Your comments:

Do takes notes on it's behavior while in the turn and ect. The car will have to be driven accordingly to it's specs for better performance. NOTE that there will be the present AWD push. That can be fixed by letting the car settle down then giving it throttle upon exit. Also note where the car was Tested on, which track.

Thanks!

The gear ratios can be found in the STOCK 2nd Gen STi in GT3. but I gave them to you anyway up there...be as technical as you want.

EDIT: It may help if you give it a good dozen of laps at certain tracks.
 
Turn-in response:8/10
Cornering Stability:8/10
Exit stabiliy:9/10
Exit Yaw angle:/7.5/10
Braking:10/10
Trail Braking:9/10
Gearing:10/10
Basicly this car drove like a dream, I liked the JDM gear ratios alot. I noticed there was some understreer present, but thats expected. The lsd could be tuned more and the suspension it self still has more tuning to be done to it. I didnt notice lots of un needed weight transfer ex. the body roll was taking care of and the weight shifted fine. The gear ratios are very cool since they came from a jdm impreza, for a 550hp this car handled well.
Overall Score:
9/10
 
I kinda wanted to do a video review of a car, maybe I could do it with yours. I still have to find the time to do it though, maybe tonight.
 
Bill-182, you can surely do that! It'll be great to watch!

Maybe I can throw in my Impreza for comparison. It's not up to snuff on the HP, but that can always be fixed.

What color/rims do you have on it?
 
iam looking forward to try this car but i cant cause im very busy with my studies ,if i have a free time ,i will try it :D
 
It's a gear trick. Set the final to 3.200-3.300, then adjust the Auto to 24-26 or near there so you reset the gearset to new ratios, which then you can zero in on the ratio.

The car is white, it has Rays Engineering TE37's. You can surely throw in your Impreza for comparision as well, it'll be great! 2 settings going at it!

Bronze or white, and 4 or 5 lug? :)

Plus, how many miles you have on your car? Mine's at 540 with 6 miles on the clock, so I assume your HP was after the break in period.

My Car has 480ish miles, run more and I lose HP so I'm at the threshold of losing HP. The Wheels are the ones which look like the spokes are arched, the other similar Rays wheel's spokes are flat. They're white with 5 lugs I think. As long as it's the one with somewhat curved/arched spokes.

My cars I run all of them to 200 miles and then do an oil change and wash them up.:) My Impreza starts losing HP after like 500miles.
 
hi any chance of converting it to MPEG???
otherwise i see it in tiny piss anyonying chunks

fuji and I use the same settings on our imprezas....expcept mines are tweaked a bit differently.......we're able to run 1:47 on grand valley. and the car doesn't understeer as much as it did in your vid. it does understeer here and there but eh? it's natural in an AWD car. your line and positions were sorta off....the car is also tuned to power into the turn. all your braking and shifting has to be down before entering the turn not during the turn. run a few more laps until you really get the hang of it....the review will be much better......btw....how do you make vids from gt3 replays? i can upload one of my replays to show you.....
 
I have the vision of your car in my mind, and I especially like it, could you please post a picture of it, or is that in your avatar?
 
yeah well i drive much better then that.... i was just rushed to put the vid together and after my capture card stop working so i only had that vid on my pc...but my card is back so...

...so are we looking forward to a new vid?:D

A fast time would be anywhere in the 1:47's. Average should be 1:49. First timers should be 1:50's.
