Acura Integra review
Is this car even a FF anymore?It turns so smoothly and without understeer that it feels like a 4wd w/o understeer.It has great brakes and not to much power.

Thanks for the review! I hoped that it would impress people and I guess it has. 
Also, I'm sorta back after being inactive for a long while. First I was away from home for a month then I had relatives round for a couple of weeks. But I'm actually here now and I'll try to go back to my over-active self.

Sorry I've never gotten around to reviewing that IT250. When I play GT4, I go through successive periods of obsession and indifference to the game. Presently I'm playing huge amounts of Enthusia, but I think I'll be back onto GT4 within the weekend, because Enthusia's aimless feel to the racing is really beginning to reveal itself to me.
Basically: I'll be back pretty soon.
Peace.

Sounds good mate.Since my PS2 has oddly stopped being a 🤬 since I got enough cash to replace it, I should have a Mazda 6 done soonish and maybe a few new cars as well.

Green Goblin Review
Recently, I was lucky enough to be invited over to Japan to test RVV Motor Works, Green Goblin RX-7. On the basis, purchasing any FC RX-7 is a sensible choice, Light weight, Turbocharged Sports car for only $8,000, Who could say no.
This wasn't any average RX-7 I was going to test though, this has been taken by Vince at RVV and amped up to an even higher level. 387 HP, 0-60 in 5.9 seconds, only 1050kg. These figures are enough to make anyone weak at the knees. I was very anxious to try it out.
I arrived at Japan early and meet up with a good friend who allowed me to borrow his car, a stock RX-7 FC, just the thing I needed for today to see what the Goblin would deliver over the stock FC. Driving in traffic I notice the power wasn't too bad and in traffic the ride was acceptable. Having arrived for our test location early I decided to chuck a quick couple of laps around the Toykyo R246. This gave me a good enough impression on what the stocker is like, little bit laggy in terms of acceleration but quite a competent car to go toe to toe against its rivals, the MR2 Turbo and Nissan S13 Silvia.
I pulled into the pit just in time, for Vince had arrived with 3 support vans and my test mule, the Green Goblin. Without any small talk, He chucked me the keys and I set off, in a pile of white smoke. In first gear the engine is pretty gutless until about 4500RPM when the turbo starts the cut in, this car can recycle rubber to the tune of only 425BHP. I hit the track and found that this was a very different animal to a Stock FC, would it be even right to call this an FC, it truly is a Goblin and a very quick one at that. The gearbox in near fantastic, in first it will burn rubber into mid corners, catch it and you can smoke the tyres all the way up to 5th. I love the way it has short ratios for tight tracks and a higher 6th for tracks with long straights.
The handling is very much a throwback toward the Initial D days of the white comet of Akagi. To get the best out of this car you need to slide it, a quick flick and the rear is out and your bending around the corner. Keeping the wheel's spinning into a corner and your treated with the most incredible angled drifts ever seen.
After 5 laps of Tokyo I though I had the hang of it but in reality, I didn't have a clue. My lap times where all over the place, but having said that the Goblin managed a faster lap time over the FC by 10 seconds.
This car is amazing, perfectly neat racing lines aren't the key to success, the car understeers way to much for that. The secret to speed is in the slide. It is mad and insane and all of it makes sense
Power: 10/10
Your never wanting for power, it has tonnes of it.
Transmission: 8/10
Wheelspin, Usually very hard to get of the line
Suspension 7/10
Depends how you take it on, try to drive neat and its no good, sliding is the key
Total 9/10:- Damn good car, No question

So, as suiting my promise, I am presently building...
MFT's pair of enduro cars.
Got a few cars you'd particularly like reviewed here? I'm still interested in that Civic VTi, but if you've got other cars you'd ecspecially like reviewed, throw them up here and I might just have something to say about them.
That said, don't expect anything like the Devil Z reviews. They were only as good as that because they had incredibly rich backstory and fantastically good dynamic abilities (terrifying and lovely).
Also, I noticed you mentioned my review in the first post
. Flattered, I am.
Finally: Typing has become so hard! I've not typed any reviews in ages, this'll take a while before I can type well again! Oh well...

Hell, trust me, typing accurately has become a bear for me... Damn MMOs.
Now then... ZETO / NIJUUHACHI could use a run from me, I believe Roj's Chevelle could use a review, and I haven't seen much for any of Vince's cars, so pick what you'd like most to drive again.

I'm presently driving the Civic VTi, and it is quite different from what I expected, I'm not sure what to make of it. It's a scary car! Though, I have slightly overpowered mine by giving it oil change... Expect me to say more, if not perhaps a huge review.I'm not a fan of muscle cars, and a high-power Chevelle definitely isn't my cup of tea. Your Camaro though, is a bit smaller and possibly worth considering a test of. Tell me, would it be worth driving it?
And actually, I think I built Vince's Escort a while ago, and never got around to driving it!

