Seasonal Tuning Challenge 2 :It's over. Thanks for coming :D

[CSLACR]

Cases do happen that are beyond our control, but if the services are done immediately prior to placing the car on share it minimizes the likelihood of them occurring.
Also since your saying power loss on new oil doesn't occur until 140miles when does the oil light come on?
If it doesn't come on until 140+miles have been reached then I could drive the car 139miles and place it on share with it still showing me having good oil. Yes its on the tuner if their car has power loss due to bad oil or whatever but servicing a car first takes less than a minute and should make everyone's lives easier and more pleasant.👍👍

As I said, over 3,000 miles until the oil light will come on and power loss begins.

All I'm saying is enforcing an oil change provides nothing that just enforcing a lack of an oil light doesn't.

Make bob drive it until it suffers permanent power loss or find a higher mileage one and your problem is solved.

Which is where the alternative leads...
The final result of the two is the same, an eligible car that doesn't lose power. One option takes the tuner hours of b-specing to go around the rules, one option makes life easier for tuners, without affecting testers.

Question: do we have to record this and put a video up on YouTube? Or do we just type our times down?

Type it down or show us a video from YouTube on to this thread but most people type their times down then showing it in a video

Or enter a new car that is even faster!

Or put a good tune in it

I'd like to sign up as a tester, please.

(only just saw this thread, wish I'd seen it earlier so I could also be a tuna)

@CSLACR what?

 

[VTiRoj]

I do believe that is tuna.

 

[shmogt]

Ok I got a new car. 5 HP and 60kg less than my Del Sol plus a tinny bit faster times, what car could it be, hmmmm lol. As far as the due date is concerned for me the 30th is tomorrow and it is 8:51pm right now. Do I have roughly 3hrs left to get the tune in (since it will be the 30th) or do I have till the end of the 30th?

Till the end of the 30th, or 27 hours left.

Ok nice than I will have time to upload the tune

You still have time to be a tuna, but for now you are a tester 👍

Tuna you are

Sorry for the confusion shmo, you take as much time as you need. Sorry

I'd like to use the GMT... but all tuners have untill the end of the 30th in there time zone... it's easier.


Tuners have been updated, as are the testers (start when you can please).

Sorry for my lack of responses, and not quickly updating. I was only expecting a small turn out, not 18 tuners, and 7 testers ( all in two weeks ). Please bare with me, and thanks to the GTP family for helping answer questions when I can't. I owe you all A LOT!!!!!!

Have a great shootout everybody

 

[Michelin]

When testing, can I post like this:

"X Car from Y tuner.
Lap 1: x:xx.xxx
Lap 2: x:xx.xxx
Lap 3: x:xx.xxx
Lap 4: x:xx.xxx
Lap 5: x:xx.xxx
Total Time: x:xx.xxx"

or do I need to post any feedback?

Feedback is always welcome and encouraged... but this was supposed to be a mini-shootout, so what you have looks great

I just beat the '05 Golf GTI by 19 seconds in a 345PP Honda Fit. Nice payouts.

Of course my Honda Fit is slower than the first car I drove at 380PP...


Edit: The PSN I'm using is CSLACR.

Got to love having FITs

What PSN are you using for this one?..... never mind

 

[CSLACR]

No, it will not have the auto-box.

I have been recording my times by best lap and overall race. I'm doing three races per car and taking the top times respectively. I'm also recording small input on how I ran, if I made mistakes or not. But that stuff is mainly used to see if I have to give it another chance at a cleaner run.

That all sounds great 👍 I hope to do the same.

Is it fun making all those credits, or are you tired of it? Just wondering

It's fun for now. Most of the cars have a slightly different feel but very similar numbers time wise so far. I can only grind on the same track for so long before I need a break and race something faster.

And you, sir, should get started on testing before I let loose the power of the irritating-GT5-"noob"-drivers on you! You remember what happened last time, eh?

 

[XDesperado67]

Will get my "Pretty in Pink" Celica posted in the next hour or so.
