For Porsche '79-'84 911 SC, someone here may have done it before, not sure which car used maybe the CTR Yellowbird ? I need to do some search.
For the Delorean, what's the main use with the car ? I see you are using CH tire, maybe CM could help with more grip
or keep CH front and rear CM ?Happy Birthday to this great garage!
Thank you @Ridox2JZGTE, for all the wonderful cars and the knowledge you've shared to us!
Thanks guys, means a lot
I'll try to find play time to update the M4 post, I trying to make the most of the holidays.To everyone who reads this : Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2016, stay safe and have a great holidays with the family and friends
Hope you all have great Xmas presents, I'm wishing for a PS4

Also, the real car only have 5 gears, so you shouldn't really use the 6th.)

Power limiter: 50% (230 BHP)Body
Everything else: Standard
Ballast Weight: 60 kgFor ideas on paint and rims: Check this link. (It's a google picture search for Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2)
Ballast Position: -17% (Should give a balance of 43 : 57)
Everything else: Standard
(Note: I haven't found any weight balance specs of this car, but I found a source that said that the weight balance of a 1970's 911 was 43 : 57, so with nothing better to go for I went for that. In my car I also added an extra 70 kg (total of 130 kg ballast) to replicate the weight of a driver.)
This tune is based on what info I could find on the internet. The suspension part is a bit dodgy, and while the power limiter does limit the BHP, the torque is still about twice the amount of the real car. If you have any ideas for how this tune can be improved, feel free to share it

I recently tried a few of your old replicas and I am amazed 
However, there is on thing I noticed: You used the 2006 S2000 with the F22 engine as a base for this replica. Does this car really use the F22 engine as a base or is it one of the older, but higher reving F20s? I could not find any info on this. Tkank you and a merry christmas

The Spoon S2000 is indeed AP2, but it has F20C engine ( the demo car was built in 2007 ), I decided to use 2006 car as it's premium car
Thank you for still giving time to drive my work Merry Christmas and have a great holiday Now I wished I could do a hybrid in GT6, F20C on 2006 AP2 S2000

Notes :
The Ken Wolf/Terai Engineering/Art Sports/Rain-X ZA9C Countach 25th Anniversary was raced in 1994 season All Japan Grand Touring Car Championship.
The Rain-X Countach for short, was entered by JLOC ( Japan Lamborghini Owner's Club ) member Teruaki Terai. With cooperation of Ken Wolf, Art Sports ( exotic car dealer ) and Rain-X sponsoring the team, the Rain-X Countach was rushed to participate in JGTC races.
The Countach only had minimal modification compared to other teams, with stock differential, gearbox, engine, and clutch. The suspension, intake and exhaust has been known to be upgraded as well as brakes and wheel for racing on slick tires. The official power was 455+PS, but there are reports of the engine capable of 550PS which is plausible as the car has racing spec intake and exhaust, and even with stock engine internals, a race prepped engine would yield higher output than stock road engine. I provided 2 power output spec, 455PS and 550PS, feel free to remove the limiter on the 455PS spec to enjoy unrestricted what if power at 480+PS or go mental with 550PS spec.
For weight, I had to do some unconventional method to get the information. I used specs from very old SNES official JGTC game, of which I have read the ROM inside to get the detailed car specs ( 455+PS,1250kg )
Suspension is custom on the car, with spring rate and ratio optimized to handle the rigors of racing slick grip level. The damper are closely balanced with ARB to maintain composure on high speed to low speed corners with ability to absorb bumps as well. Camber and toe has been set to provide nice balance in handling from comfort soft to racing hard tires.
LSD is 45% lock similar to the road car spec, with low preload, while gearing is stock 5 speed. I have also provided Hewland TGTA 200 5 speed sequential gearbox ratios for the Countach. The 2 sets are each for 455PS and 550PS power spec. Feel free to use it as you see fit ( when stock 5 speed is not good enough ). The base final is 3.100, gives good top speed at close to 170mph, run the optional lower final ( 2.818 / 2.583 ) for more top speed or higher final at 3.444 for lower top speed at twisty track. I also provided several optional Hewland ratios for 3rd to 5th gear for when you want to fine tune for specific track.
The Rain-X Countach was tuned and tested at various tracks from Brands Hatch, Bathurst, Suzuka, Motegi Road Course, and Midfield. When tested without body rigidity installed, 455PS and stock 5 speed , RH tire, at Midfield, it lap in 1:11.494, while with Hewland 5 Speed 455PS, 3.100 Final, body rigidity installed, RH tire, 1:11.0xxs, about 3 tenths quicker.
At Suzuka on SM tire ( closest to real life 1994 slick ), stock 5 speed and body rigidity, 2:15s in 1st lap. The 1995 Suzuka 300 qualifying record by JLOC team driving the Diablo JOTA ( replacement of Rain-X Countach ) was 2:16.417. SH tires maybe necessary to replicate 1994 slick grip level.
I have provided 3 replays for reference and ghost to race with. The 2 replays at Midfield, stock 5 Speed and Hewland 5 speed as mentioned above on RH, and Suzuka on SM 2:15s lap. Enjoy the exciting lap at Midfield and Suzuka

