Official STI Sales Thread (Early WIP)

Bret, did you give the car to any hotlappers? John has tweaked the tune and I think it notable changed alot!
And, do you stll have # 49 and 50 I sold you the other day?

Nope I havent sent it out to anyone yet. Oh and yah I gotta send those over

So you have the updated tune? If not, send it to me and I put it on - even the built has changed a bit. do you have any other ideas on how to carry on with the launch of this car than already mentioned?

I think we should sell 5 LOCKED and with NO BUYOUT. But thats just me lol. And then get a NEW paintjob and sell it indefinitely.

+1 I like this idea alot

Guuuuuuuuuuuuys! we already have a sales plan! lol




but we may bring it back with a different paint... Sounds like a plan!

Well maybe I need to take a back seat on this project cause I am alittle lost and for some reason I cannot drive the car. I mean I can get stable quick times but nothing fast. It is just not my car I guess. I mean I see John beat me on Scub in my R32 so it must be fast I just cannot get it down. So maybe I should sit back and watch.

Damn it thats not a good sign that you can't drive it....

Ummm Idk I just like... real easy on the brakes idk lol

Ummmm what tracks have you tried it at again?

Pretty much every track that it could be good on. Maybe I am hard on the brakes. I think maybe I will try no ABS so I am not so hard on the brakes. I used to use no ABS in career mode so lets see. I just dunno what is wrong with me LOL.

Honestly I can only get a 1:51.4 on mugelo in this car aswell. Did you fix 2nd-3rd gear from the first setup? They were all wacky.... I bet they worked good on tsukuba. But on the longer tracks it doesn't work.

John- I bet we can make this car a Top 100 one to. I can see a glint of greatness in it aswell. I just think we need to keep workin on it. I'll try and give you as much constructive junk as I can. I'll even take a look at the gear setup and make one of my own if you would like

Well I will do the same I will mess with the tune on another car just to see if it is the car set-up or if it is just the set-up that dont suit my style. But it does have a good chance on alot of tracks. I dont know how you can get that perfect lap on Scuba because it is not the best handling car on the break down.

Maybe cause i love it so much...

Sneaky was able to get low 1.49s on both mugello and silverstone GP... Said 148s are posible lol...Its just a bit different than the usual awd I think. I think the gears are great. Only 4 gears are ever used so less time is lost shifting and the car is always torqueful.

Basically I think it comes down to late breaking and earlu accel outta the corners. Its not as easy to drive insanely fast as say the godzilla...theres less margin for error... but it CAN be pushed.

In any case we are good... It does NOT need to break any landspeed records you know?

Damn this car is starting to piss me off just cause I cannot get a handle on it. I really hate when something beats me. I want to beat my PB at Scuba with it cause I think that if John can beat his I should be able too. I know that it can work but I dont know why i cannot handle it.

Hes basically trying to say that the STI is a HOMOSAURUSREX!!!!!!!!!! hahahhahah

Hmm Im going to work on this car friday, Im know we can get it moving

Well I never did say that (but I can think that) LOL. Anyways I gave it a try and made the gears shorter using 5 gears and honestly I could got go any faster. I wish John would get his is in the Top 100 so I can watch the replay and follow the ghost. Maybe one day.

I think HOMOSAURUSREX just became my favorite word of ALL TIME......

Damn canadians LOL.

Drew......You are the captain of the S.S. HOMO!!!


hahahahaha OK IM SHUTTING UP NOW LOL!!!!

Ok back to the STI. I have tried to make it any faster and I must say I cannot. John's tune seems the best that is out there but the problem is I cannot get a uber fast time. My R34 I can get 53.7XX all day long but the STI I have a hard time to get into the 53's. Dont know what I am doing wrong.

Ill try to break into the top 100 when my girl leaves tommorow.

Its not a LB car... Its a car that has some issues and perhaps thats why i find it so fun to drive.

I got several shouts about this car. The guys want it!!!

Yes I just found the post on FM.net today LOL. Looks like the guys really like it so far. Lets hope it stays popular for alittle longer than a few days LOL.

John, read your OP update on FM.net

I hope you considered that posts can be changed afterwards?! I could imagine some guys try to fake their bid if they see they were outbid.

Anyways nice way it turned out. Still curious how we want to manage this

Yes and I was thinking that we should have like a bid being a certain amount like say 20,000 CR or something because if not they will just say I will pay 40 mill and it will be over. So like 20,000 per bid would work or another number.

good point, but 2ok is too less, I guess. I know, it's an example. You've seen, they already started bidding in the thread.
