RKM Motorsport - Tuned Tuners - May '13

[Rotary Junkie]

@Ryan G: Take a look at DC9990's review and you'll get the gist, though we'd also like you to point out any issues you find the car has. (understeer, oversteer, strange reaction to *insert thing*, etc)

@DC9990: "short" gear ratios != fastest acceleration. That said I look forward to working on whichever car you decide to throw our way.

@hawkeye122: I think that'd be neat. 👍

Right! I'm bored outta my skull, can't play GT5 or anything on Steam right now since I'm downloading stuff, so I'll do a review...or two...or three...

Tune the First: Ferrari Enzo
I wouldn't have an Enzo at all if it wasn't for RKM after playing on a friend's console and finding his "buy, full mod, repeat" Enzo Sitting forgotten at the bottom of his garage list, I whipped out the old iTouch and promptly re-tuned it. And what a difference it made.
For a relatively heavy 900bhp Italian supercar, it's as psychotic as you would expect, even on Racing Softs, but that's what makes it an amazing car to drive. There's no uncertainty here, just a bit of predictable overseers that makes booting it out of corners so much more fun. The gearbox is fantastically set up to allowing for some astonishing speeds while making the power manageable. It's hard to describe the handling in detail, but it is a mix of stable, neutral-ish cornering coupled with the insanity of having 900+ bhp stuck behind your seat. It's certainly not a car for amateur drivers, especially not for 12-year olds who race mod and fully tune their cars to win, and is definitely a challenge to drive cleanly. But even if you do crash out, you'll still be crashing with a huge grin on your face

 

[bb6monster]

would a video review with steering wheel get me..two car tunes? Lexus ISF and Honda Prelude!! I'm working on it..

 

[Onboy123]

Nope. One tune for one review. If you could do that, I would have around 100 tune requests available from RKM don't try to cheat la………And they have an ISF tune, it's just that since it was RJ who tuned it, he's renamed it the Atteza or something…

Ah, yes, that one…The…what is it? The 'Toyota Altezza RSsomethingorother GTR LM WRX STI 22B T.M Edition'. That's the one you're looking for

Mclaren F1 94 Review : After testing out the stock F1 I quickly realised I needed help from the experts. RKM stepped in with more downforce and a great transmission setup.

The traction out the corners is a lot better with the better gearing and the car feels quite balanced . The rear behaves itself unless you go over the limit.

I test all cars on Deep forest, the Mclaren handled the bumps admirably and gave me more confidence with cornering speed . It compared favourably on my lapboard also.

I took it to the Nordschleife for a test , it could run sub 7 minutes with a better driver. The car feels very neutral most of the time in long bends it can push slightly. But I think this is good as it makes for a smoother driving style thus keeping the cars nasty bite in check.

All in all the tune is very impressive , grip is improved, gearing great and gives the driver confidence . Thanks a lot.

Just a heads up to Rotary Junkie, I just started a "fake" tuning company based off GT5 and will be using your suspension tunes for the cars that I am building. Click the "MLMotorsport" link in my sig to see what I mean.

 

[JrDarknes]

I call it the homicide nsx, cause I murder people online with it O_O

 

[Dragonthing]

Hey RKM guys ^_^ I wanted to let you know I used one of your tunes as a base. I wanted a tarmac tune for the SX4, and I ended up basing my own off of your CElica WRC tarmac tune. The tune itself is here, and your base tune is credited: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=5626810#post5626810
Please let me know if you are okay with this, or if you would like this taken down I am happy to oblige

 

[sNooKeR09]

Hmmm, no drift tunes? Does that mean you wouldn't tune the Amuse S2000 GT1 Turbo?

 

[DromeGT]

My Review on VtiRoj's NSX-R 3rd Anniversary.

Track tested on:

Nürburgring 24 hour circuit.

What an awesome car. I have tried numerous NSX tunes but I couldn't find the right one. This car is such a beauty to drive, it sticks to the pavement, hardly spins out. In all I think it's a perfect car for the Nürburgring. I have already decided that this will be the car that I use for the Nürburgring 4 hour as it just feels at home on the Nürburgring. My favorite part about this tune is that I am able to go flat out through the Brünnchen corner and not lose traction 👍


The Rating

• Looks: 10/10
• Performance: 10/10
• Handling: 10/10

There isn't much to say other than I love this car . I painted mine in Yellow with Black rims.

I will edit this post later with some screenshots of my car in action and stationary.



GTP Name: DromeGT.

