I got the Toyota minolta 88C-V last night, and added a turbo, 1080hp i think, its fast and pretty good but my god its twitchy, Mind you im playing with a controller and traction control and ASM on so when its oversteering its catching the car and putting fairly bad understeer into it which shoots it straight off if your not careful. Has anyone found a way to fix this?

dont be useless. lose the extra turbo.. lose the TCS.. lose the ASM.. even with the controller its not hard to feather the throttle where you need to. dont forget those le mans cars are engineered to only turn properly at high speeds or under throttle, so if you slow down to much and have no throttle on going through a corner you will be absolutely murdering your potential lap time. even on extremely low speed corners you need to be at least partially on the gas through the corner to maintain proper grip and neutral steering

the same applies for virtually all le mans & F1 cars

But more power is always fun :P

Think it's just the asm catching the oversteer and making it unpredictable. Will have a go with it off next time. Need somewhere to clamp my wheel and pedals so I can race properly

Anyone else on here got an X1?

If so, what's your best Tsukuba lap? My best so far is 29.6

I got one last night that thing is stupid fast and hard to control with a pad, i did probly 10 laps with it and my best was a very very sloppy 32 something, I need lots of practice just to keep it on the track it is just so fast.

accelerating very slowly- the bumps knock it around quite badly, and it's very twitchy with the d.f set to minimum. also realized the toe-angles were set to - and +1 front and rear standard, which may have scrubbed some speed. car makes less power now so there's no point trying again

it's geared to do 507 (which you can't change), you should be able to get 490 or more if you cruise up behind a Le Mans car 3/4 of the way down the straight and get an aero tow

I think I only managed 420 or so in the veyron, but that was just a practice run to see if it would hit 400 with no other cars on the track. got my 111 feet per second or whatever it is lol so i was happy. Been hitting B-spec lately. My hot headed driver is getting quite good at level 12. Nowhere near as much frustration

farkk it.. old ps3 packed up good and proper last week. just went and bought a new slimline. how lucky was i to backup my gt5 data about 2mins before it broke.. although all my other game saves are down the tube.. ffs sony needs to sort their shit out and come up with a way to transfer saves off the old hdd

erm, doesn't the "backup" utility do this?

I upgraded to a 500GB HDD and all my save games went across no worries. Just needed to re-sync the trophies.

i didnt upgrade, my console died. making it impossible to get access to my saves.

one time i tried the backup utility it tried to backup everything on the drive, movies, music, the lot. didnt have a flash drive big enough for it. i only need a backup of saves but it doesnt let you do that

I know, but you could still remove the HDD from the stuffed PS3, put it in the new PS3, perform the backup to an external HDD then put the original HDD back in the new PS3 and "restore"

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
