I love Hondas. I admit it. IMHO they are the best cars you a person can buy for the money. I think everyone should own one (or in this case, 5 LOL) [:D]

I've not made it a big secret that lately I haven't been playing Forza much lately, and I've seriously been toying with the idea of "retiring" from the game and the forums... BUT over the last couple of days, I've been "bitten by the bug" to steal a phrase from my good friend Junismo... and here are the results of my latest tinkerings, free for all! Enjoy, and feedback is appreciated (the good, and the bad.)

D400 CRX:

Engine: All Stock
Handling and Platform: All race except Stock weight reduction.
Tires and Wheels: BFG SPORT Tires, Full Width, 17" Enkei RP-F1 (Motegi Trak Lite, Volk CN28 or TE37, Work Equip 03)

29f/31r

Gears:

FD: 4.45
1st: 3.13
2nd: 2.06
3rd: 1.52
4th: 1.22
5th: 1.08
6th: 0.98

Alignment:

Camber: -1.0/-0.7
Toe: +0.3/-0.1
Caster: 4.7

Anti-Roll Bars:

4.27/35.10

Springs:

207.4/192.2
Ride Height: 7.2/7.3

Damping:

Rebound: 8.0/5.5
Bump: 5.5/4.0

Aero:

65/70

Braking:

49/109 (adjust to suit)

Differential:

25/2

Notes: Fun, All around tune. Not going to be a leaderboard scorcher, but will hold its own against the VW's on most tracks.

===================================================================

C550 Del Sol:

Engine: Street Block
Handling and Platform: All race
Tires and Wheels: Firestone Race Slicks, Full Width, 17" Volk SE37K rims

28f/29r

Gears:

FD: 4.75
1st: 3.03
2nd: 2.01

Aero:

Braking:

49/109 (adjust to suit)

Differential:

Notes: Specifically tuned for Laguna Seca, but does well at most grip tracks. Low power and low weight does not equal high speeds, but does equate to very good handling! I got very close to a PB at Mugello Short as well as Laguna Seca.

===================================================================

B700 Civic Type R (2004)

Engine: Race Exhaust
Handling and Platform: All race.
Tires and Wheels: Avon Slicks, Full Width, 18" Enkei RP-F1 (Motegi Trak Lite, Volk CN28 or TE37, Work Equip 03)

3rd: 1.48
4th: 1.14
5th: 1.00

Aero:

100/100

Braking:

49/109 (adjust to suit)

Differential:

28/0

Notes: Like the CRX, a fun, all around tune. Especially likes Suzuka West, Mugello, and Maple Valley. Very good on Road Atlanta short too! Probably won't set any top times, but a fun alternative to the Mugen [:D]

===================================================================

A850 S2000:

Engine: Race Intake, Race Exhaust, Sport Block
Handling and Platform: All race except Street Driveline.
Tires and Wheels: Yokohama Race Slicks, Full Width, 18" Fikse Mach V Rims
Aero: Forza Front Bumper, Rear Wing, and Rear Bumper, Top Secret Hood

Tuning:

Tire Pressure:

29f/28r

Gears:

FD: 4.00
1st: 3.01
2nd: 2.08
3rd: 1.60
4th: 1.30
5th: 1.15
6th: 1.03

Alignment:

Camber: -1.0/-0.8
Toe: +0.4/-0.1
Caster: 5.7

Anti-Roll Bars:

13.00/9.50

Springs:

283.5/226.2
Ride Height: 5.1/5.2

Damping:

Rebound: 7.0/10.0
Bump: 3.0/3.5

Aero:

125/150

Braking:

49/109 (adjust to suit)

Differential:

25/30

Notes: I tuned this one just to be able to crank up the volume and listen to it. I use Turtle Beach Headphones while playing on the Xbox, and as far as I'm concerned there is NO better sounding car in the game. Its best suited to the medium length tracks like Mugello, both Road Atlantas, and the 2 longer Suzukas. But, I've found myself using it at just about every track I go to just to listen to it. Pure audio bliss!

===================================================================

S998 Mugen Integra:

Engine: AWD Powertrain Swap (DO THIS FIRST!) Race Intake, Exhaust, Ignition, Fuel, Cams, Block, Intercooler, Turbo

192/268

Braking:

49/109 (adjust to suit)

Differential:

Front: 20/0
Rear: 25/10
Center: 40/60

Notes: What can I say??? Its different. Great short track car (I was within .3xx of a PB at Laguna Seca during testing). This car really surprised me. I didn't expect it to turn out as well as it did.

===================================================================

As I've said in the notes for each car, these cars will most likely not be setting a whole lot of top 100 times. Anything is possible though, right?! LOL

And besides... they're FREE!
