    Noticed I was the only one to unlock this so thought I'd do a guide.

    Not as tough as it might seem at first here's the basics;

    Final Drive Ratio (Fleetari) - Highest 4.625
    Air/Fuel Ratio - 13.1
    Wheels/Tyres - Racing slicks front, Rally rear
    Performance Radiator,Exhaust, Carbs, Seat (driver only)
    No Roll Cage (should be ok if its already installed)
    Wheel Alignment - Toe out all the way (wheel stops moving) then 61 clicks back in
    Valve Tuning - Do a basic valve tuning first, plenty of guides out there. Then, scroll wheel down each valve until the valve taps, then scroll wheel up slowly one click at a time until tapping stops and leave it there.

    After that its a simple matter of shedding weight so remove/don't install anything that's not 100% necessary ie. fenders, hood, rear seat, tailgate, doors , etc. Even gauges, every ounce you shave will help your time.

    The most important weight to remove is your fuel, so keep the bare minimum in your tank, I saw a huge improvement doing this. You can also smash out your windscreen (H), not sure how much this helps though.

    My best time was under 16 secs with an Xbox one controller, but have also got under 17 using keyboard.

    Any questions, ask away.

    I was just wondering how you got good takeoffs with the Keyboard, as it can be tricky with less control.

    Derbone88Hey sorry for late reply. Use auto clutch, rev in neutral a little then shift to 1st when light changes. Let the revs die naturally, keep wheel spin to a minimum by tapping throttle. You want as much pull and traction in every gear as possible, as soon as you feel wheel spin at high revs shift. balanced throttle, micro adjustments to steering, good shifting, minimum wheelspin, best advice i can give.
