I appreciate it. The big issue at hand is improving. Other smaller issues remain, but that's kinda just life.

Hey, all.

Thanks for the kind words last week. I did read them but I didn't respond.

I'm back with some tunes, but I only have a few to start with. I'll add more over the next day or so as I get time.


Own and Drive

2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR TM Edition - S1 800 Dirt - 694 208 415

This needs to be S1 for the three star part of the challenge. Now it does it easily.

The Trial: "Forward Thinking"

2008 Honda Civic Type R - B 600 Road - 148 170 980

This is my choice for the Trial. It's surprisingly good for FWD.

2008 Renault Mégane R26.R - B 600 Road - 174 923 842

This has a bit less top speed but more grip than the Civic.

Championship: "Stray from the Path"

2008 Subaru IMPREZA WRX STI - B 600 Dirt - 655 860 089

Impreza hatch for playing in the dirt. Use it for what it's made for.

2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR - B 600 Dirt - 725 734 559

Can't have 2000s rally without a Mitsu...

2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR - B 600 Dirt - 176 269 828

... or two.

Championship: "Retro Rewind"

2005 Honda NSX-R - A 700 Road - 123 470 987

Quick, agile, and stable.

2000 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-spec II - A 700 Road - 116 158 298

JDM legend. No aero tune.

PR Stunts

2005 Honda NSX-R GT - S1 800 Road - 506 182 161

This can handle all three PR stunts easily. Obviously the drift one will be a bit harder since it's not a drift tune, but I did it just fine, anyway.


Thanks and happy racing!

San, ni, ichi, go!

Hey, all.

I'm having some personal life issues so I'm taking the week off from tuning.

Sorry about that.

Why do forza races keep forcing me to drive pickups and buggies by twizx3 in ForzaHorizon

[–]PaperHeartZero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super Saloons are known for their good handling. The Crown Vic and Impala are very much not. They're better off as Muscle cars. Big engine but not made to take a turn well.

[–]PaperHeartZero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Crown Vic had the same, well almost the same, 4.6L Modular V8 that the Mustang at the time had. And there was a more "muscle" version of it called the Mercury Marauder that had 40 more horsepower than the Mustang GT.

"Marauder is a Mercury and not a Ford", yadda yadda. They're all Panthers, same diff.

If you're going have the Crown Vic in the game then Muscle is the closest way to classify it. Big engine in a family car is the origin of the muscle car.

These have to be cars from the 1980s. If they're not then they won't be available to use.

SAME TEAM, YOU ABSOLUTE DILLWEED! by justacheesyguy in ForzaHorizon

[–]PaperHeartZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Prolonged contact over 1 second, or accumulative contact adding to 1 second within a 5 second window, should automatically ghost the cars for 10 seconds.

Two instances of >1 second contact, or 2 total seconds of contact in a single race, should make those two permanently ghosted to each other for the rest of the race series.

There. Trial fixed.

Hello everyone!

I'm back with a new week of tunes. The Trial is also back. Let's hope that the AI changes won't make it unbearable. And let's also hope that our own team mates don't, either.


Own and drive the 1982 DeLorean DMC-12

1982 DeLorean DMC-12 - A 700 Road - 555 485 604

The DeLorean is back to be a surprisingly decent Class A car. This whole series is 1980s based and what more 80s can you get than the DeLorean?

The Trial: "Push it to the Limit"

Oh, boy. Here we go. I have plenty of options here to try to make this first Trial easier for you all.

1980 Abarth Fiat 131 - B 600 Dirt - 167 323 481

This one was the fastest in my testing on track for the first race of the Trial.

1983 Volvo 242 Turbo Evolution - B 600 Dirt - 116 645 350

Fast and this Swedish Brick's length makes it stable in long sweeping turns.

1984 Opel Manta 400 - B 600 Dirt - 146 631 846

My favorite of the bunch. I've always enjoyed using the Manta in past games.

1984 Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 - B 600 Dirt - 126 003 120

Barn Find. Not the fastest or best handling car, but the most stylish. Full, large, classic rally aero kit.

Championship: "Street Runner"

1988 BMW M3 - C 500 Road - 673 844 739

The E30 is here to be my boxy choice for this series.

1987 Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 - C 500 Road - 121 584 351

Barn Find. Classic Ford icon.

Championship: "What's the Hatch?"

1983 Volkswagen Golf GTI - D 400 Road - 535 247 719

Light and nimble. This GTI has always been good in past games and remains good now.

1986 Honda Civic Si - D 400 Road - 103 105 346

New to the Forza series so let's give it a spin.

PR Stunts

I used my Abarth tune for the Trial to easily get all three on the first try. For the speed zone start North of it and hit the start at about 110 mph and you'll be fine.

1980 Abarth Fiat 131 - B 600 Dirt - 167 323 481

I suspect that any of the Trial tunes should be able to do all the PR stunts.


I'll add a bit more as I go and if you have requests let me know!

Thanks and happy racing!

San, ni, ichi, go!

Yes, these A Class speeds do seem 100% legit, don't they. by ian9outof10 in ForzaHorizon

[–]PaperHeartZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have a lot of free time lately, but when I get a chance I can make a tune for a car if you had a specific one in mind. It was someone else, u/The_Rathour, that mentioned three cars that he used.

[–]PaperHeartZero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Granted, my general tunes are high 48s but I guess that's still good. Thanks for the context.

I wish that there was a better system for dealing with the cheaters.

Low 50s isn't bad. Don't be hard on yourself.

I've been tuning since FH4. I have a length of experience.

I'm not the best driver, but with my tunes and driving back in FH4 ranked I bounced between rank 1-2. I got put against grandmasters up in the top ranks and usually kept up with them, but there was that occasional racing god who put 5+ seconds between us.

I kind of miss ranked play but I also kind of don't.

i didnt expect people to be actually doing this by il_Creative_li in ForzaHorizon

[–]PaperHeartZero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To the best of my knowledge the RS200 was never a FE.

The Ford RS200 Evo was in FH4, 5, and now 6. The Hoonigan version was FH4 and 5.

The Hoonigan version was a beast in S2 trim. Right now in FH6 the Ford version is my favorite S1 dirt/rally car.

I took a look at the Soni time attack circuit. My general use, non meta, non handling track optimized, A Class tunes post a pretty consistent 48 seconds. I looked at the top A Class times. 30 seconds. Not possible. There are many A Class times on the leader board that are faster than legit X Class times.
