You think he stuffed the figures? My dog could tell he stuffed the figures....

I highly doubt it depends on the engine either. If it's a stock naturally aspirated engine, you will almost never see any worthwhile results from just a remap.

Funny story, but I actually caught out that remapping fellow when he tried to sell his work. First i let him babble on about how he could give my cars more power AND economy, makes them more reliable etc...He then pointed to the Lexus and said "the engines in them are well tunable mate. I could easily get at least 50hp out of that...". "Wow really?" i said. "Just out of curiousity, how would you cover the inevitable damage caused to my gearbox after you have given it over 50hp more to handle? The clutch plates on these transmissions are pretty weak, and aren't really made to handle anymore than the standard 220 or so horsepower." He then laughed in my face and said "Haha. What you talking about? Just fit a racing paddle clutch or something.". This guy really must be a genius if he can fit a paddle clutch to an Auto!!

I then decided give myself another laugh. "I'm planning on getting the cylinder head on the Honda overhauled after christmas to gain a few horses. I will be porting and polishing the head, and fitting some upgraded cams/valves etc. I've discovered that the standard Honda OBD E.C.U system is pretty much untouchable to map changes. Therefore I need to fit independent engine management like Hondata and find someone to make a map for it....". With a blank look on his face, he said "Umm, ok. Well if you get it fitted and wired up, bring it to me. I will turn up the air and fuel mixture. Will have it running lovely.".

At this point I was trying not to roll on the floor in tears of laughter. I politely took one of his business cards (which politely went in the bin) and said I would be in touch. It's a scary thought that that guy has probably done some "remaps" on someones car before and has ****ed it up.

i agree, thought i feel that tuning is not about gains in power or shortening you're 0-60 ( or whatever most dream about ) its more about getting a reliable well rounded machine that performs veyr well for its specs.

Ive had similar lads trying to sell me their parts/data and im not interested, considering an average car i see gets mapped twice at the last by one owner that alone kills the sale in the water but then they go on to say how they have a b16a making 300+ n/a... i ask to see it and get some advice, after an hour or so of " no i can't, but ill lecture you anyways " they politely feck off, leaving me to sit back a well, just text their details to everyone in the trade letting them know theirs another Ed china in town.

Quote from AJS :

topic says it all

if you had some dates which didnt follow the usual conventions feel free to post ...


so my take (quite some while ago) :

after 1st date in a bar we drove over 100km to her student home ended up in bed but no sex and not even kissing. she was into hugging. next day we spent together entirely (he what should ive done it was not my car...) then never did see again

i think its hard to beat...

oh and i should mention my car was locked in her garage...

atleast you parked something in her

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

Don't believe everything some of these "tuners" say though. I had one guy say that from just a remap, I could easily get a 50hp gain from the Honda and Lexus, despite the fact they are both Naturally Aspirated and would be unlikely to get a 5hp gain, let alone a 50hp one.

depends on the engine though you are right, i think he just stuffed the figures.

Quote from Scatter :

Physics feel different. It seems like a small change but it makes a world of a difference. The tires all feel grippier. Well not really but the transition between grip and slip feels much more gradual. It makes the cars feel noticeably less twitchy, especially when drifting. It seems like I can "feel" the wheel more as well when I'm using my DFP. Also, it feels like the cars have more body roll or something. I've actually jumped off the hill of Eiger Norwand crooked (as in one wheel landing first) quite a lot, which has almost never happened before before the update.

indeed i feel this too, with dfgt, heck even with controller i play with +7 sensitivity and in all aspects of racing, its nice to have a progressive roll out of the corner now rather then a somewhat jerky Tear from one side to the other of the apex ( upon entry or exit )

Quote from Fastwalker :

Belgium is too skilled to be on the chart!

I totally agree with the Just For You-tier!
(In FPS games... not talking about LFS'ers <333)

thats funny, i don't recall playing with any Belgians who beat me when playing arma... CSS... quake ET cod or any shooter for that matter...


just sayin...

just get rid of you're xbox and still with pc, Seriously, i only play gt5 as i love its japanese arcade appeal.... other then that, its just not worth it man.

