will make you jump ahead. Very good car just need to be more fre in my opinion.

@BarrLancer Evo V GSR '98

GVS sport hard tires :1.11.163

Tsukuba comfort soft tires: 1.02.851

On Tsukuba the car show understeer in and mid corner, need to wait recover the right angle patiently before accelerating out corner. Out of this the car is stable and safe, too safe.
At GVS the understeer is more problematic just because you can´t do anything against it playing with weight transfer. You have to wait and wait the car to complete each turn loosing a lot of driving line and time.

Thanks for the feedback! I need the lift off oversteer cos i`m not the driver you are! 1:03.3 was my fastest in testing at Tsukuba. I struggled with the balance on entry but found i could keep the power in and the revs up for a better exit if it was loose on entry. :cheers:

Thank you Sir for the kind review, cannot tell you how much it means that you liked the tune and went fast too.
Did I not read you say you are not a fast driver somewhere? Faster than me.
