Welcome Mr. Shaffer.

well, first read through the tuning related section of the forum, read a couple of guides so you have a little knowledge about tuning, if you don't have already. Then find a car you like to tune.
then:
- do your tuning
- put all the parts you find on a list
- press new reply
- type the parts from your list
- tell us your story
- tell us your problems(ex: it has to much understeer, how could I solve it?)

(suggestion: put on the top why you chose the car, and a little history about the car. It gives the post something special.)

Hey guys, i was wondering if any of you have ever tried to tune a car using N tires, lets say N3s being they provide a bit more grip. There inlies a real challenge i would say. How much better can you improve a lap time using stock tires? If any of you have any entries for that, please post them, i would love to try them out!!

Do not get the SRT-4s, they suck so bad. I cant believe I spent 20 grand on a car that cant turn. It topped out at 180 mph... THAT SUCKS!!!

ever thought about tuning it with the gearbox? You can manually adjust the gears and make the gears longer.

Then again, 180 mph for a FF isn't hald bad.

Its Hard to drive these cars after you drive the formula gt '04

I've tried the SRT-4 and it's not bad at all.

I'm tuning an Honda S800 with N2's. But it's slooooow...

has anyone bothered himself with my Focus? I dare to say that it runs neck to neck with CTR..

give me a car and I'll do it.
It can't be that hard.

(The Clio Renault Trophy car was black and right beside the R92CP.)

How about a 93-95 Efini RX-7, that should be a good one, i love that car, tune it anyway you want, but keep it on N3s. Test track is up to you. Cheers. Also for reference, give me your stock lap time vs. tuned lap time.

I can't believe that you dumped every available power upgrade into a FWD car and then are surprised that it doesn't want to turn with all that stuff roasting the front tires.

The SRT-4 is a great and fun car if you treat it reasonably and drive it effectively. Putting a huge amount of power into it is not treating it reasonably, and I'm betting that your throttle control and braking technique are not terribly effective, either.

FWD cars are far better as momentum cars than they are as point-and-shoot missles. That means you want to keep the power modest and focus on carrying as much speed smoothly through the turns as you can, rather than relying on brute force to dig you out of the hole on every corner.

Because weight transfer is the enemy of front-wheel-drive cars, FWD racers must strive for momentum. The object is to brake, steer, and accelerate smoothly and minimally in order to conserve velocity. If you’re used to a blunt power weapon like a Skyline or Supra, you’ll need to relearn your driving habits.

Because FWD cars tend to understeer, the natural response under stress is to steer even harder into the turn. This is counterproductive, since the understeer is caused by overloading the front tires to begin with. Reducing the amount of steering lock can help the front tires regain grip, resulting in a paradoxically tighter turn.

Braking techniques vary by car. Some FWD cars prefer to be braked heavily in a straight line before turn in, so that the front tires don’t get overloaded. This is the classic driving technique from the days of skinny, bias-ply tires. Many FWD cars, however, respond to trail braking, which means braking later and riding the brakes into the corner. Keeping the weight on the front and off the rears can help the car rotate into the corner, provided the front tires can handle the load. Brake hard at first, and ease off the brakes as you increase steering.

Just like braking, accelerating too much or too soon can interfere with tight cornering. There’s only so much traction to go around; spend it wisely. Try letting the car coast through the apex, and squeeze the power back on as you exit. Give as much throttle as possible without causing the front end to wash out in understeer. If the car heads outside, trailing throttle (a slight lift) should help tuck it back in.

Because of the limited traction, FWD cars benefit from and rely on a dogleg, late-apex line. Turning sharply and early in the turn, to straighten out the second half of the curve as much as possible, lets the driver get back in the throttle and carry more speed out of the corner.

Although the post is somewhat confrontational, I'm definately giving Duke positive reputation for that last post.
Take the advice he offers. FWD'ers are hard to work with and obviously Duke knows something about how to make them work. 👍

Duke, that post should be in this thread too.

Ok I need a resaon to by the 93-95 Efini RX-7 anyway so I'll post the stock and Tuned times and settings if you want them. This may take some time as in I have to find the car money is not the problem.

On a side note does anyone know how to download you GT4 money in to your bank because I have 20,000,000 just sitting around doing nothing.

Perfect, can't wait to see what you come up with!

The Mercedes-Benz 300SL is a two-seat, closed sports car with characteristic gull-wing doors. It was also given the name "Widowmaker" because many male drivers died when crashing their 300 SL's

Interesting Car LdS.

I could give you one tip:
turn of all driving aids, You will get to know the whole car then. Driving aids are there for people who just want to do some arcade racing. Since you are here, I'd guess you're not like that.

hope this was any help, happy tuning!

Done. Thanks 👍

I think I shall add my old Camaro here later today. I'm pretty sure that you peolpe will like it.

Interesting Leo.
