Honest deals on wheels. We sell it, we back it.

All cars are on the Sharefront and open source Here

C500 2007 Honda Civic - On Sharefront as ‘Civic C500’.
Comment: Nice, quick little FWD. Corners and handles well. Made the minor placings in GSW Comp on Road Atlanta Short. Uses stock gear box so you need to run out the gears to keep it on song.

C500 1984 Honda Civic CRX Mugen - On Sharefront as ‘CRX C500’.
Comment: Excellent on all handling tracks. Runs stock gear box. Capable of leader boarding on Yas and Road America short tracks amongst others.

C500 Lancia 037 - On Sharefront as ‘037 C500’.
Comment: Base grip build. Works well on Alps and handling tracks. Requires finesse to get the most out of it, but if you get it right, a very fast car that’s just to the left of centre and a buzz to drive.

C500 2011 Citroen DS3 - On Sharefront as ‘DS3 C500’.
Comment: Intermediate and handling tracks. Rorty, chuckable FWD. Bullet proof handling and an absolute hoot to throw around a track.

C500 2001 Acura Integra Type-R - On Sharefront as ‘Integra C500’.
Comment: Again for intermediate and handling tracks. This thing is just quick and can be pushed surprisingly hard.

C500 1994 Mazda MX-5 - On Sharefront as ‘MX-5 C500’.
Comment: Handling tracks, although it also has a turn of speed. Predictable and snappy, you can drive these things pretty much anywhere and get away with it.

C500 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA Stradale - On Sharefront as ‘GTA C500’.
Comment: Handling tracks. Great fun to drive, with good acceleration and balanced and responsive handling. Sticks harder than you think.

C500 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO - On Sharefront as ‘GTO C500’.
Comment: Speed tracks. Actually pretty quick. Worth it just for the sound track from that glorious engine. Why drive Detroit iron around Road America when you can climb into this?

C500 1991 BMW E30 M3 - On Sharefront as ‘M3 C500’.
Comment: Intermediate tracks. C Class version by request. Still one of the best handling cars in the game.

C500 1984 Alfa Romeo Spider Quadrifoglio Verde - On Sharefront as ‘C500 Spider’.
Comment: Intermediate circuits. Balanced and very planted. Doesn’t quite have the legs for speed circuits, but can be driven hard around handling and intermediate tracks. Stock box drops off VVT on shifts and has quite long 3rd and 4th gears so it pays to keep up the momentum.

B600 1991 BMW E30 M3 - On Sharefront as ‘M3 B600’.
Comment: Great all rounder or Lobby car. Neutral handling and a lot of fun to drive. Has some zip as well and can hold its own on longer tracks.

B600 1973 BMW 2002 Turbo - On Sharefront as ‘2002 B600’.
Comment: Runs well at Spa, Silverstone, Road America, Road Atlanta and Sebring. Good balance of handling and speed and a lot of fun to drive on the limit.

B600 1997 BMW M3 - On Sharefront as ‘97 M3 B600’.
Comment: Intermediate tracks. Quick, cruisy and silky smooth when driven on the throttle. Just a lovely car all around. Can drop in stock transmission and sport exhaust for speed tracks.

B600 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA Stradale - On Sharefront as ‘GTA B600’.
Comment: Sprint, handling and intermediate tracks. A little beast. Great handling, sharp acceleration and good corner speed.

B600 2011 Volkswagen Scirocco R - On Sharefront as ‘Scirocco B600’.
Comment: Another very quick FWD. Competitive on intermediate and fast flowing tracks but can hold its own almost anywhere.

B600 2000 Nissan Silvia Spec-R S15 - On Sharefront as ‘Silvia B600’.
Comment: Intermediate and speed tracks. Another great engine, heavily warmed over. A very fast car if you have the skill to work it.

B600 2011 BMW 1M - On Sharefront as ‘1M B600’.
Comment: Handling and intermediate tracks. Great engine and quite agile. No real party tricks but a good all-rounder that works well all over the track.

