Here's what I add to every car that we race in this league:
Chassis Reinforcement
Fully Customizable Transmission
Clutch: Twin-Plate
Flywheel: Semi-Racing
Fully Customizable Suspension
Sometimes I'll add an adjustable LSD, but I never change the settings once I do. In reality, I'm pretty sure an LSD doesn't even matter when you're on racing softs since they have so much grip.
Here's what I added to this week's three cars to get them up to the Dealership PP:
Honda Civic Type R (EK) '97 --> Catalytic Converter: Sports
Toyota Supra 3.0GT Turbo A '88 --> Catalytic Converter: Sports
Audi R8 4.2 FSI R Tronic '07 --> Racing Air Filter
The logic behind why I selected these specific upgrades is simple. After I bought each car new from the Dealership, they were below the Dealership PP number. Adding each of the parts listed above raised the PP exactly to the Dealership PP. It's as simple as that. However, if you don't want to buy these parts, simply get an oil change after you buy the car. Doing so will actually raise your PP above the Dealership PP so you'll have to use the Power Limiter in order to lower the PP back down. I don't use the oil change method for two reasons. 1.) I think it's incredibly stupid that getting an oil change on a brand new car will somehow improve it's performance and 2.) I don't like using the Power Limiter unless absolutely necessary.
Let me know if you have any questions. If you want any of my transmission or suspension settings, just join my lounge about 15 minutes early so that I can give them to you. That's about as transparent as I can be. I know that the method above is the same method used by my other three friends who I've been racing with since May. They're all much more casual gamers than I am so they might not even know what gtplanet is lol. I'll see if I can get them to sign up so that they can let you know if there's anything they're doing differently. See you tonight!
