Ibishu Pessima

More front end damping would make the front land smoother I think, but I haven't done any tuning in a long while so I wouldn't know.

 

Maybe I'll try it after I get back from Dillingham tomorrow night, thanks.

 

It might be that bump stop has not enough damping, or then it can be related to ARB setup, not sure which, but some cars still tend to bounce bit like pogo-stick even ARB behavior was greatly improved with Torsion ARB setups quite recently.

I have thought it is bump stops, but might of been way ARB was working.

For race variant I have made this setup, which does not get quite so much air time, not sure if you can get much improvement to street tuned variant by examining it, but might be worth to test with such damping:

Didn't the LCD display on the stereo system used to show that the car was playing Candle in the Wind by Elton John? Did that get removed or something? The stereo in the 200BX is still playing Sandstorm by Darude...

 

Was it the other Pessima?

 

No.

 

Reverb Pulseblaster 40-C.

On a factory stereo.

I’ll just leave that there.

 

Mine is fine

It's ReverS.

 

I found a problem
The Street Tuned has 17X8 front wheel and 17X9 rear wheels, which leads to understeer at any speed

 

That not a problem that's a feature.

 

Most, if not all, FWD cars have wider rear tires than front.
Wider front tires gives you lethal snap oversteer.

 

That isn't correct unfortunately. Most FWD cars have a squared setup where the front and rear wheels are the same width to make it have the most balanced handling and the ability to rotate tires. The only time I can think of a FWD car having different tire widths is on a drag racing car, but those are purpose built for driving in straight lines.

 

Ah alright. Completely gloss over damn near all FWD american car from the eighties but do continue.
Anyways, a car having wider fronts than rears is a recipe for disaster.

 

Most, if not all, RWD cars have wider rear tires than front.
FWD cars have same rear tires as front.

Other Pessima(2nd gen) than Street tuned use the same front and rear tires

 

After doing about 5 minutes of research, I can find only 1 oem car that had a staggered tire setup on a FWD car. It seems that it was a feature on one of Pontiac's performance models. My project car is a 1989 Buick Reatta and it has 225s all around. I can't seem to find any other mentions of FWD cars leaving the factory with staggered tire setups.

 

What?

Most sporty RWD cars do.

FWD? It's a common practice to rotate front and rear tires around to even out wear and increase their usable life. Just sayin'...

 

So I was playing around on the Liberty City map, spawning up a navy blue Pessima to mimic a dark blue Kuruma, when I realized that Candle in the Wind by Elton John was once again playing on the stereo.

Thinking it was something I changed in my settings, I loaded up Safe Mode, and checked every variation of Pessima on Empty Grid, but the stereo display was once again blanked out. Desperate, I decided to perform a summoning ritual in which I played Candle in the Wind while driving a Pessima off of a cliff with dynamic reflections off, and it worked!

Jokes aside, I think the problem lies within the screen texture's reflectivity, as the text would show up and disappear depending on where the car was positioned against the sun. This would be affected by shadows from buildings on the Liberty City map and whether the car was upside down or not when I threw it off of a cliff while looking at the stereo.

 

you could say the text disappears from the screen "like a candle in the wind" *ba-dum-tsss*

 

bingo bango bongo this thread is aliveo

While this isn't at-all based on the USDM Taurus from the 90s, it'd be cool to see a low-capacity V-8 akin to the SHO.

 

How about gauges that actually show you what the speed is?
