Gran Turismo 7 sees the return of the series’ big feature that launched a thousand armchair mechanics: Tuning, Where you can upgrade any old banger (or Honda Fit Hybrid) into a premium racing machine.
The Tuning Shop is unlocked after progressing through the early stages of the game and also offers different upgrades based on your Collector Level. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t trust you with putting a nitro kit in the back of your Fiat 500 from the start, but there are a lot of things to learn and do even with the basic tuning upgrades:
General Tuning Tips
It’s easy to think that, once you have unlocked the parts and have enough credits, you can then just stick everything on your car and you’ll have an unbeatable beast. But, if you do this, you might be unnecessarily throwing credits away or, even, making your car harder to drive. Here are some general rules of thumb to stick to when tuning in Gran Turismo 7:
- Tires are more important than everything else. This is because default road tires are useless to race on, and offer terrible handling and braking. You should upgrade any car you have that you want to race with to, at least, Sports Hard Tires.
- A fast car is difficult to control. If you put loads of expensive upgrades on your car that increase its Maximum Power, but if you don’t change the brakes or suspension then it is a waste of credits. Instead, balance your spending on power, handling, and brake improvements.
- Before a purchase, note the change in your car’s Performance Points (PP) that this might have. If it has no or very little effect, it might be because your car doesn’t have the requirements for that part, or wouldn’t be improved without it. For example, an anti-lag system is not going to do anything on a car that doesn’t have a turbocharger.
- You don’t necessarily need the custom suspension and brake set-ups if you don’t know what you’re doing. Unless you are in a full-scale racing car, the Sports Suspension offers great handling improvement without needing to fiddle with suspension settings.
- You can use the Power Restrictor to turn down your car’s Performance Points (PP) if you are trying to enter a race that has a PP limit. Note that it only reduces power, and not handling or braking performance.
- Weight Reduction must be done in stages. So you must perform Stage 1 before Stage 2 and so on.
GT Auto
Aside from the Tuning Shop, you can also modify your car from GT Auto. Here you can apply bodywork modifications to the car such as wings and side skirts, change the type of lights the car has, and the type of wheels.
You can also change a car’s oil in GT Auto, and you should do this if the Oil under Car Conditions is anything less than excellent (as it only costs 350 credits). You can also clean your car here (welcome back, old friend), restore rigidity, and perform an engine overhaul. This is costly though, so don’t do this unless absolutely necessary.
