Oookay, who is up for another tuner challenge?

[Rotary Junkie]

Yep and non turbo top speed matches his result...

>.<

Although, I only got 212hp without oil change... Meh.

 

[mafia_boy]

That's without, mine has oil change added.

*added bit* Just looked in TCv4 list. OH 🤬 !!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 DAMMIT!! Forgot to put oil change in!! F:censored:

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Meh, edit it. Leo already edited his past the deadline >_>

 

[VTiRoj]

Also:

Honda Civic Type-R (EP) '04
Comfort: 19
Cornering Attack: 18
Cornering Prowess: 21
Power to Capability: 20

Eh? Where's perceived improvement? And why is Power To Capability greater than the 15 maximum?

My Civic is so capable, it doesnt need no maximum.

 

[Vince247]

See, your civic is so capable, it doesn't even need to be in the top three.

 

[Skygrasper550]

After months of testing and tuning, my EK9's still not enough?? damn..,

 

[mafia_boy]

It's actually worse than a 'factory' spec Megane turbo, even with my messed up 1/4 mile times.

I told you all I would be laughing at the ones I beat who were all out race cars!!

*added bit* After retesting the Megane AT GVS, I know that Nuro's way off with my settings. I was hitting consistent 2.18's just then on laptime. The top speed on the straight itself was 213-214km/h!!

 

[Paulie]

I told you all I would be laughing at the ones I beat who were all out race cars!!

Then I guess I should laugh at you who used one of the most revered hot hatches in the world and got beaten by a lowly Tigra.

The CLIO is one of the most revered hot hatches in the world!! NOT THE MEGANE!! And mine is a FACTORY SPEC MEGANE AT THAT!! It may be slower than the other two (about 1.5 seconds slower) but it doesn't have weight reduction, wings or anything else to assist it's handling, unlike your all out race Tigra.

So in saying that, you sir are a clear on this issue, and should stick to your B&S bushbashing utes and stay out of this one.

*added bit* Another thing that's funny Paulie, your Tigra picture has an intercooler, but it's NA.

Oh no no, the Megane's not revered at all

Your choice not to use the best upgrades is your own misguided approach that's making you lose. Maybe you should sit on the sideline and watch Mafs, you're out of your depth here apparently.

Wow, just wow, the picture has an intercooler, do I care? It's not my photo shop.

Edit: And to add to it all, points are awarded for setup, not car.

Edit 2: And please do not call assume I'm some bushbashing red neck, I find that quite offensive.

 

[mafia_boy]

WTF?? Do you just read every 3rd post I make Paulie? I'll tell you again since it's a case of one more time for the dummy.

The Hilux AND Megane are FACTORY SPECIALS! READ IT AGAIN........F-A-C-T-O-R-Y!! THEY WERE DESIGNED WITH NO DOWNFORCE OR WEIGHT REDUCTION, TO MIRROR THE PROPER SPECS OF THE MEGANE SPORT AND TRD HILUX, THEY ARE NOT ALL OUT RACE CARS!!

I said from the outset that they weren't the cream of my crop and I ALSO SAID THAT I NEVER EXPECTED TO WIN, they were just factory versions to see how they would fare against your all out race cars. Guess what, it's done quite well because it's not in last place at the moment.

And you putting up the R26R was a laugh considering that's a special limited edition hi-po version of the Megane Sport which is the factory special I was aiming for. If it was MY version of the R26R, you would be expecting another 50hp, 150kg less, a BBC and 30/30 DF then.

*Joking time* Actually I read about every 10th post since this is the only thread I read that you post in pretty much. I know they're factory specials, but surely you could save them for another day? If you weren't expecting to win then why are you getting so fired up with the judging? The R26.R shows that the Megane is highly capable and revered, in answer to you.

 

[mafia_boy]

By Renault, yes.
By the general motoring world, no.

Look at most of the car reviews, people look at the Clio more than the Megane when it comes to a hot hatch. 👍 The Megane was lucky it got turboed at all otherwise it would be nothing but an afterthought to the motoring world, apart from that ugly butt it's got!!

In response to the saving them for another day.........I could've but then I would be dwelling on them rather than other cars.

 

[Rotary Junkie]

If you weren't expecting to win then why are you getting so fired up with the judging?

Because his car was not given a fair run?

Losing out on 50bhp surely hurt it in just about all aspects.

 

[mafia_boy]

It's cool RJ. I'm saving that Tigra time, building my own R26R and absolutely smashing that time out of the ballpark!!

 

[shoman]

I'm sorry I fell a spot race comeing together, with these two guy's

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Too bad Paulie quit GT4...

 

[mafia_boy]

It's okay, I'm giving him all this time till I get a PS3 as a headstart for GT5.

