Forza 3 has been announced! Introuduced by a spectacular debut at the Microsoft press conference during E3, Forza 3 looks to set the bar once again. The car's looking amazing. The attention to detail is there. You can plainly see that. With a promise of Drag, Oval and drift tracks the fun looks like it will never end after launch. Alot of attention went into the new in-car view. There are so many features I cannot possibly list them all. Please check out www.forzamotorsport.net for more information.
What this means for the garage though is this...work. With over 400 new cars to add it looks like the first few days are going to be very busy. It looks like a new PI system has been put into place. Tuning is going to become a more important part of this game. A good tune will make a larger impact than it does now. I'm very excited about all of this.
Thats all I have for today guys. If you haven't already checked the Catalog out please give her a look over. All the cars will be available to you 24/7 on the Auction House. There are some great cars there so please check it out. Thanks guys. therat1989
Hello fellow Forza enthusiasts. We here at Forzagarage have been extremely busy with Forza the last 2 weeks. Between releasing a new car pack,entering contests,coding the site and selling cars me, Freelancersam and W C sinn have put in around 4-6hrs a day of work on Forza. But the work is going to pay off. :) We would like to introduce everyone to the Forzagarage Catalog. In the catalog you will find 3 different sections. Let me explain what the 3 different sections are.
Release cars These are cars that the garage has released to the public in the past few months. Examples are the Modern Muscle pack and the Supercar pack. We never want to put a release car on the shelf so we will make these cars available to everyone 24/7 via the Auction House. If a car happens to not be up please contact either therat89, W C Sinn, USMC 2111 LSG or quad454 and we will put a car up for you as soon as possible.
Catalog Cars These are cars that we have paints and tunes for but do not see fit to release to the Tuning Marketplace. These are still great cars and a few of the cars are real gems to have.
Specialty Cars This is a special section for Drag or Speedway tuned cars. As of now we only have the new unlimited Komodo Draggin but we will soon fill this section with Nascar themed paints ,so keep your eyes peeled.
That is all the news I have this week. We are working out a few minor bugs with the site and will be sure to have some updates for you next week. Everyone enjoy your week and hope to see you all on Forza.
I figured I would start closing every news post with a few pictures of things I have either tuned or bought the last week. So enjoy these few pics.
Hello everybody. Sorry there hasn't been an update for a while. Real life has kept both me and FreelancerSam busy. Now onto business. The latest release car from the Forzagarage team. (me and W C Sinn) The A class BMW M3 E46. I was tuning this car for a competition involving Mercedes and BMW rear wheel drive cars. The LiquiMolli BMW is a fantastic online racer. Extremely easy to drive and very fast around mid to high speed corners. The consistency of this thing is amazing and the levels of grip it generates is fantastic. For more info visit the link here. forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/ShowThread.aspx?PostID=2548918#2548918
Official Sellers: therat89, W C Sinn, quad454, FreelancerBob for 500,000cr.
Enjoy the car everyone.
The next Forza game may be just over the horizon. Turn 10 is holding an online HLC around Sebring International from May 15th until May 20th. The top 9 drivers will be sent to New York City to compete for the grand prize of 20,000 dollars. Also they will be given the chance to paly T10's "Next Big Thing". One can only assume it is Forza 3 and with this all happening within the next 3 weeks I'm sure we wil have plenty of Forza news for you. Well thats all from me today. For more info regarding this Tournament click the link below. I hope you all have a great week and for all of you that purchase a BMW. I thank you and I hope you enjoy the car. forzamotorsport.net/news/announcements/live_challenge.htm
Well folks, the day has come. I am proud to present you with ForzaGarage's Modern Muscle Car Pack. Preview trailer after the break. The pack comes with your choice of a Mustang Cobra or a Camaro SS tuned by therat1989 and paint by WC Sinn. "The liveries are pretty much dead on replicas of the FIA GT4 European champion team, the originals were Mustang GTs, so a few modifications have been made to allow for differences in body shape." said WC Sinn when questioned about the paints. The cars are 850 A Class and tuned to be a match set. The Mustang is slightly more nimble in the corners but the Camaro is a bit faster on the straights. There will certainly be some epic races with these two cars.
Release Date Friday April 10th at 5pm Eastern time
We look forward to your feedback on this car pack.
Alright...I have an excuse for the lack of an update for last week. I had to take a business trip up to Pennsylvania and the update was just the last thing on my mind. The road seemed more important to focus on :p. Anyway therat1989 has been at it again folks! He has out done himself once again with his new drag car. This car, unlike his forzagarage release cars, is a drag tuned limited release 300zx he fondly calls The Kamodo Draggin'. The car is tuned for the Nurburgring straight with a top speed of 245! With not one bit of wheel spin off the line. Now this car has been limited to 10 releases, five of which are being released tonight. So if any of you want the limited edition Kamodo Draggin' tuned and painted by therat1989 you better catch the final five out on the auction house tonight and on Friday. The car is going up for 1 million starting bid with a 5 million buy out. Preview Trailer after the break.
Hello fellow tuners! A few of you may have been wondering why this weeks update was not put up on Wednesday, the reason why it wasn't was I was busy changing everything over to our new host. You will be happy to see no lagg and page load times have drastically decreased. Hurray!
New Premium Car
The newest ForzaGarage Premium car is almost here! I am pleased to show you the S998 Porsche Boxster:
This car was tuned by ForzaGarage's own therat1989 and the paint was designed by W C Sinn. So you know without a doubt you're going to enjoy this little piece of heaven. Another nice option for this car is it is available in any color you wish! As long as it is either black or white :p.
Release Date Wednesday March 11th at 10pm Eastern time
We look forward to all of your feedback for this amazing car.
Well, while the lagg has subsided a bit I shall update everyone on what has been going on here at ForzaGarage. The big thing you may notice is that the Chat link in the navigation bar has vanished. Gasp! No more chat! Not exactly, we have decided that the new chat idea was great for our server load but was not the best choice for all of you. So we have went back to our old chat style. You must be logged in to use it and it will appear in your footer bar as a nice pretty icon. click the icon and the chat will fade into view in a lightbox. Whenever you have the chat "minimized" any new messages will be notified to you through a red badge on the chat icon with the number of unread messages inside the badge. Pretty nifty eh? Another thing you may or may not notice is that we now have an RSS feed. Currently it only holds the latest news for the website but in the future will hold the latest user tunes and premium tunes as well.
There has also been a great deal of bug fixes. Some having to do with the forums otherwise with the login system, most of which has been with the new chatting system. Though I am not going to bore you with the details...just enjoy the new feature and more stable website.
Many of you are probably wondering why the website has not been loading...or taking around five minutes per page to load. The answer to that question is this...our host is working on their database server...so any page that has to get information from our database would take ages to load for that reason. If you have any other questions please feel free to email me.
Also, I will be posting a weekly update every Wednesday from now on. So check back with us :D
What does the future hold? Well I can't answer that for you but I do know what's in store for Forzagarage. The Premium Tunes section will be added soon. Here's a quick explanation of what a Premium Tune is www.forzagarage.com/forums/events/premium-tunes/2376-premium-tunes-explained/ In the near future we will be hosting some Tournaments and mini-series of races. But in order to do all this we need your help. Check out the forums and post some comments. Meet new people and interact with your fellow Forza enthusiast. We have many sections and are positive you can find at least one section that suits you. Whether it be Photomode,racing,tuning or even real life cars. So give the forums a shot guys. We need you.
After around 10 days of solid coding...I have finished the website! I hope you enjoy it. Everything is functioning correctly and load times for pages have been greatly reduced. The chat as you can see has been moved to its own page. We're now using a java based chat client to connect to an IRC server.
We are also now hiring forum and tune moderators, so if you would like to a part of ForzaGarage and helps us with weeding out all the mean and evil stuff that some people do please send either me or therat1989 a message.
An issue came up with some of the already submitted tunes during the transfer. On the old site we used a different kind of encryption that had to be unencrypted and re-encrypted on this site for the tunes to be available. During this process around 50 of the tunes became corrupt and could not be recovered. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Upon a user resubmitting one of their tunes that had been corrupted and finding that it was still corrupt after the resubmission, I took it upon myself to fix this issue. I believe that the issue has been resolved and no further tune corruptions will take place. I also was able to recover the otherwise unrecoverable tunes that were previously removed.
Also any bugs you may find or features you would like to see please put those in a reply to this post. Thank you all and have a splendid day!
Alright everyone here is a list of some of the new additions the site will have by the end of January. I also need your help in the new design. I need a professional Forza painter to step up and design a new design for the website and the new themed cars.More details on this later just PM me. Alright onto the list.
The good- Faster loading times for all pages Search Bar *Much better forums *Easier setup finding *New type of ranking system *Must post a certain number of times to post setups.(I'm tired of people coming again and posting blank setups or people posting a setup saying something like, "This is the best setup ever please try my car it's the best". *Photo Gallery and video gallery in the new forums *and a few other small things
-the bad *the chat box is take to a separate page and you will have to load it separately. The chat box staying at the top of every page is eating up bandwidth. A huge amount of data is being used because of it. But the chat box will be used less thanks to a the new and improved forums. *All the current Forum posts will be erased. We had to do this because it would be a pain to have to copy every post manually.
