RKM Motorsport - Tuned Tuners - May '13

Oi Roj, what tweaks should I do if I wish to run the Emperor IX on race softs without having it to bring an oversized lead skateboard all along?

(lol at recycling RJ's statement)
 
Be gentle or it might bite you :embarrassed:

Naw, I've driven Yellowbirds and untuned Enzos running max power. How bad could this be-LAHFIDSPGHSDSDKLSG!

Actually I haven't had the time to drive it yet. I have to wait until I get home this afternoon to do that. :indiff:

Well, it took a dragon to tame it ;)

Maybe I should get my Project Prpl back underway...
 
I recently hit the 7,000 item limit on GT5. I'm going to have to do a massive clean out soon. :scared:

Since I'm making a second post already, I would like to go ahead and mention that the suspension setup in Roj's GTR R32 build works perfectly fine in a maxed GTR R32. It's perhaps a bit stiff at times on the max build, but a tiny tap of the brakes clears that problem right up. With that suspension setup, my R32 put my 512BB to shame at Special Stage Route 5. Great work, RKM!
Good to hear. 👍
Hey you RKM types, its looking like my main sparring partner over in the Tuner Wars thread is not going to be able to get a tune up for the current Car of the Week because of real life scheduling. So how about one or more of you checking out my challenge and bringing a tune for a friendly little battle?:cheers:
I'll have a looky. :P
I might as well take the time to say that I've decided on my JDM car from now on to use in the drift seasonal events. The FD mentioned earlier, some standard 350Z I found, and the AE86 I got from XDesperado. If any of you beat my score at SSR5 it shall not last! Muwahaha! [/Off-Topic Crap]

Glad you managed to settle on 3 cars. We will see if it helps. :P

Softer rear, bump up the AYC a bit and that's probably it if you're keeping the power the same.
 
Another bump to the AYC. Honestly since you're using racing softs, you don't have to adjust much.

I see.

Man, this friend of mine still wants a better-handling Evo... I've resorted to using your suspension and LSD setup and he still isn't satisfied, that's why I'm asking you these questions :indiff:

Is he expecting too much or something?
 
Is he expecting too much or something?

I dunno.

I told him that all he can do is use a mechanical LSD. I wonder how he'll react to that.

Man this guy needs to learn how to get used to a car's handling instead of bitching, your tune does fine with some early turning and early braking :dunce:

Turn SRF on. :lol:
 
We'll see. :dopey: If he continues bitching then I'll tell him that it came from a knowledgeable tuner who doesn't turn the gear ratios all the way to the right. :lol:

All the way to the right? What's his top speed? 70mph? :dopey:

Yup. Only Myogi is stupid enough to do that. He also thinks that it's easy to get a full room with one person to begin with. Just don't bother helping him, he seems to think that because he's making a frickin' GT5 video means that he can bend the physics in the game to make it fit. Just do what I've been telling you to do and say deal with it.

Don't tell me bro.

I never bothered to bring that up again :lol:

It's actually 171mph, not bad for a 86, but the stupid thing was that the predicted top speed was set at 200+mph. The guy needs to learn, the car bogs off the line because of the slicks, it's not going to change regardless of how short 1st is…

:lol:

:lol:

That's the problem my Odyssey has. It bogs off the line because I don't want first gear to top out at 20mph. Damn 5-speeds. :grumpy:

Because I can't settle on one. :sly: I need to drive the XK Valentine still, although I need to test it at a better 500PP event. Trial Mountain is too easy. I've beaten that one in an Avantime, That little Daihatsu Kei car that you that you named Pikachu, a Prius, a fiat 500, and a Prius. Has anyone ever used it online for any 500PP racing? Because I want to see if it can touch my Renault Megane.

Wait...somebody complaining about an Evo's handling? On top of that, an Emperor tune's handling? I don't even...WHAT?! That's like complaining that a Veyron doesn't accelerate fast enough.

...That guy does understand what the pedal in the middle does and why it's important, right? RIGHT??? :scared:
 
Sadly, he forgot.

:grumpy: Dang you, NFS. (not you, Porsche Unleashed. You were legit)

Okay so I figure that I'll be fair and rate one car from each tuner as my first three reviews, then since I noticed it's "untested," I'll review the Enzo GT as my fourth. I only expect my Beetle 1200 to be turned into "The Salt Express" in return, for now. Of course, I'll write one of the reviews before I ask of that. :sly:

EDIT: Challenge complete! I tamed your crazy Zonda, Dragonthing. Not only that, but it ate my R35 at Spa. (there was a 6 second difference between their lap times)

What about Most Wanted? I liked that one.

Most Wanted was great for fun factor. Porsche Unleashed (at least the PC version) had the most realistic handling out of them all though. Heck, I still play Porsche Unleashed now and again when I'm bored. It's so old that I had to boot in safe mode to install it on a 64-bit Windows 7 OS, but it's still a great game.

Yes, it does have the most realistic handling. Also can't forget the original hot pursuit. I play that now and again.

Most Wanted is my second favourite NFS of all time. First being Underground. :D
Ah, the memories. When I didn't understand why the Eclipse kept turning itself into the wall at the beginning of drag races, (Torque steer) I thought underglow lights were cool, and the tires were octogons.

What underglow lights aren't cool?:odd::crazy::embarrassed:

The Skyline was the worst when it came to that. It just bolted to the left or right. The AI would usually just smack into a wall right after. :lol:

My guilty pleasure is underglow. I think it looks good when it's suitable, like on a VIP-style car or a drift car. :embarrassed:
