RKM Motorsport - Tuned Tuners - May '13

UPDATE: WHAAAAA! I did 0.53.506 with my own retarded setup on a RX-7 TC on Tsukuba :D

I like how PD times their maintenance so that I can't do the trials immediately after I come home. :irked:

Although I've hardly been playing GT5 as it is.

This. Of all the times... A rare day I'm home alone, and BANG, maintenance. 👎

Yep. I just happen to miss school on the day that new seasonals are up.

Both times were well within the top 30 at one point...hell my drift trial came in at 17th when I first set it :dopey: now though...there is not enough rabies and napalm to deal with the kids in Speed 12s...

I'm 1 second behind you at Eiger.. using the same car! :lol:
 
GT86 domination at Clubman, done. Leaf domination at Kart Space, done. Now I need a rally car of some sort for the last 2 events...

My Evo will still eclipse it though... :sly:

Only 1 second behind NascarManiaco's Evo Super on my first and only lap, I'm happy with that.

I only put effort into the drift trials remember. :P I couldn't care less about who can cheese round the track the best. :sly:

Edit: Seems the Escort is pretty good at drifting around Eiger, but apparently none of you lot have bothered to do that one so I can't see if it really is good or not. :P

What times are we chasing here?

I'm at 1:08.something and like 2,385th or so with my Focus....
Not that I can actually compete with any of you mind.:crazy::lol:
 
Never mind got reconnected and I'm about half a second behind Dragonthing with a 1:07.879 now using my Focus.

Question anyone else getting an invalid lap msg when starting a second or subsequent lap? Keep getting it here and I'm in the middle of the track just before the jump.:odd:

Review​

So, here's the review I promised. First let's see some stats:

Stock:
Car: ......... Subaru LEGACY TOURING WAGON 3.0R '03
Power: ..... 257 HP/7000 RPM
Torque: .... 234 ft-lb/4000 RPM
Weight: .... 1480 KG
P/W Ratio: . 5.67 Kg/HP
PP: ........... 423
Tires: ........ Comfort Soft

This car started his life as a plain looking Subaru, not knowing what awaited it...

There's not much to say about this car when stock, but is is actually a better ride than most would expect.
Some understeer here and there, but nothing unmanageable.
The transmission is maybe what slows it down, but I think it is okay because of its more comfort-oriented nature.

Test results:
0-400m ................................... 0:15.092
0-1000m ................................. 0:27.253
0-100 Km/h ............................. 0:06.868
0-200 Km/h ..... (Trap speed was 195 Km/h)
Max. Speed ............................. 255 Km/h
Max. G-force ................................ 0.69G

Nordschleife lap:
Time ............ 9:09.997
Fuel used ........ 9 Liters
Tire wear . Unnoticeable

Now, after some of your magic, and a new look, this becomes more than just a plain looking Subaru... And its performance isn't plain, either.

Car: ......... RKM Motorsport’s Subaru Legacy 3.0STi Touring
Power: .............................................. 397 HP/7900 RPM
Torque: .......................................... 320 ft-lb/5400 RPM
Weight: ......................................................... 1233 KG
P/W Ratio: .................................................. 3.05 Kg/HP
PP: ...................................................................... 498
Tires: ........................................................ Sports Soft

*Note: I'm running with the transmission set at 330 Km/h. Before you yell me for being stubborn, there is a reason for this, which I'll get to later on the review.

Here's where things get fun:

0-400m ................................... 0:11.934
0-1000m ................................. 0:21.715
0-100 Km/h ............................. 0:03.769
0-200 Km/h ............................. 0:13.056
Max. Speed ............................. 299 Km/h
Max. G-force ................................ 1.16G

In general, the car is very responsive, very smooth. I can recommend this tune for beginners.
The acceleration is actually pretty decent and constant, due to the generous powerband.
It is very agile on the mid and mid-high speed corners.

NrburgringNordschleife_4.jpg


There's still some understeer on the slowest corners, and high-speed sweepers, but mostly because of the long wheelbase...

NrburgringNordschleife_14.jpg


... It can be the fun kind of understeer, though. :mischievous:

NrburgringNordschleife_15.jpg


Nordschleife lap:
Time ................. 7:57.282
Fuel used ........... 12 Liters
Tire wear ... About 90% left

Online performance.

This car is perfect for 500pp racing, although the hardest part was finding one room that ran on Sport Softs. The car's feel is pretty much the same than offline.

Needless to say, I smoked them :sly:. Beat them all on the standing start, and on half a lap, they were away from my mirror sight.

An added bonus was the "OMG WTF HOW THAT BEA,NER BEAT MAH ELISE WITH A 🤬 WAGON??!!!" effect :lol:.

Room for improvement?

Well, some:

To preserve the nice handling characteristics, a chassis restoration must be performed after each race, otherwise it becomes a bit of a pig. This might become expensive, if you don't do much seasonal grinding. Maybe a rollcage might come handy.

Remember when I said I ran an auto gearbox instead of the method RJ asked me to follow? Well, the reason is because it becomes a bit harder to handle with shorter gears. It might be the LSD, the thick powerband, the VCD, or the suspension settings (or just me and my DS3), but you might want to check on that.


Bonus: This tune also works on the 2.0 turbo wagon. But in none of the sedans (because of the big difference in weight distribution).

OVERALL: 9/10

And I'm a 1000pts ahead of both of you! :dopey:

I'm not even gonna try to beat yall, my drifting skills suck. I can't make more than 1200+ points in sectors 2 and 3 and more than 700 in sector 5. In compensation, I can make 2500 points in sector 1 and 4000 in the last sector.
