Notes
Fully upgraded Calsonic. This one is configured to be quicker than my other two, Pennzoil & Loctite. Experimentation that seems to be paying off as this setup is quicker than the other two by a few seconds in Midfield. More gear tweaking to come as well as reduction of LSD (without loosing too much control).

Respect

Once again a very good setup!

She demands your respect but if you give her that she will do anything for you, including running 15 laps on one set of hard slicks

Fast is on the edge of control.

Game at 99.4% guess where I'm stuck at?

just wondering...

Post #3 - Updated 07/04/2004 11:58 AM

im doing the tokyo endurance race with this car and your setup. my only problem is that the car has a tendency to take longer to turn-in when its going more than say 100 mph (like when your going through the shallow S right before the last hairpin). i was wondering if there was a way to set it up differently to make it so that the turn in is better when going fast. yes i know i could just get off the gas/quickly brake but that loses like 10 mph and who wants to lose speed =) awesome car none-the-less

Hmm, normally I would say downforce for such behaviour, but that is already at max.
You can try a couple of things -

1) Increase spring rates front and back by 2.0

2) Increase stabilizers front and back by 1 each.

3) Or both.

4) But come to think of it try this first, Change front toe -1.0 and rear 0.5.

I just hope you test it out after your changes and don't compromise performance else where on the track for one small section.

Hi 0-400mtoptuner16,

by your name I guess you like drag.
Yes, setting up a car for drag will be a lot different.

Oh I see, What is the Calsonic like as a road car.

We'll nothing outstanding about it, I think it's neither good for handling nor is it the best at speed.

Used this with Stage 2 turbo and a shorter transmission setting to lap the field during the Tokyo endurance, average lap 1'37:xxx, best lap 1'34:059, many thanks to Fumes for another excellent configuration!