 

[Paulie]

It's cool RJ. I'm saving that Tigra time, building my own R26R and absolutely smashing that time out of the ballpark!!

You do that, I know my Tigra is slow as hell. It just handled really well, and I knew that would play well with judge's scores, and it did.

As for GT5, bring it on.

 

[mafia_boy]

So you know your car is slow as hell yet you rip my car which has only 5hp more, less than 20Nm more and more than 300kg more than your car?? Good work.

 

[Paulie]

Look, if you don't have anything smart to say don't say anything at all.
This has nothing to do with the speed of the cars, but rather how judges are ranking them. You said you'd be laughing at those all out race cars you beat, and I said I was laughing at you for being beaten by a Tigra in judge's results.

 

[mafia_boy]

Look, if you don't have anything smart to say don't say anything at all.

Coming from someone who's been banned once already for saying something that WASN'T SMART. That's gold there Paulie. Or do I need to link it and remind the others around here of that??

And if you read RJ's comment PROPERLY, you'll see that Nuro tested my car with a measly 161hp, not the 163Kw/222hp it's supposed to be tested with so it will affect the cars scoring and rankings in ALL AREAS. ESPECIALLY IN THE POWER TO CAPABILITY AND PERCEIVED IMPROVEMENT SCORES!!

Hence why my lap time is nearly 5 seconds slower than anyone else (2.22's when I'm running 2.18's) and my 1/4 mile time is 1.5seconds off what it should be. EVEN WITH THAT HINDERANCE I'm better than the IDE Megane, only 1pt. behind the R26.R megane and NOT the worst car of the lot. Honestly, if your Tigra DIDN'T beat my Megane, it would've showed your inability to tune, period.

Actually, the fact you're gloating at beating a basically stock Megane with a race spec Tigra is making me laugh more at you, not your car.

 

[Paulie]

OK fine, if I have to deal with this kind of stuff over a sony game because of sore losers then I withdraw both of my cars. I have nothing to prove, so don't need to be in this competition anyway. I certainly didn't spend time on making cars just for this either, I used tunes from a year ago.

 

[mafia_boy]

Oh my god.....seriously.........what is this, take your ball and go home time??

I'm stating my points bro. If you can't accept it then fine withdraw the cars Paulie. But this is in the spirit of competition and the heat does get turned up in the kitchen, you of all people know this from all the previous TC's we've all been in. And FFS, this is only 1 judge and we've worked out he messed my car up unintentionally. Just let RJ, EA11R and the rest put their two cents in and certify it all. Alright??

Man, this happens EVERY tuner cup.

 

[Leonidae]

Thank you both for ruining this, especially you, Mafs. You went too far. An apology would be in order, private or public.. preferably latter. in addition, I do not recall drama from previous ones.. if there's any drama here, it's due your boasting and derogatory comments towards others that have created it.

It's OK Leo, we're Australians, can't keep us in a room together and not expect some dispute to arise after a while unless we both like the same cars.

I apologise for being nd 4 holden spd there for a few posts, that's why I've withdrawn, to end any debate between us. Takes a man to walk away.

 

[mafia_boy]

Never happened before Leo?? What about the VTC? We all had a gripe at eachother for various reasons, even I got a light spray off Greycap and RJ for my judging back then.

As for the derogatory comments......oh my god, I called Paulie a dunce. I questioned if Nuro drives like Miss Daisy. If that is seriously offending you Leo, call the police and charge me now!!

Paulie and I are having one of our usual Aussie 'fiery' debates, he ribbed my Megane (helping d24/7 because I was ribbing him ) and I've responded in usual fashion. We had our little debate. That's it, done/dusted/over with. He's still my bro and that's it, don't know why you're withdrawing Paulie, but don't dude.

I honestly don't know why you're all huffy though Leo.........once again, MFT has shown the way with your FTO, nice effort from you.

 

[Leonidae]

Whatever it is, you two having little squabble might ruin the experience for others. you two might enjoy of it, but the rest of us might not have such perverted method of amusement as you australians. it must be the kangaroos, or being upside down all the time.. And thanks for the comment about the FTO. I knew that it's quite a machine both in experienced and not so experienced hands. Although, RJ seems to have issues with it. Too much power for inexperienced, I think.

 

[mafia_boy]

RJ & FF's don't mix Leo, you should know that by now.

I'm very curious to see how yours, Paulies and his RSX go against eachother in EA11R's hands. With roj and Shoman making up the other slots, the Top 5 seems light years ahead of the rest. I'm just hoping I'm the best of the rest.

*added bit* Leo, you need to come down here for a Holiday. We'll do it dudeson's style.

 

[Leonidae]

good point.. I still remember his arab drift Honda.. what a terrible car. but it DID arab drift.. I could almost see the virgins in front of me
