I was screwing around last night with this car and decided to go ahead and add the turbo 4 I think it was. With the turbo 2 upgrade and 3 upgrade I was able to get settings for the car to run excellent. Now with the extra power, this car is becoming very hard to control at this point. Does anyone have some LSD setting for me that will help out. Here is what happens with the car

Low speed corners - perfect entering
- mad oversteer ( I mean mad) on exits
mid to high speed - slightly too much oversteer on entry
- too much oversteer on exit
 
Well I see that no one is interested in this subject. Or at least no one cares for this car
 
That car was never built for that much hp (what is it 600hp?) so its chassis is never going to put the power down properly. You have just wasted your money on a car that was designed to compete with the Prelude of the late 80's and take college girls to school. I wouldn't bother tweaking it because it will never be right. All you can do is *****-foot the throttle until you straighten out and then stomp on it.
 
I understand that this car never was intended to deliver this much power. Considering the fact that the S13 has pratically no rear weight, I was trying to master this car. I figured that the only way that I would be able to master this car was to start with it and tune the suspension and nothing else. Step 1 complete. Then add a little power and do some weight reduction. After that re-tune the car so it would be able to drift again. Step 2 complete. After all the drivetrain tuning and the final gadgets for it, I retuned it once again and ended with over 300hp. That right there would be around the ideal hp for this car if you were to in fact tune this in real life. But, I wanted to take it a step further. I am figuring there has got to be a way to max out the power in this car and still make it driveable. Maybe it is a lost cause, but it is something to try. By the way 12sec., I really don't think it was a waste of money, it actually was a fun experiment.

Car to compete with the late 80's prelude? Tak college girls to school? I think someone's been in the Dealer part of GT3 and reading one too many car descriptions, lol. Obviously you dont know a good drift car. The S13 is an excellent drift car. Go to Japan and see what most people drift with. It's either the silvia's (s12, s13, s14, and s15's), RX-7's (fc's, fd's), or POS truenos and Levins. Don't knock it till u try it. I own a 1993 Nissan s13 240sx and it owns drifting =). Try to drift a front wheel drive car in real life....UGGH lol. Well that was just my 2cents.
 
The Prelude is a great car except for one minor thing that I personally don't like. It is the fact that it is wrong wheel drive. In a straight race, the prelude would probably take the S13 with minor mods on both of them. But after modding the suspesion and getting the same driver to race both cars that is equally talented in wrong wheel drive and rear wheel drive, I would have to say if the course has many technical turns, the S13 would take it. But that is all stipulation there, and until it is actually done, I can't prove that. I guess that really boils down to personal opinion.
