This is my Garage, Ill post various set ups here as Demo cars for My Real World Style Tuning. These cars are all tuned for zero assist and using the tuning techniques I go over in my various threads on tuning. I will put up examples of my tuning tools at work, and I plan to post videos showing how I use my tuning tools to demonstrate what they can do for tuners.
Unlike many if not most tuning garages for Gran Turismo, these cars are NOT tuned to be the absolute fastest cars possible, my cars are tuned to feel as real as possible within the limitations of GT6 and a Console Game. They are tuned with no assist and using real world tuning principles and practices. Cars built with ABS-1 to go as fast as possible throw real world tuning out the window in favor of glitch/exploit tuning, anything to go faster. While ABS can be used to simply make driving a bit easier, it can also be used to run unrealistic settings in unrealistic ways. Those are Alien Space Ships with Alien Drivers, my cars emphasize on the Simulation aspect while Alien Cars go for Arcade all the way while "saying" SiM.
Please do not post set ups in here, although you can post request for cars you would like me to tune.
In this section I will highlight cars in GT6 that need no tuning at all. Cars that drive so great out the box its almost a shame to touch anything, and the real world character is captured in the game remarkably. These are not cars that just handle good stock. These are cars that behave as the real cars do and so driving them can give a great experience to the user.

NOTICE
Please do not post set ups in here, although you can post request for cars you would like me to tune. I would appreciate if people do not post set ups in here as this is my Garage for showcasing my set ups.
I'm not sure what to put up, I got a bunch of stuff I'm working on, but I'm not sure what people want. I have from Diablos to Eighty-Six just needing that last bit of love but I want to post a car people want to drive.
If you haven't already, try the Countache, its a great car for Sierra or Track TT, sniffs the Heals of my CSL and that car is quick.
Working on a Ford Focus ST 2013, the car just handles so well stock, unbelievable how this car likes to rotate and almost doesn't feel like its Front Wheel Drive. No it doesn't kick the tail out for a power drift, but you can kick out the tail to sorta drift out of corners from apex on throttle very aggressively and the car doesn't drive like an understeering pig. The car is just so predictable, and under steer, where the heck is the under steer? This is a front wheel drive car that doesn't have dreaded FF under steer at all, the thing rotates incredibly, way more then you expect, and it takes a few lap just to get the feel for how much rotation you can ask from the car, the chassis delivers grip and rotation where FF cars usually plow straight off the road. When you think you need to back off the throttle to get more rotation, turn the wheel more give more throttle and the car just rotates. It's unbelievable.
It's very easy to ruin this character and incredible handling by jacking up power, cutting all kinds of weight then tuning it into just another FF with generic suspension, tranny, and differential tuning. I've spent about a week pushing the stock car using my Focus Transmission Fix Gear Set to run Sport Mode full time getting the feel for the character, the feel I don't want to lose. I carefully increased power and dropped weight progressively while continuously going more tuned on the suspension until I got to where any more power or any less weight will unbalance the performance and character of the car. Over the last few days I've been dialing in the suspension slowly to make sure everything is working to improve upon the handling I like while getting the car around the track faster.
The car is so good I could release it now and I wouldn't feel as if I missed anything, but even still I'm taking a few more days to refine the car even more just because the car deserves it. ATM I run 40min sessions without noticing and when I exit the lap, take my hands off the wheel, There is nothing I want to change, I'm tuning in the wheel angles for tire wear and overall performance longevity.
So soon coming will be a Ford Focus ST that just put a smile on my face. This Hot 5 Door Hatch front wheel drive turbo car doesn't drive like a 5 door turbo front wheel drive car at all even stock, I've held onto that character wile making the car so much faster.
If your at all interested in this car or tune when released, I highly recommend buying one, leaving it stock aside from buying some Sports Tire and spend a few days just enjoying this excellent car that is so incredibly we'll recreated in GT6, they really got this car right.
For over 35 years she has been racing AutoCross and she wins. She wins more than most who get into AutoCross, she is an 11 time SCCA Solo National Champion in Several Classes. Shes not a good driver for a chick, She is a great driver period. This woman has been Kicking Ass and taking names for years and if shes at the event, your fighting for second place. After racing many different classes from FWD to rear she started putting together a second gen Camaro & racing it, some years latter Mary's Active AutoCross car has a show car level build quality and more track cred than any car at any show it goes to.
The Car is Notorious & when Kaz seen and heard about it he understood, he recognized Mary Pozzi's Camaro Rally Sport is what GT at its core is all about. He awarded Mary's Camaro Rally Sport the Gran Turismo Award and blessed the world with a digital version of Mary's Masterpiece.
Mary as Awesome as she is Named her Garage in GT6 Pozzi Motor Sports, if you didnt catch the word play its PMS
Don't worry about tuning the car, Mary Tuned it for you & right from Her Shop the car comes perfect. She left the TCS on 5 so you can get used to the power, I turned it off as soon as mine was delivered then right off to a Track Day event without touching anything else. I wouldn't touch a thing. As of 1.15 the car is just perfect right out the box.
Here are some Videos of Mary Pozzi and her Camaro Rally Sport in action
If you have not given this car a drive yet, its worth every cent. Ive been loving the car since release, It and the Red Devil have been 2 of my favorite cars in GT6, Im so Glad Kaz has an eye for cars like them.
The capture card came quick, I think I ordered it Friday and it came today. Amazon.ca hooked me up. The card is a ExpressCard 1080p Capture Card for HDMI from Startech.com It works as it should, plug my PS3 HDMI out into the LapTop via Capture card in ExpressCard slot, run software and presto PS3 on the laptop in full 1080p.
HOWEVER
The PS3 has HDCP so when I hit the record button I get a HDCP error.
To solve the HDCP error I have ordered a SEWELL HDMI splitter (Specific 1.3b model) This will split the signal into 2 HDMI outs and at the same time remove the HDCP, so I will have one out plugged into the TV and the other into the Laptop.
I can still use my screen capture software for recording the video on the laptop in the mean time but having to add sound after seems a bit tedious when Ill have it set up right in a few days.

