Well first of the two i have is: 1986 Toyota MR2 1600 G-Limited SC

Parts:
Racing Exhaust
Racing Chip
Twin Plate Clutch
Stage 2 N/A tune up
Fully Customizable Suspention
Close Ratio Tranny
Oil Change

Suspention Settings:
Spring Rate= 2.4/6.4
Ride Height= 100/100
Shock Bound= 3/10
Shock Rebound= 3/10
Camber= 2.0/1.0
Toe= 0/0
Stabalizers= 4/4

This was i car i built on a $50,000 budget and pushes out 201HP @6400RPM and 191lbs tq @4400RPM
The Quarter mile time is: 14.422
The 1000m Time is: 26.020
Top Speed 135.33MPH




and the second is my 1997 Toyota MR2 GT-S "Drag Car"

Parts:
Racing Exhaust
Racing Chip
Soft Slicks
Nitrous
Stage 3 Turbo
Racing Intercooler
Fully Customizable Suspention
Close Ratio Tranny
Tripple Plate Clutch
Racing Flywheel
Fully Customizable LSD
Stage 3 Weight Reduction
Roll Cage
Oil Change

Suspention Settings:
Only change the Ride Height to 90mm front and 90mm rear

Make sure you chose the first transmision availible, and have the nitrous turned all the way up.

I just wanted to build a drag car that can produce a good time
Quarter Mile Time= 9.640 w/nitrous and 11.280 w out/nitrous
1000m Time= 18.980 w/nitrous and 20.865 w out/nitrous
Top Speed 147.33MPH
418HP@6000RPM
353.25 lbs tq@4000RPM
 
Have you tested these on circuits with corners and uneven surfaces?

I would expect you to get a certain degree of difficulty with corner entry oversteer and exit understeer with such a soft front-end and stiff rear-end.
 
I'll see if I can beat that MR2 time. In the meantime, if you are after Toyota tunes, I've got a couple in the Tuner Garages thread in this section. An ST165 GT-Four and a '70 Celica 1600GT that I call the GT-Two, a silver medallist in the Vintage Tuner Cup. :trouble: Try them out and have some fun with them, I urge you to. :D
 
Sukerkin, it does work and yes i have tested on some tracks about 6 if i remember right. And i dont think that it has understear or any of that but that's how im used to racing, with saying that it may have to much over or understear for somepeople. Mafia_Boy ill check they out, and thakns
 
Hmm - I may have to give that (the "1986 Toyota MR2 1600 G-Limited SC") a go.

What tyres are on it? Also, did you do a chassis refresh after buying it or is it running in 'second hand' trim (I'm guessing the latter given the cost constraints)?

I'm sure I set one of these up a long time ago ... once I've finished running the Japanese GT for 200 A-Spec again (in a Shelby Series 1 this time) I'll dig it out and do a compare and contrast. It won't be the first time that a set-up that shouldn't work behaves just fine in GT :lol:.
 
Well on the old Toyota I just bought it used, didn't do the chassis refresh and it has the stock tires it came with. Ya it handles great in my eyes but everyone drives different. Aight tell me when you find your setup and what all they are like lol.
 
:D

Hi '92_NSX, I've had a look at my tune on the old G-Limited SC and I don't think it'd be a fair comparison as not only have I refreshed the chassis but I've added the Roll-Cage and am also carrying 200KG Ballast on S1 tyres. Also, she's Black Oil with no power-mods and running a meagre 128HP. Clearly she was an A-Spec build :).

Just for info, my chassis settings were:

Springs: 8.0/12.0
Ride: 112/112
Damper B: 5/6
Damper R: 9/8
Camber: 3.0/2/0
Toe: 0/0
Stabs: 6/6

As you can see a much stiffer set of under-pinnings but with the dampers ratio'd to help late braking and early power-on out of corners.

I've got four of these and altho' two are 'low mileage specials' I do have an unmodified one available so I can apply your hardware and settings and let you know how she handles for me.
 
Hi NSX

I did some experiments at R246, a favourite of mine for trying out the high speed cornering and direction-change characteristics of a car.

Using the settings you worked up, I got a best lap of 2'03.138 with ASM/TCS at default and 2'00.619 with them turned off. I found that altho' the back end was somewhat 'slippery', feeling like it had no solid contact and had a tendency to instantaneous weight transfer, it was actually really driveable. I was very surprised, for the reluctance to turn in followed by a feeling of oversteer were there, as was the 'push' on corner exit if you gunned her but she drove through it all quite nicely. I meant to do a tyre wear run but I ran out of time tonight so I can't say what that is like i.e. these results are all in Free Run and so may be off kilter somewhat.

So, despite their 'odd' appearance on first glance your set-up works really well 👍.

I then tried to 'spanner' her in an orthodox fashion and this is what I came up with:

Parts:
Racing Exhaust
Racing Chip
Twin Plate Clutch
Stage 2 N/A Tune
Racing Suspension
Close Ratio Gearbox
Oil Change

Suspension Settings:
Spring Rate= 4.0/6.0
Ride Height= 112/112
Shock Bound= 6/7
Shock Rebound= 7/9
Camber= 1.9/1.3
Toe= +1/+1
Stabalisers= 4/4

I didn't expect to have to go so hard with the Dampers but I suppose that's because of the Chaotic Floppyness (TM :D) of the worn-out chassis. I got a best lap of 1'58.737 with her dialed in like that.

I don't know if she'll suit you set up that way but by all means give her a fair trial and see what you think.
 
:D

Nice setup 👍

Now I'm off to try the setup mentioned above by NSX Type R :sly:
