*update*
After racing online with this most of tonight I've realised that it's a bit off the pace on the straights, suffering badly to the nsx's and subarus. My evo-X loses to them but not quite so badly. Problem seems to be mainly centered around 2nd gear exits not being torquey enough, maybe something could be done with the gearing to help with this?
That said it's still a hell of a fun drive!

Well, earlier today I was planning to make a review of the M3, but the thing is that there already are like 3 reviews posted, and can't agree more with all of them, yes it does give you a lot of confidence, yes it's surprisingly fast, stable and neutral, yes it's a lot of fun to drive and it really surprises you, it gives you the confidence of the world, when I drove the stock M3 I thought it felt very heavy and a little sluggish, and to be honest it still feels heavy but as in a planted kind of heavy, but oh well I think I should stop now and as much as this wasn't exactly a review I'll give it a rating of 9/10

Whatever floats your boat.You didn't mention the sound? Thanks for the review.
Sorry if I made it too good 
I didn't think it would be so easy when I first thought of trying it, after so many people claimed it was the "worst handling car in GT5".
You know you can request a car now if you like.👍Thanks man, hope your business and mine both flourish together in the future.👍 Reading your reviews makes me feel like driving it again right now.
If you have a request car, you know you're allowed now.Maybe, can't say I've tried it there. To get 630 PP, just decrease the weight primarily as much as possible, then use the power to use any remaining PP you have left.
Slow on the straights? It may not be the fastest but I don't find I have many problems with it in terms of straight line speed.
In other words, read the other reviews, copy and paste in my mind.
You get another request car now too. I think I accidentally made the M3 too damn good.

Sound=meh Ford GT is how a V8 is supposed to sound, BM lacks spherical dangly bits.
I'm trying to make up my mind what I want you to tune for me next - I'll let you know when I've decided.
Only slow by comparison mate. I do think something could be done to help the pickup in 2nd gear tho - feels just a tad soft. It aint about top end - it's how quick you get there.

The Bimmer sound OK, there are different kinds of V8s, and the Bimmer is the non-musclar one, and it sounds good.
A Ferrari V8 sounds in-decent. Ford GT sounds tough, as does Corvette, but both are so hard to drive I don't really drive them. (The Corvette should be easier, it's not the tail-out mid-corner have issues with, it's the tail-out at 250km/hr on a mild no brakes corner
I have issues with.) Still, point is I think the Bimmer sounds good for what it's meant to be. And yes, I'm as big a fan of muscle cars as anyone.