So there you go. Everyone have a merry christmas and a happy new year and please if anyone of you is a pro painter let me know. or of you know one that can do the design unlocked for me let me know also. Thanks everyone! therat1989
The Holiday's are upon us and Forzagarage has some presents for you! Very small present's but they add up to being a big deal. As promised earlier we will be adding all car's not currently on the roster and a "Drag" tunes tab. Some of the design and small bugs will be fixed as well. With Finals coming up and school ending soon we can work harder to deliver you a better website. There will be some other goodies that will be released but you'll have to wait to see those. I promise they will be good. Have a great Holiday season everyone! -therat1989
Hello everyone. I've noticed we've lost some members and gained some new ones. Hopefully with the new addition's coming to the site as well as the tournaments that are about to begin we will begin to grow into a truly great community of Forza tuners,racers and players.
At this link you will find some drag tunes offered by me for sale in the hopes of getting more people interested in the garage. Already I have sold 5 car's with each person asking about the website. We will be sponsoring a Drag Racing Tournament in the next month with 1st place receiving a very nice prize.(Credit's and a Free Viper!) Also at that link you will be able to see the ForzaGarage paint scheme. If anybody would like a copy of the paint scheme you can send me a car and I will apply it to your car for free to the first 5 people. After that I will have to charge you 50,000cr for the paint job. So come get them while they are free!
*Future Update's* -All DLC car's will be added including the S204,S281E,and the Challenge Stradale. -All race car's will be added with the exception of the multi car's that are identical.(911's and Viper's!) -A new tuning tab option for Drag Tunes will be added. -Some of the design's on this site will be changed to be...prettier. :) -And the Forums may be moved to a new Sister site to make the Forum's easier to manage.
Please comment back with some feedback on feature's you may also want to see. Thanks everybody and keep those wheels turning!
So basically, our host said that we were using too much space and shut us down for about two months while they transferred everything to another system that can handle us. Now that this is taken care of there should not be any more interruptions in service. Also, due to an error in the message boards we have not been able to create news posts..or any new threads for that matter..for quite some time. This error has been fixed, so feel free to post to your hearts desire. :D
I apologize for the down time. Everything is back and up and running 100%! *celebrates :D*
After a day or so of down time we are back up! We were having some difficulties with our hosting which have been resolved and we're ready and rearing to go for a while. Thank you all for baring with us.
Look around! See anything different? I am currently improving the site's design and functionality. During the next few days some of the links may not be fully functional. However, if you bare with me while I finish everything up I'm sure you will be pleased with the outcome :).
As you may have already realized. Things have been happening here at Forza Garage. After a few hours of tedious coding, a few more bug fixes have been made and a website chatting system has been put into place. :D I hope you all enjoy the new improvements.
I just wanted to let everyone know that there has been a few changes here at ForzaGarage.
Everyone can now change their profile pictures! Just goto "My Garage" and click on your display picture, this will take you to your photo gallery area. Once there you can upload and manage photos.
Also, due to some people not being able to tune cars due to a javascript error on the tune page, I have gotten rid of the tabs and javascript error prevention system. So everyone should be able to submit setups easier and faster than before!
Other fixes include just random formatting errors around the website.
Hello everybody. Rat here and I'm so excited and pumped over these new cars in Forza. I'm also excited about some new additions being done to the website and some progress in fixing some bugs. I will be adding all bof the new DLC cars that I have not added which includes both the December and March pack. I am also debating on including race cars on the website but am now just wanting to focus on road cars. There will now be a photo gallery on the site as well as in the near future a chat room of sorts. We will be working hard on the site over the next couple of days and will have short periods of downtime but hopefully this will help all of you tuners enjoy and use the site more frequently. Enjoy all of the new cars and enjoy the site.
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. I myself did going to New York City for the first time. A very exciting trip indeed! I was also very pleased to see that we recently hit over 400 members! This is very exciting and we are now approaching close to 40 setups. Some announcements I have for this year are going to be the inclusion of all the DLC cars for everyone to setup. I'm a little behind in doing this and I apologize for the delay. Rest assured it will be complete very soon. The forums are going to have a complete redesign this year also with many new features and a more clean look. We will begin working out all the bugs and glitches that everyone has told us about very soon. This is a big year for Forzagarage and I hope everyone of you will join us. Thanks to the support you guys have given us. Heres to a brand new year with Forzagarage.<br> therat1989
