Okay, what's your reason for slamming them, Flag?

I'll drive one of them at the 'Ring, El Capitan, and Trial Mountain. You pick.

EDIT: Good luck with the 'Line, Hemi!

Kent said it all

Rotary Junkie why don't you pick what YOU THINK would be the worst car for those tracks and tell me what you think. I know that any of my cars will be better than what YOU expected before you drove it.

Thanks Kent you saved me from typing 3 paragraphs.
 
Could it be better than I expected?

Definitely.

Will it?
.
We'll see Monday evening (No PS2, away from home).

Here's what I expect: A car that gets upset a bit too easily by imperfections in the road, hates curbs, but isn't bad on a smooth track.

Well, there is a long story behind this car. I bought it from the used car dealer because it remined me of the skyline from one of the driving missions and i felt like spending some money. all of the cars that i tuned before this one were not very versitile, and by that i mean they couldn't handle any track other than Tsukuba. so i tried to make a great all around car. i did and no one tested it:(. then this little competion came along and i saw my chance. so, i took my ignored little skyline and made a few changes so it fit within the guidelines of the competition, i added N3 tires and hoped the car would still be the same, it was completely different. so i started tweaking, and after about 6 hours of tuning i think it turned out well. it has nice cornering speed, a decent top speed(around 175), and it is fun. you can slide the tail out in second gear and do donuts, i figured that out by accident.
i hope you all like it and feel free to comment.
 
I'm trying to decide on an AWD entry at the moment.

I can't quite get my 205 to get rid of 400hp-AWD-on-sports-tires understeer, but I WILL build it, dangit. Even if I can't get it great in challenge legal specs, it WILL get done.
 
just came around here... I'd like to judge it, but I'm afraid I can't. Godo work either way, Kent. Nice to see it up and running again, with more entries (apparently) and a broader entry list. 👍

Well keep at it because the 205 is the most oversteery, drift friendly AWD in the game. Drove one yesterday in mostly stock trim and had a ton of fun. Easy to oversteeer with great handling... So nice I'm wondering what you've done to get ride of the oversteer and replace it with understeer (sports tires and 400hp or not, the 205 should be oversteering so try rethinking your settings... maybe start with stock settings and see what you need to change).

Also, sorry to hear you will not be in diego. :ouch:
If you find the time for even one division of judging I'd be happy to see you get involved. 👍

New, recently introduced GT-R is an astonishing piece of machinery. It's capable of beating cars with twice it's price tag, with less power and torque, while having larger chassis. Since GT-R is very popular among tuner crowd, Nissan decided to let some major Japanese powerhouses have their way with the reborn Godzilla, and this particular car represents Mine's vision of GT-R's potential as a tuner car. 609bhp, 810nm, way less weight than previous Mine's GT-R had and 7 speed gearbox will make even a dead man scream in the claws of Mine's Godzilla.

And here it is. MFT Z-486 SC, based on the most basic Z available. This car was inspired by Wangan Midnight-anime's Devil Z, and in some ways, it is scary like the Devil Z. First off, some numbers: 486bhp, 726nm of torque. Top speed? A nudge beyond magical 300km/h (180mph) barrier. There's enough grip and acceleration to deform your face, and occasional nervous twitch of the rear keeps you awake in the corners. Despite it's lower power, it's running equally with more powerful cars like Spirra and the rest of supercars, without being as lethal. So, have fun while giving those 500bhp+ car run for their money!

if you're going to change the gearbox, please, touch only the final gear ratio.

There we go, have fun!
 
I suggest you properly label what car to use with those... Even the Mine's GT-R is ambiguous (although I assume you mean the "Mine's GT-R" from Tuner Hall is the car to use?).

In any case, please label those entries with the full proper name of the cars used so everyone will be able to get the car and build them when the time comes for testing.

Other than that... Great work, I'm looking forward to testing all three. 👍 :cheers:

It should mean the GTR concept from Nissan, modified by Mines parts in the tuner village. :) One of the main hints is the 7 speed transmission he mentioned.
 