It's worth driving most definitely, (damn fun) but perhaps not as quick as more modern vehicles as would be somewhat expected.
From MSN with Roj when he drove it: "This is not a Camaro!" "Eh? What do you mean?" "It's some Japanese car with the body of a Camaro!"
So yeah, have fun.

Civic VTi
The 1979 Civic is basically a quiet car in Gran Turismo, just another low-power hatch in the inevitable 'undesirable' section resulting from any diverse selection of cars. The most notable thing about this car was its brief appearance in the underrated Hollywood movie Pulp Fiction. However, modification can apparently bring power up to epic levels for such a featherweight car, hardly any heavier than a Suzuki Cappuccino. It's got high power/weight ratio on its side, and it uses it terrifyingly in spirited driving.
On the car's initial test-run at Seattle, the thing I noticed was the little hatchback's incredible brakes. Barreling up to the first corner, an alarming right-angled hairpin after a fast straight, applying normal braking technique to this lean -and quite mean- stopping machine left me with about 50 feet after I've finished braking enough to clear the corner. The brakes on this car are absolutely incredible, undoubtedly a result of the car's rare combination of large tyres and no actual mass to speak of. In an actual race, passing two people while braking for one corner wouldn't be improbable, and three wouldn't be impossible. I didn't know brakes like this existed outside the JGTC.
If you do get the timing right, you'll lift off the brakes and hurl the car sideways, to find the stiff suspension not terribly upset at you (the car not standing on its nose). The car's hindquarters will push out very slightly, very urgently, in the frentic, passionate afterparty to the brakefest. The oversteer discreetly vanishes as you approach the corner's exit, where you'll find that throttle control is vital here. Wheelspin isn't difficult to avoid at all, but it still must be actively avoided, Lest Ye Spin Thy Tyres For Days On End! The car feels fast in the straightaways, if overmatched by air resistance at high speeds (it has both the style and aerodynamics of a brick), and it's generally a pleasant balance of abilities.
So, you've navigated through the hairpin pretty quickly, with a moderate amount of drama (drama, from both car and driver), and you gun it as you shortcut over the candy canes in the pointy left-hander following it. The car jumps, and you head straight into the outside guardrail. Okay, you think, big curbs on tight streets are a no-no. You apply the same technique to the next left-hander, since it's a low curb and a wide road. The car jumps, you leap off the gas and barely save it from the wall. Shortly afterwards, the car sails gloriously over the two jumps (acceptable) and on the entry and exit curbs on the following right-hander (not acceptible). More than just curbs, though, this car seeks out microscopic surface irregularities in the road and uses them as opportunities to spin its wheels and dart about alarmingly mid-turn (and remember, it's light, so it can dart.). As a result, it is about the most graceless car ever.
Okay, you think, but this beast of a car, with its confusingly good brakes and stubbornly unyielding suspension, is insanely fast in the turns, and fun in the straights as well. You take it to a place where it's firmly* in its element: the smooth, twisty racetrack of Grand Valley Speedway, and you lay down a time. You expect this psychotic car to be in the 2:05's, with the S2000s and the sportscars, and the actual time is ludicrous: two minutes and fifteen seconds.
Slow has never felt so fast.
...
Before I typed this review, I was going to request that you do something about the... aerial tendencies of this car, but I think that would miss the point. Yes, this car would technically benefit from a spoiler or a lower spring rate/mass ratio, but it doesn't really seem like this car is actually going for engineering excellence. This car is meant to be an old-school brawler, to fight with and against the driver, to turn a time trial around cheery Motorland into a truly hairy-chested experience. This oversprung car gets jumpy at even the tiniest road irregularity, but, symetrically, it's got a constant fascination with the road surface and it shares everything it discovers about the tarmac with its driver(/pilot). It will kill you at the drop of a hat, though it will be incredibly exciting when no hatdropping is occurring.
Viewed clinically as an automobile, as a technical exercise, this car is absolutely terrible. But as a car, as an experience, as a living, breathing thing with a heart and soul? Nothing comes close. VTiRoj, you are an artist among engineers. Thus I don't hesitate to give your car a hearty and well-deserved X /100!
*Yes, that's a pun.
P.S.: I had to use all my willpower to try not to turn the Pulp Fiction thing into a colourful backstory. I tried to, but it was hilariously bad.

Uhm, wow. What a review, or is it a novel?
I never expected the Civic to provoke such a... yeah, such a review. Actually I didn't know it was in Pulp Fiction so I've learned something today.
The brakes are very strong, I agree. It's probably the only bit of the car that actually works for racing. But yeah, I can't say much, your review sums up the car completely. Even though it might not be that good as a car, I'm glad it's good enough to deserve a review like that.
I guess the least I can say now is thanks for the review, and more thanks for the artist comment, that warmed me up inside a lot.👍
Oh and by the way, how much is X worth?

