BiggLou55's "Lou-ne-tunes" Garage

BiggLou55's "Lou-ne-tunes" Garage
Thanks to Wally for the "Lou-ne-Tunes" name and Vinyl...  I LOVE IT!!  and Thanks to Keemo for that kicka$$ Lou-ne-tunes livery on the Clio!  It's in the club garage!

BiggLou55's "Lou-ne-Tunes" Garage primarily provides services for FM4 tuning set-ups for all classes and driving styles....  the only tuning not yet offered is drift tuning.  Please head over to the U2SC Garage thread to see what the others are working on as well.

If you need a special tune, I am happy to create special tunes for you. All you will need to do is post a reply in this thread with the following information (unfortunately I am only doing track tunes - I am working on Drag tuning,  but I have not and probably will not to any drift tuning):

1. Car you need tuned
   
2. Class(es) you need tunes for
   
3. Specific Track or "Type" (top speed, grip, etc.)
   
4. When you need it
   
5. Specific rims to include or to stay away from
   
6. Controller or Wheel
   
7. Any assists that you use full time
   

Tunes currently posted on my SF:
I'm adding stuff pretty regularly, so I'm not going to even try and keep up with what is one my SF here...  check it out in-game, and remember, if there is anything you'd like unlocked, please let me know!

If you need a custom vinyl, I am happy to put one together for you.  At this time, I am only doing non-character stuff (like number plates, license plates, gamer tag logos, etc...).  All you need to do is reply to this thread with what you need in the vinyl and what color scheme you'd prefer.  As far as full liveries go, I am not doing except for my personal use.  I'd be happy to take your suggestions in this thread, and I will post any that I create on my SF, if they are worthy....

Finally, if there is anything on my SF that you would like the unlocked version of, please let me know via Xbox live and I will gift it over.  I may have some stuff up there for a charge, but I am happy to gift any of my stuff to club members for free.  If you do drop my my Storefront and you like what you see, please take a little time and provide some ratings (and honest ratings).

Please remember to rate everything you use for everyone in the club.  We all work hard on tunes, liveries, vinyls and photos.  Rating them is just your way of saying "thanks"...  

Thanks and

Up 2 Speed Customs Club & Garage

We have the talent in Mark, Magic, Jgood, Converge and so on to get really good LB times, and if we also have a tuning/Livery/Vinyl offering.... well you do the math...

We can market our stuff in the FM4 forums and ensure that we tag all of our comment lines with U2SC. If we get a good enough rep going in the FM4 community, we could all stand to make a decent amount of credits...

Thoughts?

Kind of like how APEX designs puts their name on everything. If we could get a couple great liveries out there, I bet we could make a ton of CR off it. Great idea Lou

I guess I'm one of those "in the middle" guys, no tuning, painting or driving talent lol. I could try LB stuff, but never given it a shot really. Maybe I can eventually join the likes of you guys with the tuning and finally chip in a little bit to the club.

You'll get there Cash... When I joined in Feb, I couldn't tune my way out of a wet paper bag... Frank actually built the base tune for my Feb Series Lancia... BUT... that got me started... I still can't tune, but I have learned how to fool everyone!

Haha you know how so stop being so damn humble! lol. I know I'll get there, I already feel a little more confident since I fully understand the tire pressure, heat and camber effects and what they should be. My next biggest thing is understanding how to mess with the ARBs.

ARB's are at the core of your tune... There is definitely a "sweet" spot in the front/rear balance and stiffness zone for each... The only way to find it is to play with it and not be scared to screw it up...

lol yup, epsecially because I know I will lol. I just wanna get to the point to where I can feel what's going on and have an at least OK idea of how to make it better. I need to get that calculator first lol.

Here's a request if you're up for it: E Class Alfa Montreal (general lobby tune)

I did a basic tune using the ios tuner but I think I need to see what someone else does from there in order to learn. My version handles pretty well but there's a tiny bit of oversteer that could ironed out of it. I'll be happy to gift it to you if you don't have the car.

Thanks!

Will do... I will send it over when it's done... I actually have one sitting in my garage, and just haven't got around to tuning it!

My first two official Tuning offerings are up on my SF... The Corvair Monza "Stinger" B-Class (10k) tune and the Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe A-Class (25k) (same tune I ran last night on Road Atlanta - Replay is on my SF)

All club members are welcome to any of my tunes for free, all I ask in return is that you rate them when and if they go up on my SF! We should actually be doing this for all of our club members!

I just sent you my tweaked tune. That would probably be very helpful, seeing what settings you come up with using the same upgrades. It would be just as beneficial seeing what upgrades you chose too, of course. Thanks again!

Thanks for the tunes for the Miata and the Viper, they're both great ! I still have to update the miata I put in the club garage with your tune, but I will get to that soon.

You are very welcome!! Let me know if either need adjusting!

Alright Xray... I sent you the E-Class Alfa last night.... I was able to run a 0:01:08.061 on Iberian Full (top E-class time for the Club on that track/config). I sent you a tuned and painted car so that you can compare. I've also shared it in the club garage (I really like this as a E-Class lobby car...)

Is anyone interested in a S-Class 2008 ZR-1 tune? You might be suprised!!!

I'll encourage everyone to buy and rate the tunes from lou. they are all really good tunes, he deserves the credit for this (and all of the other work he puts into the club), and most importantly, it would be cool to see some of his tunes in the 'most popular' or highest rated categories of the auction house.

Thank you Southern!

My The S-Class 2008 Corvette ZR-1 will be up tonight. Just as an FYI, I tuned up to S700 with and without Race Aero, and the one W/O was much better. I will put both up and you decide....

bitchin, i'll be taking that for a spin around silverstone tonight to try and win one of hot dog's vinyls.

Sounds good, I'd love to try it out!

Updated the tune lists in the Original Post (OP)...

I see that you sent me a shelby daytona coupe, do you want me to test it for you or was it meant for someone else (to be honest, I don't remember asking for anything with the daytona)? If you want me to test it, I would be more than happy to do it

It's yours... I was feeling generous!

It's got my Sedona Oval tune on it... You were so amazed at my lap times, I figured I'd send you it to play with...

BTW.. The Livery is by Keemoschauby!

Thanks lou! Its so tough to find a cheap one in the Auction house because it costs 5 million to get it from the buy cars menu. I can't wait to see if I can beat yor lap time at the oval in it

By the way, the livery looks amazing on it (I only got to see it in my mailbox at the fm4 forums, but it looked great)
