I agree with all of that. When I decide to tune a car, (I'm no pro, just enjoy tuning them for myself), I always run a few laps stock, followed by a few fully upgraded with no adjustments. I like to tune the car fully upgraded and get it comfortable, then I will de-tune to a lower PP, (usually around 500), and adjust my settings. Then I compare the two tunes, find my happy medium and take it online to aggravate some non-tuning muscle car fans.
 
Mudd im glad your on board with us, it'll be fun racing our classic cars together and hopefully open up some classic rooms to race against other people online and lay a smackdown.
 
A tune for the R5 would be nice!

This car is impossible to drive stock with S3. Check this and tell me, this is a first rough tune, but it's drivable. With help of ballast 90 kg.
Give me some feedback please.
308 ch
953 kg
473 pp

ballast = 90 kg / - 50%

max speed = 169 mph
final = 3250
1=2871
2=2090
3=1580
4=1240
5=1006

LSD 25/30/20

R.H=-20/-25
Springs=13/14
ext=8/8
comp=9/7
a.r=6/5

camber=1.8/2.2
toe=-0.70/+0.50

Brakes=7/4

Tires S3/S3

Enjoy and tell me .
 
My r5 is maxxed and a nightmare to drive. I have all my cars really loose at the back so maybe I have gone down the wrong tuning route with this car, I actually gave up on this one. My tune is fast but so easy to get wrong. Just one little mistake under brakes and you are round into the wall.

I am picking my baby daughter up from hospital today (coming home Woop Woop) so I don't know when I can try this but I'll let you know when I have :)
 
If it is sliding around under braking bump up the braking sensitivity, or adjust the brake balance. I've never driven the R5 myself, but from the sounds of it that could be your issue. I suppose if you give me a little better description of what exactly its doing I could try to help you out, in a PM of course (Ya happy Ford? lol)

And congrats!

Drive a R5 turbo one time and you will see that the problem is much more than brake balance. Try this one i tune it'is very good, this car is the worst stock tune ever seen ...
 
Am i happy? I'm fartin rainbows over here hehe. And whats an R5? Im not familiar with that one but i would gladly try tuning it if its anything like the GT350R.
 
It's a Renault. 1985 I believe. I guess I'm gonna have a stab at it when I find it in the UCD. I've done as good as I can do on the 427 (Consistent 1:14.0 with alot of time to pick up by a better driver)

Renault have tried in the 80's to sale this car in USA. Comic...

Wow I really hope this garage goes through! If you guys need any help I'm working on a few projects:
54' Corvette C1
69' Corvette Stingray L46 350 C3
54' Mercedes-Benz 300SL
70' Superbird(if I can get one)
71' Super Bee(if I can get one)
 
I've done a 450pp Mercedes, and a 550pp Superbird. I can PM you those so you can get a head start if youd like. The garage is all ready to be put up with a couple cars (Cobra, GT350, BMW 2002 Turbo, and Jaguar E-Type) we just would like to wait to double check them online. I think what we're gonna do is ask for any contributions to be given to us via PM so we can double check them, then post crediting whoever submitted it. And for that matter, we'll be asking for feedback so if you find something one of our tunes that needs correcting PM us and again we'll fix it, and give you credit for the fix.

I want these to be as close to perfect as they can be.
