The car you just sent me, is it finished or was it sent back because of the paint issue?

Also, tried out the Indy A, will post a review soon

All finished! I hope it was a fun car to tune, and I hope it is faster and more stable...well, as stable as 530bhp on S3s is going to get

Good luck!

Thanks, although I doubt I'll need it, I trust all my faith in you

Now you mention it, I think I only counted 5 cylinders when I put them back in...and there was a spare steering wheel too, I doubt you'll need it though

I'm sure it'll still be able to do a few laps of Nurburgring without a bother without them, so yeah, I'll be grand

Edit: One more thing, was the TCS meant to be 5 or 0?

 

[DeanoM50810]

Dragonthing, well done, you deserve a standing ovation.

Your tune just kicked Midnight Z's ass by beating it by half a second around the track that thing can be wild when it wants to be, but it's still an awesome tune nice one 👍

Huzzah! I had a few panicked moments when I adjusted things but in the end I am glad it's how you wanted it and it is definitely wild! Luckily I had a few laps in both my M3 CSL and GTR to prepare me for it

Tuner Comments:
It's back in black, with a shiny S on the name too...hey look, I'm a naming genius! It's my good old 4200R, on squishy sports tyres this time. With a nice rumbly V8 and plenty of torque, this mad concept will propel you and it's fax machine to insane speeds, all while sliding sideways

Great tune. This thing steers like it's on rails and when it oversteers it stays in control. Great job.

Thanks! the most sensible yet sideways fun you can have

RKM Motorsport’s C63 AMG

I was looking for a new daily driver and i was looking for something fast and comfortable. So i bought a Benz. 👍 So my daily needed to have stock weight, almost stock looks, decent wheels and good power.

What i did:
chipped it, racing filter, sports catalyst, full suspension, dual plate clutch, sports soft.
Broke it in, 530hp.

Result: brutal power and a wonderfull exhaust note. Nice carbon lip up front and put on the BBS's and chrome silvered those b*tches.
Gave it a custom blue-ish Mercedes colour.

I was fiddeling around with the suspension but i couldnt get the grip i needed. So i came here, saw the tune, copied the settings and it turned out really great!

Due to the weight and the power it is still quite slippery. I dont have the spoiler on the back because it looks awful 👎 so i do miss some downforce. But i dont care it wins races, its comfortable and it looks gorgeous. What could get any better? Thnx!

Has anyone done a tune for the MX5 Roadster TC? If so, I can't find it in the mobile friendly listing.

Thanks! I don't like the spoiler either. It's getting removed if I retweak this one for Spec 2.

RJ is taking care of it. Can't give you an ETA or anything though.

I said I'd do this, so here we go...

Review for Indy A

A stock R33 has been parked in my garage for quite a while now. That was before I finally decided to tune it into the Indy A. It actually turned out rather impressive when I took it around the track. This is how it got on.


Eifel (Circuit)_5 by DeanoM50810, on Flickr

Up first was a slight right turn leading to the first corner. The car stuck onto the road very well and before it had reached the corner, its speed was in the 180's, which was rather impressive.


Eifel (Circuit)_6 by DeanoM50810, on Flickr

Up next were very thin roads with a variation of of sharp and easy corners. While very careful throttle control was critical for keeping it on the road and performing a perfect lap, the Indy A still managed to do rather well.


Eifel (Circuit)_8 by DeanoM50810, on Flickr

Up next was a downhill part which leads to a huge uphill section. The Indy A reached some neat speeds going downhill and was still able to maintain them while going uphill.


Eifel (Circuit)_14 by DeanoM50810, on Flickr

The next (and final) part were wide roads and high-speed corners. No problems were encountered here, and the Indy A flowed through the corners with ease.


Eifel (Circuit)_20 by DeanoM50810, on Flickr

And then the Indy A dashed across the line with a impressive time of 2:33.474.

In conclusion, this is a very good tune which combines speed with drivability. I would recommend this tune to anyone who hasn't tried it yet.

Tuner Comments:
The EP Civic Type R still considered as the best hatchback-based Civic Type R, even 10 years after it’s introduction and it’s not hard to see why. This Type RS then, is truly a case of saving the best until last.

Fits all the EP chassis Civic’s. Transmission settings may vary.

 

[Dragonthing]

Damn you Roj! I should have my sexy old school V12 and my super Scooby up to go with yet another Civic...shame I don't like the EP at all or I would try it out

Guess I shouldn't come visit then.

You have a EP Civic? Or are you just saying you really like it?

 

[Dragonthing]

Too many EP Type Rs have died here in this scummy town, I can't take the sight of them... 🤬 chavs...

 

[VTiRoj]

I have an EU Civic, which is a 5-door EP.

When Roj tunes all of the Civic generations, I'm sure a very notable achievement shall be unlocked.

Including or excluding CR-X's?

I think the only generation of Civic I've not tuned is the '79 model, which is my next little project. I tuned the '83 as a request and the '87 Motul seems to be happy with my original EK9 settings.

What, is out gonna be called the 'V-TEC just kicked y0!' achievement or something?

And unless you didn't buy it, there was a 70's Civic in the last OCD.

"My Little Civic: VTEC is Magic"

I know, I bought one then realised I already had a 0 mile '79 Civic, so now I have 2!
