Hey guys, was wondering if there is a way to farm this without having the last rotary menu complete. On another forum some people are saying its not working with the one that gives a rally car and the first one with the four star roulette ticket.
They have to restart the game everytime. I have them all unlocked so always used the first and last menu options.

Win the FC RX7 here at Gold. 2 Chilis difficulty should be doable.

I want to say it was this thread that someone stated depending on what car you have selected the prize outcome could be vastly different. Can confirm.

R34: $500K/Z4 motor
Supra: 21’ GT86/SR20
NA2 NSX: $1M/BYH V10
997 GT3: GR4 458/K20

The 458 raffle was wild considering the prizes were only vehicles. No money no parts nada. Just cars. I’ve also won countless Ultra High RPM Turbos and coilovers. Also have both Porsche engines. No carbon driveshafts or stage 4 weight reduction as of yet.

What car were you in when you won the turbos??

Ah man. The Nismo'd Lancia... nothing comes close.

Literally dump the lump and you're good to go. Anything else you add just makes it even better... so controllable and pliant unmodified. Brakes and some suspension just makes it a dream. Doesn't really need a tune.

I love the Lancia….overnight I just received the stage 5 turbo for the Nismo engine… can’t wait to drop it in😁

Braking distance is too long (( At start straight of Nurburgring I need begin braking from 305 km/h at ~200 meters marker before 1st turn.
Same problem for many other cars with swapped engines. Max aero, light weight don't help ((

It's even better with S parts... Ultra turbo and titanium conrods bring it to 1042 HP!
 
One downside to this whole menu glitch thing - I have 7 BRX drift car engines, and only one car to put them in...

Yes, I noticed this but I'd rather have this issue than an uncontrollable car that's too wild to use.

The Lancia handles so good without any tuning in my hands and I'm just a decent player - with some brakes and basic suspension mods it becomes even better. Add the transmission and adjust to hit 200MPH and its a pocket rocket that can put it down and hang in the corners.

I mean I was able to start matching my best RX-787 times within a couple of laps of using the Lancia

What I noticed with the Integrale/Nismo swap is the extra weight of the engine over the front. Trail braking wasn’t really working. But I think with a few changes it could become more willing to rotate a touch under braking.

Right now I’ve just been using it for the quarter mile. I have another, so I might leave the original one set up for going in a straight line, and do a proper track build on the other - aggressive camber, toe, and so on, and try to somehow tune out that nose-heavy feel.

Get the brake balance adjuster so you can get the braking just right. 👍
 
I've been having a blast with the Samba Bus. With stock Porka engine and a sport silencer, 268bhp, brakes kit and fully manual transmission, I'm hitting nearly 140mph down Le Sarthe. With a few adjustments to the ride height, natural frequency making the springs softer. It became easier to drive. Still has the twitch problem of wanting to tail and spin off. But with some 28kg of front position weight, you can alleviate some of the lift off oversteer. Only tried it on sports suspension so far.

you can add 150-200 kg rear ballast to get 51:49 weight balance (as i remember)
similar ballast makes RX7 with 787B motor faster acceleration

Their weight balance often wildly changes after engine swap. Perhaps you'll need to put some ballast to restore the balance ...

EDIT: Damn my memory was off. It was as unbalanced as original!

Oh, really. Didn't know that. Thanks a lot. Script would be easier but we can't have everything, right.

Google "PMC Macro Creator" - it's an input recorder that can play back commands like Auto Hot Key, but without having to manually write the script.

You could set it up to completely close GT7 instead of drawing the engine ticket, but it's quicker to just get the engine. Engines can be 'deleted' if you are fussed about having so many, but I'd keep them incase something interesting comes along in the future. For example the 2JZ goes in 4 cars, but at launch it only went in 1.
 
Not sure if it's been posted already, the Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type A (FD) '02 can have both the 13B-REW-RX-7 and the R26B-787B engines fitted in it.
 
Now people have more engines than they have cars, is anyone finding anything new, or is the list in the OP looking like that's about it?

I've got two of the Ford engine at the moment and I can only use it one car!

I too would like to know the answer to this. If people can find 6 different cars for the LS7-BRZ engine I would greatly appreciate it!
