I think I have a good one. I set it up on the Top Gear track and it consistently pulls 1:08s and has been as fast as 1:07. Will trade setup for a car....

How is that? At least I offered it out there. I could just actually be greedy and keep it to my self. All I wanted to do is trade my time for his. Have fun with your free tunes.

Just a question. Why did you decide not to do the race mod on the evo IX? im considering it. Is there a downside I dont know about?

No downside from which I know of, I just own an Apex Silver Evo and wanted to keep it real lol... For now atleast :)
 
Evo x 515hp 426ftlbs 1247kg racing softs and ur setup is a beast on that car
 
Torque Sensing Center Diff.
Power split = Front 35 Rear 65

Change this to: Front 30 Rear 70 and you will have much better steering on and off power! You can even try 25 F 75 R or more!

BTW, your back end suspension settings look stiff to me!

Will have to try that out, althought the thought process was to allow the fronts to pull the car around a corner but I could be wrong hehe... And yeah the rear is stiff to counter the serious understeer the car has stock. Thanks for the info though!!!!
 
Need an EVO X tune if somebody could post one,

Thanks!

Check RKM's tuning shop for a EVO X Tune... They never seem to stop making beasts over there.
 
Anyone else had the chance to test out the tune? Just curious as its been pretty solid for me... want to get some more input. Thanks!
 
Have you tried this with a Race Mod version? I am going to build a Evo with the Race Mod (You can paint it any color you want after the Mod) and was wondering if anybody has tried this tune with it.
 
I just spent a half hour trying to dial out the understeer in my Evo IX before I realized that equipping the adjustable LSD disables the AYC controller. Switched back to AYC and cranked the setting up, seems to drive much better now.

Good man 👍

AYC's only pitfall is for those that use a wheel is it WILL NOT drive in a straight line and it's not particularly good for traction.
 
But what were your suspension setup/down-force numbers for the Race Modded Lancer Evo IX?
