Change your LSD to 12/14/10
Run some laps, and then let us know what's wrong with the car. From there we can get a more accurate sense of what's wrong.

MFT has a setup for the RM Acura as well. Link is in the sig.

I agree with Adrenaline on the LSD settings. I tuned this car a while ago, but remember that it was really fun. Think this was right after spec 2.0.

The lsd changes were great car felt alot better , that's a plus but ,i'm struggling with drive outta the turn ,when i get back into the gas to exit the turn the car doesn't wanna turn. i run a controller and i can have it turned all left or rite depending on which way it turns and it doesn't wanna turn spend alot of time outta the gas if that makes sense
thanks

The front toe is probably the most similar setting you have to mine.

So what type of tires are you using, and will tire wear be on?

 

[southernpride20]

yes tire and fuel will be on i'm running RS . that and my trans . i'm trying to make sure i have it setup rite and have enough for drafting in the long straights at spa.
Thanks

The NSX RM only has 5 gears, so it's harder to get the gearing set optimally. My advice is to set the gearing so you're about 3-400RPM past the peak power RPM at the end of the straight. This car has plenty of room past the peak power to keep going, so let the drafting take care of itself that way, those extra 2-3mph bearing down on someone entering a series of tight corners won't be of use anyway.

 

[southernpride20]

Great advice ,i appreciate it i set the trans so that you just have to tweak the final gear for the set track,usually reset to default, final all the way rite ,top mph all left , 1st left, 2-5 rite ,then final, but i'm prob wrong on how i have it done. i'm no tuner lol. so i take it i have to back the final down so that i'm 3-400 rpm in the red correct ?
thanks for you all helping me ,i am better understanding car setups and how to .

 

[southernpride20]

Ok,
After several laps and laps of testing @ Spa i did the ride height in front -18/ rear -20 & Toe -0.03 Toe and now the car and a loose condition entering the turn under braking and exiting the turn its also loose lol
imagine that , another thing is that the track will be Sps Weather Change 50% ,Changability set to 10 Track Water or 0.
ive been able to do 2:17 low to mid laps . i have the trans setup to where i hit the rev limiter at the end of the straight before turn 1. & the LSD is set 12/14/10

how would u fix a loose condition under braking and out of the turn and do i have my trans setup rite
thanks

 

[CSLACR]

You probably shouldn't be hitting the rev limiter without draft. Aim to be not-quite hitting the shift light at the braking point without draft. Maybe 2-300 rpm before the shift light.

The whole car is too loose, which is why it's loose on entry and exit. Crazy loose setup, especially if you might be racing in the rain.
Try this setup, if it's not loose enough move the rear toe left 1-2 clicks at a time until you like it.https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=7319889#post7319889

 

[southernpride20]

Thanks for the info and i'll definately give that setup a shot and run it and i'll kick my trans up. thanks for the help .

 

[southernpride20]

Hey
I've tryied you're setup and i have to say its a bit loose but i moved the rear toe to the left 2 clicks at a time til its not at loose for me to drive . question is the trans that's a "grey area" for me ,is there a best way to set it up in stages like "IE" Reset to default,final all rite , max speed lowest then gears or what.
i have mine setup reset to default,final all the way rite,max speed all the way left "lowest" think 112.then gears and set final to what speed i need? any helps for getting the most outta my trans would be awsome
thanks

In the order listed on the page with the tune.

Moving the rear toe left makes it looser.
