The front end may need some work.

That's two people wanting a tune for the '67 C2 now, not including myself.
Wow... five new cars and not one Works Convert. Plus, what the heck is up with the gear ratios on the muscle cars? 5th and 6th gears are locked, requiring Drivetrain stage 3, which I HAVE INSTALLED, and the gears are still locked.
Wtfuxx, is it supposed to be like that, or something? Or is this just another one of EA's screw-ups? >: (
I WANT ANSWERS.
Any other North American gamers notice this at all? =\

Well, a lot of muscle cars back in the day only had (at best) a 4-speed transmission for the purpose of power and torque.
So, it's supposed to be that way. It's not EA.
For once.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Didn't think about that. Last time I played with a 69 Charger, I was gaming in NFS Carbon. Was a little different. Anyways! Thought the Works could be put on Supra because of the way the dashboard looked in the vid clip I saw on Youtube, but I was wrong. Got no choice but to go with Stage III then. That car is amazing. I can't wait to see how you guys handle this hot import.

Glad you like it...
After driving the RS4 for awhile I could'nt really get to terms with the heavy braking and started playing with it's distant cousin, in the form of the "LP560-4".
Thanks Renown Tuning, -what fun I'm having, thanks to your work. I blame you for whizzing around London time and time again 👍

HI TERRONIUM / just a quick question regarding toe angles, can get same numbers with toe in as with toe out how do i know to move slider left or right?

Generally speaking, it goes as the following...
- Positive rear can help with acceleration and handling, and can also help with the overall stability of the vehicle.
- Negative rear can help with the steering angle (i.e. powersliding/drifting) and can also offset oversteer to some degree.
- Positive front can help with straight-line stability (not to be substituted for caster). There is the possibility the vehicle may become twitchy under braking and turning into a corner.
- Negative front can help with steering response and handling, but just as the positive adjustment there's the possibility of the vehicle becoming unstable or just not handling as well as it did prior to the adjustment(s).
And of course using excessive values can increase tire wear, diminish tire grip and you'll likely have to nurse the vehicle too much for it to be drivable. Hopefully, I didn't misunderstand the question.

On a FWD, no. At least not to the same degree as a RWD vehicle, considering there's already an understeer bias. To actually warrant the use of caster (for whatever reason, a particular taste in setups) you'd have to do some serious work to shift from the front to the rear with the LSD.
That's not to say you shouldn't use caster, but more often than not you're not going to need as much as you would with a rear-wheel driven car.

Generally, you'd want to keep away from anything that would otherwise cause an FWD car to drive any more straight than it already does.
Why?
Understeer. If you were to use an excessive caster angle that would affect the slip angle and you'd end running wider and steering response would feel non-existent. If you want to use caster be sure to offset (if only a little bit) it with an oversteer bias.

No problem. Anything else you need feel free to ask, and I'll be sure to get to you tomorrow, or just ask me when I'm here.

I have a question: I used the tune listed for the CCX, and the front-end will bounce uncontrollably if I hit a bump or something. I have the controller set as specified. Is this normal? Have I done something wrong?

You've done nothing at all. Unfortunately it's just the way the game behaves with certain cars.
I will look into it to see if I can make it any better though.
