quick "project car" update

s2000 - i realized i said i would throw some racing hard tires on it and give you a time, but the car is so perfectly balanced with the sport mediums that i just don't care to do it. with the updates in v1.06, they added a power limiter, so i was able to dial the power in the car back to 260hp from 285hp. why lose 25hp? chuckability. with the power came the ability to control a slide with the throttle, brilliantly. but if you over did it, you were backwards and in a ditch. with the power reduction, there is a lose of throttle steering, but the car is much more easily saved when it's pushed past the limit. it's still a ridiculously quick car for the amount of power it isn't making.

rx-7 spirit r blah blah - i also realize that i never actually got around to doing any updates about this car. just some waxing poetic about how important this car is to me. well, 384hp, 2,446lbs and racing hard tires equals a 58.584 on tsukuba. i'll explain how i got here in my next post.

i'm going to add a third car to the ficp stable in the coming days. it's going to be front wheel drive, under powered and over tired, just like every car i build. but it will also be a ton of fun to drive... just like every car i build.
