Tuner Wars by Harvey Wallbanger (First 2 battles joined 12/6/11)

this time i'll need a testdriver lol , its all done online so i have no idea how it will handle offline yet :P

also i prolly did the mistake of going on R3 tires from the start but atm i am liking what i see .

:lol: you don't, you only need one if you're doing what I'm doing. Taking the Commodore out for a spin using CyKosis' trick…of running a car on a lower compound when tuning. God help me…:scared:
 
:bowdown:Thanks guys for putting the Car threw all the testing :bowdown:
what kind of laps are you getting at trial mt. Most are putting in 1:31.xxx. Is it faster? If so :bowdown: Thanks again.

In my hands with my previous (and I think utterly brilliant tune though was turned down by Krenkme because he can't drive he found understeer :lol:) tune, I managed a mid 1:30 on sport softs tyres. Can't say how long the fronts will last though…I say the fronts because that's where the main issue is. Frickin' understeer and 1.4 tons means the front tyres are going to take a battering.

Nope, you got it right, I can't drive :D. It is a very good tune, but like Onboy said the front is an issue. We still got till the 10th?... to see what we can turn out.

BTW before I handed it over my fastest was 1:28.xxx ... (it would kill you, but still ) :dopey:

So we have 9 days to deliver and I'm running dry of ideas and we need some input…Krenkme, pull madmyke and DaDog in on this! :D Two of us isn't really enough. :lol:

So I've actually neutered it in speed, but made sure it didn't stab you when you cocked it up! :D

The purlpe one :D

I'll see if I can. madmyk is playing a new gama and spending time with his family ( very important 👍 ). And DaDog, well I'll send him the car when I can get back on.

!:30.xxx was my time :dunce: :dopey: sorry. I wish it was faster :D

you managed a 1.28.xxx in that deathtrap very well balanced car .

Seriously i'll give it another run after dinner

Umm…I sent it back, so unless Krenkme instantly had it up for share, you're safe to live for another day.

it was a 1:30.xxx :banghead: and I have it now, so it's off share. It may have wanted to kill you, but it was a lot faster :D

Try to get it back on share, but got a lot goining on soon.
 
thats ok i'll let Onboy drive it first then , if the car doesn't kill him its safe to drive :D

I did drive it, you goof. :P It was me who got hold of it first, I had to tell him how stiff the thing was. It didn't want to rotate at all and when it did, it rotated too much. Often in the wrong direction.

Nobody said I knew what I was doing :crazy:
 
The Holden is back on share, If you can use the different tuning sheets while it's on share, try sheet B. But A is what might have to be used. I think I'm done with this car :mad: :grumpy:
 
Double post :scared:

Onboy, the Commodore is back on share. I didn't change much, but I think it's done. Tell me what you think. (anybody can drive it and tell us what you think please)

Running S2 tires per Frost1 :dopey:
Might want to try removing ballest?

Yea, I did give it a go. Awhile back. I think you should try it at 1400kg and increase front camber, screw the tyre wear. :P :lol:

I might also try experimenting with some settings from this car. It is supposedly the road going base car, so carrying some of the settings over could work…

You want me to send it you again?

Ok, but I'll have to keys to it when you've tried it at 1400kg as it needs some tweaks if it's to maintain the…not calmer, but not-that-mad character it currently has.

And I want this car done by Sunday, frosty will need at least a couple of days to get used to driving the brute, it's not a car that you could just jump in and drive. At least, for me.

It's my oldest 10th birthday tomorrow, and I'm away ATM. But I'll try to run it before Sun. And then send it back to you :dopey:
 
We will run R2 tires. 10 laps @trial mt.. 10 laps @deep forest. 10 laps @autumn ring. 10 laps @high-speed ring. And 20I laps @London. All with one mandatory pit stop. Sorry I forgot to tell ypu

One thing, tyre wear on or off? If it's on, I'm telling you right now that you'll be making more than the one pit stop. :lol: There's no way of hiding it, so here goes. The Commodore is a <insert variety of swear words here>. Lap times are down to 1:27.xxx, but after that, you'll be running in the 1:30s for 3 more laps, and you will need to pit on lap 3-4 or you'll cause the biggest crash in the history of the game. And bear in mind that in the laps that you run 1:30.xxx, you'll only get marginally slower, as the tyres will just trim themselves off even in a straight line.

Basically, all I'm saying is this. Try to get your friends to run the race without tyre wear, it will break your race if it's on. The Commodore requires you to drive it gently to start out with. Start pushing only when the tyres are light blue/white. It's a pig, so don't expect Ford Falcon XR8 handling.
 
i need someone to test my tunes :P , yes yes a driver who thinks he can fiddle around with some wrenches and think the car is tuned but still...

if someone has the time to take one of my cars around triel mountain orso ( all short gearboxes ) and give me some feedback so i know i am heading the right way or not would be appreciated :P


( that means you Onboy , and whoever wants to :P )

:lol: I did the other night. That SLS of yours right? It's quite good, though I don't know how much of the car's grip is down to the RS tyres. :lol: It's very composed, but I feel that for 550PP…you could use something else as the power band is very flat in the high RPM ranges…
 
Sorry for the double post, but quick update on the Commodore.

I've got it down to 1:25.2xx offline and 1:25.4xx online. It's now slightly snappier offline as a result of some of my adjustments, but it feels less understeery than before. Not as much online, but it's still a brute though. :P

Mind you&#8230;all of the above was based on a 1 hour long test session online. I could have just adapted to the brutish handling and be talking a load of bull, but hey. :lol:
 
Sorry for the condition the car was sent back to you Onboy. Word of advice to all tuners, don't drink and tune or it may happen to you :dopey:

now off I go to my daughters B-day! :D

:lol: It wasn't that bad…though you gave me a car with 3 settings that are completely similar to one another. Your tune was missing.
