Hmm.. this comparison between gt2 and gt3 I am doing shows perhaps more difference then I excpected..
The integra (same model as you, 98 type r (j)) but with 100 less hp am I able to run at clean T2:s ~1.11 (the T2 isn't at the same place in gt2 so it's just a judgement +/- 0.5s)..
Anyway I got 1 clean save after some attempts to submit, but there's a lot of time to improve on that one.

Well, I finally got a clean set of laps under my belt.
Lap 1
T1: 38.754
T2: 1'22.036
Finish: 1'46.626
Lap 2
T1: 32.955
T2: 1'17.558
Finish: 1'38.014
Both of the lap times are horrid, I know that, but it's hard keeping all three of those laps clean. Most AI contact was light, the hardest being when that 🤬 GT40 tapped me into a wall.
Second set of laps ignored.
New problem
Well, I was looking at the replay to make sure that everything was legit. There was one spot that I had to take a good hard look at before I came to the conclusion that it was just a change in steering. However, theres a different time where it's virtually impossible to tell. I went onto the side walk and it was sort of rocky so the in car view tells me nothing. I can't get it to change camera angles because the one that its giving me shows it perpindicular to my motion, so I can't tell depth. If I had to lean one way or the other, of course I would say it's good, but I'm not 100% sure. What do I do?

This is the first time I really played with the settings, so I doubt they'll be anything grand. If you give them a try, tell me how you like them.
Spring Rate: 16.1/12.5
Ride Height: 90/100
Shock Bound: 8/10
Shock Rebound: 8/10
Camber: 2.0/1.0
Toe: -0.5/1.0
Stabilizers: 7/7
Brake Balance: 9/11
LSD: 5/10/5
Gears: I've tweaked with them, and I'm pretty proud of what they are. They're mine!
ASM: 0
TCS: 5
Those settings snagged me these times:
Lap One
T1: 38.500
T2: 1'21.056
Finish: 1'42.003
Lap Two
T1: 30.904
T2: 1'13.565
Finish: 1'34.051
After looking at the replays, I was sure I had a clean lap, no wall touching, none even in question, and very little AI contact.
And I just tossed in my order for an XPort so you'll all be able to witness my AWSOME replays.

I just ran the race in my little Type R, and was quickly disheartened by my lack of abiility to hold a 5th place for an entire lap. So, to boost my confidence, I took a round in the 787B. fun race, although I learned that I'm not that much better than the AI (I did win by a second with a fastest time of 1'23.2, but I only pulled that lap off after the first two laps of warming up to the 787). So, does anyone have any vital tips that will improve my racing?
Step 1: Get a Sharkport/Xport. It will give you a chance to view other people and what techniques they use to race and their settings.
Step 2: Practice, practice and then practice some more. The more you play the more you learn on how to go faster.
Step 3: At least for this race, with a high powered FF car, go easy on the throttle exiting a corner. Hard acceleration equals understeer.
Step 4: Learn to use your settings properly. I beleive that //M-Spec has made a quite thourough post on what every aspect of suspension and gear tuning. I beleive that it's been made a sticky here in the GT settings forum. Take a look.

I've decided to pass this week, I started to run some laps a few days ago and I just wasn't feelin' it. So I tried again yesterday and again last night, I just am not not really enjoying this one for some reason. I think I'm just having too much fun in the ARC series right now, the pavement just isn't calling this week.
Good luck too all the racers who complete a clean race, this one seemed like it would be a real hair-puller-outer

I can't decide if this has been the best or worst week I've ever spent with GT3. I've put about 300 miles on my Integra and only have 2 clean races to show for it. Its been really frustrating but I'm now managing some much faster lap times than when I started, so I'm calling it an overall positive experience.
Best clean run: (1)1:43, (2)1:34.

Have one, but I don't really like using it sometimes (unless I have a really good lap that I want to share with the world)
Time constraints. I try to practice as much as possible; maybe I'll work on getting the Golds on the lisences soon...
Lesson easily learned. problem isn't that, it's knowing when to start turning (half of the problem is the AI; when they're not around I can pull a 1'35.6, but they are around in this race and they're getting in my way
I will do that; settings always have been a difficult aspect of my race...

well. after 2 and half hours of restarts, and line-up changes, and swearing, and throwing the controller around, I finally have a new awesome clean save thats almost 2 seconds faster than my previous one. The only AI contact that occured was a few instances in the first lap where a car would brush up against my rear coming out of a few turns, but it wasnt anything harsh (didnt even make a crash noise) so i wouldnt consider any of it "disabling" to the car. First lap was 37.6/1'19.1 for a 1'39.5. Second lap was a 30.3/1'12.3 for a 1'32.5. Third lap wasnt quite as good as i wouldve liked...but its hard to keep your mind clear when youve got a 787B and Zonda crawlin up your arse 
I havent decided if im gonna stop w/ this save or not...ive far surpassed anything i couldve hoped for this week...im sure i could do better..but i dont know if its worth the frustration or not...haha.
Oh yeah, and heres those settings i promised. I take NO credit for these, as I kinda "borrowed" em from one of the fast guys that ran this race in last years board comp.
8.1/11.0
89/135

Go Go Gadget Integra! AWAY!!
Sorry...i need sleep. I must say I have a new found respect for this car tho. I mean I already had respect for it as one of the best FF cars in the game, but I never would've imagined it'd be capable to go up against cars like a 787B, or Zonda, or R390, and WIN....FAIRLY!

Awesome pic.
Hell you could almost beat the AI with a Mini cause they drive like a bunch of 2-pantied grannies...
