Spot Race Challenge Discussion Thread!!

[Rotary Junkie]

I'm bringing an SRT-4. Seriously.

 

[mafia_boy]

So, everything + Stage 2 turbo on it RJ?? On S3's this will be fun to watch.

I'll bring something to play with if I get enough time.

 

[mcsqueegy]

My car is now getting 6'50 at the ring... just gotta adjust the slipperiness, then I can get a good lap

 

[Skygrasper550]

@ RJ - good luck. BTW, are there some other FWD cars that can reach 400hp??

@ Mafs - would be great if you can find the time.., 👍

@ mcsqueegy - 6'50 on the 'Ring? may I ask what car you are using??


hmm, still can't pick from my list, my M3 GTR is very understeery at low-speed corners, so I'll have to go for my RUF BTR, Mustang SVT, or the Impreza that I entered in TCv4..,

 

[Adamgp]

Still working on the Z06. I tuned it and had an awesome lap going at the 'Ring but spun out exiting the Karussel, and another off track excursion, still ended up with a 7:05.472.

I'll be trying others like detuning my Cobra R, among others.

 

[mafia_boy]

d24/7, the following are FF's over 400hp.

Mitsubishi Eclipse '95 (need 10.0km)
Mitsubishi Eclipse '06 (can get 500hp)
Alfa GT 3.2
Alfa GTV 3.0
Alfa 147GTA
Alfa 156 2.5 V6
DC2 Honda Integra Type R
DC5 Honda Integra Type R
Ford Focus RS
Honda Accord V6 (US Type).

That's off the top of my head. There's a lot of them hovering around the 370-390hp mark too.

 

[mcsqueegy]

Hey drifting, i'm using the Shelby Series 1. 6'45 is possible, but my tuning skills leave a lot to be desired.

the Eclipse can reach 500hp?? that's odd, my DC2 Integra can only reach around 380hp..,

no wonder you're so fast around the 'Ring, you're using the Shelby Series 1..,


change of plans, I opted for my TCv4 Mazda RX-8 instead of the Impreza.., my RX-8 just made a 1:18.802 on Deep Forest Normal..,

 

[mafia_boy]

The DC2 Type R HAS to be a 10.0km example, mine is a '99 from memory and it's only just over 400hp.

Only the newest V6 Eclipse can get 500hp, the '95 Turbo Eclipse 10.0km version is smack bang on 400hp. The downside to the newer Eclipse is like the Alfa GT, you CANNOT fit Nitrous to it.....which totally sucks to me for 1/4 mile racing. But it could be good for a lap around the ring, who knows?? I know the Focus RS wouldn't be that great as it's too much power w/ too little weight (410hp/900kg).

 

[shoman]

I'm bring a front wheel drive to the gunfight. It's gping to be fast, and good for one lap lol. I'll start tuning it Friday

 

[mafia_boy]

I should get some time tonight so I'll do a quick T&T build up of a car to chuck in for this 'ring SRC. 👍

 

[mafia_boy]

Did a quick setup of an S14 200SX '96. 426hp with S3's with EXACT same suspension settings as my 270NA, I was able to get into the low-mid 7 minute mark (7'21) but that's with a couple of off moments in the high speed areas. I might try something else, but probably will leave it with that, too many things to deal with offline to get time to play.

*added bit* Apologies for double post, just woke up, did the time and didn't think when I typed this post. Don't hunt me down mods.

HOW DARE YE, HEATHEN, BRING THY REPEATED COMMENTS ONTO THIS FIELD OF WORTHY RECKONING?

Yes, the above comment is just a tad facetious. I refuse to use emoticons, so have to point out the obvious sometimes to avoid getting flamed.

 

[camel_man]

when is the deadline for this challenge?

 

[shoman]

who's down for some spot racing fun? I want to take the mini on opera and have some fun, fully tuned S3, and no wing everything else is optional.

 

[TheBook]

That sounds like a lot of fun. I'll probably try something after I finish up my TCv4 duties.

BTW, aren't there something like 3 MINI's?

cooper S, the only way to go man

 

[mafia_boy]

You know I'm always down for this stuff sho'ey.

Opera Paris - S3's - Mini Challenge?? If so, you've got an entry already, my Cooper S JCW Edition, the most fun you can have with only 200hp.

I want apiece of that car.... lol, It's always fun with you in there, Oh and 200 is the tops lol. Oh Mafs it's on like donkey kong man. Give me a day or two, I;m breaking in a new tuner for the shop.

 

[mcsqueegy]

No problem, I'll join this too! I've already got a good Mini S tune thanks to four race report chapters... and it's under 200bhp for the races, beating Esprits and M3's My only problem is my driving... it was extremely hard to gold that S license test...

 

[Skygrasper550]

Opera Paris?? hmm, can I turn this into an FF challenge?? i'll bring along my Spoon EK9..,

 

[CamryFan]

Yeah I'll have a go at it and just to light a fire under it already I set a laptime.

Mini Cooper S - S3 Stock Power.
Suspension tuning and minor driveline upgrade.
1:38.775

 

[Adamgp]

I'll have a go at this. I bought a brand new Mini Cooper S and ran it stock (only an oil change, all else stock) and got a lap of 1:44.791

What are the rules as far as tuning?

[SVX]

Can I join the fun?

 

[shoman]

Can I join the fun?

Yes and I will be pming you rookie:tup:

 

[SVX]

Awesome! Thanks man you are a nice Friend

 

[Adamgp]

Adam, it's everything tuning and S3 no wing and 200 hp

Thanks, but 200hp max? Didn't see that part, I have to detune and start over.

 

[shoman]

Sorry about that, I think that the FF of the mini is better in the corner's and tuning will be the winner

 

[mcsqueegy]

I love my Mini . Gave it a quick go with exactly 200bhp and got 1'36.204. I had to reduce the way the car would 'snap' in any left-right combo though.
