Sorry. I haven't been home to accept it:(. And I most likely will not be home till Sunday :(:(.... but I'll have my daughter log on and accept your friendship after she gets home from school 👍
 
Would anyone like to volunteer as a tester for mine and Rob's MR2s? Anyone who has decent driving experience. 👍
 
I've put my Miata on share for all. I'm sure I have all testers on my friend's list, those that I don't can feel free to send me a request.
 
Cool. If anyone has a copy of SVX's EG Civic, please notify me.

I still have one on share. It is 2HP short of the original but that's only minute and will account for maybe .250 secs on a good lap. It is Identical in every way.

You sure it's on share?

Last time I've checked, it wasn't there.

EDIT: And it still is.

I'm just going to buy one.

I'll put it back on. I swore I left it on. I'm sending another one that isn't missing the 2 hp to my primary. I'll have them both on here shortly.

Edit:The 93(193hp) is on share. The 91 needs to be broke in as apparently I forgot to break it in.

Well, it's back to business, I guess. Can't wait to see the results. I'm anxious to see how my little roadster faired against the rest of the pack.

MatMed123 – Toyota MR2 Spyder (6MT) ‘02

- Great Rotation
- Good Acceleration
- Great Grip
- Good Transmission

Cons:

My Score: 99/100

---------------------------------------------------------------

Rotary Junkie – Acura RSX ‘04

- Good Grip
- Great brakes

My Score: 100/100

---------------------------------------------------------------

Krenkme – Toyota Celica 2000GT-Four (ST165) ‘86
Sector Time: 1:00.964
My impressions: It my on be the only 4wd in T200 but drivability is spot on with this car. It may not be the fastest car out there but it feels great. The only this i really picked up on was minor understeer, But that could be down to the normal 4wd thing with understeer..
Pros:
- Good Acceleration
- Great Grip
- Good Speed
- Good Rotation

Cons:
- Minor Understeer
My Score: 99/100

---------------------------------------------------------------

Onboy123– Toyota MR2 Spyder (6MT) ‘02
Sector Time: 0:59.134
My impressions: Onboy’s Little MR2 is very fast in a straight line with it’s super close ratio transmission, But i felt that its 6th gear was a bit to short as i was finding myself redlining on the main straight. Rotation is good but i felt the car was loose on corner entry and stiff from mid-exit.
Pros:
- Good Rotation
- Great Acceleration
- Great transmission

Cons:
- Understeer from Mid-Turn
- Loose on corner entry
- 6th gear to short
My Score: 96/100

---------------------------------------------------------------

RobRabbitMan – Toyota MR-S S Edition ‘99
Sector Time: 0:58.923
My impressions: Rob’s ’99 MR-S felt great from the off with good rotation, Transmission & acceleration, but it felt a little stiff mid-turn like my old MR-S tune was. When it came to the flying laps i noticed it would oversteer when pushed hard in the turns...
Pros:
- Good Rotation
- Good Transmission
- Great Acceleration

Cons:
- Little Stiff Mid-Turn
- Oversteer if pushed hard
My Score: 98/100

---------------------------------------------------------------

TakumiFuji01 – Suzuki Swift Sport ‘05
Sector Time: 1:01.244
My impressions: I know that this is one of Tak’s Replica tunes and overall driving feel is great. LSD has been tuned well as has the suspension as this thing handles like its on Slick tyres..
But i felt the car is way underpowered and it struggled on the uphill sections of the track. I would like to see what could of come from this car if it was at 200BHP
Pros:
- Great LSD
- Great rotation
- Handles like it’s on Slicks!!

Cons:
- Underpowered
- Sluggish Acceleration on Uphill sectons
My Score: 95/100

---------------------------------------------------------------

JC18137 – Scion FR-S ‘12
Sector Time: 0:58.240
My impressions: This FR-S feels great tune wise, It handles really well and sticks to every turn like it should. However the transmission maybe good but it lack any excitement in making the car feel fast unlike the other cars in T200 (Not that i’m being harsh), But his might just be down to it being a new car with little power performance modifications...
Pros:
- Good Grip
- Good Rotation
- Good Suspension Tune

Cons:
- Lacks Excitement in acceleration
My Score: 99/100

---------------------------------------------------------------

SolidSnake7735 – Mazda Eunos Roadster (NA Special Package) ‘89
Sector Time: 0:58.414
My impressions: The little Miata is simply amazing... It just keeps on griping like no other car this season in T200. Transmission, Rotation, Suspension & LSD are all good. Couldn’t find a thing i didn’t like about this car...
Pros:
- Nice Transmission
- Good LSD
- Good Rotation
- Good Suspension

