forza 2 / car set up

[burgo]

i need some help with getting my car set up. im about 2 seconds off the pace compared to people with the same car as me, i think what is hurting me most is the amount of downforce im having to use to get some grip. so has anyone got any surgestions as to what i can try to improve my integra

thank you please:thumb:

yer try put the tow in also the camber , best tyres full diff,

[burgo]

put the toe and camber in?? how much and what does full diff mean ??

[Stoo]

2 way diff he means
and camber id go for slightly more negative
toe out a little on the rear too

oh, and thats just form experience with the geomotry set up on a real one hahah

[burgo]

well ive got the two way diff yes but what do i do with it once its in is what im getting at?

as for the "bit" of toe and camber, how much we talking?

[Stoo]

ill find out the exact geo settings i had on my cars!
diff you want stronger accelerating than decellarating, but quite strong both ways

[Stoo]

Front:
Total Toe: +0.0mm +/-1.9mm
Half Toe : +0.0mm, +/-0.9mm
Caster : +1.17deg, +/- 1.0deg
Neg camber : 1.-1.5 deg
Track:0.0mm

Rear:
Total toe : +1.9mm, -0.9mm,+1.9mm
Half toe : +0.9mm, -.5mm, +09mm
Neg camber :.75-1 deg
Track: +.9mm per side

[Stoo]

infact scrap those
these are the better ones
Front:

2.9 deg negative camber
1mm toe out

Rear:

1.9 deg negative camber
1mm toe in

buy grid?

[burgo]

buy grid?looser, you fail .

thanks for the help stoo but they dont seem to work :confused: made it proper skitish (sp). plus i think ive broke it as i cant get anywhere near my previous times let alone anyone else's :cry:

[Stoo]

they are a bit skittish on the road with those settings too. But its an immense improvement over oem settings.

Is it a dc2 or dc5? The figs i gave are for dc5s but i'll dig out the dc2 figs i've got too if you like

[burgo]

its a 2002 honda mugan teg type r

ive currently got it set

camber
-0.6 = front
-1.1 = rear

toe
+1 = front
-1.5 = rear

and 5 degrees caster

[burgo]

right all my latest setting

tyre pressures
front = 27
rear = 29

camber

front = -.9
rear = -1.0

toe
front = 0.1
rear = 0.1

caster = 5.5

anti roll bars
front = 19.45
rear = 13.53

springs
front= 312.1lb/in
rear = 278.2lb/in

rebound
front = 8.8
rear = 6.3

bump
ftont = 5.9
rear = 5.7

and my diff is 40%

Are you using the online calculator burgo.. its a good place to start.

[wisewood]

Set everything to maximum.

[Dod]

Failing that, go Minimum.

[wisewood]

or max, min, max, min, max, min etc.

[Dod]

Min on one side and Max on the other. See which way turns best and go from there.

[draper]

go outside and do it for real ?

[wisewood]

High suspension at the front, low at the rear. Hard on front, soft on back.

[Dod]

No Rear Springs, SRI-BOI styleeee

[draper]

is there the option for scaff bars instead of rear springs, that will help

[Dod]

TV Green Nova Style.

[Martin]

ask some1 kindly to send you there settings? lol or tell find out who has a few of them(most the yanks have 4/5) tell them u will gift them youres if they give you 1 already set up, thats what i did

[Stuart]

You want approx 10mm difference front to rear on the ride height.
drop the tyre pressures down a couple of psi each end
put the accel on the diff to 75-80% and decel to 40ish
set the aero in the middle
maybe increase the number on the FD a bit to give you more pull out of the bends

I tend to leave the geo "std" as it seems that little changes cock it up a lot.

[burgo]

ive got the tyre pressures 29 rear and 27 front. this gave me a pressure of 32psi once the tyres were upto temperature and yes matt im using a calculator

[Dod]

Just play as dirty as you do on GTA4. THat'll get you far, ya bollox.

[Stuart]

bring the fronts down to 25psi, leave the rears where they are.

you need to understand taht as good as forza is, its physics still dont match real world properly. I put in my current VX220 setup on there and the thing was mentally erratic!!!! when in reality is perfectly suited to my driving style (and that was with slicks in forza compared to my "wets" in real life lol)

[Martin]

i mite actuly go REbuy this, i did sellit coz i got bored of it lol

[burgo]

its very boring until you get it online then its just funking annoying
