Testers! Don't forget to send me the cars, once you're done!

Also, I'm not having any luck with the UCD. :(

I've been so busy lately and when I'm home I've been feeling too lazy to post my setup but its shared and I already have all three testers in my friends' list so you can just borrow it for testing.

I can't wait to see the results.
 
Mind being a bit…more specific?

Everything besides the Hommell, S14, Mira, 120i, and Slender's MR-S.

:scared:

EDIT: How different would online be from offline?

If not much, then borrowing is fine.

I've shared my MR2, in case you were completely blind for a moment and missed my post on the previous pages. :p

Everyone else should have sent their cars to either Tak or Slender, so go bug them for the cars. :p
 
I think Tak has my Hommell. If so ask him to send it to you Mat.👍👍

It's the same as long as the tire wear is set appropriately. If you want the same physics in either mode:

Online / Offline
Tire wear on + Tire wear on = same
Tire wear off + Tire wear off = same
Tire wear on + Tire wear off = not same
 
Slender_Man's Touge 200 Results

Track Settings Used:
Track Grip: Real
Tyre Wear: Off
Laps Given: 3 Laps
Sector Used: Sector 3 (Twisty Section)

Results & Scores:

R1600Turbo – Nissan Silvia S13 Q's '91
Sector time: 1:00.105
My impressions: Being a fan of the S-Chassis I was looking forward to testing an S13 on the Touge. This S13 has good grip and L.S.D. and I found the slight looseness on corner exits to be quite enjoyable, But I found the suspension to be a bit stiff on entry…
Accelaration wise is okay but on the uphill parts of the track I found it sluggish and 4th gear I found to be a bit long (That maybe down to PD’s ratio’s in game). I also believe that this tune with more power would make a fun drift car.
Pros:
- Good Rotaion
- Good L.S.D. Tuning
Cons:
- Slightly sluggish on uphill sections
- Bit Stiff in corner Entry
My Score: 95/100


Slender_Man – Toyota MR-S V Edition '02
Sector Time: 0:58.850
My impressions: On choosing this small mid-ship car I went for overall balance with a good amount of grip whilst trying to maintain the fun factor of the car. The Super GT ratio’s from the Superautobacs MR-S feel suited to the track and combined with the L.S.D. it gives great traction on the track.
However I have noticed I have a stiff mid-exit setup just like my Touge Max GT-R.
Pros:
- Good Rotaion
- Good Transmission
- Great Accelaration & Traction
Cons:
- Stiff Mid-Exit Cornering
My Score: 99/100


Ridox2JZGTE – Nissan Silvia S14 Q's Aero '96
Sector time: 0:59.961
My impressions: The second S-Chassis on the Touge today is an S14. After a few turns I noticed this car had great balance & grip, Rotation is just right on this car and I thought it was well tuned.
Although it had some mild understeer mid corner, I still rate this tune highly, Well Tuned 👍
Pros:
- Good Rotaion
- Great Grip and Balance
- Well Tuned
Cons:
- Mild understeer mid corner
My Score: 99/100

XDesperado67 – Hommel Berlinette R/S Coupe ‘99
Sector time: 0:59.419
My impressions: A French car on the Touge… Well looks wise it’s not a pretty thing but once you take it out for a drive it changes into a whole other animal. The grip is fantastic & the rotation is spot on, But I did find I was getting some Oversteer on exiting some of the tighter turn’s. Apart from this minor problem I cannot fault this car.
Pros:
- Great Rotation
- Great Grip and Balance
- Good Transmission Ratios
Cons:
- Mild Oversteer on exit of tight turns
My Score: 99/100

SolidSnake7735 – Honda Civic SIR-II (EG) ‘95
Sector time: 1:00.609
My impressions: I’ll admit I’m not a big fan of FWD tuning but when I Finally got my hands on Snake’s Touge built Civic I was impressed by the work put he had into this car. The car feels kinda stiff when on cold tyres, But once the tyres had warmed up I noticed to full potential of the car. The only thing that lets this car down for me is the Stock transmission as I was having the bounce it of the limiter like a true Vtec child to get any power out of the next gear.
Pros:
- Good Rotaion
- Good Grip
- No wheelspin out of tight turns
Cons:
- Stock Transmission
My Score: 98/100

