Breaking the 13 was my goal, and I just pulled a 1.13.99 this afternoon. 
Thanks for the encouragement. On to a 12...
Thanks for the encouragement. On to a 12...Knowing that's the proper amount of time to get it helps. Thank you.
I got ONE 1.14.96 in, a few 15.0X, with that tip, but nothing else in about three hours of hotlapping. My keyboard or monitor will be broken after a few days of this crap. 
I really think that I just need to re-learn HOW to wheel the car in general instead, rather than focus on individual sections, and that's why I was looking for help mostly. I know the technique is just wrong somehow, but I don't know what that how is, etc. etc.
Really sucks to be a car guy and have absolutely no talent in sim racers.
EDIT: also here is the file.

Reason : uploaded RAF
Can't for the life of me figure out how to upload my files. Is there a button somewhere?
EDIT: Let me read that reply that got posted as I posted.
OK I do have LRA. I'll just download hotlaps then. I'd still like help from other angles than my own. I know I suck, I'm not a race engineer that can read and understand this sort of data right off the bat.

How do I get hotlaps from online to use in the analyzer side-by-side?
Analyze my lap data.
So I bought an S2 license and I'm in an awful rut of sucking in the FBM at BW. Smart spend of cash obviously. 
And I'm stuck there because I know I suck badly enough at it after a week of afternoons hacking away at it that attempting any other car on any other track would be nightmarish. I run anywhere from mid-1:17:00's to my lowest being a 1:15:15. I've tried a couple setups from online racers and tried adjusting them for some softness and understeer according to a guide I found, but I only make setups worse every time I touch a single setting.
What I have generally been recommended to do, here, in servers, and elsewhere, is to watch the faster racers from spectator. It doesn't work well when the cars appear to be updated every fifth of a second and just kinda skitter around the general racing line as far as I can anticipate. No idea when they're braking, how the cars really need to move, what are the proper steering inputs, etc.
I've attached 3 laps' RAF data with a setup that has been "good" to me so far, which, to you all reading this, might be as useful as me saying it was quite like driving a car on a racetrack.
And yes, I do think these aren't bad laps for me. As in, I know they are absolutely atrocious, but... could be worse...
My biggest issue is that I don't know what proper technique, setup, etc. are, and I don't want to get settled into the wrong form, and I fear this has been true for my several years of sucking at racing sims (in a competitive sense).
I will be back to edit this if necessary as my dad is getting mad at me for something I don't know what it is.

1990 Pontiac Grand Prix Turbo (And I assume I can't embed images in the post? I'm new): http://bit.ly/Rqg7FC
Designed by ASC/McLaren, who made the Buick GNX, McLaren Mustangs, Dodge Viper Diamondback, and tons of other projects. 205hp/220lb/ft 3.1L V6 with a Garrett T25 turbo. FWD with 4spd 4T60 automatic. There's a long read about what it is here: http://bit.ly/P9tyoR
My first time on the half-track (nearest 1/4 mile is 2 hours away, no thanks) I ran a 9.07 @67-point-something before some vacuum lines fell off and I got scared.
I'm 17 and this is my first car, rather not break it so soon. Only a few hundred left in good condition out of the original 5000-or-so.
Mods: replaced injectors (less flowrate actually), new memcal program, K&N cone (RU-1390), good set of road tires (Cooper Zeon RS3-A 245/50R16). I want to have a place repaint and fix the body before I do more performance stuff, once I'm settled in college
