Currently, the Demio's fastest time is a 1'39.xxx and it would've been faster if I hadn't made a mistake.....

450-500pp FF road cars around trial mountain. So, the first thing i did was come to RKM and select a potential weapon of choice :sly: wont they dont know wont hurt....

We do test around Trial Mountain so yeah, good choice. :D:tup:

The Spoon FD2 is gaining fans as fast as the NSX-R originally did. :lol:

I DO! :lol: Nope, I don't. I don't even know what's so bad about it.

Oh if the Mazda2 fails, I'm willing to provide a fairly potent backup car. :D

It does? I've got to try it then. But I hate the FD2 to begin with, so that maybe an issue.
 
In lieu of a review, I though I'd post a "quick" video of me taking a leisurely cruise around the Nordschleife. This is my first lap driving the car, so it's warts n all. You can see me wiggling at the start to feel the car out, I miss a few apexes and am generally cautious almost all the way to the end. And yes, I popped out of the carousel, but I kept it off the barrier. Watch out for the big yump going into the long right-hander after the mini-carousel :sly:

Sorry about the quality, new camera and using my Wife's netbook. Something got lost in the transaltion from camera to laptop to internetz :ouch:

{Cy}

PS - 7:50.summat laptime, will go much faster...

 
As soon as Roj is done with things I shall get my two V8 tunes up and away, and I have two tunes planned...I've been playing with a 750bhp SLR on RHs to go with my MP4, and I would like to have a similar powered Viper tune. But which Viper? :sly:

Tune the Coupe, the ACR is overrated. :D

It's back in black, with a shiny S on the name too...hey look, I'm a naming genius! It's my good old 4200R, on squishy sports tyres this time. With a nice rumbly V8 and plenty of torque, this mad concept will propel you and it's fax machine to insane speeds, all while sliding sideways :D

Another V8 this time, classic American muscle this time though...supercharged and tweaked to a massive 570bhp, this fancy classic will easily hit ridiculous speeds and actually goes round corners rather well...just be careful with the tyres!

Very neat lap in the ATR! :D Shame you didn't put the HUD on for that nice high speed blast at the end. :P

I hate the FD2 because RACECAR. Wait…no…that didn't work, did it? :lol: Nah, I just hate it because the ones I see online are all driven by brainless arses, said Civics all look like ricers and are beaten by a small stone on the road. That and the fact that a 400hp Civic is just a tad stupid a prospect for me.

Everyone online seems to be a tad bit 'tarded with their cars...

And has nobody spotted the two V8 tunes I posted up? :P

Thank you, think I'll put a few more of these up, once I figure out how to properly convert the 1.8GB files down to something a little more manageable. My Wife's netbook probably isn't the thing to be doing it on, but whilst I'm dialled in from home, I can't access a lot of websites (inc YouTube) on my work laptop. Not even sure I've got anything on it that will convert better than Win Movie Maker.

Better attempt at converting and HUD next time, so people can see speeds and how hard the pedals are being worked.

For the record, the car is very nice. You'll be able to tell from the vid where I'm properly on it and not lifting at all. You'll also be able to tell where I've been a bit gentle with it. My car isn't built exactly to your specs, as of the three cars I have, only one hasn't had any engine tuning done. I'm keeping that one stock for now. For anyone else that's wondering, you'll get this around most tracks quickly enough. Don't increase power too much above the listed spec, or it'll really start to suffer in the corners. The car I used originally had 340+bhp and I had to drive like Miss Daisy through the corners. Don't be tempted by the Evil Power Monster :)👍

I love how the title "No Replacement for Displacement" refers to a Chevy 327 small block, and a Lotus-developed 4.2 :sly:

4.2 > 2.0 though, right? :lol: Although I have a sweet spot for a certain 3.2 and it's screaming soundtrack. :D

Tweaked for Spec 2 with some extra FIGHT and KILL in the ECU programming.

 
Love the Isuzu 4200R Concept '89 tune, so much fun to toss around and love when you can get a nice long drift through a turn. Not tire friendly... but who cares XD

Good stuff! That's what it is meant to do so it's a relief to see it does it well...
 
The M3 CSL actually got even faster in Spec 2 without a single tweak. So no tweaks here, although the complaints regarding the brakes have been fixed so yeah, the Audi-killer is back. :D

 
interesting. I just noticed that the M3 CSL has been updated today and it looks like the suspension and the diff did not change. Only the braking bias changed from 5/6 to 6/7.

I'm far from a tuning expert but I have been driving the M3 CSL with the RKM tune for a long time. It seems like in order for the car to feel the same as Spec 1 I had to set the rear toe to be +0.02.

For spec 2: The car also seems to be more prone to bump upsets at maximum lateral acceleration causing it to snap over steer and if you don't correct it quickly the car will pendulum out of control and put you into the wall or guard rail...

Mind you I have it tuned as my 500PP car and only went with stage 1 weight reduc, no engine mods, slight power limiting to 500PP and stock ratios on the 6spd full customizable transmission, sport soft tires and all the drivetrain upgrades.
