Thanks for the review! It's definately more of a Deep Forest/Trial Mountain sort of car. I think flatter tracks like Spa can show the weakness of AYC a fair bit. But yeah thanks for the detailed feedback, it comes in handy when it comes to fixing the tunes. 👍
I'll look into the gearbox and the brakes. It could be that I've made a typo in the ratios or I'm just used to how it is, but yeah I'll look into it and try and fix it. 👍
Edit: Just realised you're talking about online. It may just be because I tuned the car offline that the brakes are an issue. Also 6th kicks in at 160mph-ish which is reasonable for an Evo... Perhaps it is just a typo.
HighlandorWas at Spa tonight dialiing in some 530pp cars for tomorrow night's meet - got bored of seeing everyone in the usual so I pulled out the RKM IX and a mate pulled his own tuned IX for some runs.
I think you're right about the AYC on these sort of tracks, the car felt so much better with a custom diff. Be interesting to compare this on the more twisty circuits.
I stiffened the dampers and springs a bit (rear alot - now 8.5), took off some rear camber and front toe and it started feeling pretty good around Spa.
This is isn't to "retune" your car / tune, just thought 'd mention it incase this helped at some point in the future.
Around those middle twisty bits of Spa it definately surprised a few guys driving the 'best' cars in the series. I don't run any aero on my 530pp cars, most others in the 530pp series don't either, cut the aero off and use the PP saved to improve power to weight ratio.
The IX was a beast coming out of some of those corners, easiliy temporarily pulling a bit away from the estabilshed top cars.
Gonna have a look at your other EVO tunes either tomorrow or Thursday. As always, great work from you guys Roj & Kyle 👍
Cant wait to see Rotary's tune for the rx-7 tc assuming he is going to do one.
I've already done this with the CR-Z, Prius and Challenger, but the Evo X got an Emperor title. It's under "Emperor's Guard". 👍When you guys entitle the setups for the TC cars, would you please denote them with a TC?
Searching for "Pinkee's Purple Snake". Am I missing it or is there not a setup for the Viper ACR?
My daughter (Pinkee) were farting around on Spa and she went sifting through my cars. All I heard was "IT'S PURPLE!!!". Next thing I know she's trying to kill all of the mosquitos around Spa with tire smoke! The car was bone stock with Sport Hards on it!
And now I have to paint the Prius TC matte pink to match "The Pig" (Veyron).
Everything is better in purple!

I have an ACR somewhere around the forum, but it's not a Spec 2 tune and it's not here at RKM. I'd have to go find it if you want it, but as I said it's not a Spec 2 tune so it wouldn't be very helpful.
Your daughter has great taste. Everything is better in purple!
I'm sure Famine has taught many of us that.
Roj, I took screenshots of your TC tunes. I'll try them later today.
What difference does it make with the tranny by setting the Max Speed and then the other gears?

Ok, that makes sense.
Did Sony give us a 2nd bonus car? I have a GTR LM ticket that cannot be gifted. What do you guys know of this car?
Onboy123Which GTR? The R(ubbish)35 or the R33 Nismo Road car? If it's the crapbox R35, it costs over 1 million so can't be gifted.
Here's my ACR settings, as I said they're not Spec 2 but some things like the LSD will still work.The Viper doesn't have to be "fast" just stable. She's 11 and does have some skill when she focuses (and isn't playing Sims 3 or LBP!). So, she's not a total noOb.
How would you feel about separating the TC cars in your own tune group? Would be easier to find.
I think gold would look better for the wheels.Simply putting the Snake on a diet, throwing on super stickies, and the fixed suspension helped a bunch. 700+ horsepower with Sport Hards ugh!!!
Wonder if she'd like the wheels pink, already painted the Ray's white. Can't paint the body, the stripe will be lost.
What's the deal with Famine and purple?

o_RED_NECK_oNow before everyone jumps down my throat about how much you hate the GT-R R35, I know that this car brings up extreme emotions. It's one of those cars that is either loved or hated with not too many people hanging out in the middle.
I used Dragonthing's "N24 Fanboi Express" tune on fully tuned GT-R R35 TC and man did this thing fly. I know that Dragonthing is planning on tuning this car herself but I think she has tuned it perfectly without ever driving it.
I definatly think that you should keep "Express" in the name somewhere, as the car pulls like a train and corners like its on rails.
I managed to beat my personal best time on Trial Mountain by just over 5 seconds. My best time previously was 1:22:6XX in a fully modded 2010 Camero RM "Deathsycthe" (With RKM Suspension/Gearbox/LSD/Brakes). The GT-R R35 TC managed it in 1:17:5XX.
Now I know that these may not be blistering fast times to some of you, but I should point out I use a DS3 and just this I switched my accelerator and brakes from X and Square to R2 and L2 and am still getting used to it. The Camaro time was set over a month ago.
I also know that the GT-R R35 TC has more power, however there is only a difference off 40pp. So thats 1.25 seconds/10 pp.
Maybe I need to go back and do more laps in my Camaro, but I know the is a quicker time in the R35, I only did 3 laps....
Great job Dragonthing, whether you planned it this way or not, you have created a gem.
I encourage everyone who has the DLC cars to give this car a lot, I think it will make you smile, I know I am!
DaveTheStalkerI'm looking forward to the TC setups. The R35 feels really heavy in "out of the box" form with super stickies on it. I'll try Dragon's GTR N24 setup.
And no LSD is quite surprising.
My fastest in the GTR TC with all mods EXCEPT turbos and stock setup was 1'23.0xx. With Dragon's setup (with 25/75 torque) was 1'21.7xx.
When you guys entitle the setups for the TC cars, would you please denote them with a TC?
Stage 3 engine and no turbos is 727HP. Stage 1 Turbo is 774. 1'20.6xx
Stage 2 Turbo is 802 1'20.3xx
Stage 3 Turbo is 880 1'19.7xx
As this car is breaking in, it is more apparent that not ACTUALLY having an LSD severely limits it's capabilities when powering through and out of corners.
Please, you gotta send me that car. I've been unable to find it. I only have the 2.0. Can I PM you some offers?Subaru Legacy STi Touring

Rotary JunkieFirst one to touch my Legacy and you didn't even mention I forgot the gearing.
The ratios aren't listed because I goofed, I left it alone because I didn't feel like fixing them until someone called me on it. Otherwise sounds about right. I'll be fixing that some time after I wake up, should help a bit on straights in general. It's not a very special acting car but I wasn't expecting it to be after my first few laps in it.
@Onboy: Yeah all sounds about right. And what I mean by it not having enough grip is exactly that... It is pitiful in terms of how little grip it actually has. Combine that with the weight balance and no matter what is done the natural balance will be toward understeer.
Edit: The 3.0R is betterererer. Mainly the sound.
VTiRojSpeaking of GT-R's, I'll be releasing 2 tonight. As well as the secret X1999 car and an M3!