Review:
I rarely chose to drive the NSX much in the Gran Turismo series. Being limited to 276 HP stock, it never really raised the hairs on the back of my neck…until I drove this car tuned for the PP600. This car is fast. If you don't look at the speedometer on the long straights, you might feel like you accidentally entered into a PP650-700 race.
While eagerly awaiting nd 4 holden spd’s setup, I did quite a few hotlaps in this car in its stock setup configuration on S2’s in the PP600 free run. It handled better than I expected. About the time I started to become comfortably familiar with the handling of the car, I received a copy of the PP600 setup and I soon found that I had to completely “re-learn” how to drive the car. The stock configuration was no slouch, but nd 4 holden spd’s setup makes it feel like a completely different machine…in a good way!!!
Most of my racing experience is on the PC sim Live For Speed. No other sim, in my opinion, has replicated such a “life-like” feeling between the car and the driver. For those of you that play LFS, this car is right up your alley because it “feels” like a car in that sim. For those of you that haven't tried it, it is considered one of the best racing sims on the market due to its great replication of vehicle physics. I almost have to remind myself that I am playing Gran Turismo, because, like LFS, the car "just feels right". It feels rock solid and it literally glues itself to the track. If you understand what I am trying to say here, this is a HUGE complement in my book. 👍
Be warned: This car can be a bear to drive if you switch straight into it after using another car. It has completely different handling characteristics than you may be accustomed to. There were plenty of times when I cut into a corner much quicker than I had anticipated. In fact, the sudden turn-in that this car is capable of may get you a few Corner Penalties until you get used to it. Unlike a lot of cars, it really likes to be pushed hard under cornering. Baby it, and you are likely to understeer. I found that a heavy foot and a little finesse on the throttle can correct a lot of understeer situations and get you pointed into the line of your choice...and fast too!!! You will find that this NSX can switch from a slight understeer into a very tight and very pronounced turn-in on a whim. It has just enough power that you can also "punch it" in a corner while obtaining just enough wheelspin inducing oversteer to make up that last bit of turn-in as well. Until you get used to the car, be careful where you "lift" off the throttle as you might end up pointing in a direction you don't want to go. It is important to train yourself to fight the urge to lift in certain areas as throttling through is often your best bet at a cleaner run...especially in the S-curves. I could not be more pleased with the way this car handles the corners. I can not make it spin out without doing anything drastic. As a matter of fact, I have yet to spin it. Even if you make a pretty bad mistake, you are still coming out pointed in the right direction!!! Once you come to grips with its handling traits, everything about this car will become predictable and second nature. Mastering it, though, will take some time.
The front tires bite in this NSX like no other car I have driven. Like I stated before, you can change your racing line on a whim. It is very easy to tell when the tires are going to break traction when pushing laterally, just like in LFS. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect such a "long' car to turn so quickly and so tight. It can breeze through the hairpin and take the corner very tight. It does not "swing out" under hard acceleration like most other cars do. You can almost do a tight 180 and head straight up the left hand curbing!!! Another time saving benefit in this section of the track is that 1st gear is so smooth. Time-scrubbing wheelspin is almost non-existent as you quickly power out smoothly, straight, and away from many of the cars arcing out wide behind you.
I never recorded my lap times because I hotlapped the car only to get a "feel" for it before racing online. I care more about race performance than "best lap" times. However, I did notice that I consistently hit the checkpoint before the hairpin with sub-one minute times on almost every lap when I was hitting between 1.0-1.5 in many other PP600 contender cars in this section of the track. It should be noted that these are race times and the rubber-band catch up could either slow me or speed me up.
I found that I could apply the brakes much later than I expected. I can go on and on about the braking characteristics of the car, but it is easier to sum it up by merely stating, "The NSX brakes like a champ." For those of you with the driving line enabled (I use it when hotlapping), I would highly recommend braking quite a bit later than indicated or you will stop pretty far short of your turn.
Like in almost all of the other Lion's Den tunes, the gearing is spot on for Suzuka. I have no complaints. Shifting up through the gears feels very smooth and consistent. I had good experience with pulling away from other cars on the straights, but the BMW might have a slight edge in top speed. If this is true, you shouldn't worry too much as it shouldn't cost you the race. I am not certain yet as I have not driven it as much. Improper downshifts had ZERO effect on upsetting the car during deceleration or engine braking. This is especially important when entering the hairpin!!! As a matter of fact, I was still hard on the throttle through the beginning of the red colored "initial braking point" (indicated by the visible racing line) before I hit the brakes...and there was still room to spare. Wheelspin is just short of non-existent with the exception of extreme circumstances. I never had the feeling that I would lose control due to gearing.
I participated in 8 online races in this NSX tonight. I am not that great a driver, and it was obvious that I was racing some pretty inexperienced guys, but I won every single race by a landslide...and in a car that I was not very familiar with. In every race, I had to stop and wait at the finish line for the 2nd place driver to finish his run down the back straight and enter the final stretch. I gave the win to everyone I raced tonight, because this car just doesn't feel like I am playing fair! I was taking very conservative lines and never really pushed it hard as I still haven't learned all the "ins and outs" of this car and did not want to make a dumb mistake and wipe out. It will certainly take a bit of track time and some "corner strategy" to fully take advantage of this wonderful car's capabilities. I am really looking forward to getting into a server with some good racers because I would rather lose to some great competition than win without effort.
The only reason I wanted a tune for this car is that I prefer to enter races with cars that I seldom see online whether they are closely competitive or not. I have won a number of races in the Art Morrison Vette and you never see those out there. Generally, the PP600 has a full grid of BMW's, Evo's, Corvettes, Vipers, and the occasional Jag. The reason is that they are all very good and very competitive cars. I see an NSX once and a while, but not that often. After nd 4 holden spd releases this tune to the forums, I fear that there will be a lot more NSX's out there because, folks, this car is a race winner!!!
Nothing but thanks to nd 4 holden spd for another awesome tune. It seems that every time you knock out an awesome tune, you top it with the next car. Once again, you have made me appreciate a car that I car I would not normally drive!

I forgot to add some cons:
1) Why didn't I request this tune a month ago?
2) This car will make you feel like you are cheating.
3) Why didn't I request this car a month ago?
4) R4 tires would rip out the pavement!!! 👍
nd 4 holden spdSorry for the wait. TLD had some shipping issues and the first vehicles for both of you were badlt damaged. We had to get 2 more NSXs and apply the performance parts and settings.
Honda NSX Type-R
(228kw) (328Nm) (1079kg) (600 PP) (Pro Physics)
Description: To infinity and beyond! Easily the fastest car I've driven in 600 PP. Bit harder to drive still though, so haven't made it 100% easy to drive, but easier than before. Have fun both of you.

