Onboy123So, if it doesn't get though this time, can you post it here for the world (Well, for us lot) to read?
Most likely yes. But remember, only if it doesn't make it...

I think I'll be doing a review of the LFA GT. I won't be posting it in my review thread though, but not this thread either. I am in fact gonna submit it into the GTLife magazine since I feel like an article would be good to put it in. I will give a quick summary of it though...along with a comparison to the pink LFA I have.

Tuner Comments:
Just like you, I hated how the 111R handled in the Top Gear special event. So when it was time to buy one for my own needs, I decided to make an Elise that would restore everyone’s faith in it.
So this is Juliet. She may be cute, but she’s also insanely fast. There’s no ridiculous sliding or lack of braking control here, just pure grip and the confidence to use it. She’ll beat cars with twice the power and embarrass high end supercars around the twisties. If she doesn’t restore your faith in the Elise, nothing will.
How she got this fast? Well, she spent all day playing kiss chase with the NSX-R 3rd Anniversary. Sorry Romeo.

Thanks for the review! It's the typical traits of an Elise. Fast on corners, but it lacks on the straights, even when you turbo it. Glad you like it though!I just wanted to give you guys a review on this amazing tune.
Juliet is a really good car, I am currently in the process of writing a review for it but I do notice that it is a bit track dependent.

Guess whos back with a complete makeover for GT5? Oh yes. Its the RVV NSX-R Evo.II all rebuilt for this generation. The main difference youll notice is the new aero, new wheels and the titanium pipes out back. Under the bonnet, youll notice a fresh new C32B engine with a reliable 393bhp. Weight has been reduced to 1051kg, making this old favourite even faster than before. Oh yeah, its still just as agile, if not more so.
This 3rd Anniversary model marks the 3rd year of this NSXs life.

Tuner Comments:
This Lolvo C30-500 is tuned for 500PP racing. If you just want a Volvo C30 tune without any regard for PP limits, you’ll want Rotary Junkie’s Volvo C30RS.
Using RJ’s C30RS as a base, this C30-500 is optimised for 500PP racing. Plenty of grip, plenty of power and an absurd weight balance that actually works to the Lolvo’s favour. Where the Lolvo may lack at the top end, it makes up for it in low-end grunt. Quite the opposite of an Integra then.
This is a fully broken in Volvo C30, without oil change. If your C30 isn’t fully broken in or has had its oil changed, you probably won’t hit 500PP. In that case, you’ll just have to balance the power limiter and ballast weight until you can hit 500PP yourself.
Everyone was expecting an Integra or Civic eh?That tune was unexpected.
Thank you! Brakes I understand are a personal preference for the most part. You are welcome to adjust the brake balance to your own tastes to see if it works better for you. 👍 The transmission is set long to suppress the wheelspin by sacrificing some acceleration, but it out-accelerates everything in it's class anyway so it's no real loss. Glad you liked it!So this is actually an amazing car. I was not expecting much in terms of power because its not actually fully tuned in terms of power. The tuning of this car is great. I have tried other tunes on this website (not from you guys) and they didnt work that well. The only thing about this car is the brakes are a little dead for my taste (I usually run 10/10) and the transmission is lacking power in the lower gears. I got it up to 191mph on la sarthe no chicanes and ran a time of 3:59. Other than that it is a great car and if you give it a some power going out of the corners you can get a little sideways but this is one of the best tunes i have found on this site so far.
The weight balance suprised me too! Check RJ's C30RS tune on the first page if you want to see what more power will do to it. 👍wow... the car was great... i fgured the wieght balance would kill handling but i was dead wrong! runs 1:12.45 around high speed ring and launches like an awd... ROCK ON! wonder what jit'll do with more power...
The low RPM turbo gives a wider powerband in the Volvo than the mid or high.actually slower with mid range turbo...
That tune was unexpected.
And your PS3 is coming in August, right?
Cobra tune?? Where did you hear that from??
Good news! My new PC parts have arrived, once they get put together I may well be able to save some replays for YouTube video reviews maybe? Or atleast a replay of your cars kicking butt in my rather unskilled hands ^_^
Video reviews would be great.
An amazing idea has popped into my head oh lol. I have a camera as well (no capture card sadly) and previously uploaded videos but the idea died since no one watched them I think now that I could do 'test drive' vids with different tunes. Think this'll be good?
Yeah. I think as long as you position the camera right, it'll look good.
I think that's the first time someone has done a bulk review without mentioning any of my cars. 👍
