Dude, your car is cheap enough...if you want post your IS250 tune and if enough people get it we can run that tonight as well.

only comment is that the car understeers. usually with FWD i like to oversteer at entry and if it is too much i can accelerate to get me out of trouble, but if a FWD understeers there's no way to stay in the line and the position is usually lost.

I've noticed that. ...but if I brake a little before corner entry and unload the rear wheels, then turn and accelerate (kinda Rally style), the car gets around the turns... I just scrub too much speed in doing so. I was thinking of loosening the front sway.

So...I thought my Forza save bit the dust. Threw the disc in, started the game, wouldn't load anything (Xbox pseudo-froze). Restarted the console, same result. Finally on the 3rd attempt it loaded everything up but I was worried. Very odd...

The SWZFiesta tune was AWD for me...

These are Forza Droid tunes (I just punched in the weight and stuff and it tells me what I should set everything too)... sorry, I can't tune to save my life!

Mine did the EXACT same thing.

great racing...even though I didn't realize it was awd till someone mentioned it halfway through, and then it dawned on me and the launching nonsense made sense :)

I get the feeling that OSJ is abandoning us...we're just not cool enough.
