:tup: I love reviews like this, let's me know how I'm really doing. I shall have another look at the Golf to see if some understeer can be dialled out, or if that would introduce too much instability.đź‘Ť
I'd forgotten how bad this car is, it effectively has the same steering ability as a cruise ship and has a very disappointing engine (though it does sound awesome). But, thats not the way this car should be handled, this is never going to be a fast car and it should not be approached as such. This is a car to throw around, get the wheels spinning and have a few relaxing drifts with. Quite simply, this is a boy racers car in my opinion, . Sounds great, does drifts great but has rubbish performance when you're trying to drive it fast. awful understeer when you really don't want it, wheel spin in most exits of corners and a serious lack of power. Accelerates like a ship and turns like one. The tune does make it a bit better and once again the transmission does help put some speed into the thing.
Although I don't find the understeer too bad (but still not as good as other cars), it loses the most speed by being slower than the power suggests in a straight line, and all the wheelspin. I think most of that can be blaimed on the horrible gearbox, and some on a lowsy PP system.
Thanks again PAPA, it was awesome racing"
The swift is a hoot to drive. I find I'm buying Australian and only using TLD tunes
One car I can't stop going back to is the 07 STi. Maybe its just laziness but the car grips so well and is perfect for heated online battles. Any chance of giving it a tweak for me for the new Daytona event?
Yo Paulie,
Thanks a million for the Skyline tuneBut I'll try my best...

I've been driving your newer STI, and I must say that it is absolutely sublime.
In stock form, what I loved about the car was its out-of-control, overwhelmed feeling, like too much power for its tyres, without even much power at all, so it made slower races exciting in the earlier stages. After seeing that you combined a power-max, a weight minimum, and N3 tyres, I expected a simply terrifying car. Naturally, it was the first one I tested. But, oddly enough, it feels infinitely more composed and balanced than the stock form. The oversteer is very well-tamed, to the extent that it is never present when unwanted, yet the car never feels as if it is plowing outwards. The power is, of course, relentless and rapid, the braking and grip are still somehow well-suited to the car. Maybe it just forces a conservative driving style, but the rhythm feels wonderful. And, thanks to the rear-biased braking and the huge but exhaustable traction, controllable drifting is just one on-the-fly adjustment away; I love switching ABS on and off. The car sits at a comfortable 546PP, which unfortunately is fairly inconvenient online, so the best thing I could find to do with it was to, against all odds, place respectably in 4WD 600PP race. It's a car wihtout a very easily applied purpose, but it is still absolutely spectacular in its own right, a composed and capable modern Japanese tuner car. Thank you for making the first car I will never sell in GT5
It's bloody amazing.
? The WRXs I have actually used to fit into an event that was limited to N3 tyres very well, but now, as events change, cars become obsolete, but they are still very fun to drive as you mentioned.đź‘Ť Thanks for trying it. As for the top speed, I've not had a chance to slipstream till it maxed out so I guess its good too. The car's pretty stable even though's its RWD on R1s. I can step on the throttle early after some turns which helps slightly. So I guess overall, its another winner from TLD
Gears are fine the way it is or maybe I've got used to it
I won't be able to do it until Thursday.
Hopefully the current tune will last you until then.
