Allright thanks for the confirmation:tup:
And I apologise profusely for my absence of tuning parts in the description of my tune, I hope you are able to assemble my two posts in this thread to achieve my exact tune

Sorry, but I've flagged this same issue on the recent Lambo seasonal, and changing my rims made absolutely no difference to the available gear ratios, nor the addition of any other tuning parts! There must be some other explanation why some people show different ratios.

Changing wheels does change the gear ratios, that is a well known fact. I'm not talking about tires, I'm talking about wheels, just so we are clear. Sorry, but you are all wrong here.
Everything I've stated in the below link affects gear ratios. I have tested it and know it to be fact.

Just tested the "new wheels changing gear ratios" that some seem to doubt. Here are the results for the doubters or those that say its not true.
Car tested: Scion FR-S '12. Bought trans, just hit reset. Buy new wheels and hit reset again. These are the beginning and ending gear ratios for each gear.
Stock wheels New wheels
2.927 3.950 2.993 4.026
2.120 2.743 2.160 2.795
1.617 2.003 1.648 2.041
1.290 1.541 1.315 1.471
1.077 1.241 1.097 1.264
0.796 1.044 0.810 1.064
FG and top speed remain the same. Hope this proves what I've been saying and further explains the problem of trying to duplicate others tunes.

Can anyone explain why on time trial #45 Monza PP550 challenge I cannot record a lap time? I have completed several laps each time doing a time faster than I need to get Gold but it doesn't seem to register the time.
I'm sure there is a simple enough explanation but clearly I am not smart enough to work it out myself
Any advice would be gratefully received!!

Stupid question but are you sure you are online. There's been a few times that I have got disconected while doing these events and my time didn't register.
@ Dave: For that corner, I let off the gas slightly to get the car to rotate then back on it. I don't believe that corner can be taken flat out.

If you cut the track and the lap is displayed in red, it ont let you save the lap, it will not count, if thats what happened...

does it also change the handling? or just the gears...(change wheels)

As far as I can tell, no, new wheels does not effect the handling.

Yea, it can be frustrating at times. When you find your frustration level is starting to affect your driving, take a break for a bit and come back to it later.
EDIT: Regarding new wheels affecting gear ratios. It has been brought to my attention that buying new wheels does not change the gear ratios in all cars. In all cars I've tested, it has but apparently there are some that it doesn't so I stand half corrected, lol. Sorry for the confusion. Will do further testing on more cars.

I'm not convinced that is what happened. I've tried several cars and as far as I remember all my laps were clean but I'll try again.
Thanks for the suggestion though
I am 99.9% sure I was not disconnected during this time trial event but I will have another go and make sure.
Thanks for the advice

yup i did take some breaks here and there now i got a time of 1.43.862
As for tranny changes due to wheels i fiddled with the LFA and yes the change of wheels afftected the ratio

Yea, all the cars I've changed wheels on, the gear ratios were also affected but apparently there are some not affected. Still have to test those. I locked my other thread because I was told that I didn't know what I was talking about. I really didn't feel like getting into a pissing match so I just closed it. Everything I wrote in that thread is true as I tested them myself. If there are certain cars that are unaffected by wheel changes, then I stand corrected as I don't have the time or inclination to test every single car in this game.

If that's the case, why claiming "the guy above" in your other thread is only starting crap?
Seems he was right too, that what he tested didn't change the things you claimed would change. (who is wrong there?)
Quote: "I have proof for everything I've listed so I know it to be fact."
But your not gonna show your facts, instead you closed the thread.

After trying almost every other possible car (both Murcielagos, the Aventador, Enzo, Italia, F430 Scuderia) I ended up trying with the Gallardo as everybody else did. I came up easily with a mid 1.56 using a conventional setup, in regarding Ride Height, say -20 front -16 back.
After watching a top10 replay I noticed that the guy was running with an unusually high front, so I changed my setup accordingly modifying nothing else than ride height and got on my first try a 1sec shave of my previous lap.
How is that possible? This setup defies the laws of physics, the car should understeer like crazy. Am I missing something?

I had a quick run before work with the update on laguna. With the same set up Im finding more oversteer on entry now, I've got the ride height lower at the front -17, -10. I think i could run a quicker lap now, but I stupidly changed the oil so now Im down on hp
Im 55th at the moment on a 1'41.714 could maybe get another 1-2 tenths I reckon with the better handling.
