Same hereI always just set mine slightly lower, I have no idea why though lol.
Darn you Forcone, I had gotten an a low .800 just bearly faster then your time but it was dirty
I'll have about 1 hour after work tomorrow to make one more qualifying run...that's it.
Just found out the wonders that is Manual W/Clutch. Dropped my time to 1:34.373
Thats the only thing I need to get used to. Its hard with a pad though. I have the clutch set to the left bumper so when I have to break and downshift at the same time I tend to lock up the brakes. I should be able to get it down with some practice though.Keep at that, you'll get even faster when you perfect the shifting, don't forget to blip the throttle when you downshift to keep the revs up
I set my LSD Accel to about 0-5% so that way I can pretty much just floor it all the time without worrying about breaking lose. Then worked on getting the car to turn in. Since my car is 49/51 weight I was able to keep my spring rates pretty much exactly even, and just pretty much messed with camber and toe. Dunno if this will even help to be honest, but it seemed to work for me.Whoa that is fast, back to the drawing board it is then! 👍
edit: Damn, your build is either miles faster than mine, or then that lap is simply flawless! Either way, amazing time! I have no idea what to do next to go faster
edit2: Just synced the Mustang, please try it and tell me what is wrong with it, I can't seem to figure it out
. The lap is pretty much as perfect as I can get it though, minus the second turn.
You might wanna think twice about giving Forcone advice on how to go faster. You might end up regretting it. I'm just sayin'. Sorry Forcone.Thats the only thing I need to get used to.

Its the clutch that actually helped me even get that time. Before I switched over I was bearly able to achieve 1:34.7xx. I think I can get into the 33's
Edit: Also, I find that the area I can make up the most time is the turn before the first straight, and the turn before the second straight. If I nail them just right, I can literally fly so fast through them, but if I make the slightest mistake I will end up sliding and losing like half a second lol.
Especially after he said he couldnt beat my time. I was shocked haha, actually gave me a sense of accomplishment.
I dont mind helping
I spent about 100 laps last night on two or three different tunes and found a good balance between speed and grip.
I'm loving how much faster all my cars are with the clutch, although it will take some time to get used to on tracks like Fujimi. On Road Atlanta though, I was literally flying by my old ghost on the straights.. it made it feel as if i had like 50 more hp.
That is a very fast time. I probably won't catch you. I forgot this is really your first season racing with us, so you don't know Forcone's tricks. He almost always congratulates you on your time and says he can't go any faster....then at the last minute he puts up an impossible time to take the pole. He's done it to us so many times that we don't fall for it anymore.

I thought the clutch was automatic??
Yaaaaayyy over 1000 post
Phew, hours of work finally paid off, as I think I've found a good build, 275 overall!
I havnt changed my tune yet, but I have dropped by car by about 200 pounds while keeping the same horsepower. Was able to drop my time in the 2nd lap so I think once I get used to this setup and start tuning it I should hopefully be able to get in the mid 33's.
Yeah I saw your time before I stopped hotlapping. Nice 👍 To bad I cant see your ghost, so i can try to follow you
To many laps for me today though, I've been hotlapping since 9 am pst lol. I seemed to have nailed the turn before the first straight, but the other one I'm still getting some problems with. If I push to hard I end up bouncing on the curb and sliding, if I go to soft my ghost out-accelerates me by alot.
I think I have 53% front now as I ditched the heavy Shelby engine for the old stock Ford engine
I just quit too... Too many laps and you gradually become slower and slower, at least I do. I may still have something to gain in the S-corner after the first corner if I attack it super hard. 99% of the time I just end up in the grass...
I may try something a bit more powerful tomorrow if I can spare the time. At least this current setup is super easy to drive and I can stand on the throttle all the time! 457hp/1031kg or something like that are my current specs
edit: And remind me to reattach my CHROME BUMPER to the rear, I need some more weight there!
Maybe I can squeeze in a few laps after work tomorrow, but I doubt it. I'll never catch Forcone's time anyway....may get close to Loaded, but not sure.
I got about .200 from Forcones lap but man I always mess up the 2nd turn
I usually run 5 to 10 lap sessions....I'll take a break if I'm not making progress. I usually do better after I take a break to settle down and rest my eyes. If I can't make progress after 25 or 30 total laps with my best tune, I call it quits. I've probably run 20 laps total so far.