BobbyBRAKEaNek – BMW 120i ‘04
Sector time: 0:58.807
My impressions: Wow the tune on this 1 Series is great. Great speed, Rotation & Acceleration makes this car a good package for the Touge. Bobby has also managed to cure the front heaviness of the car that I seem to find on all BMW’s in the game. However on several turns I was getting oversteer, Not enough to spin out, But enough to slow the car’s exit speed I little bit.
Pros:
- Great Rotation
- Great Transmission
Good Speed
Cons:
- Oversteer in places
My Score: 98/100

RobRabbitMan – Honda Integra Type R (DC2) ‘99
Sector time: 0:59.569
My impressions: Another Fwd Honda in the form of the DC2 Integra Type R from Rob has got me in the mood for some good Vtec screams. The car has a good amount of speed & grip and I was impressed by the lack of wheelspin on corner exits. However I felt the car needs more rotation in some of the turns as I was pulling out much wider then than Snakes Civic.
Pros:
- Good Grip & Balence
- Good L.S.D. Tuning
- Good Speed
Cons:
- Needs More Rotation
My Score: 99/100

JC18137 – Daihatsu MIRA TR-XX Avanzato R ‘97
Sector time: 1:00.593
My impressions: Now I’ve seen and raced against JC’s car for a while now but never fully tested one of his creations, Until now that is….. JC has picked a Kei car for this class and I thought it had very good acceleration for its size. Rotation was good but I felt it was quite stiff in the turns as well as the front end being pulled wide mid turn…
Pros:
- Good acceleration
- Nice exhaust note
Cons:
- Quite Stiff
- Pulling wide mid turn
My Score: 94/100

Onboy123 – Toyota MR-S Spyder (6MT) ‘02
Sector time: 0:58.818
My impressions: Another 6 speed MR-S in T200, And this one is from Onboy… First thing I noticed that he has chosen to go Wingless with his. Acceleration is great and I was nearly hitting top speed on the main straight. Rotation is spot on, But I felt some stiffness on Mid turn to exit as well as soon oversteer on some of the transitions between turns. Other than this I found the car was very quick.
Pros:
- Great Acceleration
- Good Rotation
Cons:
- Stiff Mid-Exit of turns
- Oversteer on some turn transitions
My Score: 98/100

TakumiFuji01 – Honda CRX SiR ‘90
Sector time: 1:00.234
My impressions: Tak has brought a CRX to the Touge and my initial impression of the car was that its acceleration is very good. In the turns I thought the car was a bit soft in the front end causing the car to push wide mid turn on some of the tighter turns. The rotation is good on the car as well, I also believe 5th gear could be a little bit longer.
Pros:
- Good Rotaion
- Good Acceleration
Cons:
- A bit soft
- 5th gear to short
My Score: 96/100

These are my Final results for this class. i have enjoyed testing all the tunes and i'm looking forward to Touge 300... 👍
 
Impressed. Not a bad time compared to the MR's, and not a bad score either. 👍 Can't wait to see what the other testers thought of every car.
 
So…great acceleration (thanks RJ), nice rotation (and again, thanks RJ!), and the oversteer…that's me. :lol:
 
Good stuff Slender and a very nice time.👍👍

Find it amusing that you agree with me that the car can over rotate a bit exiting some corners while mike_gt3 felt the rear was to well planted.:lol:
Of course mike was running it on the ring and not Akina so track surface may be part of that.:odd:

Results & Scores:

R1600Turbo - Nissan Silvia S13 Q's '91
Sector time: 35.643
My impressions: This is my first time driving a S13 on the Touge and I really like the overall feel of this car. The car is a good tuning base! The cornering and LSD work well that it's a perfect setup for courses like this. The car did lack in terms of acceleration but I like it. The Cross Mission was quite good too! I prefer this for the Special Award
Pros:

- Cross Mission was good!
Cons:
- Lacks in terms of acceleration
My Score: 95/100


Slender_Man - Toyota MR-S V Edition '02
Sector Time: 34.480
My impressions: Since I'm in charge of tuning the Maou MR-S, I decided to compare a bit in terms of tuning concepts. This MR-S is quite fast and marks a familiar time as the Maou MR-S. I like how the car didn't have a really hard rear feel like the Maou and was still stable. It felt a little stiff.
Pros:
- Good Rotation
- Good Transmission
- Great Acceleration & Traction
- Really Stable
Cons:
- Little Stiff
My Score: 96/100


