I set world records in GT4

[SkengD]

I'll get at that one today, that is a damn quick time but lets hope I can beat it without having to re-tune the car.

Shoman i will get to running the Taurus soon.

 

[tickaz]

Mind if i get in on the TAURUS train too? and whats the stipulations with it?
All out set up or do we have restrictions?

 

[SkengD]

I believe the figures are in his signature , i think its an all out setup, not 100% sure though. Tickaz damn impressive time I jus managed to get a 55.706 with about 10 tries , so far in the first sector i cut a .039 off the time but i cant keep up the pace. I will try again when i get home.

Do you think the DC5 can match these times?
N/A ofcourse !!

The only thing I have to redo is the trans and lsd setting's. It tuned for twin ring. when I set the record I didn't have the trans or the lsd tuned. Yes all out. Just remember that I can't sent video. so your going to have to take my word for it.

Well I have to check back on this cuz my DC5 (N/A) was out performing my civic but after last night's tune session the EP feel much more nimble now, even without the wing I was even shocked as I ran that time with like only 3 laps....and I did make a blunder so I know for sure I can top that time 👍 but I will post a DC5 time tonight or tomorrow morning (1AM lol) also I'll take a stab at the taurus too...must say they are damn heavy

yup the gen 3 was about 3500 pounds give or take a few:tup:

 

[SkengD]

Well i dont expect the Taurus to be in the league of these N/A monsters (EP & DC)

Just checked my Civic that set the 55.7xx , it was 330 hp which means oil needed to be changed , if that affected my time i am not too sure but we shall see.

Ok well i jus improved my time for the EP to a 55.520 and my DC5 ran a 55.669 , just to note the DC5 has the Stiffness Setting purchased. I am definetely biased towards the EP but i believe the DC5 can run a better time i just stopped running after i ran the 55.669.

I will post replays in a few minutes , now to purchase a Taurus and tune it

Skeng couldn't you just leave it at that why you had to go kill my time? Damn now i got to go back a push my car harder......55:520 impressive

Edit:

But guess what my friend, muhahahahah im not going down with out a fight

[shoman]

I'm building another sho. Lightweight sho to run against another person.


here's my time. 55'.441. And I'm not done tuning.

 

[SkengD]

Damn I'm shocked , I didn't think we could be squeezing so much time out of these cars , Shoman your 55.441 is with an EP or a DC ?

Tickaz i'm going to have to take a few runs this morning to see if i can get comparable times.

Good runs , you guys making me feel slow .

On another note , the EP does seem to be quicker , correct ? It keeps setting faster times, i mean .1xx isnt that much quicker but it still is running faster times for both of us (tickaz and me).

 

[tickaz]

The EP seems to have a slight edge in handling for me that is, i think with a little more time on the DC5 suspension i could get it as nimble as the EP i need to check the wheelbase on these car...might help me in the tuning decisions.
Skeng funny thing through out the entire run with the DC5 I'm pritty much infront of the EP, it's the last corner that seems to be giving my DC5 trouble....My DC5 is out hauling the EP on stright aways.....will record the reply of the DC5 with the EP ghost, but then i might just beat the time lol...will be going after this on the weekend till then cheer mates.....

 

[SkengD]

Interesting , I was comparing our EP replays this morning and our first two sector times are very close, ofcourse yours is better but im not even off by .100 in those first two sectors. In the third sector i guess i lose a lot of time , possibly the last corner or the 2nd to last corner where you have to drop to 2nd gear , possibly the wheelspin is killing me.

I will have to try some retuning this evening when i get home , i must say though i think we have squeezed everything out of these machines , i dont think we will see the 54.xxx unless we add a wing and even then I am not sure if the 54.xxx is possible.

What do you think ?

EP3. new time '55.224. this car has a lot more in it. I'm still not done tuning.

The Dunlap corner is where your messing up.99% of th etime that's where your going to get passed. And '54.xxx is more that right there. Just letting me finish the tune

Man you guys gonna make me drive the living day lights out of my EP , I'll be sure to hit that 54 mark on the weekend, i didn't want to but looks like im gonna have to slap that wing on (oh the shame )

I sure wish i could see your runs Shoman, see if i can pick up your strong areas and learn a thing or two

Yeh Shoman your gonna have to give us some of ur tuning tips , I'm more than willing to share, i didn't really think these times were possible. If you could borrow a camera anytime soon please post some videos for us to see your techniques.

I'm gonna make some runs in a minute and see how i can improve my times, its time to start tuning all my times before were on my old tune done months ago.

Tickaz you have any pointers?

