TDG - Test Drive Garage

Welcome to TDG, Tesuto Doraibu Garēji. Also known as Test Drive Garage.
This is where you can test drive awesome cars submitted by the community.
The point of TDG is to gain knowledge and help on tunes. It doesn't matter if it's drift or race, drag or touge.
With everything comes rules, as with TDG. Here's the list:

You are not allowed to change the tune (unless the person providing the tunes allows it).
If you test a car you will have to write a small review about it, the point being to make the car better.
You are not allowed to save the tune (unless allowed by the person providing the tune).
This is for BNB cars only.

Cars up for testing:

Garage K's Time-Attack A Spec Porsche GT3
Chia's NSX-R

I am entering my 400HP Drift Spec NA Supra for the coming weeks.
I'd love to get some critique on the tune as I'm a beginning Drift tuner and an experienced Race tuner.

Send me a message if you want to try her out!

Like this idea!

I'd like to summit my B Class Touge/track 240

and my Drift Spec S15


also i'd like to take a look at your Supra

and maybe you can try my S15, seeing how its in a similar power range

For how long would you like to put them up?
And I'd rather have one car per person for now, I'd be glad to test either of them out!

well if i can summit one

the 240 and how about for a month or so

depends on if this catches on

and the s15 was really just so u cud see a good battle tune

Alright, I'll test the 240SX if you send it over.
I've sent you the Supra tune :]

alright i'll send it over

do i post the review of your supra tune here or PM you?

Post it in here if you want :]
Please add whatever you think that could be improved and maybe even a how.
I'll go test the 240SX whenever I get it :]

Over all thoughts
The car's tune appears to be almost left alone after the parts were installed, except for some modifications to the Camber, Toe, and Caster. the car transfers well, i didn't expect it to so because of the way its set up, i thought it wud be twitchier. i do believe that the long wheel base helps in keeping it smooth and easy to handle while transferring. for the amount of power it has it handles high speeds drifts very well, and can with stand low speed drifts aswell.

The car is great and is fun to drift, very cud for a entry level into either a points lobby or Tandem lobby.

Improving!!
This is just personal preference but i like a softer rear suspension, to allow the car to squat, putting more traction down. allowing the car to squat rather than keeping hard springs will help increase speeds, and with your current caster setting i dont feel that softening the rear spring rates will impair the transfer ability your car has. also the bump and rebound stiffness cud be a little softer for less smooth drift sections like Nurburgring GP and similar courses.

your gearing to me seems very short, because you have a race box in it, i recommend using a final drive higher towards the Acceleration (at least over 4.00), and then going and adjust the individual gears (I'd start with third adjust it to dead center and then playing with the other gear till they fit for both tight and long corners). but gearing is personal preference and i recommend using what works for you.

so to summarize soften rear spring rates, and all bump and rebound stiffness, to personal preference, and try using different final gear rates along with individual gear rates to improve both low end and high end performance.

i feel like a d--k making this long of review

This is cool!!! Id be happy to share some tunes with ya!!! i dont even know which ones to share!!!! Anybody want to try some drag tunes? I have or can build any car in game to drag competitively!!! Any cars you want to try out? Lemme know!!

Kru it only for BNB

Gotcha!!! ill share my 86 tune as soon as i add the parts!! i need to know if she's sea worthy!!!

@Chia:
Thanks for the review! I played around with the settings a bit but I feel that I get too much grip if I soften the rear up.
I'll play around with it some more :]

I'll test your 240SX this weekend.

Seeing not many people want critique or comments on their build I'll allow more cars to be entered at the same time.
Feel free to enter your S15 whenever you want, I'll be glad to test it for you and write a review.

I'll add my E36 tune if anyone wants to try it out?

Bare in mind it has 340hp, so clutch kicking is required. It will go without clutch, but wont pull third as good though.

enter faster, dont p*ssy out and let off lol

That works too haha, you have to go balls out with or without clutch lol

@ TRK hey did u ever look at the s15 tune

@Texas:
I only received a 240SX racing tune which I reviewed.
Not sure if I received an S15 as well.. If you wanted me to review that just send it again and I'll do so.
Sorry if I ignored this thread before, I didn't see that there were new replies.

Seeing as I didn't reviewed the car in this particular thread, I'll write up a short one.

TRK's review of TexasChia's B-Class 240SX (Race)

Pro:

The car handles well and is a lot of fun to drive. Easy and predictable.
The tire pressures are set-up just about right.
I can't really say a lot about the setting you used for the suspension and ARB's because they look really illogical to me but the car handles alright.

Con:

Suspension set-up and ARB's.
Whilst the car handles very decent the suspension and ARB's are working against each other.
The balance between front and rear is a lot and you need to compensate that with the ARB's.
The dampening, especially the rear is set-up very strange to me.
Your bump and rebound is both at 3.4 which makes no sense to me as you want the car to squat at turn exit.
I usually set my bump at around 50-60% of my rebound, that seems to work.

I can send you my touge tuned 510 (tuned by civicEJ) or my track r32 skyline that's very tail happy but has almost no turn in under steer ?

Sure, I'd be glad to test them for you!
Please send one of the cars at a time since I have a full garage.. ;]

Okay I wud like to remove my 240

and replace it with the NSX for about a week


Also Tim if u dont mind i'd like it if u reviewed the setup and see if can find any reason for the unstable feeling i get at speeds excess of 100mph through and into turns

Sure!
Send the tune over to me.
