That's very similar to how my drive went in the @krenkme Viper. I think he has it in for me and my controller!

Sounds like its going to get a good score from me

You`re gonna love it! Just keep it straight for a few laps and get a half decent time for me then you can go crazy!

Ok, I'm done nail biting, I'm just going to throw you the keys and bid you good luck. If anyone wants to take this for a ride, I'm keen to know what you think. If you're signed up to test for this challenge, please wait until the appropriate deadline, likewise, if you're not signed up as a tester, please don't post any spoiler times for SSR5 or Twin Rings. Please wait until the tester deadline, thank you.

If you hear any muffled sounds from the boot, just turn the stereo up

Upload of pic of MR2 completed.
Side note i found one of the pictures of my first and last new car. rather what was left of it after a dim wit pulling 1000 lbs of hotshot piping in a blizzard going to fast hit us.

For the record everyone including the driver of the pickup walked away.

Praise God! Looks ugly. Reminds me of when I was in a 30 car pile up in a white-out......luckily no one was hurt then either.

 

[DolHaus]

It'll polish out

Praise God! Looks ugly. Reminds me of when I was in a 30 car pile up in a white-out......luckily no one was hurt then either.

It was, I was 3/4 way down a hill stopped behind said semi and cars lined up next to us due a spinout in front of us and I saw the truck come over the hill in my rear view, so we knew it was coming and nothing we do except wait for them to hit us. The hwy was closed for 5 hours cleaning up the wreak.
My wrx only had 3600 miles on it too thankfully had gap insurence on it.

Now to get the kid to sleep and get back to work on my road racer.

Sorry @Otaliema but I couldn't get your numbers to match. Are you missing something with the power parts or did I miss something?

I am getting the same results, I think a racing exaust is missing in the tuning sheet, by adding that all the numbers add up.

Sorry about that typed it late at night macdog is correct it needs the racing exhaust

 

[ImToLegitToQuit]

So i'm sure my civic will be off pace but it's easy to drive and compared to everyone else I had abnormally good times in my rx-7 so i'm hoping the testers do as well as I did !

[Tom Knight]

I'm keen to do some testing for the road racers if possible! Cheers!

 

[Tom Knight]

Sorry for asking a silly question, but is the idea to go buy the car specified, then tune it as per specs, then post lap times? Cheers!

 

[macdog54]

Yep that's the idea Tom , just be aware that some tuners may use different wheel sizes or rigidity improvement , also your thoughts on how the car handled, and a rating of 1 to 10 ,I wouldn't post lap times untill after the testing date starts.
Have fun.

I've added you to the list 👍

There is a list of tuners with tunes for the particular cars, as a tester it is your job to build the car exactly as specified by each tuner and then give them an equal amount of laps around the designated tracks in order to set a best lap time.

Please give each cars best time individually as well as a Drivers Choice score (0-10 how much you liked the tune), a little feedback would be appreciated but is not mandatory.

These lap times/drivers choice scores will be added up to find out which car was the fastest and which were the most fun at the end of the challenge

Please test at in arcade time trial mode with grip set to real
(Important) When buying the cars do not do an oil change or an engine rebuild as these are banned in FITT contests. You might need to buy two of each car because Body Rigidity Improvement is fitted to some peoples cars and this option cannot be removed once fitted. I will try and divide the entries into sections so its easier to see things such as Rim Size/Aero/Body Rigidity Improvement before you start.

Best of luck

Just be aware Tom in the track settings where you change the grip to real , you will have to go back there every time you test as it reverts back to low when you exit.

 

[Tom Knight]

Ok, next silly question, where do I find the settings to set the grip to real?
Was just explained in previous post. Thanks!

 

[Otaliema]

@DolHaus @Lionheart2113 @macdog54 I edited the tune to add the two missing parts the racing exhaust and the improved body ridigity, I'm so used to not installing it that I simg forgot to include it in the tune sorry.

 

[CyKosis1973]

Grip reduction setting can be found in the 'Track Settings' menu once you've loaded up your desired track. It should be right next to 'Car Settings', along the bottom of the screen. Once you've got the menu up, scroll to the bottom and you'll find the setting 'Grip Reduction on Wet Track/Track Edge'. By default it is set to Low, you need to set it to Real 👍

Annoyingly, you'll have to do this every time, because it resets to Low once you exit the track...

And this is my RX7:

[Otaliema]

Doesn't look like the 86. Is going to get any love this time around... It's a great drift car but fast it is not.

Maybe my 86 it will be the only one here and maybe you will like it . And good to have many cars on challenge not all MR2 .

 

[Otaliema]

Agreed, I liked the 86 I just couldn't get it as fast as the other cars, I could get it really stable and great to drive but fast was never part of the equation for me, I look forward to testing yours, im sure it will get high dc marks .

 

[NEWDRIVER2]

Is it 1:19.xxx a good time on Egier by the 86 ? That what I could get out from it . That's why I said it's not fast but you will enjoy driving it specially in the 5th corner smooth and drivable with little drift to control and point it where you want .

 

[Bowtie-muscle]

This is my MR2 for this challenge:
- MR2 1600 G '86

Gino - Stock Gearbox? Factory or did you upgrade?
Just double checking as you were able to add a FIXED 5 or 6 speed.