Review: BMW M3
I totally agree with the reviews from P3nT4gR4m, Dragonistic and Apollo87.
I bought the M3 along time ago and never really got it to do me any favors, I thought to my self "I just can't handle this car, better park it in the garage and move on" - like you do with any girl that you just can't deal with.
But when I read the reviews this tune was getting I just had to take it out for a one last spin, and man was I wrong !! "ONE LAST SPIN, MY A.. !!"
This setup gives you everything you need. Great handling, very good acceleration, great handling, excellent braking, great handling, impressive top speed and yes did I mention great handling ? nd 4 holden spd - What did you do to the handling ? Change my physics back to Standard ?
After a 10-20 laps on Suzuka I was doing power slides just for the fun of it through the S curves my confidence was running so high. No matter how hard you push this beast it just grips and grips and grips, "You want a millimeter more to the right? - No problem"
Finally few quotes I just couldn't have put better myself:
10 / 10
P.S. a little side note. Another car that I have had for a long time and never really got the hang of is the Aston Martin DB9. Since the specs of these cars are quite similar I thought to myself I'd give my DB9 a spin with these settings and it was the best I have ever had with that car as well, bare in mind the tune is of course for the M3 but it does the DB9 a world of justice in my own opinion. At least I'll be driving the DB9 with this tune as well until I see a better one(if there is one), the far best I have tried on the DB9 as well.
So there you have it two cars tuned for the price of one

Thats interesting, because the (as yet) unreleased TLD DB9 has slightly different specs to that M3. I might have to test that and see which is better.
If you're wondering, yes the TLD DB9 is AWESOME!
(Sorry Holden if you didnt want the people to know about the DB9 tune yet, but I couldnt resist after reading this)

Can't wait until this tune becomes public, i jut love the looks of this car, and for the little time I've driven it I think it could be really good with some work in the suspension.
And I don't think that N4HS wanted to keep it a secret as he has talked about the DB9 tune in previous posts.

Now that I have finished A-3, I will go back to driving TLD cars online. First up the M3 and XK - what great reviews for the M3. Kudos to all.
I would like to make a request tune: the Art Morrison Corvette.
I just love the looks and sound of the car but whatever I do to the setup seems to make it worse than the default, so I leave it as it is and just go joy-riding. I would love to see what TLD tuners could do with it.

Yeah we had some great races, you never pushed me not that I noticed, I am just such a rookie online. I can race really well and push my cars quite well offline, in Arcade, or the events but when I go online and see a name above the car I get all worked up, start sweating like a dork and the heart rate rises and I force myself into stupid mistakes because I am so occupied by the cars with names above them all around me. So those times I went into the sand when I was in front of you they were all mistakes by me I was so occupied watching your name and driving !!! I get so nervous and sweaty after racing online I need to take a shower for christ sakes
really need to chill out a little.

Well, what I do most of the time is concentrate more on the track and then on my oponents, because when I focus on someone not getting to pass me and try to go faster I almost always screw up, so I try to do my own thing and then mind the opponents, it's kind of a balance of where your focus is, try not to get so nervous the average racer is not that good and some will get involved in an accident, so as long as you dont make a really really bad mistake you should be able to get a good place.

Hey Holden, I just had a look at the other forums and it seems you're getting popular all over the GT boards, the GT5net guys have linked your BMW M3 when talking about possible cars to use in the upcoming GT board battle.
You're fast becoming the most famous tuning garage out there, so keep up the good work!
Whats next? Your own F1 team when GT5 finally comes out? TLD Grand Prix...sounds cool, lol. Would be especially cool if GT5 allows custom paint jobs, just imagine, TLD sponsored cars,
I think the GT community's future looks very interesting.

Hats off for the Swift tune, much better than mine. That car corners like it on rails, it was immense through the esses at Suzuka and after the bridge at the HSR. For sure the top end speed sucks but I won a couple at Suzuka and even one at the HSR with it. Maybe being small it is harder for the following cars to get a slipstream , because that straight at HSR seems to last forever.
Also took the Lancia out, it felt very underpowered though my laptimes were faster than they seemed. Not sure about it, I will have a few more rides later.
Just before retiring tried the AM 'Vette, but I could not steer it. Went back to QT saw there was lots of PPs to spare so upped the power - still no good, then noticed that I had put S3s on the front
. I think we will have another play tonight.

