do we know for sure yet whether we can use T8's or not? Did some tinkering around w/ this earlier, and pulled like a 58 somthin on the t5's, and when i switched to T8's i was down in the 56's, and i think i even had a 55.3 once (dont remember, its hard to look at your time and make that turn at the same time...hehe) but i dont think that was a clean lap anyways. Once i get the tuning done on this car i think im really gonna enjoy it. I love seattle, forward or backword!
 
:D Hi All:
Have "PM"ed boombexus about the tyre choice, so we'll just wait for an answer.

Went ahead & mounted T8s just for a test. Running consistent 56.2xx clean laps, but see plenty of room for improvement. Fast guys (& gal) will probably be in the 53-54 bracket.
:confused:
Is anyone else running a Logitech "Blue" wheel??? Would like to do direct comparisons if possible. (I know I can't compete w/Joypad drivers!!!)...UB57
:D

Thanx MajiiK & I see you're running about 1.5' quicker than me @ T2, so I guess I can't blame my slow times on my wheel anymore eh??? Do you suffer the same "Glitches" the rest of us have, or does operating on 220Volts (You do don't you???) solve the problem??? Thanx in advance...UB57
:D :D
 
Only got one problem... Shifting gears and turning at the same time. Doesn't always work.
And yes, operating on 220 volts.

What kind of glitches are u having on your wheel...?
 
Hot Lap = Your fastest lap time.

Run as many laps as you fee necessary in "Free Run," Arcade mode to get your fastest time.
 
Right-o then, I have to win this car. I'm goint to put some serious time in this week, compared to last week.
 
Yeah, I'm liking this car too, but I cant seem to tear myself away from watching the news right now.

I hate the first turn in this track, get's me all the time. :irked:
 
I too am finding it hard to do anything else at the momment
My thoughts are with my close friends that are in the Gulf
And praying they return safely..

I will try and get a few laps done soon :)
 
I'm back! (with a new, better paid job :D!) Looking forward to doing this one even tho' I hate the track, 'cos love the car!
 
well now I am sorta encouraged and dissapointted at the same time...

I got a new best lap by over a tenth, however, it was on a lap with a t2 that was slower by a tenth...

Go figure.

Just means Im gonna have plenty of room for improvments.
 
I'm still racing the All Japan GT-champs to win the car. I need two more races.

So i probably will start tomorrow. Plenty of time for this one this weekend. I am broke, so i can't go out anyway.

I Dont think ill have time for this race, or mabe i mite be able too on the weekend , at the moment im tuned into the news...
 
All right, good to see that there are some people making there comeback!
Good to have you back Clint!
And daan, congrats with the new job! Looks like your hard work has paid off.
Saturday seems to be race day for me. I'll try to get some times up with some settings then.

A few pointers:

Keep your ride height up a bit.
Springs a bit on the loose side as well as the dampers and stabalizers.
 
Cheers Rob for the pointers 👍

I,ve been running loose springs harder at the front . not yet done any damper settings or stab's yet..

Still my best so far is in the mid 54 mark

You were clearly going against the AUP, and I warned you three times to make that change, and you never did, and even made a few inappropraite comments whilst doing so. You purposely evaded our rules. As a moderator, it is my job to enforce the AUP and TOS, and to make sure that our three strikes rule is enforced, no matter how small the circumstance at hand. I am not "person-specific"... if someone is clearly disobeying the rules, I will make sure that I do what is required of me under Jordan's rules. I suggest that you shape up right now.

I also suggest that you refrain from calling moderators stupid.

Man, getting smart and giving lip to a moderator for a second time is going to get you banned quicker then you can say sorry.

I dislike (hate is a strong word) Maoris too, but we have to stick up with them.