I think the 2003 S2000s are AP2. Correct me if I am wrong. If I find the time, would you mind me doing a replica with the 2003 S2000 and send it to you to check if everything's correct?The Spoon S2000 is indeed AP2, but it has F20C engine ( the demo car was built in 2007 ), I decided to use 2006 car as it's premium car
Now I wished I could do a hybrid in GT6, F20C on 2006 AP2 S2000
And I (We) have to thank you for creating these great replicas. I had the most fun with Orido's red Daily Supra and the S2K.

And I (We) have to thank you for creating these great replicas. I had the most fun with Orido's red Daily Supra and the S2K.
AP2 started in 2004 when F22C was introduced in USDM market. F20C ended in 2003 on USDM S2000 ( 2000-2003 ), 2005 on JDM S2000 ( 1999-2005 ), while for UK, European and Australian market, F20C is the only engine available ( from 1999 - 2009 ), so these S2000 are all AP1 until the end of production.
AP2 is special designation for F22C S2000, all S2000 with F20C is AP1 ( until 2009 )
So, 2003 S2000 would be AP1 as it still has F20C ( both USDM and JDM models )
No sure if GT6 has UK, Euro or Australian market S2000, but that would be the best choice ( use 2004-2009 model with face lifted exteriror ) If you look at the real car Spoon Sports S2000 Demo car picture that I included in replica post, it has face lifted exterior ( as it was built in 2007, likely using a brand new example, and it's a Type V Edition as it has VGS rear badge )
Sure thing if you want to try the 2003 S2000
and it was my pleasure to share my work here.Thank you and hope you have a great Christmas holidays and celebration

I highly recommend the Amuse Orange Touge Monster S2000 as well as the JLOC Rain-X Countach ( 449HP with Hewland TGTA 200 gearbox ) for some raw race car like fun driving ( fit SH or SM tire ) during the holidays
Try both at SSR5, awesome

The setup for the 2003 S2000 is basically the same, just with a bit more power limiting.
I'll update this post with some laptimes later👍
Tested both at Tsukuba, CS tires, no aids:
2003 S2000 (F20): 1:04,903
2006 S2000 (F22): 1:05,718
The F20 felt way more stable, that might be because of the 10 000 rpm redline, driving this car in this rpm range results into less torque, which makes the car more stable. I think this is the reason for the gap. Also, I had no problems doing that laptime in the F20, but I had to fight with the F22.
I recommend trying both, because I think the F22 can do better on faster, less technical tracks. Both are a pleasure to drive