Quote from MadCatX :

I read about this a day ago or so, he's certainly been one of those whose name shouldn't be forgotten. Just consider that C is still used to program anything from simple microcontrollers to scientific supercomputers - it's the most successful programming language ever thanks to him and Kernighan.

On a side note, when Steve Jobs dies, someone raised the question of what will the people's reactions be like when some "real" computer sciences genius or pioneer passes away, it's nice to see that Ritchie's death doesn't go unnoticed.


fprintf(stdout, "R.I.P dmr\n");


thanks to real guys like him, the world has steve jobs and his like...


so his passing is sad but Hey, mac fags are still mourning too

interview me, ill swear till the cows come home

Quote from R3DMAN :

Ive not really been around that much, just check out a couple of posts here are there so i just wondered if development still on going? or has it been publically announced that there is no more development?

i just wonder, that is all.

im sure development is done where possible, but frankly doing things right at a snails pace is better then rushing to produce an arcade/generic racer ( not that lfs is breaking the mold, but trying to set standards rather )

Quote from BlakjeKaas :

The "Just for you"-tier does seem to be good in english though.

The rest is true.

i'd say the same but their isn't enough paddys gaming, the ones i do bump into are geenral sound and don't fall for the brits being cnuts to everyone, x10 times more so when they see an irish tag.


Personally i wouldn't of put the spanish or scots up so high but thats just me.

played the demo, t'was alright for a console game.

Quote from Fuse5 :

why is it that you constantly post
yet still have nothing to say

u mad


I always thought a 3 rotor conversion for the 3 would be fun, namely a light tuned lump would give most honda's a go for their money. If he states that its in the 12k ballpark to safely turbo, wouldn't it just be best to swap in a totally new lump ?

And yes, i know the work required, Is the end result not worth it ?

Quote from XCNuse :

Blown engines, blown parts, blown bank statement.

My buddy was boosted in a 3 sedan 2.0, that turbo ran him about 12k in debt.
Fortunately his engine still works.

Minus some blown gaskets, a warped to shit header, a broken 3rd gear, a destroyed ECU, and miscellaneous other things.

why not go the other route and put in a cosmo lump and destroy sh*t the n/a route...

I drift cars the odd time but its normally a pre crushing ritual with my welding skillz + a lack of luster for most cheap bmw/mercs outside of the pre w124/e34 era...

Quote from prjoectdradix :

notice to all demo users reading this now and or in future, Buy an s2 or we can't Really help you, sorry...

Quote from wonderxboy :

I am here to say that i have been banned from a server for no reason at all
all i tried to do is to kick stupid so called "JDM Ahmet" just randomly kicking people and spamming "11111111111111111"i for one found this very anoying and i voted to "kick" not "ban" him.

After it failed he voted to ban me and another group clan/guild all pressed 1
im not trying to make a huge deal out of this but i for one am not happy about these people.

if u want to know what the other clan/guild is called here you go "HardWay"

server i was in INDERACER #3 Drift

its demo, get used to it. ( even on s2, pr1cks are everywhere, murphys law etc etc etc )

Quote from unseen :

Still having fun guys?

Meant to drop by recently to answer things and see how you`re doing, but a close relative recently caught a shitty dose of terminal cancer. Not really sure what to think right now, but I`m trying to keep on top of things.

I`m still here, if anyone wants to ask anything, I`m just not quite running at 100% atm.

can we haz a super complied version that we all are running so i can set up a dedicated server ?

Quote from Scrabby :

Tbh.. the Polish roads are better than Belgian.. The drivers however, they are crazy!
And the girls next to the road when you enter poland, haha! But the people are really nice etc.. Want to go back asap!

agreed, being undertaken at 220kph by boy racers with no lights on was strange, but their crash was funny as fcuk.

Quote from hazaky :

Uhh, lol ... what's wrong with the "normal one"?

drive one, its like a 1991 cavalier except that handles better, is faster, looks better, built better.. probably gets better mpg on cheap petrol too

Quote from superxp :

No, it's because petrol engines are way more restricted than diesel engines at 24h du Mans... So of course, they won...

don't forget, cosmo powered or rotary as a whole are banned due to bently audi & co being shit at what their good at.

Quote from Inouva :

hahahaahahahahahah, this one is the best so far
