RKM Motorsport - Tuned Tuners - May '13

[Turtle]

@ onboy and umadson? I always at your conversations.
@VTiRoj YAY! a new batch of cars. Also I'm glad you didn't change the rims on the 512BB, they all look hideous.
Edit: I look at the new NSX tune and it pretty much confirms my theory: The car looks better if it isn't yours. At least it's that way for me.

Tuner Comments:
Lampuhkap asked us for an R10 TDI, without any power-adders installed. Without any turbo upgrades, the R10 is tame and handles great. This is one of those LMP's you can actually run without TCS. The only major improvement you'll see between this and a stock R10 is the gearbox. Ours is much more suited to it's diesel motor, allowing the torque to do it's job and not spin it all away. Our suspension and LSD have made the car slightly easier to drive but, the speed difference is almost nothing.

Should I use this setup if it is fully tuned to? With ridgity and all?

 

[VTiRoj]

I thought you refused to launch a car with the tranny trick, Roj? and good, now get going on my Celica. I'll give you a few more cars to play with as well.

Not tranny tricked. It's just low max speed with a very low final.

I was tempted to put BBS RS wheels on it but then decided to keep the stockers.

Yes but use a much lower final gear like 3.000 or 2.9000 and watch out for the rear tyres lighting up.

Hey VTiroj i am going to try out the mp4-12c tune. I have been looking for a good one with no luck so going to test yours and I hope it works since I love your tunes. And i will write a review in the coming day

 

[GfxJG]

Dear god, a tune for the Macca Typewriter made by RKM. I've been waiting for this. Shame I have to wait 'till tomorrow to try it.

 

[RAZRr1275]

That Audi R10 is crazy - I took it to the ring which was scary. The suspension is so stiff that the FFB on that thing had me holding the wheel for dear life just to keep it straight. I was going through turns at like 10-15 mph faster than my normal speed and the thing still can go much faster- I ended up getting a 6:02 laptime but could go faster if I pushed it to the limit.

The MP4 is very fun to drive, even if it doesn't blitz the lap boards, it should still be very enjoyable to drive.

Well it does have 666bhp. But damn sweet lap time!

 

[C-ZETA]

This car's only real rival was the coughcoughAmuseS2kTurbocoughcough, and they will always be no further than 0.5 seconds from one another. They are forever bound together, those two. <3

About what, sorry? They aren't anything alike. The CT230R is a superb, awesome sounding, terrible driving but good feeling Evo 7, where as the S2k is...not an S2k. It's a supercar spider, made to look Japanese. And a bad one at that.

C-ZETA's favourite car!

Indeed. If you do release an S2k tune there will be an endless stream of 's coming your way. Besides which, can't you release, like, an HPA TT or something?

Also yay R10 Stealth I have one too, was looking to tune it up myself but it was hopeless. Might try it tomorrow. If I can be bothered.

I want to do an Amuse S2000 Turbo because I like it. Can't say the same about the TT though, HPA tuned or not, I hate the damn things.

Fine then, find a normal S2k GT1. That's not as bad because the power on that thing is not quite over the top. Plus it actually has a full blown sound and doesn't look as wild, and seems to be easier to drive. Which means you don't really need a setup for it but eh I have one at 0/0 lying in my garage still...and I have reviews that haven't got requests.

But the Turbo is premium!

But its interior is all red! And the rear view doesn't work anyway with an impossibly huge spoiler blocking your way If you wanna do a Premium...well, you've already done a Mine's and a Blitz, so I guess next best thing would be...nope, you've already done a 380RS too. Maybe...AEM S2000 grip tune??? It's not gonna compete with the CT230RR...but then why not just tune a Super GT?

Ya sooo right! Just try the tune, it's bloody amazing. Does a lap of the TGTT, from a standing start, in 1:05.5xx.

Mp4-12c review

Warning the comments in this review may or may not be true for YOU, they are for me for when I was driving them.

