| Toe What is toe? Toe is the angle of the wheels when the car is viewed from above. That's a terribly worded explanation, so let this image tell the story (courtosy of the main site!): http://diy-racetuning.net/Forza-Motorsport-3/DIY_jpgs/toe-O-N-I.jpg Basically speaking - toe out causes the car to ... |

I was planning to do a couple of bits on Aero and Diffs at the end actually so it's coming
I'm off on holiday to the sunny (lol) south west of England today, so there won't be any update until after friday.
See you in 5 days! |

| Dampers - tuning I simplify the tuning of dampers by tuning them in the same way as the springs and the roll bars. The overall damper strength (and the balance between rebound and bump) determines the oscillation effect I mentioned at the beginning of my previous post. This is scientific stuff, and... |

| Dampers - Theory It's science class time again! Right. Imagine a weight suspended from a frictionless spring. For those of you with no imagination I've drawn another bad picture: http://i36.tinypic.com/10wrup0.png Yeah...I can't draw springs very well, but you get the idea. Now what happens if we p... |

| The answer to the build question I figured it out...they are using a centrifugal supercharger. It adds a load of power and a bit of weight. So I'm halfway through my tune and I've found a possible improvement to my build. In this situation it's upto you whether or not to change the build. If you do... |

| Hey guys, I haven't given up on this, I've just been enjoying the new production hoppers :D I'll try to update this weekend. As for the aero - I'm gonna write about that in more detail in the future, but it would be one of the last things I'd adjust. The problem is it will affect the balance of the ... |

| Now for a couple of short asides.. Sinister goings on... Being impatient and inquizative, I decide to check the leaderboards for other Corrados and compare the stats. In case you didn't know, if you view the leaderboards on the official Forza site you can see the power, torque, and weight of any car... |

| ARBs - balance This bit will be short and sweet. :) Now, I've said earlier that ARBs affect balance in the same way as springs. They work with the springs to provide roll stiffness (stopping the car from rolling in corners), and the balance of the stiffness from front to back affects balance. So I ... |

| How to tune roll bar stiffness This is always difficult for me. When tuning spring stiffness you have the telemetry to watch so that it takes most of the subjectivity out of the process. With ARBs this isn't the case. Before doing anything, set your roll bar front bias to the same as your spring fr... |

| Anti-Roll bars - Theory As I've said before I'm not very good at explaning things, but I'll give it another go. Anti-roll bars connect the left and right suspension on a car. What this means is that it tries the make the springs on the left and right hand side of the car move together as one. An in... |

| Hi mate, welcome to the site! :D It took me ages to get to grips with tuning, because I didn't ask questions. Don't make the same mistake! There are plenty of people on here who will help. As a starter, your lap times for any given car are influenced by: ⋅ Your ability as a driver. ⋅... |

| Springs - Balance Next stop is to tune the balance of the springs to get the car to handle like we want it to. Now I always used to think that you could set the springs according to the weight distribution of the car to get the best balance, but I've come to realise that this is incorrect for the f... |
