I put down a 52.9 with my evo at 3 am last night after some fun *wink wink burps and puffs*.

I will be back with some real times soon, but for now, no new times or sessions. I should have a good amount of time this week... talk to you later on.

I just hope thats a typo dude that seems hell of a fast ;)

Anyways had a wee go in the EVO 150k left to run in on the car best lap T3 58.8 Man this EVO really came alive around the 110k mark :)..Not yet run the WRX yet but i will get to that soon..;)
 
just done a quick few laps in the EVO and managed....

T1 - 21.4
T2 - 41.0
T3 - 1.00.1

i am using the following set up......

springs: 11.2, 9.8
height: 95, 105
bound: 6, 7
rebound: 7, 7
camber: 2.8, 1.4
toe: 0, -1.0
stabilizers: 5, 5
brakes: 14, 15
limited slip:
ini 10, 10
acc 30, 35
dec 17, 20
gear:
auto at 21
final at 3.070
1= 3.171
2= 2.225
3= 1.673
4= 1.330
5= 1.120
6= 0.980
downforce: 0.19, 0.30
ayc: N/A
asm: 1
tcs: 3
vcd: 22%

i prefer a full LSD set up so i have decided against the AYC (u cant have both)

i aint gonna use the subie i am too used to this car lol
 
Im using near enough the minimum settings on the LSD's but putting the accel LSD up to 20 odds really made a difference to cornering ability..

Im still tinkering with the AYC doofler im running that around 90 seems ok at the momment ..I may need to adjust as the cars BHP increases..
Also this track favours medium to low suspension setting anything higher cause's a few hair raising momments at the corkscrew :lol: :eek:
Back with my setup lata ;)

Welcome to the boards and the series Makaveli2k3 👍

lol... did I really write the evo...?

I meant to say the wrx, I put down my car selection at the begining, Im not even gonna touch the mitsu... I have issues with mitsu.

Well crap... I just looked at the peice of paper I originally wrote on and it is actually

59.2

Sorry for the confusion, totally my bad.

I was just going on memory.
Bad memory.

Sorry... but hey... the point is that the time is a 59.2.

Im wondering, is everyone racing with both cars before they decide on what to race?

I am personally using the wrx ad still havent touched the evo.

Talk to you all soon...

i am using th evo and only the evo it was already set up from previous racing just changed the required parts and i was away.
have always prefered evo to subies:D

Aye that would be cool..If your ever up in Glasgow give me a shout and we can do battle .:mischievous: :P

@ GoKents you had me worried for a momment there with that sector time :lol:

I am planning on giving both cars a good shot but can't decide what one im going for :confused:

@ Boom can i just submit a time for each car :P

Hmmmm, you can, but I want everyone to pick a car that they feel the most comfortable with and get there fastest time with.

But I suppose, we could do a split results if everyone sends me times with both cars. That would be kinda cool to see.

So if you all want, send me times for both of the cars. But you don't have to if you don't want to. GoKents. ;)
 
I was just messin ;) ..But seriously if everyone did submit times for both cars ,,These two times could be added together to make up each drivers overall time..Maybe an idea for a future race..;)

I will most likely post up an EVO im having a buzz with this car ..This is the first time i,ve really raced this machine..
 
Ok .... ok :D i wont say i'm not interested in this one :mischievous:

Dont be clogging up the corkscrew now guys :P make some room for the P ;)

" ok now whats it to be 1st ? ... the wrx or the evo!..? " :banghead: .............. EVO it is then :)

i'll be back soon :)

:eek: Mr P's back ..Don't be tryin to fish tail my ass on the corkscrew now :P :lol:
 
Ok, now raced the evo for about 400km and the t:s for my fastest lap is:

T1 20.7
T2 38.6
T3 58.16

Nice time there noojra on T1, I don't have a clue how you do it, my best T1 is about 20.5

Vrooooom!

/D
 
👍 GREAT RACE BOOM ! ! ! 👍 Lotsa fun comparing the two. Have one @ 59 flat & the other @ 59.5, but just spent 10 minutes w/"Replay Analyzer", what a great tool!!! Planned to use it so picked different colours for each ride. VERY INTERESTING to find each cars "quick/slow" points. Thanx again...UB57
 
Spun a few in the EVO and got a good-looking clean lap (I only touched dirt once :D )

The time in brackets are a comparison to my best lap in the WRX ...

T1: 20.6 (+0.1xx)
T2: 39.0 (+0.3xx)
T3: 58.8 (+0.5xx)

And I lost another 0.300 between T3 and the finish (damn turn 10!) to end up +0.800 back.

@GTJugend, what setup are you running? I'm curious to compare..

I'm running it like so:

6/12
92/92
10/10
10/10
3/2
0/0
3/4

16/20

5/5/5
Stock Transmission

Max/Max
AYC: 80
ASM: 0
TCS: 5
VCD: 25

@noojra, I'm pretty curious about your T1 time, too. Best I've seen in either car (it was the EVO) was a 20.4
 
Hi luxy, I'm going to bed right now but I'll post my complete setup tomorrow, the biggest difference is that my front springs are at 11 i think and I dont use the TCS. I will test tomorrow if softer front-springs will make the front tires grip more..

Oh, are you familiar with this error?:

When I watch the replay of my lap I get a different time then the lap-time I saved.. (-0.020 secs) ??? :irked:

/D

Hello GTJugend :
:D Welcome to GTP Forums. Yes, there's a theory that when you watch the replay it always stops 1 frame before the actual end of your run. That's why it's important to submit the time shown in the Replay File, NOT the time shown in the actual replay. Hope this makes sense...UB57
:D

Oops :embarrassed: my mistake

that T1 was supposed to be a 21.1xx I mixed it up with another lap that had a 20.8xx :D

any way here is my new T's

T1 21.013
T2 39.721
T3 1'00.246

I think I'm losing some time between T2 and T3
I'll post my setup later;)
 
Managed to take the Evo out for a spin ... what a smooth ride! very nice , I dont want to even try the suby after drivin this :D the corkscrew is just :eek: :cool: I love it!

Best sectors from my 90k session 20.8 / 39.1 and 58.5

Best lap sectors are ... 21.1 / 39.1 and 58.6 it's not a clean lap though, I went off on the penultimate turn with all 4 wheels :( I still saved it though to beat up on during the week:mischievous:
That turn 5 is a bit of a bugger for me I have to say that one is causing me the most grief :banghead:

Still I really like the car and track, so it should be a good week for me :)
 
Looks like everyone's picking the Evo except for GoKents.
I' think I'll try the Subie out tonight just to be different.:cool:
I'll post some splits and setts after I get home from work tonight.
 
Im still undecided as to which car im taking ran both cars ..EVO's best lap so far is 58.7 fully run in but with Subie 58,6 with only 97K on the clock ..Having said that allthough i have a better time with the subie im not 100% comfortable with it yet..

I will tinker About a bit more to see what i can come up with ..This track is not on of my strong ones im affraid :(
 
A few more laps in the EVO:

T1: 20.8
T2: 38.7
T3: 58.5

The final time is about 0.175 ahead of my best WRX lap!
