RKM Motorsport - Tuned Tuners - May '13

[Turtle]

How on earth did you arse-drag that score? I call hacks!

Also I bit my lip today, hard. I have a job interview tomorrow. I hope my lip doesn't swell up or anything tonight.

Like I said, I got bored, and I have no school today. The cool thing is that all FFs I've tested so far can have identical or near-identical setups. Something like the way you tune your FFs normally, but over the top. Camber, toe, and LSD don't apply. You should try it, I've been doing this for 3 hours, and I'm having a blast! I'll tell how you tune them if anyone is interested.

How did you bite your lip? Also, good luck at your interview!

Roj, the RKM 787B just did the awesome time of 2:06.358, beating yours ESCUDO Dirt Trial Car. Back end little loose, gotta hammer the gas to keep it from spinning.

Oh I get it. Max/Min and that sort of stuff? I might try it later.

You know when you catch your lip when you're chewing food? Yeah, that. And thanks!

I didn't use an Escudo. I used the 787B too and I just cruised a gold time to get the event done.

 

[Michelin]

Then my eyes pulled a trap on me

And I just pulled 20818 on the Spa drift trial with the GT350R!

Yup, pretty much. I always try and make my FF drift cars look ridiculous by putting 10 rear camber. To be honest though, I think it doesn't really hurt doing that.

Oh, I see. That doesn't happen to me often but I have cuts all inside my mouth from my braces. I had a weird offset on my bite, so I needed some weird extra things and they cut me all the time.

The GT86's low-power didn't help at Spa I must admit. Couldn't break 18.5k. I decided to bust out the old Z32 and did 19.7k with that. Then I took the RX-7 I built for RJ out and got 19.7k out of that too. Maybe I should try a car with more than 400bhp for Spa...

​

Oh it hurts them, believe me.

Ah, that's awful. I hated having braces all those years ago. I demanded them off after a year.

My GT350R has 557bhp

For drifting it hurts them?

I get the things that are cutting me taken off in November, then I get braces on my bottom teeth and the November after that I'll have them taken off.

Well that explains it. 200bhp makes a bit of difference in scores.

Oh for drifting no. I meant grip.

 

[Turtle]

Oh for drifting no. I meant grip.

Yeah, I thought so. I just beat your score by 10 points in my Z33.
Edit: 21,201!

[VTiRoj]

21,320 here with the Z32. I decided to shove a massive turbo on it and play Michelin's power game.

Three can play at that game.

[Lampuhkap]

why not drift a 700hp Corvette?

 

[VTiRoj]

why not drift a 700hp Corvette?

Because it's overkill and sucks the fun out of the friendly competition.

 

[Dragonthing]

Because it wouldn't be as good as my 'Vette...the Green Dragon is stock at 515bhp and is amazing

 

[Achyllis]

And I'm behind you all with my Blitz Skyline at about 9.7k >

EDIT: just got gold trophy with 13.2k, huzzah!

 

[Turtle]

I just got 24,686 in my TVR. No. Not the one that every "tryhard" uses, I'm talking about the Tuscan Speed 6. Anyone who hasn't tried the Semi-Racing exhaust on this car needs to A.S.A.P. I was actually going to give up on this car, until I saw that I got pull over 7K points on the 3rd sector. Who needs a V8 or Turbochargers when you can have the most badass inline-six ever made?

~Turtle

​

 

[Achyllis]

Blitz has an inline-6 with a giant turbo standard, can we come to a compromise?

Meh, I'll think about it.

Ouch…not the best of times to have that, eh? Good luck tomorrow/today!

And we talking about drifting FFs, are we? That's a lot of fun.

It certainly is. The ridiculous amount of rear camber makes it even more fun. But sadly, FFs will never drift as well as a good ol' RWD car.

Using relatively normal tuning styles, I can only ever get it to kick under braking.

Wait, are you talking about FFs? If so you need to hold the handbrake through the corner, but you probably already knew that. I can help you with setting it up if you need it.

~Turtle

​

Yea, talking about FFs. I know that, I just like the lift off oversteer I get with a relatively normal setting for the suspension. Eh, thanks for the offer, but drifting is always better with RWD and when you've done the tuning yourself.

 

[VTiRoj]

Just came back from the interview, wish me luck for next week.

Yup, couldn't have said it better myself.

Totally just found a 1944 penny in my jar 👍

 

[Michelin]

21,320 here with the Z32. I decided to shove a massive turbo on it and play Michelin's power game.

If I haven't felt a pain in the stomach and rest the whole afternoon, I would've beaten your score by now.. But things usually don't go according to the plans..

I think it might be time to pull out my drift beast.....
