My pleasure. It's a very simple build, only the suspension and differential have been tweaked. I originally built if for Comfort Soft tyres (which it will run on), but meant for it to be run on Sports Hard in the Euro Hot Hatch Seasonal. That's what the AI competition (usually) run. Purchase the Close Ratio 6 Speed 'box for short tracks, for long ones like Fuji, revert to the stock 'box.
If you want to run very fast times, then slap on some Sport Soft tyres. I'd recommend sticking with the SHs though 👍
I'll be interested to know how you get on with it. You may need to buy a new car as this one has no weight removed from it. Although I guess you could ballast it back up to weight...

Actually, that's kind of my plan - I'll try to tweak my build with your suspension and diff settings. I already bought every mod available (no giant rear wing, though - I think I can do without that!), cut down the weight, then added it back, but positioned for better balance. On the Autumn Ring event, I cut the top speed down as far as it would go (99mph or 112mph, I forget which) since it will never get up that high on that course anyway, and set the final drive to 5.00:1 for quicker punch out of the corners.
ETA: I played around with it tonight for a bit, and your suspension/diff tunes cut my lap time on the High Speed Ring 400pp seasonal from 1:26.419 down to 1:25.809 - more than half a second difference! Those were the only things I played with between runs.
FYI, I added 200 lbs. of ballast, which got it back up to 1248Kg, positioned it all the way to the rear, got the weight distribution to 54f/46r, and cut the power down to around 174hp so it would get down to 400pp. It feels pretty damned good, even on sports hard tires!
Then I went and dusted off my trusty old Honda CR-X and tuned it in a similar fashion - added ballast, actually got the weight to 50/50 distribution (at 1055Kg). Power 185hp, sports hard tires, some suspension and brake tweaking, and punched out a 1:22.621 with it in 400pp trim. It's a bit twitchy and edgy, and the tail likes to step out just a bit on turn in (lift-throttle oversteer, which is remarkably similar to what my real CRX will do under the same circumstances).
So if y'all are still looking for a good 400pp car, dig up that dusty old CR-X and give her another fling around the track; she might surprise ya!
