Tuning Help?!

OK it really is dumbass time. Trying to work out why I'm so far off the pace - 5 secs/lap at Motegi East.
And then it dawned on me.

Am I running a turbo..?? How can I check??
I've never tuned the cars on Forza, so not sure how to make sure? Any help is appreciated!

And yes, I realise this may mean a DSQ from the Motegi East round, but seeing as I finished last in both races I don't think it'll hurt my Championship standing too much!

Just sent you a tune dude

Haha thanks Ian.
A lack of turbo will equate to approx 5 seconds I'm guessing..? Either that, or I'm REALLY s**** haha

Also will have an up to date for for you just for next race due

No no you have a Turbo

Nice .

Let me know how you get on

Reminder, you can have your car PLOW tuned for a mere position of a PLOW logo on your car.
The PLOW logo entitles you to tuning all thru the series as long as you are running it.

We also do paints of many descriptions.

Notice is via xboxlive needed for both.

Ok thanks for the tune Ian. I noticed the diff almost immediately, however I noticed you had tuned to a diff spec than mine. So, am I right in guessing, as long as the PI and other regs are adhered too. I can tune however I want? I spent a couple of hours last night "playing"with diff parts etc within regs, and noticed a good sec off my time . If this is the case I may be able to keep within reach off the pack lol. Fingers crossed.

Let me know please and thank you.

Thanks for the heads up about forza Droid too, that is a little beaut. IMO

Yea get the Forza Excel calculator by Slave Monkey on forza froums -

Easy to use and understand just watch videos in OP.

Yes you can add any parts to a car so long they are allowed in the rules and fit the specified criteria

Cheers Duncan, I got the calc yesterday too , just not had chance to use it. One good thing I going out about it I think you can use google docs if you don't have excel. I hope anyway lol. I did find that the forza Droid app worked well with the suss setting. The civic handled a lit better with the tweak, thank God will have a play later and post a time in the time forum. Thanks again.

Stupid auto correct. Sorry lol

Anyone have a tune for the Audi R8 4.2 for Hockenheimring race?

Erm, that doesn't run in the TCC...

Yea I know , guess I'm in the wrong thread. Got one for the Chevy Cobalt SS I can try?

Dodge acr is better than cobalt, by alot

Still hunting for reader before I get excel again.

For anybody interested. OpenOffice Works fully http://www.openoffice.org/

Thanks for the heads up

Does anyone know, when tuning with the calc will it apply the same with the wheel add controller. I am finding that with the wheel, when gearing down I am getting a load of devel grip causing oversteer and throwing me around the track like nobodies business. I know it is just a matter off adjusting diff but was just annoying me. Also what are the advance settings for in the wheel options? Cheers

Please see my above post. I am really needing help with this. Any ideas Tub?. Loosing so much time n speed on the gearing down .

David, well known difference between the wheel and controller, the level of string grip is massively improved. This accounts for your oversteer, as for the down change, be less aggressive or wait for the revs to get into a lower range before changing down, banging it through the gears helping to slow the car down is not good, wheel our not.
Send me that car, paint and tune will ya.
