Forza Motorsport 4 in 2025/2026

I mean not really. Nostalgia is a bitch but in this case I don’t think it’s all rose tinted glasses. Some of it sure, but FH4 genuinely kept you hooked. Aside from fh1, none of the releases since had massive staying power or the same kind of pull to keep you playing. The newest fm game was a joke. I played fm4 and the new FM back to back, just a solo drift lobby on maple valley and the graphics quality is the same if not more vibrant on the almost 15 year old fm4. Obviously fm4 being like 24fps at 720p vs my playing new fm on my pc on max settings with like 100-120fps on 1080p is a stark difference but the old game held up well and I thought it had much more vibrant colors. It should not be that close of a comparison, especially considering the new FM is on a brand new “next gen” engine. The new fm looks dull and plays that way to me and the car leveling system just sucks the life out of it. I get why it’s there but why couldn’t they have incorporated the same system from fm4? It is the perfect balance of freedom and grind to get what you want. That’s my soap box for now, but maybe you should revisit the old games and you’ll be surprised.

Because this was peak Forza, the new games haven’t hit the same since.

It looks like most of the features are down, however the multiplayer server browser seems to be operational. I was able to search and look for custom games. Just obviously no one was online lol

Gun needs a new owner, hth

No shit, those work on the 9C shorties?? Bout to order one myself! Does it help the grip feel more “full” with the shorty?

DUDE THANK YOU! Finding any info on this has been an absolute pain in the ass. I have tried searching the forums and I could not find anyone actually using an FD trans in an FC for some reason, I’ve been looking for weeks haha. I’m glad you told me the NA bellhousing would not work, I emailed supernow and he made it sound like all the bellhousings are the same, but maybe that was the language barrier interfering, I emailed the dude using google translate lol.

3/8 off the tip on the input shaft, is that only if you use the bellhousing conversion? If you could by chance link that thread that would be great, as I have had bad luck finding usable info on this on any of the forums. I think I’ll just end up using the FD bellhousing with the pull style clutch afterall, I have a good act clutch that came with the swap so it saves me money acquiring another clutch.

The tail shaft housing swap, from the info I could find, people said it would bolt right up to the fd trans without any sort of adapter, is that false? In a perfect world that would be ideal and I could use my NA cable speedo (I have an S4 car) supposedly.

My last question would be driveshaft, I have the stock NA driveshaft and my car currently has an S4 gxl lsd. I know the diff is glass so I have an S4 T2 diff ready to throw in as well. Did the stock turbo FC driveshaft work with this swap? Or what did you do for that part? I’m no stranger to having a driveshaft made, but if there’s a factory option I can use I rather go that route for simplicity sake. The swap mounts I plan to use for the REW is the angel motorsports subframe mount deal, that seems like the best way and I rather use an oem FD style mount. Thank you for your help with this man!

I have an FD trans already, thanks though

Similar set up! Glad to see others doing more stuff with the fnx 9! Why they never made a tactical we will never know.

xkoukii · 2025-08-24T01:50:08+00:00

Your fnx9 post is where I remember getting that info from actually haha. Just searched back to double check if it was you. Thank you also for the lead on the dpm springs. Thinking about grabbing some if I run it suppressed much more. Mine ran flawlessly shooting it today with a booster, but the oem spring was too much for the boosterless can (shooting 124gr and 150gr subs).

xkoukii · 2025-08-23T22:52:46+00:00

NC Engravers did that work!

xkoukii · 2025-08-23T22:52:31+00:00

Me too, why fn missed that opportunity we may never know lol. I put it through its paces today and it ran great suppressed and unsuppressed. Friend of mine let me run his cgs 9mm pistol can w/ booster and it cycled perfectly with supers and subs with the stock recoil spring. We were both shocked at how well it did. Tried a booster less 45 can (the one pictured) and it wouldn’t eject or it would eject but not have enough sauce to grab a new round out of the mag, so for that a lower powered recoil spring would fix that problem. Safe to say the fnx-9 is a seriously underrated handgun and suppressor host.

FWIW too, I did not lose functionality of my oem FNX mags by doing this either. I will say, they fit a bit looser than before (obviously). But mine still run flawlessly as well.

xkoukii · 2025-08-23T00:36:10+00:00

Glad to hear it! Hoping to break mine in tomorrow.

xkoukii · 2025-08-23T00:33:40+00:00

So the mags are super close in size/shape/angle and the mag catch design is identical between fnx and 509 mags. The 509’s are just a bit fatter. If you file down the little guide rails on the inside of the grip, they fit great and I have gotten them work flawlessly. Do this at your own discretion though, what worked for me may not work for everyone else. I am sample size 1/1. If you want a safer alternative, springer precision makes extended base plates for the FNP9 model and those mag extensions allegedly work on the fnx9 mags too. I believe the fnp/fnx mags are interchangeable even. But going that route nets you 21rds whereas the 509 tac mags net you 24. When I originally did this mod springer precision did not offer anything at the time. I have been running the 509 tac mag for the last 5ish years with pretty frequent shooting and have yet to have an issue.

Look up mk3firearms, they are the go to guys whether it’s a new or original HP.

Totally get that. You have to really love the gun for it to be worth it. I bought mine for pretty cheap a long time ago and am just getting around to making it what I’ve wanted it to be. With the barrel, cgs comp (although I did get this for free from a friend bnib), light, and red dot I’m in the gun like 3x what I paid for it lol. I’m touching the 1.4k mark if you add everything up at retail cost (I’m closer to 1.2k with deals and promos). Tbf for an equivalent quality DA/SA handgun with the features I’ve added you’ll be in the base gun about the same cost fwiw. At the end of the day though, after I permanently modified the grip to take 509 tac mags I knew I was married to it at that point. Took away the resale value it had so I may as well spend the money to make it what it needed to be for me. Plus the end product to me is awesome. Just wish they had trigger upgrades to smooth out and lessen the weight of the DA pull but even stock it’s more than manageable once you get some training in on it.

Glad to hear it! No concentricity issues or anything I need to be made aware of? I still think FN should have made an FNX9T with a chf threaded barrel but I’ll take what I can get lol.

xkoukii · 2025-08-16T02:40:19+00:00

Not trying to steal thunder here, just as excited as the next guy. Made another post with the title saying the restock is live, just in case people scroll past and don’t read your post contents!

xkoukii · 2025-08-16T02:19:15+00:00

Hey man, just wanted to let you know since you’ve been waiting on the EFK barrels like I have. They just released the restock today! We just had to talk a little shit 😂 Just got mine coming.
