Honda Prelude Si VTEC BB4 Time Attack - Hakone Downhill

Set a new personal best.

JUN Inspired Prelude Update

 This is one of my favorite FF car setups, and I definitely love how this car handles.  Sometime I will get back to working on this car but for now it is resting up.

Test Drive: Impreza STi Time Attack Tune

I took beast345's WRX STi setup for a run down Kirigamine. Like most AWD, the car had some understeer issues which I reduced, but didn't eliminate. Check it out here.

Test Drive: Silvia S15 Time Attack Tune

Did a quick review of beast345's S15 down Kirigamine. Setup looked pretty good, just made a subtle change recommendation. Check it out here.

Test Drive: Speedster Time Attack Tune

Did a quick review of beast345's Speedster down Kirigamine. What was really nice is that I didn't really need to change anything, but I did recommend two small tweaks. Check it out here.

Road 'N' Rally Racer - Mitsubishi Evo VIII

This is the setup I used to finish off the opponents on Hokkaido, Hakone, and Aso early this morning. It isn't a great tune by any means, but it got the job ton with little hassle. Of course for the road courses (Hakone & Aso) I didn't use Spiked Tires - I used Sports Tires (of the same level).

Test Drive: Trueno AE92 Time Attack Tune

Blew some dust an old tune - Lowen-Kreuz's Trueno AE92 grip setup. I killed about 40 minutes in this setup, but it was worth it. Check it out here.

Test Drive: NSX Time Attack Tune

I broke up the monotony tonight by testing out beast345's NA2 NSX on Kirigamine downhill. Within a few runs and about 10 minutes I made a few small changes that made a big difference. Check it out here.

Course Crawlin' Spyder - Toyota MR-S Part 3

This morning's runs were too much to handle - couldn't get the drive off my mind all day at work. So when I got home I decided I had to take this car to a course that I absolutely hate - Shiga Kusatsu - and see how well I can do. After racing down the course for about 30-40 minutes I got a fast run with no wall hits.

Here is my standings on the ranking board. My run secured the 27th spot - and the fastest MR2/MR-S for the course.

Course Crawlin' Spyder - Toyota MR-S Part 2

So this morning I decided to get up a little earlier before work and do some racing with the MR-S. As one of my favorite short courses, Kirigamine offers some great corners and grade changes - so that is where I took it. After about 8 runs downhill, I got a time I was satisfied with.

Here is my standings on the ranking board. Currently I'm holding the 35th spot which isn't bad.

Course Crawlin' Spyder - Toyota MR-S Part 1

Tonight I wanted to try my hand at tuning a small mid-engined car for time attack racing. Generally speaking, time attack tuning a rear-wheel drive car is tough for me - most of my configurations are better for sliding, not gripping. I've only taken the car for a test drive down Akagi so I don't know how it will do on the leader boards. The plan is to rank the car tomorrow night when I have time, but for now I'll at least release the tune I have put together.

Test Drive: Skyline 25GT Time Attack Tune

Tonight I tested out beast345's Skyline settings to see how well they were setup. Took me a little while to get the car the way I would want it to handle, but I think the changes are good. Check it out here.