Wow, never seen so many words in one review! But I read every letter of it
Thanks for making me makes this car. I kept meaning to tune it but always got side-tracted. I hope you guys are keeping tally on the request cars you have PS- Surely some tunes people will find faults with soon, so I can improve them once they are pointed out.
Soon..........now, depends on how generous I'm feeling

After a 10-20 laps on Suzuka I was doing power slides just for the fun of it through the S curves my confidence was running so high. No matter how hard you push this beast it just grips and grips and grips, "You want a millimeter more to the right? - No problem"
Finally few quotes I just couldn't have put better myself:
10 / 10
P.S. a little side note. Another car that I have had for a long time and never really got the hang of is the Aston Martin DB9. Since the specs of these cars are quite similar I thought to myself I'd give my DB9 a spin with these settings and it was the best I have ever had with that car as well, bare in mind the tune is of course for the M3 but it does the DB9 a world of justice in my own opinion. At least I'll be driving the DB9 with this tune as well until I see a better one(if there is one), the far best I have tried on the DB9 as well.
So there you have it two cars tuned for the price of one
Cheers for the review, I'll make some cars soon that will challenge you again, honest.
It's a 630/650PP tune isn't it? I'll release it soon anyway, but there are no races for it yet.
Wow i didn't know you were from GTP, I was actually surprised to see such a good racer on another M3, I suppose you were using TLD's tune, thanks for the great reaces man and I hope I never pushed you or such things I've been having some accidents today
'Atta way, 2 of my tunes going head to head without them realising, both probably thinking- "Damn, he must be a good driver to keep up with this tune in a normal M3."
woah I need a ps3 with GT5P...nice work N4HS...dont forget AT
What the hell is A........oooooohhhhh Aussie Tuners.
As you can see, TLD makes me very busy, and with such a name being generated for TLD I'm thinking of keeping it that way when GT5 arrives.Cheers mate, no worries.
Thanks again, and all from a Holdenboy.
I tuned it for 600PP the other day. This car really needs a 650PP event to shine, as in 600 the engine is so de-tuned the torque curve really sucks, and 700PP+ it is outclassed by Tuned cars, and is very wild with so much power. I'll post up a 650PP version, even though people won't be able to use it yet. Private rooms will come.
Don't know, never try my tunes on other cars as I make a new tune for each car, because no car is the same.
Hey Holden, I just had a look at the other forums and it seems you're getting popular all over the GT boards, the GT5net guys have linked your BMW M3 when talking about possible cars to use in the upcoming GT board battle.
You're fast becoming the most famous tuning garage out there, so keep up the good work!
Whats next? Your own F1 team when GT5 finally comes out? TLD Grand Prix...sounds cool, lol. Would be especially cool if GT5 allows custom paint jobs, just imagine, TLD sponsored cars,
I think the GT community's future looks very interesting.
Whoa really?
I think it's funny they'll be racing against GTP with a GTP member's tune, but they're there for anyone to use. How about my own V8 Supercar team?*Wonders off into dream land with the fairies*I would like to be a TLD sponsored dirver
You are, I pay in vehicle tunes, and you use them so that's kinda like being sponsored by me. All we need is TLD race livery. Is anyone good at photoshops?
PS- I really can't believe the popularity I have obtained in this garage. I'm very flattered by all the comments that keep coming.
Just tried the TLD M3...it almost verges on cheating! It's all been said before in reviews, but just wanated to reiterate how awesome this tune is
Another triumphant tune by TLD. Keep up the good work mate
Cheers again.
You won't be cheating if someone drives my NSX against you.Hats off for the Swift tune, much better than mine. That car corners like it on rails, it was immense through the esses at Suzuka and after the bridge at the HSR. For sure the top end speed sucks but I won a couple at Suzuka and even one at the HSR with it. Maybe being small it is harder for the following cars to get a slipstream
Also took the Lancia out, it felt very underpowered though my laptimes were faster than they seemed. Not sure about it, I will have a few more rides later.
Just before retiring tried the AM 'Vette, but I could not steer it. Went back to QT saw there was lots of PPs to spare so upped the power - still no good, then noticed that I had put S3s on the front
Thanks mate, that Swift is being used in a Garage Showdown agaist 888 Tuning so it had to be very good. The Lancia is a bit slow, thank a horrible torque curve for that.
And now, the NSX that people have whispered of. Let GT5net use the M3, we'll use this NSX hah hah. Oh that would be cheating.
Edit: Thanks WayneGTC. So do many people try my tunes on your board too? Thanks again for the compliment.
