I am looking for tips on how to tune drag cars. I am a beginner and i want to learn from the pros. When i get the time, i will put forth the tips i receive (if any at all). Any drivetrain is acceptable. What i have been doing is taking tunes from SHMO and using them (kudoes to you @shmogt), and i want some tips so i don't have to rip people off for their hard work when i do nothing and just take them. :indiff:
 
Shmo barely runs pros and all I see is spray tunes on his page. Running nitrous with us is extremely rare and rather upsetting when people say they're fast (shmo)
Check out master shakes tuning guide for drag.
looking at them all he can't tune for drag...sorry you got a misinformed start
 
There are plenty of tips and tunes in threads pinned at the top. If you got any questions feel free to ask. Try to keep the questions in the relevant threads, to keep the clutter down and make it easier for people like yourself, to find info.
 
My tip is to avoid the drama. Read all of the information and tips posted on the forums, taking it all in with a grain of salt, then adjust your car and make conclusions on your own. Personal preference is important when making your drag cars, and my guide in itself is based upon my own preference of tuning. If that's not what you're comfortable with - take the knowledge and apply it in your own way. That's the best way to learn.

Also my favorite drivetrain is/was MR.

If they are posted on the internet for public access, how are you ripping them off? Someone using their tunes and claiming as his own and not giving the creator credit is ripping them off.

If by Mitsubishi and Subaru, you mean Evo's and STi's, then you're going to have a real hard time beating any decently tuned GTR
 
Man are you for real... seriously dude you need to pick you lazy ass up! There a search feature and threads are stickied for drag racing advice all over the drag sub forums. It's not that hard to do a little research and use your head. Dude pfff!

👍:tup:Something like that ¬

Its because I was enraged today. I'm still having trouble trying to add a credit card @ billing.microsoft.com. Trying to add ever since Tuesday. Been on to 2 Microsoft chat agents through the week so far. I'm still without Xbox Live. I bought an Xbone on Sunday, it arrived Monday. Although I have no multiplayer, my experience of the Xbox One and Forza 5 game so far is pretty good and positive so far. I've made posts and a thread in the Forza forums about this in the "Forza 5 Millionaire glitch" and "Forza 5 Can't paint BRZ wings". If you guys want to hear what I think of Forza 5 have a look at the ATP threads. It's pretty good.

Wow, yeah that would frustrate the hell out of me, Really, how hard can it be to bill a credit card ? Unless its a prepaid card, I've heard of issues with certain cards regarding online purchases.
 
Below are the problems I've had with with my Xbox account since trying to add a payment card since last tuesday. I took all these posts I made in the Forza 5 Millionaire glitch thread so you guys know what kind of issues are wrong with the ww.xbox.com website. Spread the word. Microsoft need to get their sh** sorted out. Today when I log into my account I can't even click on any of the support links at https://account.xbox.com/en-GB/social. I get this error all the time

Server Error in '/' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An exception occurred while processing your request. Additionally, another exception occurred while executing the custom error page for the first exception. The request has been terminated.

It gets worse when the account at least half works I can get to microsoft chat support if I don't get this error I get an error trying to add a payment card saying CP200 with a long ass code beneath it.

Thanks for the reply. I'm really just interested the past week. If people have tried adding a car in the past week. Because I get CP200 error then a long code on my Xbox and online. Then when i go to billing.commerce.com or microsoft.billing.com When I add a card I get an error about the service being unavailable. When I loged into a 3rd PC today to try add my card.

When I clicked billing under my gamertag sign in menu top right of page I had server error that red writing come up saying and exception error has caused another exception error of some kind. On wednesday I couldn't register my Xbox for errors then it worked on thursday. I've been trying to add my card since tuesday with the same error. I've been onto Microsoft chat support 2 times now.

Yeah it's nothing to do with my computers or viruses because I'd newly factory restored my laptop just before I got my Xbox One on Monday. Then I tried on my older Desktop Windows XP Pro PC today. Same errors. It's not my card as I can use it everywhere else and I'm not overdrawn I have money in bank so its nothing to do with me. Ordered Xbox from amazon.co.uk on Monday and it worked fine.

I used to have an Xbox 360 which was over a year ago now I bought Xbox Gold and had Forza 4 with it. But that was over a year ago. I closed my account under the same email address I always used for my hotmail email to log in on Xbox one and create a password. I needed a new password which I changed and setup on Xbox One. Then I changed my gamertag on wednesday from the default one it gives you if you don't set a gamertag name. Maybe I need to create a new account under a completely new email address. But I shouldn't have to do this, I've had my hotmail email account for years.

Microsoft billing as soon as I log in and click manage payment card or add payment car, The country/region drop down box at the top is buggy it is pre-set to United Kingdom when I log in. But I had to set the drop down box to different country/region then back again just so that the phone number and postcode are not asking for the USA format. Even then sometimes they don't change when I set a new country/region. Sometimes it takes two changes for the form to properly change to the UK form.

I've told Microsoft on the two times I've chatted to them about this. I don't know but I think they are having massive issues with their microsoft.billing.com or xbox.live.com or www.xbox.com websites. Also the first time I chatted to the support agent she said she spoke to a specialist engineer who said they were updating tools. She asked me to try again later and said she would get back to me on my phone number and never did. So I did I tried wed, then Thursday. So I opened up a Microsoft chat on Thursday and we went through Xbox One, my Laptop and online using two different web browsers.

She also said told me to wait and try again later as she was having some trouble at times with the tools on her end. Then all my chats queries with them have been logged for when I open up yet another query maybe on Saturday or Monday. I just think Microsoft are having many issues or problems right now. Or it's something to do with an old account I had over a year ago which I don't think it is. Because when you close an account it should be closed right?

Hey I'm getting very impatient with Microsoft. Heres an error from trying to add my payment card on billing.microsoft.com again today and ever since Tuesday this week. I've tried to add numerous times whether on my Xbox One, one my Windows 7 laptop or Windows XP Personal Computer using two different Web Browsers.

I have already had two chat sessions with a Microsoft agent through the week. One said they were updating tools on their side and it might be something to do with that and that she would call me back. She did not call me back. The 2nd agent did the same thing and said to try again later after I gave all the errors trying to add a card on both www.xbox.com billing.microsoft.com. My sessions with them and previously were logged if I had any more problems trying to add a payment card when I use Chat support to contact them again.

This just seems to me that Microsoft has inherent issues or something really really wrong with their website that they aren't working to fix. I've been trying to do this since Tuesday. This is appalling from Microsoft. I can't buy Xbox Live membership until my payment car is allowed to be added on my account. What an earth is going on! ughhhhhhh :mad::mad:

Error
Our system is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.

It seems there are all sorts of microsoft website errors. Heres what happens when I go to Buy extended service plan (ESP) Xbox warranty from my registered device page.

I think it's fair to say that Microsoft's web servers are in a complete mess. Way to go MICROSOFT.
