Let us know how you like the setup. It comes thanks to our graphic designer Kevin Keegan.
Hey Joey, we don’t tell you how to take pictures….you know how the rest goes…
Setup kicks ass… tweaked it a bit for my liking and its gnar.
how do you change camber angle? is there something u need to buy?
To adjust camber on Forza 3 you must purchase Race Springs and Dampers from the upgrade shop. You can then adjust them from inside the tune setup menu.
Doesnt work what so ever, thanks for wasting my money , and my time
awwwww u had to spend game money?? i hope you didn’t use ALL your cash… Cause that could take u weeks of racing to earn back. And all those days tuning. I’m going to apologize for the designer of this tuning setup because clearly it has upset you. I hope that this reply has made you feel a bit better about the thousands you spent zac.
If its any consultation I can send you some money.
this is a great base drift setup. Good job!
Im an aspiring drifter from az and can say that i wish it was as easy as menus in real life.
Zac is gay for robots
could you give me a good setup on a mustang gt500 please? i have done it up and did a few tunes off the net but nothing works. any ideas? if it doesnt work will have to steal your tune for a 370z see how that goes.
just wanted to say, this setup works so good on the ferrari california 2000 somthing model, not only on drift but on circut to, thanks a million!! great work
ohh and zac is a cry baby lol and really gay for robots
thanks i just wasted 200,000 on some complete piece of shit thats no better than any other drifting set up. well done dipshit.
XBOX if you didn’t have the money to waist then you shouldn’t have gone on line looking for some random setup in hopes that it would make you kick ass at the game. Guess what the best car in the game isn’t going to teach you how to drift. I think this car is an awesome Drift car for a beginner. So all I’m really trying to say here is that you should probably spend a little more time learning how to play the game and a little less time sitting on a forum crying about how much you suck.
Peace.
Xbox, have you turned off asm and traction controll? IF you use asm the car automaticly brakes when you¨re drifting destroying your drift compleetly
Stability controll* and traction controll
O so u have to turn all that stuff off before I can drift properly
Honestly, having all race parts isn’t that great for drifting. We’re not racing to the finishing line, after all.
So do u have to turn off anti brakes as well
Also if any one has the time can u tell me the buttons your suppose to push when drifting because I always push A but it never works
wayy to much power!
yoooo fucking yo !!!
…ad like 2 say thanks for ur time n that …but heyyy …it worked for mee …think theres a lil something not ryt …or av just not got it yet 
)…al be online soon 2 smoke use!
yea same with me i need to how to drift with my GT 500 its anyoing i need help
HA i know the easy way to get money and it doesnt involve glitching either. you can make an easy 88k just by doing a privite custom race, just make the track sunset speedway put 7 oppenants(hard difficulty) chance their cars to any f,e,or d class,4 teams(make sur ur on ur own team the colors 2 the left of ur name shows ur team, theres Red, yellow, blue, and green)do 25 or more laps for more money, then choose any fast car with good speed and handling for turning also make sure to put on for damage “always off” that you dont crash into other cars and end timer 5 sec. have fun.
Zac….did you turn off all your assists…such as….TRACTION CONTROL?
I’ll try this when I get home. I’ve been drifting a IS-F for a while and want something new. I don’t know why, but I’ve always trouble with the 350z
@SG8 if you A is still e brake don’t touch it while drifting. If you are having trouble setting up for corners you might use e brake to initiate the slide, but in the corner it’s almost all throttle. More to slide the tail wider, less to reel it in.
Also, manual trans is almost a must. Being able to down shift keeps the revs up, which keeps the wheels spinning.
well, first of all, it is possible to drift with any
AWD or RWD as long as the AWD has a differental set on RWD torque. all you have to do is to BALANCE your
accel power cuz ur not supposed to mash the gas on turns cuz for your info, there are over 20 drift techniques that at least has one that can help any car drift
its really easy to drift on any car cuz really, all you have to learn is to initiate the drift, and BALANCE, thats it, the only thing you need to remember for drifting really. i used to drift with a
589Hp Mitsubishi Evo VIII on tskuba in Forza 1 and by just learning to balance accel and the occasional decel, drifting turned into the simplest thing in racing history to me. oh and zac………did you even COUNTERSTEER?!?!?!?!??!!?!
hey guys great set up it must of taken a few hours to perfect thanks for taking the time and sharing it with other drift hopefuls
so yea if your lookoing for a good car to start drifting use the rx7 its a bicth to get it going but when you do it is so easy to countorl and with a little twicking it will be grate but if ou just want a car t make you drifts look crazy use the mins r34 skilyn the things you can do with that car is crazy if i can ill put some vids on youtube for you guys
AWD drift is the way to go…. more control….. Zac turn off all assists but ABS
hi guys,
im kinda new to this and how do i get all of my tune setups off of grey shading because i currently cant edit them
Joshuan. to get the setups off the grey you need to buy particular parts/upgrades to your car.
