New T2 in my saved lap: 46.299

My best T2 was 45.8xx, but i've messed up that lap in the last two corners. Managed a dozen 45.xxx in 20 laps. Still working on the perfect setup

Mr P · Mar 6, 2003

U guys have certainly set the bar very high :cool:

maybe i should get back on this and try setting it up eh ?

maybe i just steal Max's set up :thumb

I will get to it after i nail my ideal run in Torc R3 !
I wont bother showing a pic of my thumbs again :embarrassed:

lets just say the pain in my hands was extreme while trying to sleep last night :irked:

oh well dems the breaks

i think now is the time to ditch the DS2 and use my MOMO full time :mischievous:

laters.

I've been using a slightly different setup than the ones posted by Pedrodaman and Red Eye Racer..

I'm running T2's of about 48.1xx (the setup is good for me, I just can't drive it well enough to keep off the walls for a whole lap :irked:

). I figure I can shave off another second with some practice..

Springs: 15/12
Ride: 55/60
Bound: 6/5
Rebound 10/9
Chamber: 2.0/1.0 *
Toe: 0/0
Stabilizers: 4/3

Brakes: 16/20

LSD: 5/10/5

Downforce: Maximum
ASM: Off
TCS: 5**

* Haven't tuned this yet (I'm going to try 3/3)
** Could probably go lower, but this lets me get on the accelerator quickly.

Luxy · Mar 6, 2003

Chamber: 3/3 == definitely better!

There's a real good chance your losing time when you hit the rumble strips with front springs like those. Have you noticed an inability in the cars ability to efficiently handle bumps and curbs? If so,.... drop it down,. at least below 9 👍

Same here. Try to raise the ride height a little. This way the Vertigo will drive over the curbs a little smoother.

I just want to say thank you to red eye.

The settings provided seemed to me at first to be "not good."

But after applying them and racing, I took "lots" of time off and now am once agian close to being competitive with the slow pokes.

Thanks again.

And Zero, with comments like that, racers like myself not only lose respect for you, but also support the ideat that you should be banned.

and thats coming from a hetro male age 21.

Anyway, thanks again red eye...

btw,

do you have any more adjustments you have made that you wish to share.

I gotta say, those set ups really did help out.

thanks.

Red Eye Racer · Mar 6, 2003

NP GoKents,.... unfortunately, I havent had the opportunity to race yet,... but you can be sure I'll update the previous suggestions once I'm involved

Thanx again for the compliment

Good luck racing :cool:

RER

BTW,.. if you guys ever have quesions about WHY I tell you the settings I do (like how I explained the front springs related to the rumble strips), dont hesitate t ask 👍

daan · Mar 6, 2003

My best lap has a 46.6 in it now :cool:

. Thanks to Max for giving me the idea to chase a Denso 👍 . I'm never gonna catch the one I'm chasing, but it drags me along behind it.

daan, I hope you're not getting an advantage by slipstreaming that Ghost

First off, we have never been formally introducted, I am Matt. 17 from Atlanta, Georgia. I've been coming to this website for more than 20 months now and I have gained the respect of fair more important people than yourself. Ask any racer in this series, any real OLR racer who is one of the fastest regular visitors to this site, and they would say who? Me. When Rob see's my post he will know that I am just kidding around with him. Rob and I have been friends now for nearly 9 months, when he and MIH were racing in my Official GTP Comp. He and I have had conversations on the phone in the past so he knows me fairly well. Even Mischa (madeinholland to you) knew that I was kidding around with Rob when I posted that message. The second after I posted the message and the url of that message appeared in IE, I pasted it to Mischa and he laughed so just chill and don't bite what you can't chew.

Talentless · Mar 6, 2003

i'm still working on set up. concentration is off. 47.2xx or higher.

Kent · Mar 6, 2003

Well I won't bite, but who said anything about not being able to chew.

Intellectual debates of right, wrong, morals and ethics are completly different subjects than whose the fastest in gt3.

I apoligize for getting on your case.

You must understand that your personal history with individual racers was not apparent when there was a warning about bad behaviour and you replied with a simple "faggot."

I do apoligize, but you should still take my side into consideration before you insult me. (calling me unimportant and what not)

I have no desire to introduce myself to you under these circumstances of misinterpretation and unintended insult.

I apoligize.

btw, my name is Kent and I live in the united states also.

Nice to meet you, as long as you can consider me a friend and not a foe.

Talentless · Mar 6, 2003

i think a 46.5 is possible for me, but under 46, fat chance. car's better than the c5r, but can be fairly stiff. i'd tried red eye's set up, but it didn't work for me. i'll resume friday or saturday

Mr P · Mar 6, 2003

nice reply to a nasty guy Kent

Talentless · Mar 7, 2003

Stop messing around, get a real lap done then post your real sector 2 . Don't take us for fools I know for sure that only a select few can get close to Max on his T2 and you two aint doing it that's for sure

, 45.9xx so sorry man its jutst when ure doign an essay and u think about taking a break ure mind if still on the essay sorry guys

Kent · Mar 7, 2003

Dude, 35's are not possible.

Cobraking · Mar 7, 2003

are u talkin to me? well if u are man, i reeally did get 35.9xx it tried about 10 diff setups until i found the one... i tried messing with the camber angle .. it help me a lil bit .. and just to tell u i personally think 34.s are possible by ppl like mr.p.. but i for sure cant do it anymore... had enough of the vertigo to last me a while.. but its a fairly nice car around the turns ..

thanx for the vote of confidence man

but your t2 is way over 9 secs over optimal for this combo , probably just set the 36 in your mind easily done :mischievous:

and 1 other thing :lol:
