I just did it. Used my silly power sl65. Found it easiest of the fujima kaido reverse track. Can tell you the settings I used if you want?
Thank you very much for the offer razer1978, it's very kind of you!
I replaced the cable between the wheel and pedals for a new one (found one in my old netgear router box) and it works perfectly now. I took apart the pedals for nothing! Nevermind! I'm enjoying Forza 3 much more now. It's a lot more challenging than with the pad!

At the dashboard "My Xbox" select your profile (2nd from the left, where it shows your avatar and says Signed In), then select Customize Avatarive bought that outfit you can get your avatar to wear with some left over credits ... anyone know how i put the bloody thing on
* as you may be aware im not very good with the xbox
Fantastic game 
Brilliant, I couldn't have been more wrong about this!
Wipes the floor with Shift, the car's feel perfect, the racing forces you to follow proper lines and climb up the grid with proper maneuvers not just cut corners and shove people out of the way as all you do is end up with a fudged car and less money lol!
I am not long into the second year, would say about half way.
Had a little play with some of the le mans cars on the nurburg ring last night, the track it's self is a spectacle, spot on, having ridden it my self on the Ducati I can confirm the track is almost identical it's scarey how they have got every single little bump in the game and at the exact place as well!

I cant to try drifting - Im nearly there (about level 27 or so)
I just got gifted a Mine's Evo for winning an event, and did a quick upgrade on it and its completely useless - its fast as **** but hit a curb even slightly and it will flip onto its roof, just looks /feels completely unrealistic (esp for a "general" upgrade , if I had overcooked the upgrade then it wouldnt be an issue)
All other cars have been cool and seemingly work /handle as expected

Ah, that reminds me, upgrades... Obviously I have no idea about car's as I don't drive lol, so I am using the quick upgrade all the time, is it accurate and does it upgrade the things that would normally be done manually?
I worry as in shift for example it was dead simple but in this there are so many tweaks, some making things worse than others so having to think real hard on what I do.
For example, I had a focus RS I won last night, it was terrible in the corners so I put on a splitter and some sports tyres, it make my grip and cornering tons better (oh and suspension) but cut off my top speed... So on the straights I just keep up with the AI but through the corners it makes up for it.
This level of customisation is fantastic imo, true tuning but as I said, I have no idea lol. So need to know wether I can depend upon the games quick upgrade to do a good job.

edit: this game has its claws on me, I want to go home and play it right now!

Managed 110,000 in my AE86 at Fujimi last night \o/
I also bought an tuned a TVR Sagaris last night as it's one of my favourite cars, and it is... horrible
Full suspension mods, slicks and no extra power and it still feels like its on ice. Understeer into corners, oversteer in the middle and no traction on exit. And take any kink in the road > 100mph and you'll be driving out of the drivers window.
That is very true.

Got my 100K drift last night in my Impreza, need to go properly and do it in a RWD car to make myself feel like a real man, too
If anyone is having issues with setups (ie: the Mines post by FrankJH, just give's a yell if you need a tuning setup doing, done a few for people on here already which have worked out well, happy to do it for fun

Really enjoying this game & last night turned off the majority of the driving aids which makes things abit more fun
However not sure if ive missed something obvious but can you not see the leaderboards prior to doing a race eg so I can see how fast my friends have done a race so I know a time to try & beat rather than doing the race then seeing my mates beat me by 1sec or whatever. Also cant seem to spot the leaderboards on the my forza part of the website, me & my boss always used to look at those for forza2.

I had a good stint on this last night, built up a good wedge of credits only to throw more money at cars. M5 is now an R3 class, over 900hp, totally undriveable. Then blew a load on an AE86. It's just so addictive buying cars and boosting them up.

Unfortunately not. The leaderboard option is also completely missing from multiplayer, which is a little annoying if you manage to set a flyer and can't see how good it actually was.

Hurrah!
Hmm,
Finding this a bit easy still. Doing a championship, I opted out of using my MR2, and used my Lancia which is a class below and I nailed past 4 on the lights, then did the last car after 2 or 3 bends. Maybe I should up it to hard? Only aid I've got on is ABS.
Removed the suggested braking line a while ago and got caught out a fair bit.
I still can't join matches by searching on my own, unless I'm with a mate who searches. I can see match numbers, but then when It tries to join it puts me in an empty room on my own
I know my NAT port is forwarding as I enabled it for when I got GTA. Weird. Anyone else getting this?
