you are probably tired of answering this question ... but where do i START when tuning a car? and where do i go from there?

thanks.

There are many faqs at the top of the tuning forum that could assist you with the problem you are having right now.

It doesn´t matter at all! If you are set to tune your car with all the best parts, the order of purchase has no difference at all.

 

[Scaff]

Are you asking which parts to buy or how to actually tune the car itself once the parts have been bought?

If its the parts to buy, then as Team666 has said as far as power goes the order you purchase them in does not matter. Apart from that I would advice a balance, rather that just throwing all your money at power upgrades. Power is only any good if you can get it down on the road.

If its settings and tuning advice you are looking for, my I recomend my GT4 Tuning guides, simply click on the link in my signature and download them. It consists of two .pdf documents with lots of help and advice. Hopefully you will find it useful.

Any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.

exhaust & air filter: racing
NA Tuning: Stages 1-3
Port Polish

Flywheel: Racing
Limited Slip: Full Cust.
Racing Brakes
Turbine Kit: stage 2-3

Weight reduction thru stage 3

now... yet i still cant tune the downforce of my car. what upgrade do i need in order to tune that up?

you need to buy a spoiler........you can buy it where you can change oil/buy other rims/wash the car.

thanks ... but where at there? i only see: Car Wash, Oil Change, Wheel Shop, Wing Shop ... nothing about spoilers

 

[Greycap]

Wing shop. Some people call them spoilers, some people call them wings. It shows a picture of the wing when you select it...

And good luck.

oh thanks ... i have one more question and i think i'll be set.

NA TUNING vs TURBINE KIT

is there a preference? i notice when i have one equipped the other is automatically dequipped. owever, having the turbine kit on gives more HP.

It can depend on the car and personal preference. The turbo will (normally) give you more power, but only above a certain rpm point. NA tuning generally gives you a more smooth delivery of the power increase.

The above is of course a very general statement, the best advice I can give you is to pick a car and try a few laps with each, see which you like best.

Just remember the extra power is only any use if you can control it.
