Great can't wait. I had blast last year.

[CTScott]

Looking forward to it as well. My steering wheel has just been collecting dust lately.

[kou]

I'm ready. Have to fine tune a little.

[Blown_xa]

Sorry I haven't posted info yet. I will tell you however, the main regulation will be by performance points... Limit is 441 PP. I chose this number to make it more fair competition between models.

[cali yaris]

I'll try, but I'm really really bad at it.

[CTScott]

You can't be any worse than me. Last year I was a least a couple of laps behind the winner in every race.

[Blown_xa]

It is all for fun, the more people, the more fun. If you want to be really fast, spend some time setting up the car.

[cali yaris]

^ I will if I'm not constantly fixing something on my real car. I have another exhaust leak. I think I have to brace the turbo - did you? (oops, off topic) :frown:

I do not have it braced. So far I haven't had any issues with the current turbo setup. How close is your flex section in relation to the manifold?

[kou]

Any word on when this event is starting?

[Blown_xa]

I want to get your guys opinions on a night and time. I was thinking either Sunday or Monday nights, 8pm eastern time. I'll post series schedule by this Tuesday.

Practice race this Sunday, 8pm eastern time! Dial in tour car.

Add Blown_xA as a friend on playstation network.... Enter my personal lounge at 8pm eastern

[cali yaris]

I'll check. I'm using TRD motor mounts, too. geez.

[cali yaris]

PS3. hmm, I'll have to get one. I can't do Mondays anyway. :(

[Blown_xa]

Lacuna seca is the track for tonight's pre season race

[Blown_xa]

Schedule in first post

[kou]

Nice list,I have to do some heavy practicing.

[yaris2010RS]

OOOOOOOOO, count me in

[Blown_xa]

Time to aim for for Fuji speedway gt...... 1.45.517. LEGIT legal lap. I post this because it is nice to have something to aim for. :)

[yaris2010RS]

psht.....my b-spec driver does better in his sleep

[kou]

I hate gear ratios. Anyone want to share.:redface:

[Blown_xa]

I hate gear ratios. Anyone want to share.:redface:

Messing with the gears on that particular track I shaved off over half a sec. :)

[kou]

My gear set sucks you guys were pulling away from me pretty quickly the other day.

[Blown_xa]

My gear set sucks you guys were pulling away from me pretty quickly the other day.

Yea, the other day I didn't really mess with the gears, it had to do with the fact my Yaris was 240hp... Yes it was 441pp

[kou]

240hp that will make a difference, now I have to figure that out.

[Blown_xa]

That power was on the newer vitz 1.5....

[kou]

I remember.

[Blown_xa]

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday! Haven't gotten any new friend requests on PS3... common guys!

[Blown_xa]

I'm considering moving the races to Monday nights instead of Sunday nights, is anyone opposed? Thoughts? Im Considering this because we should have more people

[ilikerice]

you should convert to forza4.. hehehee.. kidding.. I wish I could play with you guys.. no ps3 for me..

[kou]

Monday is ok with me.

[Blown_xa]

Alrighty...... I will change dates for Monday's at 8pm eastern time.

[kou]

Just gives me more time to figure out my car lol.

[Blown_xa]

Just gives me more time to figure out my car lol.

True..... Hehe. I gave u a car at the end of last years races, it was setup exactly how mine was last year. It is a really good starting point.

[kou]

I have ten yaris there all mixed up and messed with so I'm starting from scratch.

[kou]

Awesome racing last night.:thumbup:. Wish everyone could have raced,would have made an excellent replay vid.

[CTScott]

That was good. What happened to Blown_xA last night, just before the race started?

I also have to figure out what the heck I am doing wrong with the setup of my car. I was 20 seconds behind at the end of the first lap and it just went down hill from there.

I'll help you out, send me your Yaris. I got booted from the Internet just before the race started.... Oh well. It will just make it more exciting as I have to catch up with points.

[kou]

Can't wait until next week. Still have to get a little faster.

[kou]

Ctscott are you using a controller or steeribgwheel.

[Blown_xa]

There is a break until the 13th.... I forgot to fill in the spot from this upcoming Sunday ( original date) because of the super bowl. Actually, let me add a race for this next Monday......... To fill in that spot

[yaris2010RS]

sorry guys, was in the middle of a move and internet didnt get hooked up as soon as i was hoping. ill start tuning my yaris and practing with it.

[CTScott]

Ctscott are you using a controller or steeribgwheel.

I have a steering wheel, but I have just been using the controller lately. I do about the same time on a track with either with my Yaris.

[Blown_xa]

Eiger Nordwand short track will be the venue for next Monday, the 6th.

[kou]

Ctscott it looked like you were over correcting when i passed you. if you use the wheel don't let it move side to side you have to hold it tight. Send your car to Blownxa he will give you a good starting point.

[Blown_xa]

Ctscott, your car is back in your possession. Ready to rock.

[CTScott]

Ctscott, your car is back in your possession. Ready to rock.

Woot! Thanks - Maybe next week I'll move up to second to last.

[yaris2010RS]

lol, dnw scott, this time u should have me to come in last

[Blown_xa]

1:06.120. Time to shoot for. Remember, if u haven't added me as a friend on PS Network, you must do so to enter my lounge and race Monday

[malibuguy]

I wish i had real internet at home to do this

[yaris2010RS]

how in hell did u get 1.06.120? my best time is 1.12.183

[Blown_xa]

About a year's worth of tweaking. If you understand suspension, alignment stuff.... Setting up a car becomes fun.

[yaris2010RS]

ooooo, nice, i spent about 2 hours playing with alignment/suspension stuff 2 nights ago and it got a bit better but definatly not mastered

[CTScott]

Good race tonight. Here are a couple of pics from the start of it:

45393

45392

[Blown_xa]

Cool pics. That coarse is very much a layout which rewards a well set up car, and driver. I spent a good amount of time dialing in my car for it. My friend gave me a good run for the $ for most of the race though.

[yaris2010RS]

MAN THAT FIRST CORNER KILLED ME! lol, and from then on it was all down hill..... lol.

i had a well set up car for the first few practice laps then i decided i wanted to add more rear toe in but i added too much and couldnt control it and then we started the race.

next week car will be properly tuned for track
