AWDA on Hiatus... again
Not only is it the holiday season, but my TV seems to have officially kicked the bucket... I guess I know what I'm getting myself for Christmas.

Most importantly
It has come to my attention that my ballast locations may be wrong! It seems I have added a - sign when there perhaps shouldn't have been. I'll take the time to edit in the changes over the next month.
This month the MX-5 setup was updated (it had been one of the last cars I'd tuned with the controler and not the wheel) and it now has optional powers designed to meet different specifications. While listing the different specs I typed up the tires as "R3" thinking that the game called them "road tires" but I'd forgotten they're listed as "N3" so I used photoshop to quite quickly edit the tables.
I went crazy with the photos for the 300ZX. That car is just so easy to slide around a track. Instead of taking up lost of room on the post itself (like on the Miata) I decided I'd try changing up the format a bit and having a "photo dump" so that the post wasn't so cluttered.
In RL news I got new wheels for my car and am selling two of the old ones.

AWDA on Hiatus
I will still be posting the setup for the MkII MR2 Turbo as soon as judging results are in at GTP; however, I'm returning to racing in real life and have spend most of this month preparing for my first race this weekend. Because of this I've sadly had pretty much no time to spend playing with GT4. I hope to be back in action with the game soon enough.

AWDA Monthly June '09
A lot has happened this month. I've started writing reviews for MFT, and I've entered a Toyota MR2 GT-S (name the AWDA MR2 Turbo) into TCv5 Battle Motegi. Judging for TCv5 will begin this coming month, and I will post the setup for the AWDA (MkII) MR2 Turbo after the results from TCv5 are in. Building this car took a lot of time out of this month that I had planned on spending developing other things, but I'm not going to worry about that. This month the Honda Integra Touring Car was replaced by the Honda Accord Euro-R. No other updates were made. AWDA was working on an update of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, but that project has been axed, so the Aston is no longer available.
A lot of things came up later in this month that kept me away from the game, and such needs in my personal life will probably continue to do so for the next two weeks or so. I didn't get two cars posted this month that I had planned and I image that I'll probably get them posted along with the MR2 and a race car this coming month.

AWDA Monthly: May 2009
First off:
I am finished updating all of the gearboxes but the ones that I decided didn't need to be updated or the ones that I couldn't get the cars for at the moment. So a few days and a couple million Cr. later AWDA is back in business.
These cars have been updated:
Hyundai Coupe FX
Mitsubishi FTO GP V.R
Nissan Skyline Sedan 350GT-8
AWDA Monthly:
Now that school is out and I have more free time I've been getting more involved with AWDA. For example I've started writing little descriptive paragraphs to go along with the setups, and been focusing on cutting costs. At the same time I've grown tired of working on the photos like I used to. I don't take photos in photo mode and edit them anymore. It was a lot of work and it did produce some nice images, but I have better things to do with my time.
This month was dedicated to research on gearing, and next month is going to be dedicated to FWD tech--though we will still be releasing 3 RWD vehicles. Among other things I will now be posting news about AWDA monthly which will include updated setups. As always our new cars will stick to our motto "Not as fast as possible, as competeitive as possible." MFT tunes cars to be as fast as possible, but I enjoy the competition, not just the speed. Looks like AWDA has a good future in GT4 since GT5 is still being delayed.

Last Setups...
As the days get longer, my days left here in Northern Europe grow shorter. I'll miss living here, but at the same time it will be nice to be in the States. This means too that I wont have a copy of GT4 to play, and at this point I might just wait for GT5 to come out, so I figure it is time to post the last three setups of GT4. I wanted to post cars that aren't just good cars, but astounding ones. For these last 3 setups I wanted to post the best RWD, FWD, and AWD, car I could get, and I mean the very best, and I have all three cars ready...
I didn't come to my decision easily. While I had a clear choice in my mind for AWD, I had three cars in mind for RWD. The Cadillac Cien, Pagani Zonda, and the ___ ____. The Cien and Zonda are both very interesting cars in very different ways. The American Cien has an engine that seems like it should be from Italy; while the Italian Zonda has a German engine that seems like it should be from America. The Zonda's Merk engine, with it's best power around 6,000rpm, does have it's advantages however. You needn't down shift so often with the Zonda, and because of it's torque and power curve it can be geared to have a short first 5 gears for acceleration, and still have plenty of torque for a longer 6th gear. The Zonda was a close second to the car I ended up choosing, and the Cien a close 3rd. I think the Cien was actually much better then the Zonda, but the Cien being a concept car was in a way disqualified. The Cien has a great engine, and is wonderful to drive, but I am more pleased by the amount of work that went into making the Zonda as good as the Cien. So what car could possibly be better then a Cadillac Cien, or Pagani Zonda? Find out come the 25th, in the mean time check out the Zonda, and Cien setups in the GT4 setups blog.
Kaid~
I'm also going to go through all my old setups and enter the information into my new posting format so they will be easier to understand, I may also update some of them while I am doing this. Any setups with major changes will be listed with "(update)" after the name of the car, while most of the cars may have minor changes to the setups.
