My first project was an S2000. It has every mod available except adjustable diff. It is absolutely amazing on the track. It almost seems to read my mind.

My current project is the 74 Countach you win as a prize car. It came to me bright green :sick: but I immediately painted it dark yellow. It has just about every mod now. That V12 really loves to rev. And it really handles for an antique.
 
My last project was a fully moded corvette zr1. For my next project I'm considering a lexus LF-A or a Ferrari Enzo .
 
I actually want to beat all the events first before I jump into tuning and customizing my cars, so for now, I'm only spending money on wha I need to progress.

But once that's done, one of the things I want to do is tune a RM'D Corvette and make it as invencible as possible for online races.
 
My First Prject was a Honda Civic Type-R EK "97 (premium car). 450hp, 330 km/h
good Acceleration, and Speed.
I changed Break, suspension and modified it. Modified Gears too. everything. now its Very Good.

Now im working on a Skyline R34 Spec-II Nür (Premium car)
 
I plan on making the Z4 M Coupe my first project, plan on making a VLN wannabe out of it. Not so much power, more handling.

800 HP cars just arent that usable. lol
 
Current project is probably my 300zx '89. Not maxed out, sitting at about 550 HP right now, got all the body upgrades and most of the mechanical ones. Only really need to do the lightening/engine tuning, a customizable gearbox and some race tyres to go.
 
My project was rather simple yet very expensive. The goal was to make a Gallardo look like a Supperleggera. I had to find a lime green color and paint a Gallardo. I also added a spoiler. It saddened me when I had to pay for the green... Ouch...

Thought I'd do a thread for people to discuss their creations using the tuning system, hopefully be a good source of inspiration for everyone! :)

So to get the ball rolling...

My first foray into the performance upgrades was with a Lamborghini Murciélago Super Veloce, where my aim was to create a race going version of the car similar to the Mclaren F1 GTR in order to compete in the Gran Turismo World Championship, Supercar championship and the Lamborghini Event.

I wanted to stay true to the original car as much as possible so I limited myself to making only the adjustments I felt necessary for the Le Mans 24Hr.

So first I focused upon removing the excess weight from the road car, and then added the racing essentials of a titanium exhaust, racing air intake and fitted a beefier clutch to handle the extra power. Finally I fitted a set of Hard slicks.

I'm absolutely loving the feel of this car at the moment and cant wait until I'm high enough level to race it a Le Mans for real!

My only gripe is that I'd like to be able to convert it to rear wheel drive, but I dont think this is possible?

TL;DR: What's your favorite creation using the tuning system, and what projects are you looking forward to doing in the future? (Credits permitting :sly:)

PS: Hope this wasn't a boring topic for a thread... :nervous:

Im on level 20 and opened all the races...there is no Endurance, i am very dissapointed
 
Wow NSX looks amazing. Def my next ride.

Worth the purchase and upgrade. Sure, it gets left behind on some of the longer straights, but ground is quickly made up in the corners -- where all the fun stuff is. Good luck!

👍
 
I've been using a different car for each race so far..

Saving up for a LF-A... I like that car. Maybe after its maxed out, I should try the SLS AMG? :)

How much is the LF-A?

I just bought an NSX Type R but I don't know if I'm going to do anything with it.
 
RMed my Challenger. Now, I've got to buy another one in Sublime just to paint the Racing version. Then, I'll post pictures. Next...I don't know yet.

Wait! Your car's original color before Racing Modification is in your paint-swatch inventory.

My (little) project is an Autozam AZ1 mean just look at it :p

I havent got a project as yet as Ive been concentrating on licenses etc. I did win that Izuzu concept car from '89 so I may put some money into that and let you know my findings.
 
I've been steadily upgrading my Mini 1.3i '98. It's a little beast but as much as I think it rocks, it's never going to compete with the supercars, but it is quick.

Shame really. I went online last night looking for a decent race or two and unfortunately I kept finding myself racing with Zonda's. Not a chance in hell of competing!

Which license gets you that? :drool: we badly need a prize car list.

Im working on a 89 miata. Currently full weight reduction 832 kg! Got power modded to 204hp. hoping to kick it up to 250 hp still got intake and a few things. Basically building a miata how mine in realife is going to be after this winter.
 
Mine is the Chromeline Murciélago. Maxed out at 871 hp, the front still need a bit work, it's a bit unstable beyond 330 km/h. :D Just before calling it a night bought me a SLS AMG.
 
Currently spending my money on the Daihatsu OFC Concept car. I just like small sports cars, find them funny. Shame the Copen and OFC are the japanese versions, bit low on hp.
 
Currently working on perfecting my pink Ferrari Enzo. 840+ BHP so far, and the only thing I'm missing is a racing transmission. After that some fine adjustments to the suspension and transmission. :dopey:
 
MERCURY COUGAR XR-7 '69 is my current project, im new to the game but always prefered classic cars to the later supercars of today. currently at :

719BHP/5100rpm
119kgfm/3900rpm
1408kg
FR drivetrain.
top speed 249mph. i've only managed 208mph due to bumpy tracks

i've no idea if thats fantastic or not and i know its fairly heavy, i've not done any weight reductions but i have a small problem with putting the power down due to grip and i dont know if loosing weight will affect grip negativly in this game as its a classic and i cant put a spoiler on it. (using the racing soft tires to give more grip) but i assume its alright as i've beaten bugatti veyron's and alike in the Ametuer series with at least 5 seconds gap
 
I've been working on a SS Camaro. Not really done much to it yet, other than a few engine tweaks. My plan is to give it the highest top speed I possibly can (Maxed out at 115mph standard, I've got it up too a whole 125mph but havent done anything with gear ratios yet) I gave it to my level 1 B-Spec driver the other day, it was hilarious, evey corner he turned he spun out, despite the fact its not that hard to handle and my repeated attempts to tell him to decrease pace. Only got 340hp (up from 289hp) at the moment I think.

Just short of 500 bhp, but it drives sweet as a nut. Easy to get the tail end out and control it.
