Thanks very much for the tune.I have a setup which works for fastest lap 1:17.443 with a good driver, and 1:19 with a bad driver. Yes, it will get you gold, easily. I focused on the ease of use, though, using real life rallying setup secrets... And as an added bonus, it works on all rally cars.
Suspension:
Ride height: 115/115
Spring rates: untouched/untouched (4.88/4.16)
Dampers: 2/2, 2/2
Anti-roll: 1/1 (rally drivers remove anti-roll bars)
Camber: 0/0
Toe: 0/0
Brakes: 5/5
Transmission: auto-set 220 km/h
LSD: 5/30/10, 5/30/10
Torque split: 50/50
Basically, the idea is to get the weight to shift as quickly as possible, and as much as possible, which provides for stable cornering, regardless of any bumps etc. You can basically full-throttle the car around every corner except the sharp hairpins. Lifting off of the gas before turn-in is quite a quick way to change directions.
I had given up on LCC event so I came here. Used Whoosiergirl's tune and what a difference it makes, improved by 1.5s or more within 30 min session At first I thought those 1.0 toe-ins are crazy but it does work, the car seems to maintain speed when sliding.
I cannot emphasise enough this is all about slip angle, SLIP ANGLE, SLIP ANGLE! Too much of it the car loses speed, not enough it wont make the corner.
This event is rather fun when intentionally sliding the car actually rewards you, not penalises you
edit: I noticed top 3 guys and few others are using Evo VII 01 but interestingly they all recorded their best times on Feb 24th. Is this just a new discovery or something changed on that day and made this car competitive all of a sudden?
Its a bit late now but I'll post my settings anyway. Its mostly @WhoosierGirl 's tune, modified by @iliasdc , and then slightly adjusted by me.

final gear info is missing, can you please edit?
I honestly can't understand your problem, I did it easily with a standard Evo VIII RS '03, took it out of the dealers put some snow tyres on and had loads of fun, golded it very quickly .... the key is powersliding it round the bends, turn in early with the power on and almost drag the bonnet against the inside barrier. You can go a lot faster than you may thinkAll I know is this is going to be the most expensive paint chip in history if I do get gold. I've bought tons of parts for almost every Mitsubishi to try out the tunes people have posted and I can't even get bronze on this one. I'm doing almost perfect laps but the time is really high. Obviously I'm missing something. The cars all seem to come to a dead stop if they slide even a little on a turn but I'm not sure how to keep the cars from doing that. Got gold in all other time trials (except the Hudson one) but I think I should give up on this one before I smash my wheel into 1000 pieces.