B600 2003 Renault Sport Clio V6 - On Sharefront as ‘Clio B600’.
Comment: Pretty good all-rounder. Very stable and predictable. Nimble and grippy enough for handling tracks and has good acceleration and decent top end.

B600 1969 Ferrari Dino 246 GT - On Sharefront as ‘Dino B600’.
Comment: Stock classic V6 engine, intermediate grip build. Competent almost everywhere, it’s quick and grippy and an entertaining drive. Will crack 150 mph and still handles well around Catalunya.

B600 1974 Lancia Stratos HF Stradale - On Sharefront as ‘Stratos B600’.
Comment: Handling tracks. Grip build with stock engine. One of the coolest cars ever made and a fun, responsive drive. Treat it with respect until the tyres are warmed up and then you can pretty much throw it around as you like.

To WearyMick : I have got ur tunes for the 2 Hondas/2 BMW’s I found them very good handling good grip going through corners. I tried them on the Spa Road America and Road Altlanta,on Spa my time was just a bit slower when I first done it in the Honda Civic CRX. I found it could’nt keep up with the other car mainly a Ford GT40, which just hates me lol, the Civic’ is a good all round car to drive, But it was a bit slow on the straight though, other than that I did’nt find no other fault with the car.

The 2 BMW’s were the greatest on everything handling ect, in the 1991 BMW I got a time of 01.08.795/ on Road America in the 1973 my time was 01.09.584 , alot faster than any of my times also i may get your other Tunes in the game, as I found your price for tunes were good and would recommend them to any one. Thanks for some great tunes and a car I thought about buying the Honda Civic for ages but never had enough CR’s I have a Honda Jazz in real life, was going to buy a Civic but there to expensive for me

Mick, might have a slightly better build for the Alfa GTA, Get rid of oil-cooler, valves, and put race centrifugal supercharger and get rid of rear bumper. 257hp vs 256. 1447 lb vs 1449. See watcha think, any better or not.

14

You can drop in the Race CS if you want (ear plugs not supplied) but the car doesn’t really need any more power. It’s in danger of overpowering its chassis as it is and you would need to get another 30-50 hp in to make much impact on the top speed. I tested every build for the GTA and the one I went with seemed to best hit the sweet spot. I had the rear bumper off for quite a while but put it back because it was using a full point of PI in the final builld I could use better elsewhere. Plus it looked naff. The GTA is probably the fussiest car I’ve tuned in the game so far. Once it was balanced, shedding even a couple of pounds was taking it to a bad place, and even a single click of an ARB was distinctly changing the handling characteristics. The car was actually handling at its best when I had it seven pounds heavier!

15

No prob Mick I thought Ide just throw it out there, I didn’t touch the tune and it actually seem to bite in more and felt alittle more grippy to me.

16

I’ll give it a go again and let you know, but I hate that supercharger whine. :stuck_out_tongue:

17

Well, firstly Joe I wish I could hire you to second guess my builds.

Even though the slight horsepower/weight improvement with the race supercharger actually makes the car marginally slower on paper, it works better with it.

I was scratching my head for a while as to what was going on, but I guess it’s to do with the way the race CS spools up and the edgy character of the car itself. For some reason the race supercharger gets on better with the rear axle than the sport one. You can get the power down earlier and harder and the rear of the car shows less of its characteristic juddering and eagerness to get sideways. The wretched power curves in the tuning menus are of course just about identical so there’s no clue to be found there. I took your build and the original to the drag strip and ran 18.617 dead with both for the half mile. On the quarter the original build was a hairs breadth quicker, which I am putting down to an earlier torque peak, which may also be why it doesn’t get on as well with the Alfa. Around Spa though, the race supercharger was much smoother and more benign. The car simply tracked better under power and was around a full second quicker on the lap for the same amount of effort. As a bonus, the whine also isn’t much worse than the sport CS. I’ve changed the build to yours in the open source thread. Thanks again!

mick can you do this in c class

Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA

19

Sure. I was trying to avoid repeating tunes into different classes, but I’ll do the GTA. I have a couple of other tunes in the pipeline, so I’ll get to it after them.