The engine torque should also plays a part of giving the 2003 S200 more stable rear end
Very glad to know that the setup can be used on older S2000 ( std ) Thanks again for the effort and report, will try the Spoon replica setup on the 2003 S2000 next time I play.I just posted a simple early build setup for Buick Special here in this thread, anyone interested can give it a go and see if the setup works not just for me
Here is the setup :

Were you stalking me Didn't know you were active back in GT5 days
I was a lurker here since I got GT5 in 2010, but I mainly read the news and almost never went to tuning forum. Made my own tunes, and practiced no ABS for the 1st 6 months of playing GT5

Final Group Test Results
Test method :
Tests were done using :
stick controller,
manual transmission,
ABS:1 and all other aids off
Grip = real
Steering sensitivity = 0
I gave each car 5 nonstop lap at Grand Valley Speedway
Trackripper123 RUF RGT ’00
Time 2:03.734
I really like this RUF, 1st corner can be taken with confidence, I can brake as late as just right after 100m marker, the car is very stable and responsive when turning. Lift off the throttle when entering a corner will give the driver a pinpoint accuracy to adjust the direction or position, and with proper throttle control, understeer is a rarity. One of my favorite part when driving the RUF is at the tunnel before the bridge, the car react so well to the brake and throttle. I am pretty sure 2:02.xxx is achievable, and a side note, on the long right tunnel after the bridge, maintain careful brakes and gas, as the car is quite sensitive. Overall, a very nice tune, stable and easy to drive, bravo.
Drivers Choice Points: 9.5 out of 10
Rotary Junkie Mazda Atenza Sport 25Z '07
Time : 2:04.961
How do I start ? The car has a good balance, the front heavy and front wheel drive layout tend to go wide, but this one will hold the line very diligently as long as the throttle kept in check. The gearing is pretty short for this kind of track, but it's a trade off for it's weight. I like the car, great suspension tuning, neutral entry, sharp steering response and slight understeer when pressured hard, good job RJ.👍
Drivers Choice Points: 8.5 out of 10
Ugabugaz Lamborghini Miura P400 bertone '67 Gentleman's Olds
Time 2:04.137
The Miura, this is confusing for me, it feel fast, handles great, but the time is not as good as I expected, maybe I am just not a good driver. The car is tricky this time at GVS, it has quite noticeable understeer when exiting tight turns, and on the S bends before the tunnel, the rear lose grip easily, which cost me a lot of time. Steering and braking is great, while the car is very stiff, the only issue is when going over the rumble strip which will upset the car and losing precious time. Top speed is a bit on the low side, barely hitting 145mph+ before 1st turn. Overall, nice tune.
Drivers Choice Points: 9 out of 10
Motor City Hami Lotus Elise 111R '04
Time : 2:03.211
I can't believe this car is so fast in corners, very predictable, stable and easy to push hard. Lots of grip from the rear tires and the braking although a bit rear bias is very manageable. The car's light weight give it major advantage, shorter braking distance, higher velocity through the twisty, and sharp steering. I love it when going through the tight S bend after the long tunnel. This car is a great adversary to the RUF RGT. Amazing work MC Hami
Drivers Choice Points: 9.5 out of 10
Onboy123 Toyota MR2 Spyder '99
Time : 2:04.951
Onboy's car this time is different than the previous round, the car has quite erratic behavior, it has tendency to oversteer when trail braking on entry, and then slight understeer when exiting. The main issues here is the lack of stability on long curve like the tunnel before and after the bridge. Brake too late, and it slides, accelerate too early and it goes wide. Front grip is inadequate when changing direction in high speed, but steering response is good at lower speed turn. Braking is okay, but a bit twitchy on 1st corner. The good thing about this MR2 is that when it loses rear grip, it's gradual and easily controllable, almost like a stock MX5

NewDriver2 Toyota MR2 G Limited '97
Time : 2:04.958
The MR2 has a good acceleration and top speed, the car is pretty good at exiting low speed corners. Tight rear differential means even wheel spin exiting a turn is quite easy to tame. Handling wise, the car has a weakness in high speed cornering, understeer could set in without warning, the front tires are a bit restless above 100mph, and also a bit unstable when changing direction. Braking is a hit and miss for me, 1st corner can be taken late, but often the rear give out grip too early, and throttle input needs to be gradual on long curve and S bends. A fast car indeed, but the instability hurt it's handling. A nice work nonetheless, SW20 MR2 is known to be quite wild even when stock.

