I would like cars similar to:

1st gen 1.8L Miata (no surprise, that's what I autoX)
aftermarket turbo version of the Miata (AKA Flyin' Miata II system, 270-280 HP miata)
Corvette 02-04 Z06
2nd gen MR2 and MR2 turbo
AC Cobra
F360 (high reving, mid-engine V8, play mate for the the FZ50).

Yeah, the NA Miata and MR2 would blow away the XR GT and XFG, the turbo version of these would destroy the TBOs, and the Vette would kill everything but the GTRs, but it would be really fun.

Well, after wasting most of my saturday, I fiddle around with several setups and was able to put a few laps into the mid-low 1:29's. I still have a problem with the rear steping out, I think one of my problems is staying on the throttle too much through the turn. thanks everyone for the help.

sorry about 5, I lost count somewhere. I have a wheel and pedal set FYI. Thanks for the tips, I'll think I'll run a little softer and with less power lock in the diff.

I have noticed that the XFG is faster (for me) than the XRG, and that the WR for the FXO is faster that the XRT's WR. Being an autoxer and engineer graduate, I know that for the same weight/suspension geometry/power that just isn't the case. In fact, they should be much slower considering they have equal power to weight ratios. I know that in SCCA Solo 2, that my miata is classed higher that a RSX-S and a Celica GTS, even though those cars have between 50-70 more horsepower.

Hi, I've been racing S2 for about a month now, and I just bought the full version last week. I'm having a real problem with the XRT on Blackwood. It seems like no matter what I do, I just can't get the car to keep its rear end tucked in. I've read over the advance setup guide and used suspension analyzer (v2.2) to get two setups (soft one with 55/42 spring rates F/R, and a hard one 85/70 spring rates F/R), but I just can't get times under 1:30-1:31 for either. I watched a replay last night of a guy who ran a 1:26, and he could drive a lot more aggressively than I could without losing the rear.

I am going to ask a lot of questions now, so please bear with me.

1. What spring rates do you all run?

2. What suspension frequency you tune for?

3. What are your sway bar settings (can't figure out if I'm running too soft
or hard all around)?

4. What about clutch pack setings?

6.What tire pressures do you suggested?

7. Which is it better for adjusting camber: perfect contact patch or even tire temps (I downloaded one setup that could not get the middle and outside temps to come close to the center)?

8. Should I revert back to the XRG and XFG, or go drive the RB4 and FXO for a while?

9. Would running a few autoxes in LFS help me out in the road courses? Its suppost to in real life.

10. Does the suspension analyizer take in account fuel weight?

I hate to sound like a bottom feeder, but if anybody running around 1:26 (my near term goal) could you post your setups please. I don't want to steal them, just see what you are doing.
