[1] Welcome:
================================================================================

Welcome. This guide will help show some of basics settings on grip tuning! It is 
based to help the difficulty in tuning so, I thought I would write a FAQ!

There is a lot of stuff to be added, FAQ is still under construction. 
This is version 1.9... Thank You!

================================================================================
[2] Grip Setup:
================================================================================

Here is your basic Setup! This works with all kinds of cars! Like FR & MR alike! 

Some examples!

ASL     - Garaiya
Honda   - S2000
Honda   - NSX-R Type R (Any)
Mazda   - RX-7 (Any)
Nissan  - 180 SX (Any)
Renault - Clio V6
Toyota  - Trueno/Sprinter/Levin (Any)
Toyota  - Supra (Any)
Special - Sileighty
Special - Onevia

Lets get started off by using the ASL Garaiya! Its the easiest! Tune with a 
Level 5 NA Engine and leave the Turbo out of it for now. @_*

Tip!: Use Record Challenge Mode to build up that unique Setup! 

It has every part. @_*

Code!: R1+R2+L1+L2 + Down, Left, Up, Right

[3] General Tips: 
================================================================================

- Spring Rate
- Dampers
- Stabalizers
- Toe
- Camber
- Brakes
- Spoiler
- Steering Angle
- TCS
- ABS
- ROM
- LSD
- SP (Engine/Turbo)
                  
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<!UNDER CONSTRUCTION!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

- Dampers: Effects Steering Angle and makes car more aggresive for accerlarating 
  in high speed cornering.

- Stabalizers: De-Stabalizes the brakes Front, Rear and both.

- Toe: Improves conrnering, but will also cause the car not to drive in a 
  straight line.

- Camber: Angles the tires so that more traction can be met during cornering. It
  also will cancel a lot of chassis sway with soft setups. 

- Brakes: Shifts the cars weight. Can you brake after a turn? lol

- Spoiler: Higher value equals more grip to the rear tires. Improves the cars
  cornering ability and will reduce accerlation. Lowering the spoilers angle can 
  improve Time Attack times by several seconds.

- Steering Angle: A higer value will increase steering which is Wide, a lower
  value or negative value will reduce steering which is Narrow. When tuning a FR
  for example, pay attention to what type of front tire you are using. The higher
  grip will add more steering, especially to FR's, Trueno for example.

- TCS: Improves Braking, Turning, and Cornering, will - effect acceleration.

- ABS: A low value will increase Brake power, but lowers the ABS traction. So
  you end up skidding when using the brakes. A high value will reduce traction 
  loss.

- ROM: I listen to the pitch on the gears to find the ROM's setting, on the ROM 
  Settings screen. You can tune it to match a specific gear on the car. 

- SP: If you decided to upgrade say, the NSX-R. You will find you loose a lot of 
  handling. So low SP is better for grip. XD

- LSD: I use them for Medium and Long Courses, Short Courses don't need LSD's.

  1 Way   - Loose Steering
  1.5 Way - In the Middle of the 1 Way and 2
  2 Way   - Tight Steering
  
  The following settings will vary per vehicle!

================================================================================
[4] FAQ:
================================================================================

Question: How do I get all of the parts? Do I have to play the whole game first?

Answer: No! You can use any of these setups! Record Challenge Mode has all of 
the cars and parts free, minus Onevia and Sileighty, which cannot be unlocked.

_____________

Question: Where do I find the Onevia and Sileighty?

Answer: The Used Car Shop! The Used Car Shop generates a new batch of cars for
purchase every couple of days. There are about a total of 10-15, the New Car 
Shop won't ever have to purhcase. 

_____________

Question: What does the Onevia look like?

Answer: A little bit like a Nissan 240 SX.

_____________

Question: What does N/A mean?

Answer: Not Applied! But not, Not Applicable. ;)

_____________

Question: Anything else I should know?

Answer: I'm not sure, but STAY TUNED! Get it? STAY TUNED.

_____________

Question: Does Traction Control effect Cornering?

Answer: It's usally the Damper, not the TCS.
