. Saturday morning (tomorrow the 22nd) I'll finish off my list and post it. I am making the list in excel, and making it export to html so I can use tables to organize the data. Its a lot of work. Once I have finished the list. I'll have to jump in and race against you other guys, I just have not had the time yet. |

### Purchase ###
So, I bought myself a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 Turbo (J) '95. Price: $15,102 Miles: 65937,7 Dealer Power Display: 276HP Stock Actual HP: 286HP Stock 400M time: 0'14.461 After Oil Change: 316HP 400M time: 0'13.979 ### Update 1: ### Ok, after testing different combinations of parts, I came to the conclusion that this is the best setup: *Full transmission/lsd/suspension: FREE *Racing Exhaust: 4800 *Racing Chip: 1500 *Semi Racing Flywheel: 600 *Semi Racing Intercooler: 1800 *Stage 1 Turbo: 4800 *Stage 1 Weight Reduction: 1200 Total Cost: Cr. 29802 This is before I tweaked my car-settings other than installing the parts. Power: 409 HP 400M Time: 0'12:339 By the way, all parts were bought @ HKS. I don't know if that makes any difference.

FYI for everyone that commented on my post #148 on the previous page, I have updated it correctly now. I forgot to include $50 for the oil change and $1200 for stage 1 weight reduction. Oops!!!
I had everything in an excel spreadsheet and just forgot to include those two in the post, so the final price tally as shown was still correct. I had no room to spend any more money on anything else.However, I do wonder about the racing flywheel. Maybe I could trade down for a heavier flywheel so I can include a clutch in the package as well. I may have to try that soon....

the clutch makes a huge dif .... i took that dodge neon on steriods and ran it stock on one of the tracks ... dont remember the name the game is off right now began with a T ... tusk or something like that lol im terrible with names ...
then i put a Triple plate clutch .... made a lil bit better time ... took it off and put on a Racing Flywheel and ran it ... didnt even notic it i got the same time as stock ... took that off and ran it with a racing exhaust got a good time and then ran it with just the clutch and flywheel and got the same time as with just the exhaust.... so the work great as a combo but the flywheel is almost useless alone imo unless your packing some power oh btw i was b-specing it i cant even get the same lap times running a stock car on the high speed ring lol ... dam DS2 sorry if that was a bit confusing its 12:51 am and i cant sleep so i figured id work on a my model 1971 Boss stang for a bit and somehow i ended up on here ... |

Just a little tip, some of the standard trannies took .2-.4 seconds off my best tuned racing tranny. Maybe I am tuning wrong, but it seems that sometimes the stock tranny works just fine
![]() Also always try starting cars in 2nd and sometimes even in 3rd. I've gotten some of my best times that way ![]() I was planning on posting some better times but after a really ****ty day some of my friends decided to take me out and cheer me up. I am beat and its nearly 1 in the morning. I have a lot of work to do tomorrow but tomorrow night I'll get some more times up ![]() Keep those engines running guys, and good luck

I think I got a far as I could on it.

Actually, I was using the flywheel because in my testing with the Camaro, the flywheels individually gave me better improvments than individual clutches. The racing flywheel alone actually improved my times better than a few of the small power mods such as the racing chip and sports exhaust.
However, a combination of a lesser-priced flywheel and one of the cheaper clutches may squeak me under 11.9. I'm away from my PS2 for the weekend so I'll try it again when I get back to my house tomorrow night. bindidot, thanks for the thumbs up! Yes, it's VERY addictive. I'm only like 45% through the game and have put the regular racing aside for this 1/4 mile competition. I was scouring the thread for FR cars with and without NOS when I ran across a post that's keeping up with everything. It's oil_injected's post on page 4, post #71 . Good work dude! I'm just posting this here to let everyone know that he's keeping up with things there in case people have forgotten or haven't seen it.So far, I'm in 3rd in the FR category with NOS and 2nd without NOS. Grrrr, the Camaro only gets a 50 shot of NOS instead of 100 but I guess that's saying something that the Camaro can do that well with only a 50 shot. I'm just 9 freakin' ms behind Eveek's non-N2O TVR Cerbera. Dang those TVR's! TVR rocks, btw.I think I'll be trying some added weight in the back tomorrow night as well to see if I can improve my launch...... Freakin' addictive competition...... Edit: me had some incorrect grammatical thingies

Where are you getting the "freebies"? I don't see anywhere about getting the custom trannies or suspension you guys are using?

The balast weight in the back helps out a ton! I started with 200 on the rx-7 and slowly worked it down to about 150ish(thats the most i can take off without spinning the tires like mad!) i need to work on my non nitrous runs... you got me beat there! but on nitrous i am still doin good

if you think it is so "gay" then dont do it or even bother with it .... some may think it is fun to have an actual challane rather than use'n a frigg'n Mazda RX-7 or Subaru Imprezza and if RR is so gay then why does RUF mainly make RR cars? and there are more than that in game but thats all you can buy for 30k on a further note ... im out of cash so i gotta stock up again ... just bought a V8 Vantage for 224k ... hated it in old GTs but i just found myself loving it on the nurb with all assist off ... completely stock ... and a wing cause i never could controll it....