I have some plans for some cool videos when I get it all set up
Ahhh. The famous HDMI splitter to get rid of HDCP. Serves well here, too
What's holding you back to also record audio with that card? Did you already tell the PS3 to output sound via HDMI (even when using as an additional output)?

Oh, I have to do that, lol nope, I just figured the HDCP was blocking the sound. I honestly just pulled it out the back of my Surround System and plugged it into the Capture card directly. I thought it was okay, but as soon as I hit record, HDCP error lol
I figure I go to video/audio output and redo the lil test thingie that lets me choose 1080p or 720p etc then it does the audio thingie after with the HDMI cable, or do I got to click some special settings also?
Yeah, getting the splitter from Amazon.ca too so hopefully its here this week. didn't know about HDCP until after I got the capture card, its been a while, last time I had a capture card was GT and it was part of my graphics card, had a Composite, S-Video and cable jack right on the back of the tower.
EDIT
No luck, I redid the audio test, then set multioutput on, and still no sound, I hope the splitter solves tis issue, and actually works in getting around HDCP or I spent all this loot for nothing.
here is a demo of the video playing on the laptop, recorded with the screen grab software (third party) then I separately recorded the sound and added it in, saved the video, then edited in the title, credits and music track.
What a pain, I hope it gets sorted that was a lot of messing around and not top quality.
Yeah, it was just a guess with Audio. As I knew about HDCP before I ordererd my capture device, I also ordererd a "HDCP removing splitter".
How come I can see your mousepointer? I really wonder how this can be achieved
Oops lol gotta move it lol, next time should be recording the feed vs recording the screen lol it was a pain to get the sound lined up, so I'm eager to try it after I get the SEWELL splitter.
I'm going to make a few videos when I get it all set up.
