I think you mean NA stage 3 because turbo is not an option for this car. I'm trying these settings out right now

I always loved this car, even on stock settings. It's so light and nimble, a great example of an NA sports car. Your setup makes it golden. Thumbs Up

Absolute SUICIDE on the Nurburg Ring, but not a bad setup Smile

I used this setup on both the Opera and just the plain '04 version, and WOW. This thing handles wonderfully on both of them. Thumbs Up

I actually made a better time with the plain '04 Confused

Tested @ 400 Hp with S3 tires & St 3 Kg

I love the bonnet view on this car better than others too. It's more of a hood view than a roof view. It puts you more "in the drivers seat". Until they come up with a cockpit view, I guess this will have to do.

Ran 6'51:309 at the ring on my second lap with this car/setup with a very bad lap(spinout, leaving the track several times Frown

lol). Handles beautifully, but it's a little stiff for the ring. I'll try it on other more smooth courses later, but I'm determined to run faster than 6'30 on the ring. If I adjust/tweak the setup, I'll post changes if they help.

I didn't have thr 'Ring in mind when tuning this car.
I can see you point that it would be too stiff for the ring.
The Ring is just a different beast of a track to most other tracks. So a completely separate setup is required most times when driving at the 'Ring.

Nurburgring setup?

Post #7 - Posted 05/03/2006 1:13 PM

Hey Fumes hows it going,I just got your setup for s2k a few days ago. I'll have to say thats an excellent setup!!!I like alot of your setups and I was wondering if you ever got around to getting a setup for the Ring?I love to tune myself(almost more than racing) but I still dont know the Ring that well yet and instead of driving myself insane I'd get it from you if you had one. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Thanks

Hi, another great setup, just would like to know why no LSD or a brake setup.
All in all this setup is great (I must have won this car about a dozen times but always sold it, but your setup made me keep it for the first time).
Thanks
Marty Thumbs Up

The car is too light to require a brake controller. The default brake control is suffiecient.

As for LSD, or lack thereof. LSD takes the control away from the driver. When wheels slip due to lack of traction, it reduces power to the slipping wheel. Without LSD, the driver gets to control that. Punch away at the accelerator and you get a controllable drift. Reduce accelerator and you get grip.

So if you want a race car, get rid of LSD. If you want a Sunday drive to the shops, add LSD.
