    This all started when I went to figure out how to get the DSC Bora to bounce a bit less on the Small Island map. I adjusted the dampening and it helped a lot. Then my tuning escalated. Here's the list:

    -Coilovers: two options
    -Road: just dampening is changed for less bouncing
    -Race: ride height, dampening, and springs changed for less body role and more responsiveness
    -Tires: Race option with slightly higher grip given to match the Race suspension
    -Gearing: I changed it around based on a ton of research into race car's gearing. There are also four final drive ratios available giving top speeds (if drag did not exist) of 200, 175, 150, and 125.
    -Drag: I set the drag so the car could hit about 180. This was based on research into 60's Formula 1 cars and Caterham 7s as the Bora seems to be a mix of those. I know that's not the most scientific method, so I'm open to suggestions.
    -Brakes: added ABS option

    notes:
    -This mod keeps all the defaults except for the drag change. I couldn't find a way to keep it since it was in the main Jbeam file.
    -I couldn't find a way to make it separate from the original dscbora either, so you will have to move the original file out.
    -Remember to remove the file from the zip file.
    -If you use my differentials, you need to be using my transmission and vice verses as neither would work well with the originals.
    -BRP stands for BR(my initials) and performance. This is the name of my imaginary future racing team...

    Thanks to DrowsySam for making this great mod and letting me post my work on it.

    Please feel free to ask any questions or give any recommendations in the comments. Enjoy.

    Nice! Now the Bora is something James May won't call a Nurburgring disaster.

    Thanks. Or at least you can now choose whether or not you want it to be a Hirochi Raceway disaster.
