FITT Old Vs. New Hatchback Challenge

[coryclifford]

Six was dream, but touching it is not enough.

Oh? It'll hit 56s.

Hey, MCH, I see you got me for tuner tentative. I might as well be confirmed, and I might as well drive, too. I'd like to see/drive other people's cars because I do love the FWD cars and for me, you either tune it right, or it doesn't work.

 

[OdeFinn]

Oh? It'll hit 56s.

Yep, I'm not totally disappointed, let's see how others will end with this. It's not Ford or Mini.

 

[coryclifford]

Oh, OdeFinn, I thought you were talking about the older Mini?

As in, 56's. Cause you mentioned that earlier.

 

[Lionheart2113]

Looks like we'll be going toe to toe in the CR's 👍

That sounds like some fun. As long as both of us leave the Ford's in our dust. Has anyone confirmed to tuning those yet?

 

[coryclifford]

I'll get in the CR-Z rih nah.

 

[OdeFinn]

Mini was easy to drop 56, but I don't like idea of SH throwing corners. Bit more challenge, and funnier to drive is better.

I have no idea if the hondas will be up there with the new specs but I already started building a CRX and I really like the way it drives

You better V-Tech yourself before you V-Wreck (?) yourself


(sorry...)

Are you testing as well as tuning? I hope so because I am not that fast with a DS3 in my Mini's. It would be good to see if you get them to 1.56s if you are testing.

Got it. Thanks for signing up.

Test driving is such a good idea. It really helps to see how others have approached tuning. Everyone who test drives tends to learn more and get faster themselves for the next competition.

The CRX you'll like. I am currently almost identical in times between the Focus and CRX. It's the CRZ that is odd. I can make it quick, but it isn't much fun to drive. Just wondering if test drivers can master a tricky "glitched" tune in just a handful of laps. The CRZ may keep me away from this pair? But, on the other hand, I really love the CRX. It's kinda where the idea came from for building this competition.

Yeah I agree about the CRZ, its not slow but its very pedestrian to drive, not sure how I'm going to approach it really. That and needing a pitstop/restart after 5 laps might not endear it to the testers

Should be. It's VTEC. No H. Lol'd (at ya).

And this is why I stay away from puns

I was going to come back with a good pun but it would have been geologically incorrect and would have lost its humor.

Geologically incorrect puns are the best kind of puns

If I only had more time..Lack of time keeps me out from official testing, unofficially can do some cars.

@Motor City Hami .55 on CRX? Pretty fast if so. I'm assuming at focus is going on .55 as there was some saying earlier.

 

[Otaliema]

Well in that case.

Low 55s at that.

I've said too much.

I think the CRX has something for the Ford, but the younger brother is what might just set them apart.

 

[DaBomm4]

I think @Slender_Man is tuning the Focus pair, and I am going to be tuning the Focus for the challenge.

I agree, the CRX does have a nice feel to it, but the CRZ is not to my liking after a quick test drive with a base tune. I will also test the Life Step. Too bad we don't have a Prius that works in the 450PP range.

CRX at .55 range, that sounds fast.

 

[Brewguy44]

Yes, I am doing the Fords, I haven't driven them, so I figured I'd tune them, this looks like it's going to be fun 👍

 

[fordracer]

I didn't like the ST '13 on this track and now looking at other pairs.

 

[DolHaus]

I might jump in the Peugeots/Fiats if everyone else is going the the Fords and Hondas, just for the sake of variety

 

[DaBomm4]

I think there is at least one tuner on each pair except the Fiat, that is, as long as people stay with earlier discussion. I am not saying anyone needs to state their picks, just observing from the discussion through the thread.

If everyone submits tunes that are signed up, that's 36 tunes for one track so far! Wow! Gotta give it to those testers.

 

[Otaliema]

360 laps at Monaco gonna know that place really really well

Me too. . Started on the Peugeots last night. Was ok. Taking a look at the Fiats tonight.

You could probably apply for citizenship (and a nice tax exempt bank account) after spending all that time there

If only we could.

I think I remember Martin Brundle saying something like "If you think you know how much these apartments cost; add an extra zero to your best guess."

 

[coryclifford]

Brundle is THE man.
