RKM Motorsport - Tuned Tuners - May '13

[Turtle]

To be completely honest, I hope that they don't mess with the physics too much. There are so many cars that I love already and I don't want to have to deal with drastic physics changes.

 

[Onboy123]

Ah well, enjoy your break, the both of you. Especially you, Roj, cuz when you come back, I want you to recreate a few legends for me

Hint: They are touring cars.

 

[priesty_lfc]

I still love my Coffee Car.

Roj,

Just read you chase cam??? (that's the one from behind yeah?)

Found that strange as IMO it give the car an unnatural feel when driving! :/

I use most of your tunes and use bumper cam as it gives me a better feel of what the car is doing..........

Do you think the view you use would influence your tunes??

 

[Rotary Junkie]

Roj using the chase cam has always confused me (Adrenaline does it too) but I've not seen anything to suggest it'd actually affect the way they'd tune a car.

What's so confusing? We just want to admire the car's arse Yes, we. As in me as well.

 

[Rotary Junkie]

That explains a lot, actually.

I use it a lot if a car sounds nice...like my Megane I was tuning last night, I spent half an hour with my head vibrating to it's awesome exhaust.

 

[priesty_lfc]

I used too use it, then in GT5p I upgraded to cockpit and now GT5 I've moved to bumper cam (due to std's) but it's made me faster and have a better feel for the cars I drive.

I just assumed as a tuner you would too!

Tuner Comments:
So we got this EvoX dropped off by a customer for tuning purposes. We figured the modified settings versus stock were the result of fettling by said customer and thought little of it, same for the clutch-type differentials. Then we noticed the car was being shown in the “customer cars” section of another tuning company's website.

The car was feeling a bit sad for itself when we got it, having lost the only thing that gives an Evo an advantage; the active yaw control rear differential, and running an unoptimized suspension setup. The car was originally set up on the customer supplied soft-compound slicks but we noticed it didn't really need them so we slapped on road-legal soft-compound semi-slicks and finished the tweaks. We were then told we could do whatever we wanted with the appearance of the vehicle, so it got a fresh coat of Ford Oxford White paint and a set of Enkei JS+M wheels sprayed with Alfa Romeo Bianco Spino to call it done.

Best tune ever i managed to have a lap time of 53:7xx on tsukuba with you tune but i believe that the tune can be further improve

Could you not quote the entire tune next time? Just the two pictures is enough to give is an idea of the car you're talking about.
edit:

That explains a lot, actually.

Yes, yes, please leave my awful driving out of this conversation

I use it a lot if a car sounds nice...like my Megane I was tuning last night, I spent half an hour with my head vibrating to it's awesome exhaust.

Oh, good. I thought you meant vibrating as in something else entirely Yea, a day at school with a bunch of slightly perverted friends does have this affect on me.

 

[Dragonthing]

Oh hush, immature one...I have a super sexy PC gaming headset I use at night, and it makes the cars sound awesome

I have to use the TV speakers so when RJ swears, everyone in the living room can here it…great, since I've recently been in trouble at school for using slightly foul language and until a week ago when RJ was tutoring me, my mum was oblivious to why and where I learnt it

Anyway, Roj, do you like the slightly older Peugeots? Cuz that's one of the cars I want you to tune but I'm not too sure if I should give it too you as you'd try to murder it like you did to the rusty POS Alpine.

 

[VTiRoj]

Ah well, enjoy your break, the both of you. Especially you, Roj, cuz when you come back, I want you to recreate a few legends for me

Hint: They are touring cars.

Only if we don't have to re-tune 100+ cars upon our return. Otherwise sit tight 'cause this'll take a while.

I've always used chase cam since I was a little babby. I'm just so used to it that bumper cam actually makes me go slower. Given the same amount of time I'd sure I'd wind up faster with bumper cam, but I do enjoy seeing my car in front of me so yeah.

I'm guessing you mean the 205, which I'm cool with. The 206 though can go die in a fire though.

Yay!

Unfortunately it is a 206

It will be written off, as per family tradition.

Dude. Just, no. I want you to turn it into something of a legend to me. (Here's a bit of background, so just skip over if you're going to be nasty and say no) You have BTCC over there, we have a race every November where the WTCC and various other championships race through the city streets of Macau. Now, I've been watching this race since I was old enough to talk, and one of the most memorable cars that I've seen race was a Green Peugeot…something. I couldn't remember the model, but I did remember that it kicked BMW ass around that circuit. So now I'm 'old' enough to acquire a car similar to it, I want you to help me recreate this car by tuning it to compete against that BMW 330i you did for me. (The actual regs say the cars can't have an engine bigger than 2000cc, but who cares )

So yea……pleasseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?????

Seriously, RKM needs to turn crap cars into wild beasts.

If you think the R35 is crap then why did RJ make a *little* tune for it?

Well, there's a BTCC Lolvo for you Roj

 

[VTiRoj]

You're asking a 206 to compete with a 330i? You're worse than a chav for thinking that's possible.

330i - RWD saloon that's actually capable around a track.
206 - FWD chavmobile that ends up in a tree after going round a corner.

Why can't you pick a good Peugeot like the 205 T16?

So what's the Nissan EXA, Toyota Vitz, Nissan March and the Mini to name a few? We built this house with crap cars.

Because someone requested it and it's good to have an R35 tune laying around so we don't have to tune more than one.

Hey, if you look at the stats, they are actually very close. The BMW has 517PP with the wing and maxed out. The Pug has (supposedly) 510PP without a wing and maxed out. And having driven CyKosis' one, it's handling is very much the essence of the hot hatch. Very good feel from the steering, no understeer, feels enthusiastic. Honestly, just get that ricey image out of your head and give it a go.

As for the 205 T16? I would have given it to you, but I put the tune from MFT on it so

So could you please do it??? For the sake of letting me drive one of my favourite race cars?

 

[Dragonthing]

Dooooo eeeeet!

 

[Onboy123]

Actually……Roj, throw the NSX away, I'll send you a Group B special for the Touge Shootout. It's a RS.

 

[uMadson?]

Which is basically the same thing. Onboy123 is just doing the same thing and yet you're gonna reject it.

Ya know, tuning garages gets a crapload more respect and reputation when something crappy gets transformed. 👍

But you can't transform it! Only make it boring and fat in slightly different ways...even the GT500 ones are too sane compared to the others...

If you look at the reality, the 330i would run circles around the chavmobile, stop for Starbucks and still win the race. You're essentially asking a shopping trolley to beat one of the best RWD saloons around. It's a BMW, it'll punch way above it's weight so PP isn't a good comparison.

Well there you go then! Job done! Enjoy your proper, unchavvy Peugeot.

There's lots of 206 settings, can't you try those?

Actually……Roj, throw the NSX away, I'll send you a Group B special for the Touge Shootout. It's a RS.

Can I throw you away and have someone send me a cup of tea?

If you'll look on the request policy, it say be reasonable. 206 vs 330i would be like watching a child go against Mike Tyson.

If RKM won't do it I'll see if the Outlaws can turn it into something dangerous!

Remember...Viva La France!

There's one answer that can disprove your argument.

HELLAFLUSH.

Galant's are awesome though.

Meant to ask you how would you like to do a tune of my Bubblegum Bandit except upgraded to the HP specs for the advanced Rally special events from A-Spec?

I'll trade you the tune for Onboy!
