Forza 3 game night - part 2

[m0r1san]

Fun race! One of the most fun cars was born in my garage as a result. Now it's time to cut the mullet for next week

 

[Kabob]

Had a car @ 600hp/Class A and the lobby said that I didn't meet the requirements.

No other cars in my garage met the requirements (that were Camaros/Mustangs), so I dropped out.

What gives?

Not sure what the issue was with your car. Mayhaps the game was ringing you up as 600.05 hp or something. Do you have a mic? It makes racing much more fun and we can tell you where we're going and such.

Good to have a full crew tonight, fun racing!!

I'm going to buy a mic soon. I'll definitely try to get one for next week.

 

[ivan2]

im sure u all will have a better car for this coming week.

for my week, the car is A600 RWD Fiat 500.



just kidding. i will send out the tune of a awd cayman soon

 

[Kabob]

Bah, you scared me for a second there!!!! Should have realized you were playing off my Fiesta joke...whew!

 

[vshah]

don't knock it till you've tried it! I've got an A600 fiat that is a beast on small tracks.

 

[Kabob]

I'd have liked to see you run that Fiat on Fujimi...methinks you'd have found it less than forgiving

Definitely get a mic, makes it so much better.

And BTW, no offense to rejecting your friend request but I've got 99 people on my list as it is and I need that last spot.

No problem. I only sent you a request so that you could have more easily invited back into the game when I was having those difficulties. Didn't know you were running the thing at the time.

 

[ivan2]

won't let me send out tune, so I am going to leave the build here and let you guys figure out the tune, recommendation I will give is that i prefer the suspension on the firm side for this car, and don't be afraid to go firm in rear and soft in front. it will flip in maple. A little bit more on this car is that in the RWD version it will snap steer very badly in the L turns at Silverstone, the AWD not so much, but will still catch you off guard sometimes. Dont tune to compensate the snap steer, keep the thottle up through turns to eliminate it.

Welcome more tuning tips Famous

Also, a little something to get everyone through their Friday

Mmmm....there are a number of points in the clip where the car comes around a corner and is bouncing off the rev limiter trying to get traction. Then the driver grabs second RIGHT as it gets to the camera and you get up close with the awesome growl of the motor torquing through second gear. VERY NICE

Have to remember to check it out when I get home tonight.

You need to add a after the "MIA" list in the OP.

 

[ivan2]

i will post my suspension settings for comparisons:

ARB: 18.4 28.5
Spring: 742.2 981.0
Ride Height: lowest
Rebound: 7.2 10.2
Bump: 2.0 4.5
Aero: middle for both

Another thing is that if your car is still feeling understeer after u adjust your alignments, add some rear decel. my rear decel is at 35% (my read decel is 50% now after a few practice on a short track) but if needed you can add more.

Also, for those who had my old tune, you might want to lessen the toe out (to neutral) and add some decel diff locking to the rear. it was very twitchy

Probably not going to try it, but those spring rates seem like a recipe for disaster on Maple Valley!

I tried famous' setup on Camino Viejo(SP?) last night. It's pretty decent. It gets a bit twitchy in elevation changes and pushes a bit much for my taste. Gotta do some tweaking at some point

 

[ivan2]

rest of the tune...

tire pressure 30 30
alignment -0.7 -0.7 0 0 5.0
braking 48% or your preference
diff 15% 0% 60% 50% 70%

gearing 3.95 3.1 2.1 1.55 1.21 .98 .85

 

[fbrdphreak]

I may not be able to join, or only for the first 30-45 minutes at most. Hope to see you guys out there!

 

[vshah]

Just made the car..it's pretty sweet!

 

[vshah]

great racing tonight!

 

[m0r1san]

great racing tonight!

Agreed. I found having a spec car kept it really competitive. Tons of fun!!

 

[Hopeless]

Next week will be a complete spec.

1969 Toyota 2000GT

I'll post the tune / build to my storefront with ATCG in the title.

 

[fbrdphreak]

Nice...those puppies are expensive eh?

 

[Kabob]

$200K I believe.

 

[Hopeless]

Nice...those puppies are expensive eh?

If I remember right, the car is around $100k to $120k + parts for B class.

It is kinda high, probably should have posted it sooner to give everyone a better heads up. At least with it being a spec build you don't have to play around with part combos which can tear through $ pretty quickly as well.

 

[fbrdphreak]

I'll have to start saving my pennies, haha