Cons:
- None
My Score: 100/100

---------------------------------------------------------------

CG3284 – Suzuki Cappuccino (EA21R) ‘95
Sector Time: 0:59.977
My impressions: I enjoyed driving this little Kei car, the grip, rotation and everything else was good. I felt it was a little underpowered for the uphill sections but it made up for this in the turns... Great little car
Pros:
- Good Suspension
- Good acceleration
- Good Rotation
- Good LSD

Cons:
- Unpowered for uphill sections
My Score: 99/100

---------------------------------------------------------------

SVX – Honda Civic SiR-II (EG) ‘91
Sector Time: 1:00364
My impressions: After driving Snakes EG last season i felt i had to compare this EG to that, And after running 3 laps i think they are very alike... I sense this EG has been tuned around its transmission as there is no wheel spin what so ever and it rotates how you what it to. I did notice some minor understeer in some of the turns... Possible T200 S2 EG VS This EG Side Battle???
Pros:
- Great LSD
- Good Rotation
- Good Transmission

Cons:
- Minor understeer
My Score: 99/100

---------------------------------------------------------------

fbccars924 – Toyota MR-S S Edition ‘99
Sector Time: 0:58.693
My impressions: This MR-S felt nice to drive, Rotation, Speed & acceleration where all good and it didn’t felt too stiff in the turns, However it did have some oversteer on the exit of some of the tighter turns...
Pros:
- Good acceleration
- Good rotation
- Good Straight line Speed

Cons:
- Minor oversteer on turn exit
My Score: 99/100
 
99!! Wooo! :lol:

Here are my results:


Results:

FWD Class:

----------

Rotary Junkie

Acura RSX Type-S '04

Sector 2 Time: 34.048

This thing is incredible! You don't realize this is a front-wheel drive car, since the handling is just amazing! It rotates just right and it feels just like a touring car! The power delivery is incredible! You'd forget that this car only has 200 horsepower, since it feels like 300! The transmission and brakes seem to be doing their job greatly too. Braking is not a problem, and the transmission has been assembled in a nice order. This is just amazing!

Pros:
- Touring Car Feel
- Excellent Power Delivery
- Excellent Handling
- Excellent Brakes
- Excellent Transmission
- Excellent Stability
- Excellent Response
- Balanced

Cons:
- None

100/100

----------

TakumiFuji01

Suzuki Swift '05

Time: 36.579

The car has a very underpowered feel to it... And to be honest, quite boring often times. I wouldn't recommend this car for this particular course, really. I know this car can manage 200 horsepower. It just makes me wonder why it was chosen to be at 123 horsepower... Now, onto the handling. Yes, the rotation is great, and the car has no problems taking corners, whatsoever, and it feels nice... But that's because it's ridiculously underpowered! If this car were tuned to 190 horsepower or more, I'd be much more satisfied.

Pros:
- Great Rotation
- Great Response
- Good Brakes

Cons:
- Ridiculously Underpowered

Score: 90/100

----------

SVX

Honda Civic SIR-II (EG) '91

Time: 34.681

This is quite impressive, really. I've driven a few EGs back then, and this is undoubtedly one of the best I've driven so far. The chassis really holds the car down now, and the suspension seems to do its job really well. The LSD is good, and the wheel slip is much less than you'd usually expect from an EG. The handling tends to suffer a bit of understeer in some corners, but the rotation is just right. Overall, a great handling car.

Pros:
- Balanced
- Excellent Stability
- Good Acceleration
- Great Handling
- Excellent Response
- Excellent Brakes

Cons:
- Suffers from a bit of Understeer

Score: 98/100

----------

RWD Class:

----------

Hei

Scion FR-S '12

Time: 34.018

Overall, the car is very enjoyable and easy to drive. You remain in complete control and the car obeys every single movement you make. It's not the best in the straights, but it surely makes up for it in the corners. The car is nicely balanced and very stable at the same time.

Pros:
- Excellent Handling
- Excellent Response
- Excellent Brakes
- Excellent Stability
- Nicely Balanced
- Remains in-control

Cons:
- Not the fastest in the straights

Score: 99/100

----------

SolidSnake7735

Mazda Eunos Roadster (NA Special Package) ‘89

Time: 34.849

The car has a nice feel and has a nice balance. No signs of oversteer, and very little understeer. It's nimble and light. It's another great car for beginners. There are some small problems though. The car feels quite stiff. I feel satisfied with the rest of the settings. The stiffness is the only thing that bothers me.

