Title: Car Setups
Post by: Boiker on June 20, 2007, 06:34:00 AM

I just realised the importance of a good setup on this game. It's unbelievable, the difference you can get from setting up your car properly is insane. I shaved 6 seconds of my lap time round Laguna Seca with this setup  



So this is the setup I'm currently using for my Nissan 350 Fairlady. Its power is 478kW weighing 1151kg and is RWD, so no drivetrain change.

Tire Pressure
            Front = 2.07 bar
            Rear = 2.07 bar

Gearing
           Final drive = 4.11

Alignment
            Camber
                   Front = -0.5
                   Rear = -0.5
            Toe
                   Front = 0.0
                   Rear = 0.0
            Front caster = 5.0

Anti-Roll bars
                   Front = 6.57
                   Rear = 4.30

 Springs
           Stiffness
                   Front = 111.88 kgf/mm
                   Rear = 74.66 kgf/mm
           Ride Height (this varies hugely between cars, so adjust accordingly with everything else)
                   Front = 8.9 cm
                   Rear = 8.9 cm

 Damping
           Rebound Stiffness
                   Front = 13.0
                   Rear = 8.7
           Bump Stiffness
                   Front = 6.5
                   Rear = 4.3
 Aero
           Front = Default
           Rear = Default

 Braking
           Balance = 50% front
           Pressure = 100%

Differential (rear)
           Acceleration = 80%
           Deceleration = 63%

Im wondering if someone could give a good setup for a Vis Integra Type-R Fully customized with a RWD drivetrain. The setup would be for circuit racing.

Give my setup a try. I've done it on two high powered RWD cars now and it works well on both. It might just need a small amount of tweaking as it is a lighter car so a little softer springs maybe and softer damping.

Yeah just lower the numbers slowly at first and testing the car out each time. I only say that because it is a lighter car, but not a lot lighter.

I'd recommend taking the time and learning to tune, even if just the basics, instead of slapping other people's numbers in. Tuning doesn't always make the car better as much as it makes the car handle more to the liking of the driver. Different people have different driving styles and skill levels and you're not necessarily getting the most out of your car using someone else's setup.
