I missed this, my 4yr old XBox died just before Xmas, so i had to replace it with a shiny new black one with HD
Looks like i'll be spending more money then to get me some MS points. It's becoming a bit of a pisstake now though, with the developers releasing the games but to finish them 100% you have to buy additional content.
Anyway, looks like i've got some virtual retro's to tinker with

I ended up selling the vast array of modded cars i have on the game to mod volvo 242's, fiat 131's, saab 90's, and a couple of mercades evolutions.
Shame its my little brother who is connected to live and not my profile or i'd share photos.

Having trouble tuning the 242, it corners and goes quick fine but I can't stop the rear spinning up almost constantly! Any tips without going AWD?

Have you changed to a 2.1 diff? Just try little adjustments on that for starters. That said i don't think it's a 244 problem as much as a RWD thing on Forza, pretty much anything will spin ridiculously unless it has big barry spoilers!
Alternatively just feather the pedal gently, to get the best times you really have to be mm perfect on your trigger finger placement to prevent wheelspin and loosing time.