Tried to be civil and polite
End up being guest tester as I wanted to stick with ABS 0 and then I quite being testers Not really a fan of FITT since then, but they are some nice folks

Oh yeah, they have just ignored you for two post pages long...but they are some nice folks
I was reading at your first quote here.

I've only been around GT Planet since 12th Jan 2014 but, like you, I've been playing since GT1 was a ground breaking game.2015 and 2016 is coming, I read these 2 old threads, the early days of me on GTP, so many didn't like me with my no ABS campaign, most of them are inactive today
If you want to see how I have been in GT5 days tuning and testing in FITT, and how I tried to fit in with ABS 1 tuners :

Start from these pages or start from page 1 if you have spare time to waste
@OdeFinn , @danbojte @Thorin Cain @TurnLeft : You may be interested to see how GT5 days tuners sees ABS 0 driver/tuner/tester
The 60 40 460pp shootout was memorable, I tested tuners car with ABS 0 and you can see some tuners reaction to my test report :0
I've only just started tuning since meeting a wide variety of members here and have taken part in two FITT competitions.
Prior to that, my 'tuning' only extended as far as adjusting gear ratios and wing levels without understanding how the increased downforce would affect the suspension. If I didn't like the balance a car gave me, I would change tyre compounds to enhance the balance in my favour although that didn't always work when tyre wear was a factor.
I've said it before & im saying again, Ridox, your tunes make a lot of sense because you go into great detail about why a change or setting has been made. To know what the tuner is thinking and why they've set a car a certain way is like sitting in a class you're interested in with a teacher you like & respect. How could you not learn something in that scenario?
Keep up the great work & forget about the knockers. Most are long gone & some refuse to listen or understand.
You can't preach to the know it all.

I have been lazy lately
OP has been updated The last update was back in August 2015 
Thank you for being honest and kind enough to give your impression on me
I know that my garage is not really mainstream or popular among GT6 players, but I will keep on going. Now I just need time to post my completed works, there are more than 20 cars that have been done ... I even forgot some of the cars There are people who mock me for having Pcars setup while I don't have the game or PS4, I tuned by playing someone else copy and blind tuning using real life values. Someday when I have PS4, I may open garage for these games like AC, Pcars and next GT Sport.
If anyone who visit this garage have Pcars, be sure to visit Pcars Database Site and check user GTP, I have 2 tunes linked on my sig ( Yellowbird and Evo VI ) I have had positive feedback on some of the cars.

I would be interested in some background information about that. What car do you own. Are doing the work on it by yourself? What mods do you have installed? I hope that's not too much to ask about

