Need help tuning my Impreza LM to fit my needs.

For are you tuner junkies that really know what you're doing, I need your help.

Right now the car handles pretty well and has decent accelleration etc. It handles the quarter mile in 9.750 seconds.

What I'd like to be able to do, is keep the accelleration great, and the top speed well suited for the car. Right now it goes to about 197 mph. Also, right now there is no oversteer. Well, virtually none. I'd like to have just enough for it to powerslide around corners.

All help will be greatly appreciated.

Rear Toe to -2.0.

Yes... a tip that I learned from the F1 cars... I never used to play with toe until I had an F1 and noticed that it was a lot different from anything else..

Another one I change is the camber on the tyres... but that does tend to increase tyre wear!!

My ex-Impreza LM's had the JDM STi gear ratios with a 3.500 final drive. If you know what they are then first set the final drive to 3.900, then turn the auto set to 26, lastly you just adjust the gear ratios to the STi's.

The STi gear ratios can be found on the STi in the game. You just go buy a STi (the bug eyed ones) and look in the settings for the gear ratios, write them down and stick them onto you LM's racing tranny. These gear ratio are plenty good already and that's as real as it gets.

You should try setting the spring rates equal or a litte more in the rear. AWD cars you have to realise that there will be that AWD push so having the spring rates harder in the rear will help out when you're powering out of corners. It keeps the rearend from squating and less front-end lift. You can also set the front rebound dampers higher so the front end doesn't lift as quick too.

Set your toe front and rear 'out'. It'll have some more wear but that's what you're going to sacrafice when you're wanting more performance out of your vehicle.

With stiff spring rates i.e. 14kg-ish, I don't really put alot of camber in because the car doesn't lean as much thus no need for a lot of camber. IF GT3 had it where I can see the tire temp across the tire then I can probably tune in the camber but it doesn't.
