I´ve tried out the mx5 and rx7 and they are very good.
Thank you very much.
Now i´ll try the Golf RM.

Fun Fact: This setup works on the Honda Mugen Motul Civic Si Race Car '87.
Hey!Long time no see guys!
Have you guys got any plans on tuning the Peugeot 908 HDI?
I'm gonna be using it for this Le Mans championship and i want the car to be more responsive. Next track is Suzuka and i dont think the 908 is nimble enough to handle all them corners.
I can gift you the car if you can sent it back before this weekend.

Indeed it does. (sports soft tires) Around Grand Valley, the Motul felt like a pretty solid tune. Approaching a corner, you turn the wheel, and the car pivots about 5 degrees and locks into that small oversteer, and just pulls through the turn. It's kind of odd at first, and doesn't feel befitting a race car. But once you get used to it, it's a very useful and quick cornering behavior. The spring rate seemed a bit soft, but the car tracked remarkably well at high speed over curbs, so I suppose it all evens out. The car's traction out of low-speed turns was pretty remarkable; I could not get the wheels to spin on this course. Braking seemed to cause understeer, but this is okay.
Next, I took the Motul to Nurb Wet, and was very surprised that the car's balance was not destroyed by the low-grip surface. Normally, to get a car to pivot and then stick, you need to do something spooky with anti-roll and camber, and it only ever works with one level of grip. With this car, though, the behavior remains in the wet: you turn, it pivots then goes. Pure and easy. However, one thing that really really sucked in this situation was the brakes. In the dry, they cause understeer. In the wet, you can either turn or brake; it's really bad. That's all I could really get from that test; I'm not good in the rain yet.
So, finally, I took it to the Nurburgring, dry. And what a load of fun it was. Grip was plentiful. Braking was fast. The attitude felt fantastic, balanced and getting more tail-happy at higher speeds without becoming dangerous in the slightest. On this course, oddly, the springs felt ultra stiff, but the car can boing off of the curbs without veering off-course. It's really disorienting because the motion is sudden and violent but the accident never comes. I'm impressed. The gearing is oddly tall, suitable given the car's presumable mission of downing a more powerful opponent; I finally reached 140 at the end of the straightaway.
The car's attitude is a weird, pivot-then-turn affair. It kind of reminds me of turbo lag; you ask the car to go, and it takes just a bit of time before going. But, also like turbo lag, it gets less noticable the faster you go, and you get used to it anyway. It's a unique flavor, which one must experience before giving an opinion. However, I would say that three areas of the Motul tune could use some improvement. The brakes cause understeer. Switching the balance around slightly could improve the feel of the car at corner-entry. Also, the remarkable traction at corner-exit seems a bit unnecesary. I couldn't spin the wheels on a smooth course, period. I can only imagine that a lower diff setting would help corner-exit agility rather noticably without really hurting much. Also, I noticed there were no aero settings listed. Surely you don't agree 100% with the stock ones?
So, the attitude is weird but good. The brake balance could use some work. The diff settings might be overkill (unless I was supposed to add power?). And I find it odd you didn't see fit to alter the aero. Either way, it is a very good tune, especially since the Motul Civic starts out as a thing of pure understeer. A couple of adjustments and it could be very remarkable.
Thank you for having a ton to say about the car! There's a reason your reviews from RVV are on the main RKM page and it's not because you said nothing.Are all tuned cars in GT5 this good? Cause I know the physics are good, but damn. It handles like my car in real life in optimal conditions, and trust me when I say that's just about perfect.
EDIT: Well crap. apparently I had a ton to say about the car. Are you still doing the request thing? Cause my Kusabi could use a good tune. (and everyone's could use black paint)
Yep. Apparently it only makes another 30-40hp from being fully modded though.
Also, the EvoX's "weaving" isn't entirely a bug, it's the active yaw control being a bit hypersensitive, yes, but it's got a very valid explanation.
Wow, that's not a lot of gain for quite a lot of money then. And no, it's a bug, if it was hypersensitive then the car would simply veer drastically with the slightest steering input. This is having the steering dead straight and the car just weaves, plus none of the other Evos do it.
Hey!
I believe RJ has a 908 set up somewhere. I'll poke him a bit.
Thanks!
Do you guys still want the Enzo to tune?
I can send the car to either one of you.
I picked up a chrome one from someone else, aside from a quick drive I've not done anything with it really... But I can see I've definitely got my work cut out for me on that one.
908 will be coming soonish I think, I may just PM you the setup for now though.
Thanks!