I lived in Australia ( Sydney ) for around 10 years, one of my car was R33 GTS-T Series II ( 1997 ) with Blitz mods ( Exhaust, suspension, bov ), HKS intake, intercooler, Nismo strut bars, Exedy twin plate clutch, Veilside 18" wheels ( 235/40 front, 265/35 rear ), Trampio tires, and 98 octane fuel ( she doesn't like any less ). That was the better days of my youth
wild night life, some street racing as well. I changed cars many times and have driven almost all kinds of JDM cars imported to Oz ( Supras, Skylines, Evos, FTO, GTO, Pulsar GTiR, Starlet GT Turbo, Integra, Prelude etc ) as I have many friends from garages and imports owner. Drove R32 GTR for about a month, taking care of it for a friend once I usually do most of simple works, like changing oil, brake pads, suspension tuning ( damper, alignment ), maintenance ( tires, wheels, underbody, interior ), and basic ECU / electronics ( Apexi PowerFC, boost controller, etc )
My old man was in car business ( buy and sell used cars ), which gave me car experience since about 10 years old, drove for the 1st time when I was 13 I think, Toyota Corona Sedan ( 1980 model ). My first car was Peugeot 505 GTi 2.2 ( 1989 model ), my 1st JDM driving experience was a white Mitsubishi Eterna/Galant VR4 owned by a relative, went 200+kmh on a highway early in the morning, hit redline on 5th gear, scary
then the next one was when my dad acquaintance was asking help to sell a Lancer Evo GSR I with rally themed mod ( roll cage, upgraded brakes-stock was very weak, stripped interior, Tein coilover, 280+PS ) complete with Ralliart livery Had a go around town for around 30 minutes, was crazy, the exhaust was so loud, the clutch was heavy, the idle was rough, and the boost was mad I was only 16 with no driver licence.

The police in my State of Victoria have been given a 'don't chase' order unless public life is in immediate danger so all the young hoons are doing what they like & if a cop car appears, they drop the hammer & speed off.
I miss the Pulsar Gti-R from GT whatever it was. Great car except for the interwarmer sitting on top of the motor.
I'm sure you took real good care of the R32
Were you here when you drove the '80 Corona? I'm pretty sure they were the ones with the Holden motor. Holden called it the Starfire 4 whereas those in the know nicknamed it the Missfire 4. Fair dinkum, that engine was a Holden 6 with two cylinders chopped off the block and wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding!
What are you steering these days?

Young and reckless, one of my mate owned FTO with mods, he sent it into a tree and almost cut the car in half, sunk it into the river ( he said ) and claimed insurance as stolen ( bastard
) The FTO was an excellent example of FF car, it was lightened and able to compete with Integras ( on the street )I had to baby sit the R32 GTR
Wash it every week and drove it every day I was in my home country when I learned to drive, I went to Sydney after graduating from high school ( 17 years old )
I'm not in Australia for the last few years and my car is now a slow people mover, a toyota avanza - not even mine, company car (you can guess which country I live now )
Ever since my dad gone, my family financially not as wealthy as before when I was in Oz, now I have to work harder with less pay

Ah huh! So your FTO mate is one of the reasons our insurance premiums are higher than they have to be. Silly man.
I see an FTO every now and then & they do have a nice exhaust note to them.
If you drive a slow people mover, one of which I've never heard of before, I can only guess you are living in the land of the people mover. That being the US of A? Maybe Japan?
On another note, I've managed to see a few episodes of Best Motoring recently & although I don't have the first clue about Japanese language, they're a good show to watch.
One was teaching a rookie how to drift properly and the other episode was a 3-lap race around Sugo to decide the best JDM of 2001.
R34 vs Evo 7 vs STi vs NSX Type S vs RX-7. R34 win from Evo with RX-7 a distant last.

The irony is that the FTO was not even "racing", it was raining and the car has falken azenis tires ( which was not really good in heavy rain ), the car spun at around 70kmh and hit a tree hard on the rear quarter just behind the door, the rear wheels came off clean
Even back in 1999-2001, JDM imports insurance premium was expensive.
Still wrong with the country guessing
I'm very close to Australia, just a few hours flight Best Motoring best shows are from the early 90's, look for 1992 and 1996 super battle ( F40, Porsches, Ruf, NSX, GTR, RX7, F355, Venturi etc )

Oh ok. That's the thing that always makes me wonder about people at the tyre dealers.
If the first scenario you encounter a loss of grip is in the rain, why don't people buy the best wet weather tyres they can? That'll easily be the first time you lose grip at road legal speed. If you cruise around the rest of the time, those soft compound wet tyre won't wear out in 6 months.
If you're not in the US or Japan, maybe you're over the ditch in New Zealand Bro. That'd be sweet as hey Bro
