Forza Tuning Calculator¶

Summary¶

The Forza Tuning Calculator is a web/data tool concept for organizing car data and generating tuning recommendations for different build types.

The project combines data normalization, UI planning, calculator logic, and practical user feedback.

Problem¶

Tuning cars manually can be time-consuming because players need to compare build goals, horsepower, weight, drivetrain, gear ratios, and handling behavior.

A useful calculator needs to be clear, adjustable, and transparent enough that users understand why it recommends certain values.

Approach¶

The project is built around a searchable car database and separate tuning paths:

Select a car.
Enter or adjust key vehicle values.
Choose a build type.
Generate tuning recommendations.
Show gear and handling values clearly.
Refine results based on testing.

Tools and Concepts¶

Static web app design
JavaScript
CSV data
Data normalization
Calculator logic
UI iteration
Car database generation
User feedback loop

What This Demonstrates¶

Web app planning
Data-driven calculator design
JavaScript logic
UI/UX iteration
Handling user feedback
Turning a hobby project into a structured technical build

Outcome¶

This project demonstrates the ability to take a messy data problem and turn it into a user-facing tool with clear inputs, outputs, and iteration points.
