This is my first tune, and I don't really know much about each component apart from what I read (and have now forgotten!) in the GT5 guide. I just did trial & error mostly.

Anyway, my fireblade is fully spec'd with all upgrades @ 254hp, 369kg & soft racing tyres:

Transmission: depends on the track I guess (I fiddled with everything @ 200kph max speed if it matters)

LSD:
Initial Torque 50
Acceleration Sensitivity 50
Braking Sensitivity 20

Suspension:
Ride Height -10, -10
Spring Rate 5, 4
Dampers (Extension) 6, 7
Dampers (Compression) 5, 6
Anti-Roll 5, 5

Wheel Alignment:
Camber 0, 0.5
Toe 0, 0.15

Brake Balance 6, 4
 
I tried this but so far I can't improve on 57.657 around Tsukuba with stock settings, with this tune I'm struggling to beat even 58.328. I don't think this is suited to my driving style, but I can't figure out what's wrong...

Then I reverted back to the stock settings and got 56.453 straight away, first lap. I know there is time to be had somewhere, a car this light should destroy Tsukuba, I was expecting 54 second laps without much effort.

I just got the car and man... so underwhelming... my lite-tuned 111R runs faster round Tsukuba :( (high 54 secs)

My lite-tuned Caterham gets to a mid 56 at the most... i was hoping for so much more :(

i have all the parts for both cars, 111R running stageIII turbo and Fireblade on a Supercharger
the 111R is alot more stable on straights and through the corners
