Hi all, my name is Heather and I’ve spent the last few months participating in rivals and honing my tuning skills. All the times posted in the rivals threads are with my own tunes and you will notice I’m not in 1st place
I have gotten better at tuning and think others may enjoy some of my tunes as well. Any fine friendly forum folk who have had a positive experience with my tunes please feel free to chime in (for those with negative experiences I will be taking that feedback on Junevember 38th )
I have car tunes for this season but I’m not going to list a long line of share codes here. I am asking any generous people out there willing to give a new person a try, to follow me and see if I have any you like. Please keep in mind that the newer tunes are much better than most of my older tunes. Who knew experience was useful?
Thank you for taking the time to read.

*Full disclaimer, I’m not claiming to be the best tuner…but a girl gotta promote herself somehow to get street cred!
I used the Ford Mustang SVO for the trial this week because why not?
I was referring to the danger zone. In the right car it was fairly easy (I went well over the distance in the Jesko) but I tried a Mosler and Diablo first and was about 50m short. Speed zone was straightforward in the Mosler.
For the first time, I’m trying all the championships this week in co-op mode which many recommends.
Went from being miles ahead of the AI to having contend with open shenanigans, had a horror moment when a teammate crashed dead stop at a checkpoint making me miss it and had to rewind to the back on an S2 race.
On the other hand it’s also an eye opener, providing a comparison of using my own tunes against others especially so with single car races like the miata. Of course mistakes are less forgiving against human players just like open.
Doing 1 less race probably isn’t an advantage though having to wait around for the championship.
No worries, i’m in a similar position, trying top get to Legendary Tuner, 10% of the way there so far I’ll give you a follow over the weekend and try a few out. If you can do the same that would be appreciated
I always do coop. I think it is slightly shorter (you don’t have to go and find the next race either don’t forget) and it’s just generally less dull. Sometimes it’s frustrating - I got annoyed in the s2 one as there was a lot of corner bombing in that - but you also get some good races as well.
That’s awesome! I appreciate you giving my tunes a try. I’ve put in some time trying to improve my tuning abilities, so hopefully you will find them suitable!
I’ve followed you as well, as I have found it easier to find tunes and liveries that way. Speaking of liveries…if anyone is into artistic abominations I have some liveries as well
Many thanks. I tend to concentrate on handling when building cars. Will be jumping into Rivals over the weekend too. Must admit, Street Racing is not my favorite genre but looking forward to it
I found the NIO to be a pretty decent against corner bombers and wayward drivers when its an option in the S2 co-op races. It feels so much calmer in that car as the chaos goes on around it.
Gave them a go but I’m in no position to critique since I only use my own tunes for racing.
Lovely tunes on the miata and celica, responsive and easy to handle. None of them had difficulty beating the championships. Nice and easy.
Noticed on sweeping turns F40 has a bit more understeer at higher speeds than I’m used to, again I’m inexperienced using other people’s tunes so it could be the way I drive but it does pull itself in nicely after the initial turn in, so it’s just a minor adjustment to slow down a bit more for the turn in.
Your turns have good grip and handling, I’d say you’re a good tuner already, better than me and my hack jobs with handling.
I was using the Diablo which is essentially meta. I overtook everyone down the straight on the first track but got absolutely destroyed in the slow corner at the end of it as at least two teammates didn’t bother braking. Recovered from near last to lead again and watched the two cars behind me plough into the final tight left, fortunately after I’d already exited a few seconds ahead.
Panoramica was ok until near the end. I overtook the leader clean near the end, only for them to smash into me at one of the difficult corners. In fairness, that one might have been just a lack of course knowledge but it was still fairly annoying.

It’s a lot of fun and helped me tremendously!
