Thank you for taking the time to visit my little garage.
My objective here is simple - tune cars I like to drive and share them with anyone that is interested. I am not beholden to any artificial limitations like not using ballast or any one tuning method or style. After driving quite a number of cars in GT6 I've found some effective tools for making cars fun to drive and fast.
In GT5 I entered several F.I.T.T. Tuning Contests with some success and highly recommend you keep an eye on the F.I.T.T Events Calender as a way of improving your tuning skills by observing GTP's best tuners in action, and to take it a step further, volunteer to be a test driver. There is no better way to improve your driving skills than by running 100+ laps in various cars at a single track!
All my tunes will be done on a G27 with a GTEYE brake mod. GTEYE is also an official GTPlanet Site Sponsor and if you have a G27 I highly recommend you invest in this upgrade. It's a far better feel than the stock spring and the service level at GTEYE is excellent. Mine arrived from halfway around the world in less than a week!
Room Settings - Tire wear on ~ Grip Reduction Real ~ ABS 1 only
Tracks
Short and flat like Tsukuba and Stowe
Elevation and camber change like Bathurst and the Full Nurb
All around tracks like Brands Hatch and Suzuka
Top Speed Testing
Bathurst or Nurb
Tunes will likely fall into the following categories most of the time:
400PP Comfort Softs
450PP Sports Hards
500PP Sports Mediums
550PP Sports Softs
600PP Race Hards
Seasonal and special events as required
Race series specific tunes as required

The basics of tuning in GT are well known but GT6 comes with it's own quirks, like camber not working (as of v1.04). My tunes will reflect these quirks and a version number will be included with every tune. If the tune is updated after a major change in physics, that will be noted. @MotorCityHami has written what I think is the definitive guide on LSD Tuning and that's what I follow so all credit to him in that department. I am using a little stronger "initial" settins on my LSD this time around to get a bit more liveliness in the rear end, and you can adjust this to suit your own needs as necessary.
In Post 2, you will find links to all my tunes
In Post 3, you will find lap time charts of all my best laps turned in testing
Use these for comparison purposes to compare different cars on the same tracks. You'll also find tranmission tuning methods and some other useful information.
In Post 4, you'll find more links to other excellent garages, race series or events I participate in or recommend along with anything else I might think is useful...or funny
Good luck, and I hope you enjoy GT6 and I can help you at some point with a likeable tune

Awesome !!! 
So I'm thinking if I may contribute my work to your garage, it would be great !! Of course, you can decide if the tune I made worthy to be listed -sometimes my tune are hard to tame 
The suspension and LSD are based on real life car with some tweaking, so I think it would be drivable on a wheel at very least 
I didn't even realize it was there until I went to re-tune it. I did the best I could with it at this early stage of the game, it's very stable but I can't get it to rotate the way I want with ABS on. I am reworking the Focus as well and it's much more aggressive and fun to drive...and fast!!
