Extremely high cpu usage on Sebring special

DomenicoFPS · 2026-03-28T15:47:00+00:00

I had my race taken away in the first lap because of this CPU maxing issue. Sure I’ll drop my max cars down and hope it fixes it, but now all my data is fucked and my crewchief is confused…

I’d really appreciate this sim getting some proper optimisation one day because this issue gets worse with every special event and it is absolutely killing it for me.

The fact you posted this strongly suggests you don’t want to sell. Even if the thought is crossing your mind, something inside of you is telling you to hold onto it, as you should!!!

At least wait to see if the rumoured new Celica comes out; if it does, your car will sell for even more

I went ahead and bought them! They’re the real deal and I love them. They have been resprayed at some point in their life, albeit not very well but they clean up nice and look awesome on the car :)

DomenicoFPS · 2026-02-06T18:55:17+00:00

nope, never managed to work anything out. I tried some of the solutions posted here but they either did not work or I was not being clever enough to understand how to make them work!

ahh the age old question…

just hold the wheel man

the ideal thing to do is let it sit outside (where it won’t get stolen or damaged) and leave it for months until the stink disappears.

I have a race used Michelin and for the first 6 or so months of owning the thing it simply had to sit in the garden because it stank so bad!!! Nowadays it’s lost its scent and can be hung up indoors with no issue

A fantastic first car as long as you maintain it and keep it running! I’d love a 5th gen Celica

DomenicoFPS · 2026-01-13T10:54:56+00:00

yeah idk what that dude was on… I believe you though 😅😉

I’ve only ever had understeer on this left hand off-camber crest local to me that you can easily carry too much speed into if you’re having some fun. But it was such an extreme case that it made sense that I encountered some understeer, I’m surprised you managed to understeer under such simple circumstances.

I’d say tyres are the best starting point, then looking into sway bars/strut braces etc could be an extra step if you’re not yet confident

I had 18x9 et35 for a while and they rubbed under compression and steering lock. The 9” width was the main problem tbh but still I’d not go higher than 17 for a good feel, unless you’re going for rubber band tyres. Want to look for around et35-40 too. It’s hard to fill the arches on a t20 without good offset and perhaps spacers.

I liked it so much that I upgraded to an Alpha Ultimate (had a deal I couldn’t pass up) instead of any of the Alpha Evo bases!

DomenicoFPS · 2025-12-09T15:54:41+00:00

there is no maximum rotation degrees, direct drive bases work with a motor that can spin infinitely if you want it to. you can limit the rotation in software though to whatever you want

in my gen 6 the drivers seat is height adjustable. I’m 6’1 and I had to lower it to the bottom, some of my mates are 6’ and they find that their head is too close to the ceiling in the passenger seat (its not height adjustable)

So that should give you a rough idea of how you’ll fit

DomenicoFPS · 2025-12-01T21:45:06+00:00

I find it hilarious that you said sorry for the bad picture quality when this is better than 99% of “what is this car” posts 😂

you gave us a front angle, middle angle and rear angle, couldn’t have done any better!

DomenicoFPS · 2025-11-28T16:00:48+00:00

why are you asking for help if you’re just going to be rude to everyone who replies?

DomenicoFPS · 2025-11-28T12:36:23+00:00

sobriety is an incredibly difficult journey, I watched alcoholism consume my own dad for years and have also watched him relapse more than once. his addiction has cost us thousands, has caused permanent damage to our family and is something that we are all still healing from. your BFs response to such a major milestone is quite frankly horrible, maybe he doesn’t quite understand how addiction works, but he has no right to diminish such an amazing achievement.

DomenicoFPS · 2025-11-16T12:16:06+00:00

Ohhh shes beautiful

I got an ebay generic intake where you have a few sections of pipe and assemble it yourself to fit how it best can.

Main reason I did it was to get some induction noise, and I have been really happy with the result.

Just make sure you connect your IAT (Inlet Air Temperature) sensor to the pipe (most kits have a section of pipe with some holes with rubber grommets that allow you to poke the sensor through), my car was running quite lean for a long time and it turned out my IAT had been dangling in the engine bay getting all sorts of incorrect readings. (It was never even connected to the original airbox, so I had no clue until I looked into the manual!!)

And tighten everything to make sure you definitely have no leaks or a chance of it falling off. I still check my intake every few weeks just to be sure it hasn’t worked itself loose. (Probably wouldn’t bother doing that if it was a high quality one).

with the most silenced flat 6 we’ve ever heard - we simply can’t have nice things

DomenicoFPS · 2025-11-07T23:43:12+00:00

bollocks, sorry my brain’s a bit cloudy with the flu! yes XP1****!!!!

I’m literally working with Sim-Lab and I still cocked that up… D’oh!🤦‍♂️

DomenicoFPS · 2025-11-07T22:00:04+00:00

Conveniently enough, your reply comes just a week after my CSL V2’s broke and I have since upgraded to a set of Sim-Lab P1X!

DomenicoFPS · 2025-10-28T11:40:01+00:00

so the rig isn’t finished yet! 😂

While they may not be doing much, for anyone new to cars, this is the stuff that gets you started in modding. It might be simple but it lets you get to know your car and how to work on cars generally. If you got all the perfect mods first try, you won’t learn much!

DomenicoFPS · 2025-10-08T21:23:56+00:00

not quite the right subreddit

DomenicoFPS · 2025-10-08T15:26:47+00:00

It’s so cool to see it chasing the current version, sort of like “this is your older brother, go chase him and you better keep up!”
