Is it cheating to buy a tune on the storefront, or is it common place? Looking at my friends list, i'm normally down near the bottom in leader board times. I bought a Lotus 2/11 (?), and an A600 tune, as well as a lovely JPS paint job, and got within around a second of the fastest time within my friend list, and 8000 ish out of 1.5 million in the overall list on Camino. Should I man up, and learn how to tune myself, or is this what most people do?

If you can get the basics always try and tune yourself, although I do a very good line in tunes to order 
but then theres a 50/50 chance that any tune you buy may not match your driving 'style'.
Although mine are quite neutral, my E275 Fiat 500 has top 100 leaderboarded since it was built, a few of my others are equally sucessful, D350 Audi A4, my problem is I'm a crap driver, so always needs someone else to LB them.

There's at least one website, and iPhone (and possibly other phone) apps that give you basic tune settings if you put in the weight, tyre size, drive config etc of a car. This is what I've generally used and they usually give you a better car to drive. I say usually because I don't seem to get on well with RWD cars on my controller, and on AWD cars I tend to back off from the RWD bias a little and make it closer to 50/50.

I liked the fiesta tune I got from you. but then theres a 50/50 chance that any tune you buy may not match your driving 'style'.Although mine are quite neutral, my E275 Fiat 500 has top 100 leaderboarded since it was built, a few of my others are equally sucessful, D350 Audi A4, my problem is I'm a crap driver, so always needs someone else to LB them.
Tunes to order? Hmmm. I signed up to this:
British car championship
Would it be cheating to pay for a setup for my XFR?
I'm not great at setting up cars, but over the course of the PH timetrial challenge, I scored two top 15 times on the leaderboard with Storefront tunes (When set, both were 11th on the LB). No way I could have done that with my own set ups.
The problem is knowing which tunes are good/bad. And slightly dishonest sellers. I know that given a good setup I can be right at the sharp end of the Boards. But for several tracks, I used set ups from the leaderboard from people in the top 10. One clan in particular. The storefronts tunes are advertised as the same as those used for the top times, yet in spite of 100laps trying, I couldn't get within 2 seconds of them. Sometimes that was still top 100, but exactly the same tune as they used? Hmmmmm, not sure. I suspect they set the time, detuned them slightly to ensure they wouldn't be beaten with their own tunes, then storefronted them.
'tunes to order' prices are very much dependant on what car they are for ie if you want a Cobra Daytona I would sell the car I bought after the tune tuned.
Most of the time they will be cost + 50,000cr (my standard storefront price) although I'm open to special offers subject to make / model.
Andy I have a A600 tune already for the XF, have them listed on the AH in either Essex Police livery (one of the highest rated storefront liveries for the car) or HSBC livery, painted and tuned for 300,000cr

The only tune I have bought which is simple amazing is the Viper one, which becomes a 4WD 100bhp monster.
A real monster then!Ive used Fuerdogs tune calculator in the past, Ive found it a pretty darn good base which can be tweaked upon. At one point my Fiat 500 was top 50 on the LB for Silverstone National.
Ive also got his Forza tune iphone app, but find the cars to be too stiff using it and reverted back to the old method o fhis using his tuning calculator, you can get the how to off the Porza forums in either list or an excel spreadsheet form.

911 gt3 rs. S class. I can send the car to you. I've done pretty well with what tune i've put on it, there is just a hint of understeer i can't get rid of.
