Did someone say Monaro :drool: :bowdown: 👍

Indeed. A 500pp Sports hard, 500pp sports soft and a 550pp sports soft version. The sports soft versions are done but I am not 100% happy with the sports hard version at the moment.

Awesome work 👍

Wouldn't be testing them at Bathurst by any chance?

I suppose if you do a little badge-engineering, you can take them to the UK tracks as a Vauxhall :D

hi , im suprised that your tunes are so fantastic , they give another driving experience , but i have a question , your tunes with SS tires , can i also equip RH ? thanks
Click to expand...
Theoretically RH tyres should work on ss tyres but you may not get the feedback that ss tyres give you. If you find that a tune you like doesn't work that well on RH tyres, let me know which tune it is.

The first course of action i take when swithcing tires on a particular tune, in this case SH instead of SS, is to tinker with the LSD setting to get more of a feel for what the car is doing.

As we all know harder tires don't have as much grip as the softer compound. More prone to loose grip both in accel and lateral grip. Accel part is easily handled by tweaking the LSD. Lateral grip loss is a whole other matter. I tend to loosen up the supension a bit in order to use the car's weight to force the harder tires to grip.

Basically it all comes down to trial and error.

Hope that clears out any questionmarks that may have been present..

A few glitches in Word-GTPlanet but nothing a few back space buttons won't fix :) This tune is for starters. Im afraid you will have to wait till have I have full internet available before I upload them all. :) Enjoy this one though.

Thank you. I have been a busy bee. Glad you like the tune. If only I could get the sports hard version of this car to be the same I'd be a happy bee :)

I agree with you both of you.
I'm not a tuner myself, but having watched Motorsport for over 25 years, I've learnt that the usual method for adjusting to less grip conditions on a wet track, is to soften it up. If that's just backing of on the anti-roll bars or going further and changing springs & shocks so it makes sense to adopt this method for a tyre with less grip. Great advice guys 👍 :)


shaunm80
@Pete05 - Make that 2 Holdens :) Just tuned up the SS version as well. I thought you'd appreciate that.

To everyone else... 20 tunes created and counting.. A lot of new toys heading your way.
Click to expand...
I like, I like a lot :D
The 4-door SS has never handled as well as the Monaro,in my opinion, and yet in the real world, you'd be very switched on if you could tell the difference without looking in the rear view mirror.
PD trickery maybe :odd:

Finally, I hope you're settling in to married life in the new abode, finding places for everything, haven't discovered anything has vanished and look forward to the results of your hard work with these new toys when you're back on the planet instead of in orbit :P
