GTP_WRS (GT5) Week 56 : MR2 the Max

[Lou8ball]

Got some time to try and beat my pb's, threw away another 54.3x in sector 3, but then managed to improve. (albeit by a few thousandths lol)

T1 24.368
T2 30.060

Great t1 jack, I can't get anywhere near the .2's

 

[btcanon]

Latest splits...lots of work, little gains. I may be getting close to my limit with this one.

24.670
30.425

What am I saying...I far surpassed my limit many days ago, this is unreal.

 

[Racer_LP]

first and probably only splits:

24.238
30.059

Edit: done with this setup, based on Kevin's tune on the first page

RH -18/-9
Springs 14.1/15.0
Damp Ext 4/6
Camp Comp 4/6
ARB 7/3
Camber 2.0/1.0
Toe 0.03/-0.01

LSD 14/25/10

Brakes 4/5

Same gears, only changed suspension setup, brakes and LSD
It works great for me, maybe some of you like is aswell

 

[munch2112]

Wow!

Haven't had any time at all this week to even turn the PS3 on!!

Hopefully I'll get a chance to run a few laps on Sunday!

 

[Lou8ball]

Sorry to keep spamming the page, but finally managed a quick t1 and t2, with an ok final sector.

T1 24.294
T2 30.047

Really at my limit now, had a few 29.95x through t2, but just pure luck if I can go any faster before the deadline.
Great splits racer-lp.

 

[DDiamond]

I'm going to have to bow out this week and not submit after getting a couple of hours in. My wife got sick and passed the bug to me, and I just don't have the physical nor mental heartiness to try give it more, although I do like the combo. Right now it is Nyquill and Thermaflu time. Good luck to all.

 

[CB750Kguy]

Sorry to hear that DD.

Latest splits:

24.468
30.756

I know there is a lot more time in the sectors but I can't seem to string together a good lap.

Still this is great fun.

 

[ConRollins]

First stab at it. Ok, maybe it's the 1000th but I'm sure it's the first clean lap!

24.876
30.504

24.861
30.434

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Feel better Dan 👍

Lou and Jack not sure I can hook three sectors together to be able to catch you. Will give it a try though

 

[Allibubba99]

Very small improvement on my splits but .5 faster at the line.

Al

25.072
30.782

Updated and most likely final splits.

24.807
30.498

 

[Tuesdaymops]

t1: 24.542
t2: 30.633

 

[Carlos Fandango]

Another quick 30 minutes and another interesting session. Managed to improve my split to T2 by 0.18 but only realized 0.035 at the line Still, I've lost positions by much less than that and I reckon it's going to be tight for the D2 podium so I'll keep plugging away. Such is the pace now that I've started to throw away any T1 split over 24.4 so this lap only just squeaked in, but I'm glad it did. PB in T2... Excel says I can find 0.32 on a perfect lap...but that's not going to be easy.

24.399
29.977

Racing on

 

[GTPorsche]

I know I could easily improve my laptime if my gas pedal wasn't bugged. I think I've figured out the problem though. Any time I shift my foot on it, it begins to act up, so I'm thinking the potentiometer is loose. Which happens to be the exact same issue I had on my previous pedals that was affecting the brakes. I could easily open the base up and fix it but I'm not sure if I should even though I've had these pedals of over a year and the warranty is up on them. I'd rather just have new pedals.

That being said, I don't think I'll get a quicker lap time unless it's by some miracle and will most likely submit with the splits that are currently on the board.

Edit: I put the pedals directly on the carpeted floor and they work with no issue, but I can't use my stand and have the pedals off the the side of it.

Thanks, you too. Will be very close at the line 👍

Great T2, Carlos 👍

 

[btcanon]

Alright, it's Sunday and I have other commitments, and quite frankly don't think I could find any more time on this no matter how hard I tried. Just ran the fastest lap yet. Going to submit with this one.

24.486
30.626

 

[RDAardvark]

Tiny improvement, still using Edk's initial tune

24.543
30.418

 

[sanmusa]

Pardon for me being such a newb, but the instructions don't mention yes or no to full custom suspension or LSD, but I see setups using both, that means they are allowed, correct? By that chain of thought are racing flywheels and clutches also authorized?

These are my T1 and T2 splits so far, with the allowed mods, including suspension and LSD, no clutch or flywheel mod:

27.416
33.372

I am using EDK's setup for the MR2, but I am finding the car understeers too much and LSD is weak. I'm in the process of doing my own tune and will post tune and splits later.

 

[GTPorsche]

You can put everything but turbo/supercharger on the car.

 

[munch2112]

Everybody is really fast this week!!! What have you all been eating/drinking!!!!!!

Just gave this 30 minutes and couldn't get anywhere... will try again later but for now there is rugby and football to be watched!!!

 

[GTPorsche]

I just noticed that. Currently 1-30 on the leaderboard is separated by less than 2 seconds.

My 2 hour run got me a bunch of laps that would have been faster, but I always came out of the last tunnel slower for reasons I've already hit heavily.

Like Porsche said.

Did you just submit your qualifying?
I don't see you in the registry yet.

 

[sanmusa]

That's what I thought. New splits with clutch and flywheel, plus my own tune (will publish later):

T1: 25.664
T2: 32.118

 

[sanmusa]

I don't see you in the registry yet.

Yes, about a year ago, but then I was away from my PS3 for almost a year....

I will resubmit my qualifier before the end of the day to Vaxen.

 

[Speedy6543]

If it was the qualifying for GT5P you submitted, you'll have to run the Qualifier for GT5 and re-submit to be added to the Registry.

 

[sanmusa]

No, it was GT5.

edit: I just resubmitted my qualifier

 

[jack5428]

Remember when I first posted splits this week and said I was playing my cards tight to my vest?


Read them and weep.

T1: 24.130
T2: 30.030

Had an ace up my sleeve thru T1.

 

[CSLACR]

Have fun beating that T1.

Awesome splits Jack.👍

 

[munch2112]

.....

 

[EDK]

I've added this to the first post for clarification.

Drivetrain Modifications (LSD, Clutch, Driveshaft) : All Allowed

I'm submitting now. I can beat my T2, but I have a very good T3 that's tough to beat.

 

[jack5428]

Have fun beating that T1.

Awesome splits Jack.👍

Thanks Dom I have you to thank for part of it and your damper advice you gave in Ramons tuning guide thread. I already did something similar, your thoughts helped me some to see another pattern to it.

The icing on the cake was increasing both my springs up 1.0. Jus makes the car a little faster I always feel. Sometimes it works, this time it did when nothing else would make my tune better or quicker.

@All D2s dont look at the splitsboard and get discouraged I never have run a perfect lap and I didnt that lap either it looks like a did a D1G or D1S time. I didnt.

That laps not lower than either Louis or LP I would bet money on it.