Stock
This car for me personally was a challenge to drive at its best; a little too much throttle out of the turn and then the car is sent spinning. In tight corners it tends to under-steer from me being too scared to send the car spinning. For me this car was really hard to get back in a straight line once the back end did kick out, and spent a lot of the time trying to get it straight just to head into another turn. Over all this entire car can probably be driven very fast by a much better driver but for a hack like me it is a lot of work to get the most out of it.

VTiRoj tune
This car was so much better. Very planted, it could be driven to the max on my skills, when only the slightest of tail kicking when pushed too hard out of turn; but even then easy to get back under control. Very good turn in and great brakes. The only thing I don&#8217;t understand was the lack of a custom LSD. But even without one it was fine. Very good car, great turn in on tight corners and good exit, just make sure the car is straight or the back end will kick out, but like I said earlier if it does it's very easy to get back under control. This tune added about 7 seconds for me on Nurburgring grand prix track, where I tested both these cars. Over all great improvement for this car and one of the better tunes I have tried on it.

Only thing I have to complain really about both these cars, is the noise when in cockpit or front bumper&#8230; god damn that&#8217;s annoying.

Doesn't bother me, I use 3rd person view most of the time. I just like the little toys that premiums get. AEM would be cool but I'd rather do the Amuse first. Only SuperGT left is the Lexus. We've got the Supra, NSX and 350Z, nothing could top those 3 I think.

Mp4-12c review

Thanks for the review! I kept the standard LSD because it was actually pretty good as is. I believe the stock LSD is 7/35/15, which is pretty much what I use anyway. But yeah glad you liked it! 👍

 

[Naruto149]

Hey guys, i was in a le mans lobby last week, and I noticed a person joined named "RKMotorsport" is this one of you guys?

 

[Michelin]

Seriously, I've used the following tunes from here (all of them by Roj, sorry RJ lol)...
-R34 Black Edition
-CRZ Type R
-R32 Skyline GT-R
-Coffee Car
-Emperor IV
-Castrol Supra (JGTC)
-NSX R1

And seriously, all the cars I could drive with only ABS and AT (can't multi-task that easily, sometimes I try) and there wasn't a small sign of the car wanting to spin. Simple put, the tunes are perfect, sometimes even online I beat some guys with higher tier cars (like I beat some stocks Skylines with the CR-Z at Tsukuba hahaha)
CONTINUE LIKE THAT RKM!

I'd be worried if the CRZ wanted to spin. But okay, we'll continue to make near-unspinnable cars!

 

[uMadson?]

Indeed. If you do release an S2k tune there will be an endless stream of 's coming your way.

I'd actually like to see that happen.

Just sayin'.

I can test the LS6>LS7 tune tomorrow RJ. It looks like a beast, so I will take for a lap around Daytona RC

It keeps up well enough. Also, I'd prefer you test it online (this goes for both of them actually though the NSX has the opposite issue and isn't as bad about it) as it's been made mainly for online use and understeers a bit offline as a result. Not much, but it's there.

But sometimes battling against understeer is fun (when you're alone in a track I mean haha)

 

[Rotary Junkie]

No, that's oversteer. Vette's decent offline but online it gets balanced out and simply feels better. And slightly more fun.

Because you spam so much that editing a post 2 days later isn't exactly obvious. You have more posts in our thread than either of us. That says something.

Now get to doing a proper review.

whoops o.O

Only if you answer to it

 

[C-ZETA]

Ya sooo right! Just try the tune, it's bloody amazing. Does a lap of the TGTT, from a standing start, in 1:05.5xx.

If it's fixed the handling then the Giulia TZ2 has been beaten for best car in the game. The CT230R was already 2nd to begin with for me simply for the thrill of driving it, but it's not good to actually try and make drive properly. (Cornering abilities.)

Only SuperGT left is the Lexus. We've got the Supra, NSX and 350Z, nothing could top those 3 I think.

*ahem* GT-R.

I'd actually like to see that happen.

I'll probably put a 10/15 minute loop of it, for lolz. I wouldn't actually clog up their thread a billion times with Darth Vader mourning over Padme's death

Well…depending on your idea of 'proper cornering', it'll be varying from good to . Just bare in mind that RJ, for some reason, knew beforehand that I liked loose cars, so it's properly bonkers in the bends if you drive it right.