Upload the images to abload.de?
They dont have any limitations.
No problemo!
Thanks for the 908 setup Rotary.
I will test it out and report back.
RKM Motorsports Gallardo LP710 Superleggera
I didnt have time to test out the 908 tune but i did use the tunes for Lexus LFA 2010 and Ferrari F430 Scuderia. I tested them both on Fuji Speedway GT.
Lets start with the LFA.
I bought this first because i was hyped since the release of the game.
I thought this would be a extremely nimble and responsive Japanese super car.
I was wrong. Clocking in at 530BHP, it sure is fast but the acceleration is slow and unexciting. For Fuji's smooth curves and sudden jerks of cornering, the slow acceleration hurt the lap time a bit.
Next, the handling is fairly fine. I was disappointed just because i was expecting a lot more. Compared to great handling cars such as RKM's crown jewel NSX, the LFA lacks a lot. Response and feedback is quite slow, steering at high speeds and the actual grip of the car is lost because there isnt any aero parts installed. At the big winding turn after turn 2 at Fuji, the LFA struggled to go fast. I have to lift a couple of times to stop the car from going onto the run-off area. Maybe the car and the tune itself is good but it didnt seem good in my book because i was expecting much more.
The lap time with LFA @ Fuji GT: 1.36.02X
Now, the Ferrari F430 Scuderia.
After testing the LFA for about 30 mins, the contrast of the performance between these two cars are quite bit. The Scuderia improved every aspects that arent very good with the LFA. The acceleration is immense from a 530BHP engine. The revs rise very quickly and satisfyingly. The change from 5th gear to 6th gear is surprisingly slow but the car is quick enough to eat up the whole pit straight of the Fuji Track just topping the top end of the 5th gear. The acceleration helped with many turns on Fuji, accelerating out of slow corners are extremely satisfying and felt like a great improvement upon the LFA.
The handling is also just as great. I was after the quick responsiveness and thats what i got with this tune. The car felt so much lighter than it actually is. Swinging itself into corners and hugging the apexes are easier than ever before. The car does what you tell it to do. It feels almost neutral and balanced. The rear always sticks onto the road unless you give the throttle too much power out of some slow corners. Most of the times it would never lose control unless you intentionally pushed it too far. Maybe because of the addition of front and rear aero parts, the car had a lot more high speed grip.
Lap time of F430 Scuderia @ Fuji GT: 1.34.00X
I enjoyed driving the Scuderia a lot more than any other cars from RKM apart from the NSX of course.
Definitely keep up the great work guys!
P.S. Excuse my English if its bad, English is not my main language.
Thanks for the review!
Aero is an issue for the LFA. There's none to buy so that's why there's none on the tune. I too love the LFA and was extremely excited to tune one in GT5, but it seems to be hurt too much by the lack of aero. That said I did try to calm it down and make it more manageable. It's only 2 seconds slower than the Scuderia so I think with aero it would actually be equal or a bit faster. 👍
I'll let RJ answer the points made about the F430.
Huge thanks for what is indeed a very good review.
As for the power dying; it's not so much a gearing problem as a turbo selection one. I find shifting at 6000rpm (very early, I know) to provide the best acceleration with the mid-range turbo. The high-RPM turbo would "fix" this, but it would change the entire feel of the car; I much prefer the bucket loads of torque that the mid-range turbo provides, not to mention that it's slightly quicker if you shift it at the right times.
I also quite like what you did with the styling.
With aero and more practice on Fuji Speedway, there is definitely a big room for improvement. But at this moment, im sticking with the F430.
EDIT: I've sent the Enzo to RojjieE just in case you havent noticed it.
I really enjoy your tunes, and have about five of them so far in my garage. One thing though, could you please fix the hotlinks on your first post? None of them go to the actual post of the car tune, and with so many posts in the thread, it's difficult to find the actual tune you're looking for.
Thanks