Thanx for the drift setup. it works awsome. For begginers. i learnt off a 350z which if you tweak it right i found fairly easy but ive been using a evo 10 lately without a dif and that works well. soften the damping and rebound to almost as low as you can go and stiffen the suspension up. works good for me.
Any good drifter is able to drift with a stock setup, the best way to learn is to try something that doesnt work, all my cars have stock setups but i am going to try this onefor shits and giggles.
I used this setup on a chevy #4 C.6 07′ i raised my point almost 30 to fourty thousand
awesome setup! ive raised my ride height front an back and that adds better grip i found, Zac are you a comedian? love the reply tho, cheers pal
Oh I will also add that remember guys its not a race to the finish LINE! fed up of being half a lap behind when sum idiot crosses the line! just thought id add that, oh and also use manual as the computer trys changing gear through a corner which will just mess you up, good luck
killer sweet setup brah. tweaked it a little based on my own driving style but alover beastly for beginner usage. and btw… XBOX… shut the fuck up… and tell ur mom i said hi.
thnx man,and i just bought this game today so im happy with it
nice setup well happy with it
What does Full Engine and Power upgrade… that mean all of them? lol
Hey this is great BUT I feel that AWD is WAY better for drifting with this setup than RWD. RWD sucks balls to me for drifting, try AWD with these TUNINGS and you will love it guarentee. Put torque at 80%.
Awesome setup
costs a lot of money but it’s worth it, i’m still trying to learn how to drift, i love the thought of going sideways
just gotta learn it first though
love this setup tweeked with it abit and now its perfect. If anyone has any drift tune setups add me on sxbox live gamertag is milbro
Great tuning set up beating all my friends in drift battles
hope u get a even better one 
lolol i absolutely love this setup, i did it and showed me mates and they were BLOWN AWAY with the performance of it. cheers for the setup bro good work
I LOVE YOU BEST TUNING SET UP EVAR
What is Springs:F: 665 lb/in R: 735 lb/in, into kgf/mm ?
heyy im just wonderin, do you necesarely have to have around 550bhp-600bhp? because i go all out fully built bhp and i can drift perfectley!? i am currently offline and dont have live now, but before i got kicked out of every lobby because i scored atleast 100,000 or 150,000 points in a race!
can someone send me some money im skint as fuck
@EjokEr You have to have a car with under 650 HP for drift battles according to FMDA / FMDL rules, but for scores and just for fun, you can use whatever you want. I have a 645 HP Mercedes for FMDA / FMDL, and a 991 HP RX-7 for point whoring and stunts and shit. Add me for tunes and designs: iCx Stoner
thank you! i own with this car!
someone maybe wanne raise a drift clan.?
add me: patriot 606
this tune is sick but unfortunately i cant drift lol
does it work on xbox 360
Yeah it does work on xbox 360 add me if you want a drift battle, BXR PhanToMzZ x
by the way i might be making a new clan so message if you want to join
It seeems prettty good, what tracks is this setup best on?
Great tuning setup, iv used this setup on a nissan 370z, it worked great, and i have now used a tweaked version of this setup on a Mazda RX-7, and works even better than it does on the nissan, fantastic, cheers
Damn what a car. Just got into drifting and it takes some cash to make this but its all worth it. Thanks for the setup. I had trouble finding a good one, especially after i used up so much cash on the nissan ns-x gt or something. Couldn’t seem to get it right. But thanks dude
Thanks for the set up. will try this when i,m online. most of the setup i have close but was struggling with the alignment side of things.This should help overcome my setup. need to learn to drift properly now.
Im gettinb pretty good at driftin now but i cant play online cuz i have got my xbox chipped lol so cant do any drift battles sorry
can you elaborate on the exact conversions.. thats tripping me up there are a couple and i dont see the factory motor put anywhere?
thanks very much
Can u do one for the 08 subaru wrx sti i just cant get myne right
would this set up work on a skyline gtr v spec??
Its a good set up.. properly balanced.. it works very well using the hand brake or the clutch kick technique.. its really really good
ryan – your gonna have to do a conversion and make it rear wheel drive, it wont work otherwise
all of these people who r talking shit probably dont know how to drift in the first place……its not just the car dumbasses…you have to drive the damn thing….
ok the set up works but i am a noob to forza i am a ok drifter but i cant clear 70K in a race can any one help me out?
LOVE the setup!!! Really helping me to learn how to drift! I really hope someone comes out with setups for other cars like WRX or Silvia
the spring rate isnt correct or did i do something wrong?i have race suspension but the poundage doesnt go that high
also is the ride height correct?its quite high
cheers
