Forzacating with a Lame Duck

Heh, now that is a stout version of the Spiny Fix!  Do you go without any front ARB or just a lower grade ARB for the front?

I'm still running against the Hyundai MA, trying to get it to 25 - just finished up the Asian swing thru the D class WCHLC season - headed for Britain and the European trek after lunch.  Heh, such a world travelor I am...

Here's some of my results...

Car	F	Time
2011 Hyundai ix20		20:30.748

I still haven't gotten to the C class Starion...

Car	C	Time
2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo		18:31.657
2001 Acura Integra Type-R		18:34.619
2009 VW Scirocco GT		18:34.919
1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX		18:42.749
-
1988 Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R		00:00.000

I'll be finishing up the D class Tuscani Elisa today or tomorrow, then on to the the Hyundai Genesis in B - hopefully that will be enough - there's a piss pot load of Xp all tangled up in levels 19 thru 24.

At the moment i'm running no front ARB, like I said its a bit experimental at the moment, it's something I tried on a couple of cars in FM3 with good effect and wanted to try again, one thing though is it can induce a bit of lift off oversteer and some may find it a bit twitchy at higher speeds.

Still working against the Hyundai MA - currently at L21 - this stretch between 19 and 24 seems to take forever.

Here's how the Tuscani shakes out with my other D Class cars.

Car	D	Time
1988 Mitsubishi Starion ESI-R		19:07.225
2003 Hyundai Tuscani Elisa		19:08.220
2009 Alpha Romeo Brera Italia		19:21.711

The Tuscani Elisa is a pretty good car in D - I suspect it will be a real good car in C.  The grip is high (highest in D so far at 0.88.  I wasn't able to get the tunable suspension with this one, but here's the parts list:

The car runs pretty well neck and neck with the Starion - it takes the really grippy tracks.  The Starion has a higher PW ratio and a higher TS to go with it, so it kept its hold on the more high speed tracks.

I finally got the Hyundai Affinity to 25 using the Genesis built out to B class.  This car pretty much took over every time I had set on the B Class leaderboard.  I painted it a kind of Tangerine Pearl colour from the Special Colours menu and that was about as far as I could go.  The straight colour looked so good on the car that I couldn't imagine anything to go with it that wouldn't detract from the "look".  Here's the build and setup for it...

There are all sorts of options for finishing out the Hyundai Affinity from here.  Each of the 4 cars I've run can move up a class.  The Genesis can be run in C class as well.  Then there are the two Millen customs and the Forza R2 car.

But for now, I want to drive a different car for a while...
