Matador: Don't worry about the Gs. It is a representation of a turbo kit on the stock NA motor, offered with a factory warranty. Given the compression this thing runs, plus the numbers it puts out, I would say that we're only talking about 5-6psi (think Greddy twin-turbo kit basic setup on a 350Z, weak). Factory turbo numbers would be much different, torque would peak with more and earlier in the revs if it was a factory made, dedicated turbo motor. As would a full custom, built bottom-end, fully tuned turbo setup.

Same here! I currently have my FT with Stage 3 engine mod (about 370hp) and I can't go around a turn w/out the back skirting out! It's fun in the drift rooms but for time attack, forget about it. I'm going to detune mine...

which tires you have? I have bout same HP w soft racing tires and I don't have any problem in the corner... but of course I have full custom suspension set-up which took me over 4hrs to tune (now back to default, due to stupid 1.03 update).

I'll have to check but I think I'm running the Med Race tires. I lightened it alot, like 904kg or maybe under 900kg. I have the full suspension too, -5 height, offset spring rate, 7 compression with 5 rebound, -0.5 rear camber and -0.2 front camber, brake distribution 5 front and 6 rear. IIRC, you can't equip the torque controller. I think I'm even running an LSD too but not sure.

Do you remember your suspension settings by any chance?

Did you add the chasis reinforcment?

Each week is like a new mistress! Lately I've been messing with my pearl white GTR!! :bellyroll:

NP, yeah maybe all you might need is slicks. I'll use other FT86 tonight after work w Racing tires to see if my setup or HP/TQ will change.

and yeah added chassis reinforcement, I added everything on that car... but to be honest, I can't tell the difference between with and without

Ichi, your settings are pretty stout! :happy0180: Before I tried your settings, I bought the Med slicks and even that alone was a huge difference. I'm not sure if its your Anti Roll @ 7 or your toe @ 0.10 but the FT plants the turns very hard. On the Tsukuba circuit I was able to get down to a 1:01 during the 5 lap race.

Yeah this setup kinda require some guts, to turn hard you gotta keep the throttle. Sometimes you get out of corner hella fast, sometimes you miss the throttle time and go off course. lol Most of the time, I change anti roll & toes for more turn or less turns to match w that courses I race (of course tranny too)... but other than that, I keep that setup.

Currently, I'm tuning the FT86 for Soft Sports tires, but I'm not getting the setup I like, so I'm still can't write my setup yet. Hopefully, I'll have it by tonight.

I'm going to stay with the Racing tires since the grip is a lot better and keep the weight up. I actually reduced the toe a bit and that seemed to make the car slide into the turns a lot better. Your settings is definitely a good benchmark though! :happy0180:

Maybe some time later we all need to have FT86c races :happy0180:

That would be sweet! Online, I'm able to sneak into the "HONDA only" and 400hp or less with the FT. I'll usually get booted with the Murcie or R35. A few times, I could hear them talking to each other, "hey what kind of car is that?" "oh shit, thats the new Toyota..."

:bellyroll:

My Gsport though....that thing is on rails...:) I love driving that baby to death. I think it has the most miles on it than any other car. I got a trophy award last night for either racing a race 100 or more times or X amount of miles on a car (forget the number). But once one of your vehicles reaches a certain mileage you get a hidden trophy. I'll see if I can look in my trophy list to see the exact verbiage.

PS....my driving style probably also had a lot to do with me being on the gas in mid corner. "Slow-in-Fast-Out" that's the way I drive. That's the way I race in real life too.

Your FT86c though was right at home on Trial Mountain. I was pushing hard to drop that 2sec gap you had on me there. I was pushing hard on that last lap. On that left hander it's a thin line between planting it and ending up in the wall. Last lap, I tried to accelerate earlier to catch you and ended up putting myself into the wall...:bonk: Had the damage set to Heavy, so there was no coming back from that one...lol. I limped it home thus the 15+sec victory for you. Nonetheless though, damn was the FT86c Fast at Trial Mountain. That N/A power at nearly 400hp was sweat. I couldn't keep up with you on the tightness of TM. I would like to get your FT86c against my GSport on Deep Forest next time.

Here is a tid bit of advice for you on the Grid start. Rev bouncing is not the fastest way off the line. I throttle it up to about 5k rpms....as soon as the "1" disappears from the screen, I got WOT. By the time the car registers WOT and starts to accelerate, the word "Start" is on the screen and I'm off. I seem to get off the line a lot quicker this way, give it a shot. Modulate the throttle and then when you see the "1" actually fade off the screen gas it.

Good Racing bro....I Unlocked Nurburg through the AMG Special event, so get your practice on as that's one that's going to be a challenge.


PS.....I can't seem to get Golds on the Special Events as there are no "Ghost" replays of yourself, so can't tell where I can be faster. I've had to settle for Silver, but I'm but a few tenths short of Golding them. I will take a crack at it again once I have my steering wheel. Either that or more practice on the Burg.

Bring your A GAMES cause I don't play with "bandaids" and now that damage is in the game, it's Heavy Damage 24/7. You crash at the NurBurg, you might as well exit the race....LOL.

Perhaps we can start a roll call for guys playing. Put your Time Zone and what times you jump on. Is everyone free on the weekends? Like Mid-day on Saturdays?

What do you mean by can't keep your ft on the track? understeer? oversteer? what tires do you use? How's your suspension setup? We might able to help setup your suspensions to fix that problem.

Also it's not like, we're the fastest FT86c drive (well maybe Dragon w G's). I'm having hard time tuning G's FT86c, so you're not the only one w having problem keeping FT86c in the track and throttle control. We usually have fun race, so join! :)

Guess I'll power up the ol box tomorrow after work, should be 6-8pm EST, not sure what that is for u guys, its oversteer tho, I'm getting the hang of it (early braking)entering corners tho I normally have to brake early as to not end up having the rear slip out on me.

psn is Jay4prez I think
