*starts playing Initial D 4th Stage intro music*

I wonder what the connection could be... Cant wait to see what those 3 end up like. 👍

Nice place you got here too. :tup:

*starts playing Initial D 4th Stage ending music*

PS: If you are going for the Initial D theme, perhaps the black FD you currently have could be Kyoko's FD?

LOL finally, someone noticed!! yes i admit, most of TTL's cars will be based on Initial D.., and you even had hidden text in your post, wonderful
although Kyoko's FD is a Type R, not a Spirit A.., same goes for Keisuke..,

*edit: i suggest you play insert songs instead, like Express Love and Pamela.., 👍

Heh, suprised no one else has noticed. Yes hidden text, like ninja text! *insert ninja smiley that invisionfree forums usually have* True about the FDs, ah well. I thought 4th Stage music suited more since thats when the AE86 got the CF bonnet and Bunta got the Impreza.

Spoon Integra Review (All reviews I do are at GVS)
I may forget some things so this might be short and sweet. Turn-in was improved and was pretty good, and your gearing was working well to subdue wheelspin and make it controllable. The car responds well to the use of throttle control to help steer the car. I didn't like the level of understeer though, it was a bit much at times. I might be so bold as to recommend a rigidity increase. In my past with FWD cars it always makes them better, and then perhaps a stiffer than the rear front spring rates. I hope you can gather some good feed-back from this average review. If there's anything you want to know about what I thought of this car let me know.

PS- Is that your first review?

sure, i want to know more.., more feedback = more ways to improve tunes

uh yah, yours was my first review.., so, we'll go in the traditional tuner-customer, uh, "tradition".., would you like to request a car tune??

 

[Megasoft Office]

In my opinion, the CP Evo are the most fun of them all to drive in the game. Good choice for the base car.

I like your tuning policies.

 

[EA11R]

LOL, I just noticed you switched your Evo to 1.5 LSD.

Wimp.

Better yet, you didn't change the description, and it still mentions a 2-way LSD. Does all this mean it has a 1.75 LSD?

No, I'm good. Normally, I make my own cars. Sometimes I get others to tune a car for me just to make them rive it, and see what they can make of it of course. (I've had MFT tune both Holdens )

IMO the most fun is the Evo V CP, to be exact.., 👍

now that's funny

*edit: abandoning project AE86 for the meantime..,

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

Of course, I didn't use their settings, I made better ones later in life anyway (IMO), it's just interesting to see what others can do with the same car.

just like in TCv3.., VTiRoj and Mafs planned to use the same car..,

i've been wanting to post my FC, it's ready now.., i just need a review from my FD or Sil-Eighty.., anyone want to try??

 

[nd 4 holden spd]

FD= rotary= no thanks from me
Sileighty= drift car= I try to avoid.
Sorry.

It's just not my style, once I get my 4 cars from VTC out in Aussie Tuners, the following cars will be my style.

 

[Skygrasper550]

just messing with you man..,

RJ said that he wanted to try my FC, i told him he should review my FD first.., wonder if he's still interested in it..,

 

[Rotary Junkie]

N4HS: Does it make you feel insecure that you can be beaten by something with less than the displacement of a milk jug?

Because otherwise, there's no reason to stay away from rotaries.

I had to do some ATM racing to get the teggy. I really don't like drifting! It fun to watch. Time Attack is were it's at. I'll have a review tonight for you on acouple of cars.

uh, ATM racing?? by that you mean, earning money??

 

[shoman]

Yup I use to have a lot of money until I lost a lot and I mean a lot of money and game. I had to start with nothing. I lost all of my tuned cars too.

I'm waiting for your Impreza actually but if your looking for reviews on your current lineup, I'll have a poke at your Evo. I have a stock black one in the garage.

Edit: One review, sire.

Note: My version of your Evo seems to have 4 more bhp than what you quoted. Maybe it’s a PAL/NTSC thing.

Car Review: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V GSR (CP9A)

Looking around my garage I see an old Evo 5 I bought yonks ago. I just left it in the garage so its just been sitting there looking sorry for itself. But thanks to Touge Tuners, Ltd., it has a reason to exist.

I took this car to Trial Mountain, my main testing ground for S3 cars. I’ve driven a lot of tuned Evos here before, so I know the Evo is capable of being a proper monster around here, but whether this Evo is remains to be seen.

Firstly, let me say how little of a dent this car made to my wallet. I didn’t actually add up the prices, but I’d say it doesn’t even cost the price of a new NSX Type R, under Cr.120,000 if I recall correctly.

The engine is marginally more powerful than stock. So I didn’t expect it to do 150mph down the backstraight. Not that it can do that anyway, I managed 140mph in 5th, and the shift light was having a fit, not actually on the limiter though. However, acceleration is nice and smooth, and seemingly endless until I hit the redline in 5th.

The brakes are very nice, even though it’s just a brake upgrade with no controller, it does stop exceptionally well.

The suspension felt good, really good. There was a lack of understeer trying to throw me into the mountains, and the car felt very much in control, even when I decided to fly over the chicanes at speeds that would embarrass a few high-end sports cars. However, because you’ve used Original suspension, you’re missing out on the better damper adjustability of the Racing hardware. The Evo is fine as it is, but maybe you could improve it further with Racing suspension. The 1.5 way LSD works well, anyone who gives you grief about that deserves a slap.

Lastly, the overall feel. It feels a lot more like an improved Evo rather than a full out tuner car. The parts list is small, which may be good on your wallet, but holds back the cars performance. This car has a lot more potential, but it currently feels as if it’s being held back. I must say though, its :censored:ing fast around Trial Mountain! For the record it’s a little less than 2 seconds slower than my own Evo VI TME, which has 361bhp.

Laptime at Trial Mountain: 1’36.147

Score: 85/100

A good car, it’s something you could give to a newbie to improve his or her skills with, or give to an experienced driver to take a break from 700bhp supercars. I’ll be keeping this one.

Let me finish my JGTC 500 MRS. Then I'll drive the FD.

EDIT: RX-7 Spirit R Type A Review:

It's okay, but beyond that I can't say much. The lack of a brake balance controller hurts this car more than anything, causing MASSIVE understeer during hard braking, which forces you to change your driving style drastically.

I accidentally tested the default suspension setup with your gearing and diff: It felt quite nice, actually. Applying your settings got it a little more tailhappy, but that's due in no small part to the rear toe out. On courses that are simply corner-after-corner with very few, very short straights, toe may actually help tire wear, but on a slightly more wide-open course that's not essentially a giant set of s-curves, it's extremely detrimental.

Aside from that, the tune merely results in a slightly different attitude for the car, not helping or hurting anything. Diff seems well sorted, as does the gearing, however.
