There's no need to keep double and triple posting in your thread. Some punctuation would be nice too since you agreed to it.

If you expand on the details a bit, you could get more people involved, especially over here, where these sorts of things should be.

Alright thanks for the tip and i'm just changing the rules alot plus i'm a bad speller
 
Ok so we have $30k total to spend on a car of our choice with upgrades of our choice, which we will lap around Eiger Nordwand Short Track (normal direction) trying to get the fastest time possible... Yea?

stock
$13,552 Nissan Silvia Spec R Aero (S15)
PP: 424
Power: 230bhp
Weight: 1240kg
Torque: 26.7kgfm
laptime (first): 1.28.981 (bad spin)
laptime (best): 1.19.549 (lap 4/5)


Upgrade #1:
With the $16,448 I had left, I decided that the Silvia NEEDED better tyres. While I would have liked to bought full on racing softs, they cost upwards of 30k in themselves, so I settled for sports softs. Two stages better then the S15's standard sports hards.

Money spent:
$13,552: Car
$8,000: tyres
TOTAL: $21,552

PP, weight, power unchanged
Lap time (1st): 1.16.112
Lap time (best): 1.15.365 (5/5)


Upgrade #2
With just $8,448 left in the kitty I decided that it was time to look at the predictable stuff. I eventually settled on an oil change, a racing air filter & stage 1 weight reduction.

Money spent:
PRIOR TOTAL: $21,552
Oil change:$250
Air filter:$450
Weight reduction:$5000
TOTAL: $27,252

PP: 443
Power: 254bhp
Weight: 1165kg
Torque: 29.3
Laptime (1st): 1.14.507
Lap time (best): 1.13.869 (3/5)

Upgrade #3
So, with $2748 I'm running out of low options. So with my last scraps I decided on a sports ECU & a sports exhaust

Money Spent:
PRIOR TOTAL:$27,252
ECU:$1000
Exhaust: $1500
TOTAL: $29,752

PP: 458
Power: 285bhp
Weight: 1165kg
Torque: 31.4
Laptime (1st): 1.13.418
Laptime (best): 1.13.018 (5/5)


I must say this exercise has made me think alot more about whar the best way to spend credits in GT really is. Out of all the upgrades I did the tyres made the biggest difference, but they were the dearest. In the end, thanks to this competition I have a good little online rocket I got for the price of an evo. Thanks :)


P.s. I used a DFP with all aids off (ABS:1 & brake bias 5:5) in manual (sequential shifter mode)

Are Race/Cup cars allowed?
I know there are few cup cars that can be bought sub 25k and there were few race cars in OCD that were sub 25k too.

I got an Impreza Sedan WRX STi Version IV '97 from the recently updated UCD for
$19,132.

*Out of the UCD Run
No oil change
PP 441
Power 260 HP
Weight 1250 Kg
Torque 243 ft-lb
Ratio 4.73 Kg/HP
Time 1:17.961 best

*2nd Run
+$250.00 Oil change
$19.382.00
PP 449
Power 273 HP
Weight 1250 Kg
Torque 273 ft-lb
Ratio 4.50 Kg/HP
Time 1:17.219

*3rd Run
+1,000.00 ECU
+450.00 Racing Air Filter
+8,000.00 Sports soft Tires
+500.00 Catalytic Converter: Sports
$29,332.00
PP 468
Power 315 HP
Weight 1250 Kg
Torque 282 ft-lb
Ratio 4.50 Kg/HP
Time 1:12.294

All drving settings were off, except for the ABS at 1.

Please let me know if I missed anything. I figure that we can continue editing our runs until the deadline.
Also, I noticed that there are no rules about exchanging parts to try to come up with better times as long as they are not permanent tune-ups. If there is a rule about that, it would be nice to know so I can stop at my 3rd attempt since I can't buy anything else (maybe a wash).
 
Change of rules sorry to whoever spent hard time you can now spend 60,000 on the car and tuning and the reward is changed to winners choice between a lamborghini or ferrari
 
To sum up current rules:

Buy car a for 25,000 Cr. or less , then you have 35k to tune it up.
Total you can spend up to 60,000 Cr.

Track : Eiger Short (forward)

Deadline : September 1st 2011

Oil change , engine refresh, chassis refresh included in budget ? -- not specified
Cars allowed from OCD , UCD and NCD ? -- Yes
Race cars (cars that come with R1 tyres) allowed? -- not specified

I wouldn't imagine you'll get many if you keep changing the rules... :rolleyes: Rule #1 of creating a challenge is, "Do not change the rules half way through."

You may want to read rules from other, proper challenge threads, and maybe take part in a few others before attempting to (badly) run your own challenge. 💡

EDIT: Also moved to the correct forum.
