New tuning system in Need For Speed World

And so it has rung an alarming little bell! EA have come to their senses and in Need For Speed World some semblance of the tuning we're used to has appeared. More precisely, six categories of tuning for the car's internals were introduced. In the list of categories you can notice six items:

- Engine
- Supercharger (commonly known as turbo, turbine, etc.)
- Gearbox
- Suspension
- Brake pads
- Tires (commonly known as tyres)

Well... that's encouraging! But still nothing is known about body tuning, which many of us are waiting for.

"Performance tuning can change the speed, handling and acceleration figures by increasing or decreasing them. Mostly speed and acceleration will change when tuning the engine, supercharger and gearbox, while handling - when tuning the suspension, brake pads and tires."
Sincerely yours, Captain Obvious

How to get to the tuning menu? Easy!
1. Click on the house in the top panel.
2. Look for the "Customization" label, click on it.
3. Then click on "Performance Shop".

The tuning window will now consist of three panels:

Parts panel
- This panel will display the parts already installed. It will be located on the left side of the screen.

Changes panel
- Shows how the characteristics will change after installing the selected part. It will be located at the bottom of the screen.

Store/Inventory
- In the store you can buy regular parts that won't give a significant performance boost.
- In the inventory you can install parts that you got from cards (yes, now parts can be won for free). You can get to the inventory by clicking the button next to the Store label.

November 15 we'll be told more about the parts, and for now a long and tedious wait awaits us...
