Post your Personal Best Thread

Finally learned how to set up an FF. I don't know if it's fast but it feels really good, miles better than my old tunes, so expect some FF personal bests from me in the coming week starting with the DC2 Integra R.

The DC2 does feel great in the corners I must admit, see if you can get into the mid 30's with the good ol FF cars

the dc2 is an excellent car. i ran it on the touge on the old account before i started circuit racing and now i use it on the circuit too. the acura and the honda are really grippy, really agile cars. be careful tho kraze because they love to 3 wheel quite a bit which slows u down on the touge.

oh and for reference i got the honda itr down to 4:38s. im sure u guys can get it way lower

I managed a 36 in the DC2 ages ago so probably can get it down further

You guys are still my idols, keep it up. ill get back to the 360 once i get a chance.

Well as I havnt got xbox live I've been kona lapping and managed an epic 4:32:4 in the abarth

C class 86 2:40 B-reverse

32.4 ?? Just get it clean so you can be #3 on the LB already!

Lol Kraze, and Bukkaz wont be happy till he breaks the game with his insane non aero Fujimi times.

Lol I keep trying but keep clipping guardrails, sooo annoying, it was a lucky run aswell, car still doesn't feel right, still trying to find a way to sort the issue of it over steering at high rpm, annoys me so much

What is your Accel and Decel set too?

Last time I drove that car it revved to 8k but max power was at 6k which is LOW so you can try shortening the gears a bit more and upshift earlier so you never pass over 7k rpm.

My accel is 8 and decel is at 19, I got a race cams in it so it revs high

Then maybe take off the cams? With stock cams you'll make less power at the redline but it'll be more controllable because there's less power.  And upshifting earlier will let you use the rest of that power on the straights where it counts so it's worth trying.

I will give it a try and see how it feels, but taking the cams out will lower the p.i so will have to put other parts in to get it back up to B500

I took the cams out and put more engine parts in to make up the p.i and I shortened my gears, feels a little better but still steps out suddenly, I think it's 50% the tune and 50% my driving style, need to change my style to suit the car I spose, there are conversions for it such as a turbo, centrafugal supercharger and a 1.4 turbo engine, would any of them conversions work do you think?

The supercharger wouldn't do anything, a turbo could either make it better or worse depending on the boost level and the rpm it kicks in at, but the last one could make it VERY different if we're talking about a whole new engine.  But if none of them work then it's right down to the nature of the chassis and there really isn't anything that can be done besides to cope with it with a different driving style and suspension tuning like you said.  I'm still shocked you can get that thing to 32s when I drove it it felt like a front heavy AE86 with even more power than it can handle.

I'm still shocked I got it to 32's too never thought it was that capable, if I didn't have to fight the back end all the time it could possibly be a 31 car, yeah I think it has too much power and it can't handle it, it only has 225's front and rear, I will try the new engine soon and see what I can do, it just frustrates me because I know I can go faster in it but the car won't let me do a next to perfect run

I learned that I was losing up to 20hp on the upshifts with my RX8 since the max 250hp is only made at 8700 rpm and below 8k I only get 230hp.  So in order to stay between 8k - 9.5k rpm I revised my gearing from 3rd-6th gear by shortening them.  Then I adjusted my brake balance towards the rear to eliminate understeer.
Results? VERY GOOD:

Ehhhhhhh? How?

Pro driving skills

4:33:323 71 GT-R

Was messing around with a lotus elise, no aero of course.
after like 15 runs or so, got a 4.30.356. Intentionally dirtied it so I don't put in on the LB.

I always use Konas ghost as a marker, very few of the runs I was able to match or even be ahead of Konas ghost. Without aero it isn't as cheap as I thought.
