Gran Turismo 7 credit grinds, engine swap builds, tuning, and online racing for adults who don't have 6 hours a night to play.
I'm Flux89 a husband, dad, and GT7 enthusiast racing in the gaps between life.
Real races, real mistakes, and strategies that respect your time.

Since I've not been able to race due to my current injury, I've been plugging away at some big tuning tools updates, and they just went live!
The Tuning Assistant got a full redesign (way easier to use now), and there's a brand new Tune Troubleshooter. Already got a tune that doesn't feel right? Plug it in, tell it what the car is doing, and it gives you exact fixes. Works with any tune, not just ones from the calculator.
Also added ideal shift points for most cars, fixed the Super Formula aero, added lbs/kg toggle, and 9-gear support.

And I started a Flux89 NEW DISCORD!. Tune sharing, bug reports, feature requests, and community race nights coming soon. Would love to see some of you in there.

Quick update on where things are at.
Surgery was Monday, discharged Tuesday, and our daughter arrived Wednesday. Beautiful chaos.
Mum is doing great, big brother is adapting to his new sister better than I expected, and I had her sleeping on my chest last night which let my wife get some much needed rest. Genuinely the best part of the week.
The knee is another story. I overdid it on Wednesday and I'm pretty bedridden right now. Probably another week before I can sit at the PC long enough to film/edit properly. Spending the time with my daughter is the priority anyway.
Might try to get a short out if I can manage it but not committing to anything. The Tokyo WTC 600 masterclass is the next big one once I'm properly back.
Thanks for the patience, will check in when I can.

Alright boys and girls, big update from me. I've completely torn my patella tendon playing basketball last night. I'm waiting on surgery with a hopeful date of next week. To spice things up even MORE, our 2nd child is due any day now. Massive couple of weeks ahead of us in the household.
The sim rig is off limits until I'm mobile enough to get in it and put load through the joint. Any physical activity is track limits, so this channel will be my only "hobby" and my reprieve from the daily challenges life will be flurrying me with.
A lot of you have been telling me my credit grinds are almost impossible to replicate on controller, especially Tokyo. Well I'm about to find out first hand how right you are. Over the next few months everything will be on pad … credit grind re-tests, a Tokyo WTC 600 masterclass, and the new LFA engine swap video I started working on before the injury.
This year has felt like a 12 round bout with prime Ali. An allergic reaction, a car accident that wrote the car off, a week and a half in hospital for a nosebleed that wouldn't stop, and now this with a newborn due any second. But we don't quit when the going gets tough. We're here for the long run, we'll do what we can, and we'll keep making content because it's what I love. Slightly different shape for the channel for a bit, but we keep cruising.
See you in the next one. Peace!

1,000+ subs. Wild. Honestly didn't think that many people would care about watching some aussie dude do ridiculous things to GT7 cars.
Thank you ... genuinely.
Next one's going to make a few of you angry. 👀

I built a FREE GT7 tuning calculator.
Plug in your car, pick your track, set your driving style and it generates a complete settings sheet. Ride height, springs, dampers, ARBs, camber, toe, diff, aero, transmission, brake balance. Every setting explained.
Something feel off after a few laps? The troubleshooter tells you exactly what to change based on the handling issue.
84 track layouts. Works on any car. No login, no ads, free forever.
Link in the comments.
I've been testing it across a bunch of different builds (FR, FF, AWD, MR, Gr.3 race cars, engine swapped road cars) and the first-pass tunes are genuinely solid.
Feedback welcome. This thing gets better the more people use it.

After some of the tuning questions on the RX7 video, I went through every credible GT7 tuning source I could find (FILO Engineering, DG EDGE, Coach Dave Academy, GTPlanet) and compiled everything into one 19-page cheat sheet.
Every setting. Starting values for every tire compound and drivetrain. A full troubleshooting section. Print it, keep it next to your TV.

Also building a web app that’ll generate custom tunes for your car + track combo. Stay tuned for that.
Let me know what you think 🏎️

Hey everyone, just wanted to give you a quick update on why there hasn't been a new video. As you can see, I'm a little beat up... After Friday's live stream and recording session, I ended up being admitted to the hospital, and I'm actually still here. I had blood noses that wouldn’t stop, currently I have a balloon the size of a prop shaft up my nose 😂
I won't lie, it feels like every time I start building real momentum, something comes up to knock me off track. It's frustrating, but I will never quit.
Thank you for your patience and support. I'll be back at it as soon as I'm recovered!
P.S and no my wife didn’t beat me up 😂
