Limited triple payout on Seasonal's

[fitftw]

rather than buy 20mil cars (I can eventually just birthday glitch them, right?) I'm just going to save this huge amount of cash for modding my current cars and buying cheap cars.

Which turbo is best to use for the eifel race? And which car?

There's a thread in the seasonals forum with lap and race times for the Kei car Eifel race. Fastest race time I've seen there is 2:41.601. The Daihatsu Mira/Cuore TR-XX so far is the fastest.
Turbo size depends on the car and weather you are using automatic or manual transmission.

Yeah I think 20 million is too much to spend on a car. I'd rather do the birthday glitch to get the 20 million cars.

If I'm using automatic transmission which transmission is best?

I can vouch for the Mira Avanzato being arguably the best option for this race. My best 3 lap time was in the 2:44.xx range, no lie. Best single lap time was 55.0xx, if I remember correctly. This car alone made me spend a long time searching for it just to do this seasonal.

I was so happy when I got someone to trade me one. It has been the best choice for me and I call mine the "Silver Bullet" since I painted it silver chrome, lol.

Day late and dollar short as the saying goes but the Daihatsu Cuore is the same as the Mira. If anyone wants one send me a message here and an invite on PSN (same username both places) Have problems with PSN not liking my connection so might take me a bit to respond there.

Dang that is fast!...Outta my league for sure..

 

[Ferrari_1996]

So high RPM turbo is better when using auto transmission?

On the Mira/Cuore the stage 3 turbo is probably the best option for an automatic as it makes top bhp and torque closer to redline with little drop off past peak. Also has slightly lower PP fully tuned than the stage 2 so will require less ballast/power limiter to reach 420 PP.
Also the racing transmission is a must on most of these cars as you'll hit the top speed/rev limiter on the other transmissions.

I just bought a Saleen S7. I saw it in the UCD once or twice but never had the 500k. I love having all these millions of dollars lol.

What about the Mazda Autozam? What turbo for hat? I'm probably going to use the 5 speed transmission thing in the tuning shop, is that good?

I'd need to check one out in my garage. Give me a couple minutes.

Off the top of my head though I'd say the race transmission is a better option. Think the top speed on the 5 speed will be set to low.

Okay looking at it doesn't seem to be a lot of difference in peak Bhp between the 3 turbos. (Stage 1 - 140 bhp, stage 2 - 144 bhp, stage 3 - 150 bhp, engine still breaking in so these numbers may not be final.)
Defiantly want to ballast this car, and not use the power limiter, as this let's you bring it to 50/50 weight distribution and much less likely to slip the rear end out. Also ballast gives a better power to weight ratio than the power limiter does.

Do you mean fully customisable transmission?

Yes.

 

[Ferrari_1996]

Yes.

What gear ratios/top speed?

 

[Capt Air]

update: 57.384 lap

And I thought my 1:01:802 without any aids on was Fast.. (Using Maxed out Cappuccino RM with the power limiter down to make the PP 420)

 

[XDesperado67]

What gear ratios/top speed?

Alright did a little quick testing (and picked up some nice spare change ) Boy am I rusty on this track and in this car.

Set top speed to 112 mph, didn't fiddle with the gear ratios, top observed speed (and still making the corner) was 105 mph but like I said I'm rusty (plus not a great driver).
5 speed transmission is locked at 106 mph so don't expect over the 103 mph I observed.

Both stage 2 and stage 3 turbo make top torque numbers at 5400 rpm. Think the stage 3 has a little less fall off past peak, but it makes about 10 ft/lb less torque so don't expect much difference in speed and elapsed time.

Ok what's the ballast position/weight?

 

[XDesperado67]

Ok what's the ballast position/weight?

Position is -44 weight is going to be around 91 kg, maybe a touch higher with full break in of engine.

Ok thanks. Which car is this for?

 

[XDesperado67]

The Mazda Autozam. Thought that was the one you originally asked about.

Also after removing the rear aero wing that I had on the car initially the stage 3 turbo is defiantly faster than the stage 2 with an automatic transmission. Also definatly requires the race transmission as I've hit 107 mph with it.

 

[fitftw]

I hit 105mph with just the close-ratio gearbox. Bought every top-of-the-line part, then detuned to meet the PP requirement. I'm going to mess with the spring rates and might be able to hit 56's then.

Close ratio maxes out at 106 mph. With the race transmission you can get the Autozam up to at least 107.

Still slow compared to some others though it looks cool.

I've been using the Daihatsu Move and consistently getting 2'53" or 2'52" I tried the Mira and it was way slower. Hmmm.

 

[fitftw]

I'll try my Cappuccino and see if it's faster than the AZ-1. I'll die before I drive a Daihatsu.

Did you give it a maximum modification?

 

[Instrumental]

Not maximum because the few that I added already put it way over the PP limit (So I used the power limiter to keep it at the max). I got height adjustable suspension and full mod transmission as well as the best drivetrain mods, also put some racing mids on it. It just doesn't accelerate like the Daihatsu Move does.

You need to max the Mira out then use combination of ballast and power limiter to get back to PP limit.

Got something against Toyota's?

 

[fitftw]

I had no idea Toyota and Daihatsu are the same? I like the AE86 and MR2 and first generation GS300/Aristo but for some reason I hate the Supra.