 

[tickaz]

Well as I mentioned to you on msn I use a stagger tire on the back, R5 on the front & R4 on the back, for me it seems to give FF cars a slight over steer feel hence I am able to go hard in the corners, if you watch my replys closely you will see where I have to slightly correct the EP on some corners, along with that I run a slightly soft suspension setup, this to me gives the car slight body roll, which induces a little slide when going into the corners.....My 2 cents ( meaning just some suggestions I have to give)

 

[SkengD]

I just set a 55.194 with a DC5 with a wing, not worth saving a replay i need to run a 55.2xx without a wing if Shoman is indeed doing that I need to be doing it as well.

Having issues with the tuning, I'm going to buy a new car and start from scratch.

Bought a new EP , did a lot of tuning , the result is a 55.131 , with this setup i can squeeze a extra .100 if i really push it . I think that my biggest issue is wheelspin , managing the wheelspin when exiting corners is what is making or breaking my times.

Replay coming soon

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, just use set B or C, that is if you nuh use dem already .......

 

[SkengD]

Nah I wanted a new one , White EP with black rims.

Ok well right now I'm in the lead , the DC5 is definetely quicker than the EP3 , it has a better power to weight ratio (barely) but with comparing my two the DC is quicker on the straight , this could just be gear ratio issues.

This is the 55.131 replay , very fast sector 1 time , I think i made some mistakes between the only left hand turn and the dunlop corner, that one is still a little tricky for me.

EDIT

Funny enough I just ran the same exact time with the DC5 , a 55.131 , lol , I wonder which one of these cars will make it to 55.0xx or 54.xxx first.

Replay

[tickaz]

🤬🤬 Come on man Skeng cut it out right now and stop killing my times ...nah man just kidding continue to chop that time down thats why we keep getting better 👍 by the way did you use any of my suggestion when running that time?

 

[shoman]

No I was using a wing on my runs. I can change that and run without one. Yes I need to video. I will work on that. If you ask I will give you the set up? I will work on it some more tonight. I love dogfights like this.👍 Just showing what Shoman Performace can do with car. If you guy's what a job tuning car's with me let me know!


I have a tuning tip: Tune for the track not for time. The time will come to you after the car is full tuned. And drive slow to be fast.

I'm trying to get it on flim, but it won't replay. need help

 

[SkengD]

My time is even more impressive since i ran without wing.

Tickaz i tried your combination with the R4 or R3 tires at the back , i did not like it. My 55.131 runs were done on full R5's . Both were also done on ORIGINAL suspensions. Gear ratios are different , I try to tune the 2nd gear to eliminate wheelspin by feathering the gas and getting enough kick for the straight.

I going run them same 2 cars on the 1/4 mile and see which one has a better 400m.

A 54 is easily possible with a wing.

2nd is overrated. tune 3rd gear. That's what I do. Just a though:tup:

 

[SkengD]

Let me know how it goes for you guys today , my FF skills were surely pushed to the limit this week. I've squeezed over .500 out of these FF monsters (DC5 & EP) when i really thought they had nothing more to give.

Ill get to the Taurus Sho sometime this evening and give you a new challenge Shoman.

Yeah I here you on the limit. Not a problem man. it's been fun

I'm going to work on my sho tonight after I get off of work. I'm going to rework it. To see if I can make it faster. I have two I will be working on. 1 with full weight and 1 with weight removed. I wish you luck with the weighted one.

Skeng , Shoman both of you have made me push my car to what i thought was my limit...after loading up a winged DC5 replay i had 54:xxx and ran my EP against it I was able to bring my EP to a new level, it is now on the brink of going off the charts man...sho you say "it's been fun" well this aint over yet for it to have "been" fun i still very much in the mix, my NEW time: 55:075 (replay soon upload)

I await for my time to be broken

OH MY GOD!!!!!! in all the excitment i forgot to save my 55:075 replay, how god damn stupid can I be i still have the previous run of 55:096, i'll just up load tht untill i beat it again.... that is if i can, I think I'm going to be sick

Tickaz now it's getting fun. What does your car's have as in parts. I would like a list so we can be on the same page? I have a wing and weight taken off. Bad news for me good for you I have to work a double shift. I think all weekend. I will try to get some runs in some time. I will be running some Monday night. Keep kicking some but guy's I will play catch up

Just about every thing I could throw running on original suspension racing fly wheel ...fully adjustable LSD breaks, triple clutch etc..... you name it, it's in there....well i think my time can be beaten as there were some slight mistakes made well my right thumb is sore from all the gas and break LOL im gonna have to sit out for a lil bit so Skeng it's up to you to carry on

Were you running original suspension before ? or after i noted it last night , lol ?

I also fooled around a bith with LSD 1 and LSD 1.5 last night the 1.5 works pretty well but i ran the excellent times with the FULL RACE LSD

My Toe Angle for my Rear R5's is also set negative.

I will definetely try to beat your time Tickaz.

How far off are you from the pace Shoman? I am talking when your running without wing.