Pros:
- Balanced
- Excellent Response
- Great Handling
- Great Brakes
- Great Transmission
- Good Acceleration

Cons:
- Stiffness

Score: 98/100

----------

787bcgr

Suzuki Cappuccino (EA21R) '95

Time: 35.506

Just like the Suzuki Swift from earlier, the numbers on this car aren't too high when it comes to horsepower either. However, despite the low amount of power, don't forget this car is a lightweight K-Car!

Now, I was never really a fan of K-Cars, but after driving this, I've developed some likings to it. The car is really fast for its class! What really makes this car fun is that it's very simple to drive with the ABS removed. It doesn't take much braking force to slow it down. Simply tap the brakes and turn it! This car is really nimble when taking corners and when you're bored, simply turn in harder, and give it a drift! The car feels nicely balanced, however, the rear gets thrown out once in a while, but in a good way, actually.

Pros:
- Very nimble and light
- Easy to drive with ABS off
- Great handling
- Excellent balance
- Great for much tighter tracks (Autumn Ring, Kart Space)
- Excellent Brakes

Cons:
- Uphill

krenkme

Toyota Celica 2000GT-FOUR (ST165) '86

Time: 35.228

The only All-Wheel Drive car in its class. This car succeeds in providing excellent grip, and great amount of control and stability. Overall, the handling is excellent thanks to the AWD system. Now, I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like the car somewhat lacks thrill. It just feels... neutral, to be honest. That doesn't change the fact that the handling is superb though.

Pros:
- Excellent Handling
- Good Balance
- Excellent Response
- Excellent Stability
- Excellent Brakes

Cons:
- Feels... average?

Score: 96/100

Mid/Rear Engine Class:

----------

Onboy123

Toyota MR2 Spyder '02

Time: 33.807

Seeing that this car lacks a wing, unlike the rest of the MR cars in this round, I felt pretty cautious about experiencing oversteer. As I got on track, not once has the car swung it's rear out wide! I was actually pretty surprised back there. And to be honest, I actually feel a lot more confident in this car, then I was in Rob's car. It's jam-packed with everything exciting you could ever want! Well... that, and the fact that it feels loose during entry and has a short transmission

Pros:
- Excellent Stability
- Balanced
- Excellent Brakes
- Excellent Handling
- Agile
- Excellent Acceleration
- Excellent Response

Cons:
- Feels Loose
- Transmission too short

Score: 98/100

----------

Mat123

Toyota MR2 Spyder (6MT) '02

Time: 34.009

It's my car. It's perfect. :lol:

Pros:
- Balanced
- Excellent Stability
- Excellent Handling
- Great Acceleration
- Excellent Brakes
- Excellent Response
- Easy to drive

Cons:

Score: Ask a senior citizen for a random number, and there's your score.

----------

fbccars924

Toyota MR-S S Edition '99

Time: 33.913

While this car may have nice handling capabilities when well-tuned, I noticed that I'm often faced by mild corner entry to mid-corner push, and some rather unpredictable oversteer from mid-corner to exit. I'm not really bothered by the rest of the parts, since it's already nicely put together. I just think the suspension and LSD could use some improvement. I'm often getting some outside wheelspin. The handling characteristics of this car somewhat annoy me, since the car can't seem to make up it's mind whether it chooses to understeer or oversteer, also snaps back when I try to correct the oversteer. It does feel nice once you get used to it, however.

Pros:
- Balanced
- Good Stability
- Great Acceleration
- Great Brakes

Cons:
- Handling Characteristics (As explained above)

Score: 97/100

----------

robrabbitman

Toyota MR-S S Edition ‘99

Time: 33.650

If I were to compare this to mine, I actually have a lot more to watch out for when driving this car. Compared to mine, this car feels e
very quick and built for the experienced racer, while mine was built for a slightly lower class of drivers. The handling is very smooth, but I tend to experience a bit of oversteer quite rarely though. Apart from a bit of oversteer, I'm pretty happy with the rest of the car.

Pros:
- Excellent Stability
- Balanced
- Excellent Brakes
- Excellent Acceleration
- Excellent Rotation
- Excellent Response

Cons:
- Oversteer on Exit

Score: 98/100
