Hi All,
I've been using this car since I first got GT5, and I didn't really use it for drifting until about 6 months or a year ago. I got fed up with racing, and drifting after work seemed much more therapeutic. Now I spend 90% of my GT5 time on drifting.
I've posted this since I've grown quite attached to this car.... but I'm not sure if it might be set up a bit strangely compared to some drift cars. It works well for me and I've deliberately kept the power low. It's quite capable of showing understeer in certain situations, but I like this as I can compensate with slipping the rear wheels with throttle.
Anyway, here are the settings: The reason some things aren't maxxed out is because when I first bought this car I intended to keep it vaguely "street-tuned" rather than a 100% lightened, lowered, super-tuned racer.
Bread's Silvia

ECU
NA+1
Intake:
Racing Air Filter
Sports Intake Mani
Exhaust:
Sports cat
Sports Exh Mani
Semi Racing Exhaust
Stock Turbo (rarely, for high speed tracks, I'll put in the low RPM turbo. Might need to change the gearbox to stock depending on track)
Transmission:
5-Speed Close Ratio**
Drivetrain
Single plate clutch
Sports Flywheel
LSD 5/8/5 ***
Suspension F/R
RH 20/25 ****

Toe -0.15/+0.15
Brake Balance 7/5
CH tyres
NO AIDS, and NO ABS
notes
* I stuck chassis reinforcement on ages ago. I honestly don't know if it helps of hinders. Sadly it's irreversible and I didn't want to sell the car and build another.
** I've not used a custom box as I've found this works for me. Might be something I change in the future.
*** A diff this open could be considered sacrilege around here!... I've tried more locked ones, and have always come back to this - I genuinely prefer it.
**** Yes this isn't lowered much, but I didn't want something that bottomed out constantly (not that I think GT handling models the violence of hitting a bump stop very well).
I find that this car is reasonably responsive enough in transitions and entries, but has some "cushion" when applying the gas so it won't instantly lose the back end (probably helped by the low power). But then again, I'm biased as I've been driving it for hours (days!?). I'm not sure if anyone else finds this but after driving something for ages you start to wonder if you're tuning it or it's tuning you.
I usually drive on Deep Forest, Trial Mountain or Grand Valley Speedway. Deep Forest video below *mods if this should be in the video section as a separate thread I'm happy to move it*
Dodgy line after long tunnel, turned in too late. Grass needed a trim though! And I got a bit carried away on the last corner.
Comments and criticisms welcome.
Cheers,
Bread
