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

[XDesperado67]

Okay I decided to give one of my personal nemesis a shot in the 400PP European Hothatch battles.

It's a quick oversteering monster. Probably won't be the fastest but is definitely one of the most fun 400PP cars I've ran yet.

Okay my insane Renault 5 Turbo '80 at 400PP on Sports Soft tires is on share now.

Hope anyone deciding to give it a go in the seasonals has their life insurance paid up.

Haven't been able to completely tame the rear end so far and it has lightning quick turn in and amazing grip with the fronts. Leaves you with oversteer out of corners if your not careful with your steering. Note the oversteer isn't from the throttle but because the car will simply overrotate if your not careful. It's amazingly fun on Autumn Ring, haven't given it much of a go elsewhere.

Times updated for xDee's car and new times for Onboy's car.

EURO HOT HATCH TIMES

I really wanted the Lancia to do better on the time front, but 1400+kg simply can't be overcome by the extra horses or the drivetrain. Drives much better, far less inclined to burn the outside front, increasing grip accordingly. Straight line braking is required, unless you want a spot of cheeky tail wagging. Proved the most consistent lapper at Fuji, lovely going into the high speed corners. In fact it drives well everywhere, just not fast enough to beat the two FWD cars I've driven so far.

Bravo on the Punto Onboy, drives very well indeed and the times reflect that. Faster than the Pug, the benefits of having the drivetrain completely worked over. It picks up speed nicely and sounds great too. But for the tight front end and big curbs at London, I'd have posted sub 1:00 laps. Aptly, the car is most at home in Rome. I almost posted a replay of my Fuji lap, because my first few laps passing track were epic ... even if I say so myself ... but I made a few slip ups on the last two laps.

Of the cars I've driven so far, this is the one that people will want to drive. It's what they expect, rorty and fast. Well done Sir...

@CyKosis thanks for the laps.👍👍
I like the Lancia but have yet to really find a good PP for it. Easy to tune and always seems to drive well just seems to always come up a touch slower than the competition at any given PP.

If you feel up to risking your life give my 5 Turbo a drive. Doubt its any faster than the Lancia but it's a lot of fun!

Just have to watch out for the tail coming around on you in hard cornering as I can't seem to find quite as much grip there as in front. It has incredibly quick turn in and rotation and as long as you don't over rotate it will carve incredible lines through corners.

With the deletion of the K-car seasonal and the world compact seasonal, does that mean no MR Kie car battle

Nope. We change the testing ground. A spec events like the PD cup perhaps?

Great 👍. I was looking forward to the tunes for these cars, and I was worried

Why didn't you say so earlier?!

I wanted people to actually use it, but realised that not many would, especially since the Kei seasonal has gone, so just sorta gave up.

But you can still use them in A-spec, and the're fun to drive (I assume). Plus PD might make a new one again ... I hope

Edit - will everyones truck tunes be posted?

Well…my Beat is fun. If your idea of fun is sawing away at the controller with millimeter accuracy your finger flat on the power in a corner.

I don't really know…I'm rather disappointed with mine, aside from the fact that someone with skills like ACSR said that it was difficult to drive, it just doesn't like to listen. At all.

Well the Beat krenkme has at Clueless is fun, so I assume his will be the same, but it is really a blast . But I would like to try others. 👍

It's just that you don't see many truck tunes out there, so I would like to see them... even thow they took that seasonal away too

Well…it's on share…so just sign on the dotted line for your health insurance and here's the keys!

I think there's a good reason for that. Look around, there's pretty much no one who wants one, so why make one? Unless you have huge success like RKM or Praiano where they can bring your attention to a car with one update, but for smaller guys like Krenkme and Harvey, it seems a bit…unnecessary.

I think I may need to add you to my friends list . FR coming as soon as I can get back on. It may be a couple of days.

Are you calling my Lamb unnecessary?

 

[Onboy123]

Yup. Give it some new wheels. (hint hint )

And I've got a 700+hp Mustang '06 (I think) tuned on Sport softs for the new seasonal. Sounds like god and goes like the legendary SuperSnake.

I'm not at home ATM but when I am a lot of my cars will get new wheels. Might try "the Runt" for the new seasonal

Yup, same here. That yellow Punto of mine is now quite a looker, personally. As well as my A class, looks like a proper AMG, bar the lack of the little fins.

Can you try my Supa Snakey as well? and put your '70s Challenger SRT8 on share, let's see how much of a 'Daytona' it actually is on the actual Daytona Speedway.

In a few hrs. I'll let you know:tup:

Drive moar HOT HATCHES..!!

I'll be taking a gander at the new Seasonal, once I get my PS3 back from my dark elf mage wife...

[XDesperado67]

Ended up in the hospital overnight here so don't have a clue what PD did to us with this latest update but it sounds like some of my favorite seasonals have gone away.👎👎

Hopefully I'll get released this afternoon and can load spec2.02 and order the new DLC.👍👍

Ouch…what happened to you? Crashed? Or something less severe? Load it. It's great. I'll tempt you now by posting a pic of your pocket monster with some sexy little shoes on.

Heart scare, woke up at around 10pm last night with severe chest pain. Tests are coming up negative for heart attack so far.

I hope it ain't a heart attack, or esle you can't test any more mad loonies from us lot any more. Hope you get better (Or are you better already?), and I'm still waiting for you to not-kill-yourself in that little Lotus I asked to be tested.

I'll give your Lotus a go in the next couple days as long as you run my 5 Turbo.

Ok, one loony for another, I like that.


Though I do have a R5 I'm in the process of tuning as well…I could get some ideas from yours.

Okay. As soon as I down load the new 2.02, get mad at all the seasonals they took away, change some wheels, I'll put my "Daytona" on share and test you Supa Snake 👍

I hope you take it easy, and feel better in time for Christmas. Take care.

Hey, hope you stay healthy Harvey. The new update is great fun!👍

As for the new Stars & Stripes Seasonal events... From the silent depths of the back of the garage an engine springs to life ready to face a mammoth challenge. Yeah it was overlooked in the past. Starting life Normal, Illinois surviving the 90s. Wishing it was really an TSi with all wheel drive. Well now its ready to show America what a 378HP, 500p.p. track car with new wheels and sticky sports soft tires can do!

7 laps in at Daytona Speedway its in first place and reaching speeds up to 205mph!

Oh, standard cars with premium rims are great too!

 

[-raVer-]

I have a new challenge for you Guys and Gals.

Build a 450 PP car that can beat the "Ford GT (No Stripe)" (starting from pole) on the Eifel track in the new "Stars and Stripes" seasonal.

Restrictions:

Power Limiter : max 5%
Tyres : Sports Hard
Aids : only ABS allowed

[XDesperado67]

So has anyone tried my 5 Turbo yet?

Definitely looking forward to updating and giving the Stars and Stripes a go....might see if a Stage 3 tune of Spooky can win Stars and Stripes.

Trying it today, so you better try mine when you get back home!

Just did a very quick run in the 5 Turbo. I like it! 👍. I only made some adjustments to suit my driving and the track (the tranny is set to Low a final gear for most of these tracks, I didn't test Fuji)

Here's what I did:
Final gear 2.900
Rear ride high -20
Rear spring 8.5
Rear damper Ext. 7

again this was just to suit my driving.

Trying it today, so you better try mine when you get back home!

I need to sleep, but in a few hours your Supa Snake is mine. (F.Y.I. the "Daytona" is on share )