It's not necesarily good as much as interesting. Either way, though, I liked it nonetheless. It's really an unusual setup and car, so I felt I had to explain completely what was so different about it.The brakes are very strong, I agree.

And, yeah, the 'artist' thing was supposed to be ambiguous, and I guess you got the more positive connotation.But I'm still confused: How did you make such a slow car feel so fast? I'm pretty sure it's running with Cappuccinos, but it just sizzles with menace.

I've got another request: A Toyota Vitz. I don't see them around much, but I don't know why, exactly. They're good enough to be tuned into something great.
I don't know which Vitz I'd like, but I was drawn in by the overachieving numbers of the unmodified Vitz RS Turbo. For a subcompact car, or indeed any car, 150hp, at 100hp/litre, in a car weighing 980 kg is a great place to start. I drove the RS Turbo, and only the RS Turbo, and it feels like it needs tuning, but could be lovely, if one spent time to polish it's turning. I ended up fully modifying all 4 Vitzes to see what their full-mod stats look like, to make sure I don't miss an obviously better Vitz while I chase after the prestige of the RS Turbo.
The very budgety Vitz F has 166 hp and 746 kilos, but it needed turbo to reach that 166. The Vitz U Euro Sport Edition has 215 hp and 773 kilos with turbo applied, but remove that and you get a lovely NA power curve and still 190 hp. The Vitz RS 1.5 has 221 hp and 855 kilos with NA power from the engine. Finally, the Vitz RS Turbo has got 262 hp and 891 kilos in full tune.
It's fairly clear that high power and high weight have relationship within the Vitz lineup, so it's not a matter of which is undeniably fastest; it's more complicated than that. I'll leave it to the tuner to decide which one is best, as I won't be able to drive all of them, and I may, even then, miss something. It seems like the Vitz F is definitely out, because it's very weak and still is using turbo, not to mention the dull styling, so I'm leaning away from that. The others, I'm equally supportive of, the lighter but weaker Euro, the suprisingly powerful -yet unturboed, and, indeed, unturboable- Vitz RS 1.5, or the most powerful, yet heftiest, RS Turbo.
I'd like the car to be effective, as opposed to mad, and I'd prefer NA to Turbo, even in the Euro. S3 Tyres are favourable, and I imagine that won't be a problem at all for you guys. Whomever takes this request, please test all 3 worthy Vitzes (I honestly can't imagine there's anything redeeming about the F) thoroughly enough to decide which is best, then tune that... well, you know what happens from then on (I hope
).
I liked the RS Turbo initially because it had numbers belonging to a better car than it, and it was pretty severely overqualified for its class of cars. Whatever Vitz whomever chooses, I ask for that tendency to prevail.

Vitz/Yaris is indeed a good platform for hot microhatch. it can handle all possible power you can throw at it on S3's. been there, done that. It's pretty much Japanese version of Lupo GTi when it comes to performance. in other words, stock Vitz/Yaris beats 200bhp+ Alfa Romeos and Hondas, just like Lupo.

I have no idea myself. It just sort of happened.
I have auto-save and I've never been corrupted. My tip is to turn off the PS2 10-15 seconds after it's stopped saving. I do this for all games and consoles too. 👍
I've only ever driven a Yaris once, for the Yaris races. It was the RS 1.5 but this was back when I was slightly less educated about car settings so it was running default driving aids and I just stuck silly power into it.
I'll go look at the Yaris line-up now though. See what I can do.

Sorry guys, I've been away for a while. I've seen a great review of one of my slippier cars, and I would like to thank Camryfan for his great review! The Green Goblin sure is crazy at times, a whole lot different compared to the other two cars in our shop. If you like, you can test drive the other two also, giving you a nice trio of FC madness.
------------------------------------
On the other hand, Next week last year of high school starts. Therefore I think it's best for my exams to quit being a RVV member...
Don't worry, I'll be back when GT5 finally releases!
Ps. We do have a special event coming up, which will be my last effort for RVV as a full member of the shop.
To be continued...

It was my pleasure really and another thank you for reviewing one of my cars.
Good luck with the last year of highschool and make sure you still hang around the forums!
Review of Roj's Chevvele
Grip Racing.
This car WILL NOT stay for you. You don't train it. It trains you. I slide all over the place. and don't slam the throttle or you will be burning tons of rubber.
5/10
Drifting
A amazing drifter. It will slide all over. And thats what you want. Its faster the any Silva could be or any other drifter. I think I got me a new drifter.

I like that. (bit in bold)
Yeah, a supercharged muscle car on S3s isnt going to grip unless you treat the throttle with care, but sideways it does do well!
Thanks for the review.
👍Edit: EA11R, just so you know, I haven't forgotten about the Yaris. It's just taking a while to get it to a state where I'm happy with it.
Also I got a bit sidetracked by a couple of new tunes I got cooking.