Just for clarification, can one person enter more than one car? The post regarding the rules said one car per person, but if multiples are allowed, that'd certainly make my life easier. I'm badly torn between 3 or 4 of my cars right now... though Rotary Junkie may have eliminated one by considering entering a 205 :ouch: Although I do have another MAWD monster lurking around my garage somewhere... maybe it'll make an appearance

pfft.. FF's are overrated :P but that's my three entrants, I left the FF out in favour of my MR2.. besides, I don't have a single FF at the moment. man has to have some sort of principles, lol. :D

I didn't even notice until now but...
You're going to have to choose between the Z and the MR2... There is only one RWD entry from each person so you're not going to be able to enter both of those.
As for the Concept, that works (I think) and it is a 4wd car (despite the lack of a designation, at NISMO you can buy a VCD which means it is a 4wd). 👍

Take your time with the choice but be sure to make the choice before the deadline. 👍

Oh, and FF can't be overrated since there are only a handful of people who actually like them or appreciate what they can offer. Plus, I think sometimes people over-tune their FFs and the result is a big wheel spinning p.o.s. 👎
 
removed the MR2. I think that the Z and GT-R concept will be enough serious competition for anything and anywhere. :D

is that confidence or cockyness? don't underestimate any of us here, who knows maybe one of us could defeat one of the mighty finns.
 
Tuner Challenge V.2 AWD Entry


KC Motorsport 1985 PEUGEOT 205 TURBO 16

1000216zn0.jpg

1000214lj0.jpg


Peugeot manufactured a mere 241 examples of this peerless Group B rally homologation special, and its rarity is only matched by its staggering handling characteristics. Unusual for an AWD car, the turbocharged 1.8L powerplant is mounted transversely amidships, eliminating understeer entirely. In fact, the car produces a THRILLING amount of oversteer. Here, KC Motorsport has coaxed a raucous 439 HP from the car's original sub-40K mile motor using a much larger, more modern turbo. A state-of-the art 5-speed gearbox transmits 325 ft.lbs of torque through the car's original drivetrain that by homologation rules is identical to the Group B race model. Testing revealed the original drivetrain to suffer from the addition of modern differentials and forced permanent torque distribution, so it was left unmolested. The outmoded suspension however, has been completely overhauled to compensate for the significant power boost. Surprinsingly soft for such a powerful vehicle, the system nevertheless retains the stock T16's state of oversteer ecstasy. Cornering feels remarkably similar to that of an AWD Porsche, and with a WPR in the two-and-a-half range, it could rival said Porsche under most any circumstances.

Initial Notes: As with many homologation specials in GT, many parts are already on the car. Keep an eye out for the GREY version of the car if you don't already own it - the version in white livery is significantly higher-mileage. Lists of the used car rotation cycle in both PAL and NTSC formats should be available in the stickied FAQ sections. Remember, buy the rigidity refresher since this is a used car (but NOT the rollcage).

Parts List:

Stage 3 Turbocharger
Racing Brakes
Brake Balance Controller
Full Custom Transmission
Full Custom Suspension
Full Weight Reduction
Sports Soft Tires
Rigidity Refresher Plan
Wing and Oil Change
Full Custom LSD (OPTIONAL - do not equip for competition judging. This is useful for driving the car in dirt if you ever wish to do so, and for added stability for those using wheel setups rather than DS2's. I prefer the car without it, but settings are included below for those who might want it.)

Power: 439 bHP
Torque: 325 ft.lb.
Weight: 1076 KG

Transmission
-------------

As the rules state, the transmission will be geared by the judges, but for reference, most of the late-stage tuning for this car was done on the Nurburgring, where an initial Autoset of 20, followed by adjusting the final drive ratio to 5.500 proved to be excellent - the car reached peak power in the long final straight just before the crest of the hill, and the last flat-out downslope following it carried it through the power dropoff nicely.
