Braking Balance - 70%
Braking Force - 90%
Stock Diff installed

I also have The largest Tires and wheel size on all four corners and Advan RGII's on there.


I tried to duplicate this to see if it gave me better handling.. the first thing I noticed is that I wasn't using the biggest tires, so that helped a bit. I also changed the braking balance/force like that and added some more downforce (man I hate the ugly spoiler you have to put on to accomplish it). But I can't seem to change camber, toe, or caster at all...?

Cost of game = $60
Cost of tires after one race = $400
Chance of dying if I hit a wall at 180 mph in real life = damn near 100%
Chance of dying if I hit a wall at 180 mph in game = damn near 0%

Ability to race in my boxers and with no racing helmet ? Forza 3

Why not do both???

Oh man, just finished building and tuning an A Class MR2, that thing has to be the most fun to drive!

So yeah, last night my girlfriend stayed up until 3 am trying to win a race... She finally did it, she came running upstairs, super excited she got first. Was probably the cutest thing ever!!! And what was she racing, thats right, my purple fc :)

Make sure you have the most advanced suspension installed. The lower levels don't have as many customization options available.

Now I'm pissed. I had some trouble with my hard drive and had backed up the whole thing using a Datel Xport 360. I load the backup so I don't have to start completely over and now I get a message saying my gamer profile has been flagged by anti-cheat mechanisms and I can't use the auction house or download other people's designs or tuning setups.

In Forza 2, a lot of people, myself included, used the Auction House to make obscene amounts of money by bidding on a car or cars, then loading an old gamesave so you have your money back and cancelling the bids on those cars, essentially doubling your money every time you did it. So that's why they're doing this, but they should at least look and see if you made any money in the process. I haven't tried to do anything shady at all. I've bought maybe 2 or 3 cars legitamately through the auction house and a couple people have bought an LA Dodgers logo I made, that's it. They have no proof anywhere that I tried to cheat because I haven't, just that I loaded an older gamesave which actually had less money on it because I had to redo a couple races, and I did not access the Auction House at all in between using the old save.

I'm hoping I can get the ban lifted because otherwise it pretty much cripples an $80 game. I like trying out other people's tuning setups and buying and selling cars on the auction house. If I can't do that, I'll probably stop playing online altogether because it takes many hours of tinkering to build your own tuning setups when sometimes you just want to grab a setup and go race.
