Day 65
Sorry for the lack of recent updates but as i'm knee deep in studying and other stuff i only have time to post every now and then. in exchange my future updates will be even longer. A lot happened since the last time. I had to expand my garage once more to fit all the cars in. As i already told you i worked with a 3000GT to get some nice cash and rides. The car turned out to be a great choice and i was able to challenge and beat some pro racing classes which rewarded me with top notch racing cars like the Daishin Silvia or the Formula Skyline. But i hate using preoptimized cars and chose to sell them in order to invest in tuning upgrades and more cars. Here they are:
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's the Peugeot 206 GTi in flying mode! I got it to race the FF challenge and a few of the national GT races. It's fulled tuned up by now and didn't even need any adjustment besides gear widening and very few softening the suspension.
The actual settings are: spring rate 5.5/5.0, damper bound 6/6, damper rebound 6/6 and gear auto setup 6. I just love how it handles now. In contradiction to the AE86 which tends to oversteer where you don't want it to and understeers when you'd need a little drifting the 206 stays exactly where i want it to even though it's got 372HP under the hood. Vmax is at 240kph which equals 150mph and yet it accelerates with ridiculous amounts of power. And i never thought such a small car could ever growl that deep.
The other car i got is quite exotic if you consider that most people race nothing but Skylines and Evos. I present to you, the Venturi Atlantique 300 Bi-Turbo. It runs with full tuning except the turbo (brings it to 336HP) so that i can still race it in moderate HP races.
I'm not sure what i actually did in terms of setting customization but i know myself for mostly adjusting spring rate and dampers, so here are their numbers: spring rate: 5.5/5.5, damper bound 6/7 and damper rebound 6/7. I think i also widened the gear setup. Runs quite nice at the moment but i think it'll need some more work as soon as i power it up as the maximum is somewhere at 670HP which is quite a thing to handle properly.
The third car which is the only one i didn't bought and didn't race yet either is the (in my eyes) very beautiful and unique Lotus Europa. It came as a prize car but i couldn't get myself to sell it. I'll see if i have any use for it later or if it continues being nothing but decoration for my garage.
Last but not least just a quick snapshot of my game progress. I managed to completely beat all the national GT races, Sunday Cup, Clubman Cup, FF Challenge, K Cup, Compact Cup, Historic Cup, Wagon Cup and 80's Cup besides more races in other cups.
See you later, still got tires to abuse!
