Here at Pendulum Tuning we had a short spell of bringing you our community, news, feature's, content and more within our magazine.
We enjoyed gathering content and delivering this to our readers.
However, the creation of the magazine was a heavy workload for team members and severely cut into their personal time.
That being said it was very well received and we would like to continue working with the community and deliver the same feature's and content that the magazine contained.
The best way for us to do this and continue what we started is to deliver that content right here to the forum.
So look out for new feature's, content, guide's, reviews and anything in-between right here in the 'PTG Magazine' section of our forum.
Thank You For Your Continued Support!
PTG Team

Gamertag:SP01LED JAM1E Years on XBOX:9 Blood type:R
First I want to thank the Pendulum Tuning team for asking me to do this. They are a great group of Forza players to say the least. Dedicated to the culture of the Forza franchise. It is weird to write about yourself to begin with and even more so with your Gamertag. So here it goes and I hope you enjoy it.
First a little of my Forza history. I have been playing the Forza series since it started. When XBOX 360 came out I was racing and tuning on my own in Forza 2. I then met up with some guys in the public hosted lobbies just by chance. That was a group of guys called the Crumpets. JerodR, Kat, Special K, Texanfanatic and many others. Then it became a constant thing and I was playing with these guys on a regular basis.
Then I was welcomed in to the Poor Boys Tuning garage as a seller. I was not a founding member of the team but I was around on their forums and such with the original guys. Redneon, Texanfanatic, Mee Naughty, Special K, Daytight, Hybrid, OutlawracerX etc. (Texanfanatic, Daytight and Special K made the highest quality NFL cars in the game and they were very popular in the auction house.) I was trusted with the teams tuning formulas and paints. The Poor Boys advertised within the Forza forums for new cars that we were going to release in to the auction house. I would then put the cars together and sell them in the auction house. I kept up on tuning as well. I would have the drivers of the team start to test them out. They liked my tunes, the painters would paint them and we would sell them.
We then merged with Turbo Tuners with AintRite69. The team was then called PBTurbo. Became friends with more people such as AlfredosNL, SRT Indy, TGS Indy, FTW Shoot Em Up, Insane Rocket, TGS Dega 88, TGS Hoss 360, Flippin Whips, TGS BrotherDeath, Lamerz, FTW Timbo1977, Smarkel, VVVhobo, just to name a few. From there I met a lot more people in the tuning world and from a lot of the other tuning garages. A lot of those people are still in my friends list. Some still play and some seemed to have moved on. None the less I have kept on tuning and tried to make quality lobby tunes for whoever wants them.
I love tuning and racing in the Forza series. I like the people and all the virtual cultures that it has created. You have the tuners, racers, drifters and painters. There is so much variety as well. So many great people that share the same passions. One of the things that I strived for and tried to separate myself from all of the other tuners in the Forza series is to make no aero tunes. It is my belief that no aero tunes can be just as competitive as the full aero tunes. Maybe a little bit of showing off with skills in understanding how to tune with only mechanical grip. This is admittedly a very tough thing to do. Full aero tunes are certainly the top choice of the majority of racers and tuners in this game. I do a lot of full aero tunes as well. However I love showing up in a lobby with a stock looking car, turning some heads and raising some questions with a no aero tune. I also love getting feedback from the people who use my tunes. As a tuner getting feedback from users is never scripted, can be harsh and may not be the most flattering. However it is that same feedback through the years that has shaped my tuning style in the Forza series. I will always try to do my best and incorporate the feedback in to my tunes.
In real life I am a real car fanatic. I go to a lot of races. I spend a lot of time at real tracks. I have seen some of the rarest cars around. I used to share a lot of my car pictures and racing adventures with my teammates on the PBTurbo website. I do share a few of the newer pictures from time to time on my Twitter account. I do not have a lot of followers so a lot of the pictures I have shared on Twitter have not been seen. Maybe I should start to share on the Forza forums as well, we shall see. As far as real life racing goes I love Formula One the most. I have watched and followed Formula One since I can remember. However I love all of the forms of racing. I love WRC, LeMans, you name it. I also work for a global company that is heavily involved in various types of manufacturing in the global auto industry. So I get to do and see a lot in the real auto world for my job. I have been married for over 20 years and we have two teenage sons. My family comes with me to a lot of the racing events. Our family hobbies beyond playing XBOX are mountain biking, skateboarding, doing anything outside as well as travelling.
If anyone ever needs anything in Forza just hit me up. I will do what I can. I have always tried to help as many fellow players as possible. If you see me in a lobby race say hello. I like meeting new players. If you are a painter and you would like to collaborate on something I am always up for it. Take care and thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy my tunes.

I really am very honored to have been chosen for this as a featured tuner. Just being recognized in such a way is very gratifying. Thanks again to the entire PTG team for the years worth of fantastic content and collaborations with me.