PSN Name: Mozzer_

Your Car: Ferrari 458 Italia.

Sending Your Own Car? Yes (After trade reset), car will be tuned to the MAX with Racing Softs.

Tuning Request: I want this car to be able to beat the Enzo's at the La Sarthe track in the new Ferrari Seasonal (I am getting bored of the British Lightweights grinding). And I also wish for it to be tuned for use by a DS3.

They would tune anything, just not for drifting. Also the S2000 GT1 Turbo isn't a drift car to begin with. It's just a tuner terrible car.

You are outside of your mind. I saw the thread, but you're crazy. That car is extremely quick and it lets you toss it around like a ragdoll with zero consequences.

 

[Akira GT]

I like the S2000 especially in Lime Green... although it could be better and thats where all the tuners come into play

I find it really annoying when the AI uses it. And when I drove it it tossed me around like a ragdoll to be honest But Have Your Say, as I always say.

I actually like Lime Green Metallic now. It makes cars look like pears But that makes me hungry

You should check out Mjölnir my Volvo S60 T-5 Sport.
Probably the largest FF pear in GT5!
It's up for share by the way if you want to see it for real.

Lol.... terrible car?? Okay, obviously someone doesn't know how to drive/drift? Wow I can't believe you just said its not a drift car/terrible... Plus how can you even call this a tuner its way beyond any league of any "tuner" I've ever seen. Have you ever driven an S2K irl? There amazingly agile, they drift and do donuts straight out the box. How can you bash on this car LOL, you don't belong here. Leave please....

BTW mines factory lime green but I'm changing it just because you like the color. Man i really really realllllllllllllllllly dislike you

I find it really annoying when the AI uses it. And when I drove it it tossed me around like a ragdoll to be honest But Have Your Say, as I always say.

Yea no wonder you bash on cars like this. YOU CAN'T DRIVE THEM
Well sucks to be you cause you're missin out on a lot of fun. I forgive you though cause you don't deserve to have it in you're garage, so please delete. Then take out GT5 from the PS3 and break it in half.

I can drive to a reasonable extent on this game...especially considering I have 96% game completion. Also that's the problem with the car - it's too fast for every other tuner car and that doesn't make it fun to race with them. And I know how an S2000 does in real life, it's just that I think the S2000 GT1 Turbo tune is too TOO modified for an S2000 tune. It's more like a Super GT car to be honest. It's also why I like the S2000 R1 so much, the Opera S2000 among others. As I said in my last post, Have Your Say. And what I meant is it's not a drift car by default like, for example, the Blitz Skyline. Misunderstood the question there so meh. But anyway they don't do drift tunes anyway so yeah. Also, why would you change the colour of a car because some one else DOESN'T like it?

I never said anything about how I drive it, it was a comment on how it's implemented into GT Mode as an AI. Having a fair race with it in a championship is much harder since the S2000 GT1 Turbo is largely much faster than the other cars in the championship and leaves them behind, making it less fair on others. And I don't really like owning other championships. Also as a quick note I actually think the original S2000 GT1 '04 standard version is good because it hasn't got enough power to be...dangerous. Haven't driven it myself on this game, though I have one. I wanna keep it with no miles so I can get an offer for it on the marketplace though. Also I don't have it in my garage anyway so...yeah. And I will have to ignore the instructions you gave me there so...meh.

Also try not to double post unneccessarily...

Thats a bit harsh.. many people here dont like the R35 GT-R but you don't see me telling them to break their game in half..

Integra Type R Turbo


WOW, so what can i say? This bluebonic plague is a monster on Nürburgring. Even though its FF, It surprises you through every turn. It goes EXACTLY where you want it to without having to make any adjustments. Driving this in GT5 makes me want to go to the track right this second. I myself owning a RSX-S am very pleased by the way it drives. She's my baby, and my pride and joy. I have to say they drive almost identical, except mines not boosted. So I'm lackin on the power side of it . Anyways this car is a blast to drive, in the game and irl. Hitting Vtec through the turns, man is that noise addictive or what? The power that this little thing can muster up is ENORMOUS. This will easily beat cars with 100-150 more hp on many tracks. But my favorite track to run is the Nur and my fastest time is 7:18.22. Not to bad for a FF car.(Ran with sport's soft) So much respect for the tune and i hope to see a good rival for this FF MONSTER in the near future. Thanks for the tune and it is very much appreciated. Keep up the hard work.

