We'll have a few new features in GT5 too, like the Predator Edition X which will be all out hardcore track cars, a news section and progress reports on project cars.
I have a couple reasons for the change.
A) The Lion's Den is quite a commonly used name, from alcohol, bands, venues and even a line of Holden merchandise stores (). Lion's Den Performance on the other hand is used for absolutely nothing I can see, type it in Google and no matches come up as Lion's Den Performance being a name used for anything.
B) It sounds better, more modern and purposeful, plus it's more descriptive of what we actually are. I remember when TLD first came out, after a while someone came in the thread and posted he never realised it was a tuning garage beforehand because of the name, which meant we lost business that way. Now imagine the massive flood of new members for GT5, we don't want to lose a potentially loyal customer base simply because of our non-descriptive name.
C) With GT5 coming out we have to move forward in the market place.
Thanks for the buttering up, we really appreciate the very kind words. So if I understand this right, you want a standard 512 BB with standard power and weight on S2 tyres, with suspension and gearing tuned to Eiger?
A torque split change could go a long way in fixing the understeer without affecting the braking stability (which could be more stable at a cost of turn-in, but I could always try and work around it with difficulty?). I'll give it another go, we'll see what happens eh? No promises on an ETA for that though, I'm out all weekend at the best car show on Earth and watching recorded V8 Supercars endurance racing during the nights.
Why the name change, any particular reason or do you just think it sounds better. I guess that means I can no longer be a TLD Fanatic now, I'll have to change it to LDP Fanatic and that doesn't look as good. TLD looks better than LDP, though Lion's Den Performance does sound better than The Lion's Den.

I'm just a few days past my one year anniversary of playing GT5P............ never played any racing sim prior and this is waaaayyy overdue: THANK YOU!
Having traded standard physics and sixaxis for pro and DFGT, I've come a long way (with a long way to go!) and your tunes have a great deal to do with my progress. One of the things I enjoy in the game is driving a car stock for a while and then trading it in for one from your shop. I'm never very far past turn 1 when the smile happens!! Just awesome stuff you do and I'm sorry I haven't said this months ago. I know you have a ****load of silent fans out there and I'm no longer one of them!
I like the new garage name.........performance indeed!! and it is very good to know you'll be tuning those 1,000 cars soon!
In the meantime, aaanndd, having properly buttered you up, I have an unusual request!! An interesting and challenging combo is a stock (as in time trial ) 512 bb on Eiger Reverse. Would you be so kind as to work your miracles on this beast but leave it on S2 rubber? I make this request based on your reaction to a "c c c customer" a few pages up and your shout out to Dragonistic. Classic! Hope you don't mind a very appreciative customer asking for your time and effort on a non-race event tune.
Thank you (and all the tuners, in fact) again and again.👍

I like that: 'fix the traction issues.' Meaning: 'less grip.' But, no thank you. Because, despite the rampant understeer, I still occasionally managed scary oversteer when braking into a fast turn. I think that maybe GT-Rs just handle poorly, prone to braking oversteer and understeer elsewhere. Why is it that the most amazing car around corners is also the worst? It just seems wrong to me...
