Wow, im sorry to hear that Leonidae. Great idea Pyrelli, since I dont have enough creds (65k) to test the other competitors cars it would be nice to see a video of them.

if you have a ps3 you can DL a preade gamesave and put it in your internal memory card in ps2 format.
 
You can also AR Max a new gamesave, with a ton of cash.
 
Nope no PS3 yet. But im currently going through GT3 again and and I should be almost done and on my way to re-due GT4.
 
Pyrelli, I could get the PDF file finally. too bad that you weren't able to save the lap with the Focus.

Yea that was a shame, I went back to your car after Rotary's and lapped faster than before straight away. I guess it got to my head and I thought I could go faster so I just carried straight on :ouch:

I have the previous fastest lap though, and that was only about a tenth or so slower.

Pyrelli

Edit: I'll try and get the replays up as soon as possible too.
 
Well I'm getting closer to finalizing my scores, but the reason why I'm making a post is I have a funny story to share with y'all :scared:

I was on the 5th lap of testing RJ's ITR, coming back uphill, went through the left sweeper and then was making my way up the right-hand sweeper before the start/finish line, hitting the bumps (which in this car is quite rough), turning right just slightly, when all of a sudden the rear starts jumping around like crazy, so much it actually spun me out !, No joke if you guys want I can upload the replay file for proof, and it wasn't just like a slide or something (The car barely fits in the alley sideways) it was a full 180'

I'm starting to believe the notes, this car seems to have a mind of its own, almost like Grim R34per from MFT
 
just one question: how the heck are you making all those T1 times??? i couldn't get anywhere near 39.xxx .., my average sector time was always in the 40.xxx range.., how are you all doing that??? :confused: :confused:
 
That's one reason, the other is Citta isn't a favourite track of most of us. You should've seen me when I started off in the Primera. :lol:

Thanks for the review Pyrelli, it was great to get some more constructive feedback on it. 👍

Roj, it's battle of the wooden spoon mate between us. :lol:

Pretty much for all the cars, the most important bit for a good sector time is to nail the left hander right before the start line. Do that and the extra speed up to the top equates to more than a car length or two. Use a higher gear in the quick left-right chicane if possible and that should make everything easier.

I actually really liked your car, I think you're just unlucky that the competition was so close and no-one had a bad car; from what I remember yours was one of the quickest when I tested 👍

Pyrelli
 
It is up there in split times and such. 3rd fastest from you and Holdenboy, 2nd from RJ. Not bad for something that's normally parked at the bowling club with the grannies. :lol:

Bahahaha. :lol:

For a couple of guys who spent most of a day saying how the others car was better, we're doing pretty badly overall eh? :lol:

Just wait until RWD Mafs, your S14 stands no chance! :D:tup:

:lol: Yeah we are. It's all good, it's up to Kent to split the worst of the worst between us :lol::lol::sly:

Have you actually driven mine?? ;) I've taken yours for a rap around Citta and while it has the acceleration on me for the quick splits, I've got you on handling in spades and the DF isn't has harshly set as yours. :cool:

*added bit* RJ, the 4th place curse LIVES AGAIN!! *look at Pyrelli's judging* :lol:

Yeah :lol:

I have, and while the Silvia can handle slighty better, the NSX-R still corners faster, even without the downforce. :sly:

And how is 20/19 harsh? Your Primera has 30/15 iirc! 💡

HELLO!! FWD!! You need 30 DF on the front for traction. :lol:

Silvia is only 10/15. :p

*added bit* Of course it will corner faster, it's reaching the corner 100km/h faster than the S14. :lol:

My Accord had no downforce and it doesnt spin like a mutha. :sly:

10/15 is still quite a fair bit.

True. :lol:
 
Well fine, remove the downforce on my NSX-R and test it, it'll still blow away your Slowvia on corners. :sly:

Revert to previous comment........you are 100km/h faster into the corner!! :lol: Take downforce off and you can make it 110km/h now!! :eek:

*To others: Yes I am overexaggerating Roj's NSX's performance, we need all the help we can get!! :lol:*

You sure your overexaggerating it? Sounds about right to me. ;)
 
I LOL'ed when I seen Pyrelli and I had the same tuners in the top 5, and the same tuners in the top 3. And somebody called me biased?? Then I also noticed when Kent said how we almost should rate our own cars first, we tune them to suit our driving styles and preferences normally after all.

Yes, Pyrelli is fast :eek: And he always provides such detail in any review he does, garage or Tuner Challenge related, well done Pyrelli 👍

Yeah maybe with your driving of my car Miss Daisy it would sound right!! :p Besides, it looks like you'll need the extra 100hp this time to actually get somewhere!! :trouble: Now back to the kennel with your slowass Accord, according to the judges that's 3 from 3 with my Primera taking the split times against you!! :lol:

P.S. I'm dying to see which one of our FWD cars Kent dislikes the most Roj. :sly:

Pyrelli

i always do that.., i try to achieve near 100 km/h on that left-hander before the start line.., but still, my times end up at 40.xxx..,
 
Thats what I expected to hear about my car. Im glad you enjoyed it Pyrelli. I care more about it being a great and memorable drive than it being the winner.
 
I'm currently just building the cars (this is bigger than I thought it would be), and I must ask: What is wrong with the transmission on the Primera? The settings given for it are impossible, and there is no Auto listed. Sorry if I don't know whose it is, but I'm trying to avoid remembering whose car is whose to avoid any sort of bias. Unfortunately, I can't forget which cars are tuned by MFT or RJ because their templates are so distinct, and I find them to be memorable tuners and posters. And, as luck has it, that's probably where a bias of mine would be directed. Either way, though, I'm doing my best to overcome it, and give totally impartial results.

BTW: There are a LOT of Hondas here, eh?