Ridox2JZGTE - Nissan Silvia S14 Q's Aero '96
Sector time: 35.122
My impressions: Like the S13, this my first time driving a S14 on the Touge. This car has really cornering and the suspension, tire and overall balance is great. It's well tuned. It seems though the cross mission might be a little close though. Have to use 3rd gear to drift.
Pros:
- Good Rotation
- Great Grip and Balance
- Well Tuned
Cons:
- Gearbox feels little too close
My Score: 94/100

XDesperado67 - Hommel Berlinette R/S Coupe '99
Sector time: 34.694
My impressions: This car felt like a MR-S and Elise. The car was really maneuverable and ran decently well. The car did oversteer a bit but I didn't mind since the Touge is more fun that way.
- Great Rotation
- Great Grip and Balance
- Good Transmission Ratios
- Oversteer that made the car useful for Short Drifts at certain sections
Cons: None
My Score: 100/100

SolidSnake7735 - Honda Civic SIR-II (EG) '95
Sector time: 35.343 *34.751 w/ ATS 3-5 Crossed Mission*
My impressions: This EG6 was really amazing. I can't believe how much information it's given to me while trying out this thing. I decided to run with the ATS Crossed Mission and Stock. I felt the Stock Tranmission was too far apart for the course. I really like the Engine and Suspension. The LSD was setup pretty good too.
Pros:
- Good Rotation
- Good Grip
- No wheelspin out of tight turns
- Great Suspension and LSD Setup
- Engine was good
Cons:
- Stock Transmission
My Score: 97/100

BobbyBRAKEaNek - BMW 120i '04
Sector time: 35.804
My impressions: This is my first time in a BMW and it felt kind of sluggish but overall was great. The car did oversteer in a few places. Does this car belong to the Touge, though?(the design-wise).
Pros:
- Great Rotation
- Great Transmission
- Good Speed
Cons:
- Oversteer in places
- Look of the car
My Score: 93/100

RobRabbitMan - Honda Integra Type R (DC2) '99
Sector time: 34.563
My impressions: This car was amazing! Transmission would match at certain section and the car would dive in with no harsh movements. This VTEC is a Monster! The most thing I love was the engine, the engine was good. The Type R Emblem represents the Honda Racing Spirit. The braking was a quick reaction and was perfect. It felt like a Touring Car! Was a little stuff but ran like a Type R.
Pros:
- Good Grip & Balance
- Good L.S.D. Tuning
- Great Brakes
- Great Engine
- Good Suspension and Rotation
- Runs like a Honda!
- Feels like a Touring Car
Cons:
- Runs kind of stiff
My Score: 100/100

JC18137 - Daihatsu MIRA TR-XX Avanzato R '97
Sector time: 35.256
My impressions: This is my first time driving a Daihatsu and this car seemed okay. The car was quite stiff and it had a bit of understeer. I really like the concept of a Kei's Car on the Touge though.
Pros:
- Good acceleration
- Good Car
Cons:
- Quite Stiff
- Pulling wide mid turn
- Felt Dull
My Score: 93/100

Onboy123 - Toyota MR2 Spyder (6MT) '02
Sector time: 34.320
My impressions: This MR2 felt pretty good and fun. The car was really fast and the Crossed Mission matches the course well. The ABS somehow kicked in and had a awkward feel. The car has some oversteer but I enjoyed it with bit of drifting. Really like though it's still stable and clocks the FASTEST Time!
Pros:
- Great Acceleration
- Good Rotation
- Good Suspension
- Crossed Mission is perfect!
- Oversteer on some turn transitions but fun for few sections to drift
Cons:
- Felt Stiff
- Braking feel kicks in
My Score: 96/100

TakumiFuji01 - Honda CRX SiR '90
Sector time: 35.027
My impressions: This is a CRX that Snake donated for me after I retired my Roadster. The car was tuned mainly for Short Courses and Akina. The Cross Mission was based on ATS 3-5. I really like the Engine and how well it could run.
Pros:
- Good Rotation
- Good Acceleration
- Good Suspension
- Crossed Mission was good
- Amazing Motor
Cons:
- 5th gear felt too short for main straight away(but won't be bothered)
My Score: 96/100

That's my results! Later! :P Some of the Pros and Cons that Shadow said were what I thought too.

Thanks for the test and review Tak, nice time as well.👍👍

I am a little confused though...you say no cons and it has one of the faster times yet you gave it one of the lower scores. Curious as to what it got marked down in scoring for so I can work to make my next entry better.:D