Okay... just cause you have 96% of the game complete doesn't mean you can drive a car correctly... second off don't try to redeem yourself in the public's eye when you were CLEARLY bashing on the S2K. You stated that it was a "terrible car" because you can't drive for ish... Also like YOU stated "I actually like Lime Green Metallic now." and that's why I'm changing it because i REALLY REALLY REALLLLLLLLLY dislike you... How can you deny all these things when the proof is right there LOL!!! Oh and here's another good one "I never said anything about how I drive it, it was a comment on how it's implemented into GT Mode as an AI." but then you stated right here "And when I drove it it tossed me around like a ragdoll to be honest" So to be honest I think you're making a huge fool of yourself right now so just stop while you're behind. Because at first you stated that it's a TERRIBLE CAR and now you're saying this "Having a fair race with it in a championship is much harder since the S2000 GT1 Turbo is largely much faster than the other cars in the championship and leaves them behind, making it less fair on others." LOL I don't understand how you think you're making any sense right now. Please just stop and leave... this is you 👎 and btw im new to the whole forum thing so sry for the double posts Mr. Moderator

Different cars suit my driving style, and the S2000 GT1 Turbo does not suit mine, so deal with it. And no I'm not bashing the S2k as a whole, I actually think the S2k as a whole is a brilliant car with a good history. And terrible and fast do not go under the same kind of definition. I know the Giulia TZ2 to be rather slow but its brilliant to drive. Also you're rather bordering on this rule of the AUP...

AUP
You will not behave in an abusive and/or hateful manner, and will not harass, threaten, nor attack any individual or any group.

No, the S2000 is not one of those by the way. Now I'm gonna stop because this is just getting the thread off topic and I'm not in the mood for getting myself warned.

 

[sNooKeR09]

You've been warned.... by me YOU ARE MAKING A FOOL OF YOURSELF!

 

[AMG.]

The same goes for you.... so calm down, take heed of the AUP and tone down your posts.

 

[Onboy123]

Wow, this is the very definition of 'Fanboy-ism', isn't it? We all have our opinions, and though I disagree with C-ZETA on this subject to a certain extent, I respect his opinion. And you need to learn to be more courteous, you don't just bark at someone the moment your opinions clash…know what, I don't like you much either, new boy.
DON'T RESPOND (sorry if I'm giving life to the argument, didn't mean to, just wanted to voice my opinion)
Anyways……on topic, if Roj is still following this, I've made a request, and I expect that one to be done to the best of your ability And no, I haven't forgot about my task of finishing all of RJ's tunes, I just got…side tracked

 

[Bradk20]

I'm obviously new to the forum this being my first post. Just wanted to say iv tried several of yalls tunes and like them very much. Y'all tune the same way I try to but urs are much more refined. I played forza till gt5 came out and have been having problems tuning camber and suspension travel being there are no feedback tools it's it's hard to tell in photomode.

Anyway keep up the good work, dunno if I'm supposed to request tunes here or not but I'd love to see a new M3 tune specifically for the nurbirgring. Something streetlegal probly not all weight reductions. Like a daily driver that can still haul ass on the ring.

Thnx again for yalls work I'm a big Honda fan and I'm lovin the S2K 08 civic and ek type r.

 

[Onboy123]

They do do requests, but they won't do any requests (or will put requests on hold/ push requests back) for a while because:
A) One review = One request tune
B) Roj, the 'Main Tuner' is a slacker and has ran off to Singapore for a month and won't be back while RJ's PS3 has decided it didn't want to live and committed suicide.

Well the only reason I kept it going was because he was contradicting everything he said. Also I have every right to voice my opinion just like you or him. But when he goes off denying basically everything he said it got really annoying. Plus he was trying make a point that it was a "terrible" car but in the end it turns out its just "unfair to the other cars". So it really was a pointless argument because he sided with what i said the first time which was the S2K is an AMAZING car... Plus all I was doing was restating his own words and using them against him. I mean you gotta read the dialog.. lol every time I said something about his something he would come back at me like "I didn't say that, It must have been someone else.... or it was the "no, no, no you misunderstood me, this is in FACT what i said/meant" card... I just didn't like how he responded with the "terrible" S2K quote but then it turned into a whole new ball game when he started feeding me the ammunition that eventually lead to his what do i say now? So to sum it up I apologize for being so rude. It just was not my day, I'm not sure what it was but he just brought out the demon in me. So I am sincerely sorry to everyone. That goes for you too C-ZETA... Sorry I love to argue... I'm studying criminal law so i like to object for the record lol.

 

[Adrenaline]

Criminal law... not with that type of grammar.
