Quote from Crashgate3 :

How do 'W' engines work? I know they're like two 'V's but do they use two crankshafts side-by-side (as the name 'W' would imply) or are the 4 lines of cylinders arranged like a fan over a single crankshaft?(kind of like half a radial engine)?

actually, they are two V8's, or any other V size, put together. but they are side by side, not put on the fronts of the engines. its kind of like this. im representing V's and the cylinders, and L's as the split between to show you both V8's together.

V V l V V
V V l V V
V V l V V
V V l V V

it is not the best, but i hope you know what i mean.

i want this http://www.seriouswheels.com/p ... engine-study-1280x960.jpg W16 FTW 1001bhp ftw. Lfs needs a veyron and a 12 mile straight track.

good call!

Quote from Bean0 :

"The 14-cylinder Wärtsilä RT-flex96C engine is also the world’s most powerful engine with an output of 80,080 kW (108,920 bhp) at 102 rpm."

Got a poster of that one on the wall at work, not had any work from one (yet) though.

put that amount of horsepower in a car, and you can make the Earth go in reverse! like, completely change the rotation.

Quote from Crashgate3 :

You want one of these:




18,200 litre straight-10 diesel.


(from a ship, obviously )

wow! thats a huge engine!

Quote from Becky Rose :

A 9 litre engine is such a waste, I think we should move to alternative fuels and start saving the planet.

This is why I would like to use the 4016 TESI Gas Engine from Perkins. It's only a 61 litre V16, perfect for environmentaly conscious motoring.


The smaller 4012. Cant find piccy of the V16.

ok, you said we should save the planet with smaller engines, and then you recommend an engine almost twice the size of this. im confused

oh. should have seen that one coming. ok. some threads were spam, but I had no idea this one belongs to a started thread a long time ago. still, i wish I could pass it out, but it's a 1.15 GB movie!

the game Driver comes to mind. Tokyo Racer 3? 18 Wheels of Steel? idk.

This is like my sixth or seventh thread today, but i have one thing to say. you HAVE TO watch Dust to Glory! Greatest Baja 1000 movie ever. it WILL change your mind about rally. rally is like walking 2 feet compared to this. 1000 miles, 32 hours of driving, having a high chance of a rollover, trophy trucks and dune buggys racing stock VW beetles (the old ones), dirt bikes and ATV's also competing, and silt that can swallow a bike, and you have to race at night in order to win. which means hitting a cactus that can destroy your car is a risk. another thing, teams help out each other; instead of abandoning them and letting them be. Spectators by the tens of thousands, cliffs to your left, roads just as wide as your car, roads that can total a rally car, but the only thing you need to worry about is time. a first place winner can take 16 hours to get him from start to finish. when the trucks drift, they get a front wheel 2.5 feet off the ground! they can jump over a rally car, and land like they went over a bump. So all I'm saying is watch it! Watch it before you come back with snippy little comments saying that rally is "better."

Quote from Nissan_Lover :

Datsun 240z...



Nuff said.

that would be frikin awesome! my next choice would be a trophy truck.

Quote from Klutch :

And the engine in the back? :P

ding ding! you got it! first person too!

Quote from mutt107 :

you need to stop posting threads now.. you posted like 5 useless threads allready today.

hey i got two words for you... shut up. do i care if i posted useless crap? no. lfs forum is a community where people can come and share ideas and where others can agree, disagree, give a bunch of crap to them (hey, sounds like you!), or have a good laugh about it. so far today, im 3 of my posts, everyone did what YOU did in here. Say something about the topics, or just don't even post your sh** in here. besides, you made a thread about BACON!

Quote from MAD3.0LT :

man i would love that engine in a old school muscel car put a 6/71 or 8/71 on it and use it as a daily driver

how much is one of them engine's?? 15k usd?

yeah. idk, maybe this engine might not be a waste. i realized, they could use it in the Baja 1000. so, i change my mind. it's a great engine. and you were close to the price. its an $18,000 engine.

ok. im posting a picture of the biggest car engine in production right now. it's Chevrolet's 572. it is a 9.5 liter, and you can get it in either 620 hp, or 750 hp. i think it's a waste because thats too much power, its probably very heavy, and why make your car have worse handling? also, this is random, but where is the engine in the gold cuda? that is the second attachment.

(Nag nag nag) Wheres the Scirocco? (nag nag nag) Why is it postponed? (nag nag nag) this sucks. (nag nag nag) im angry. (done)

Hi. I finally got version Z for my computer, but i still have version X. anyway, my LFS now lags on blackwood, and i don't know why. it always lags by the pits, in the pits, and sometimes at the car park. It gets down to like 3.0 fps, and then i get a shadow error. is there any way i could fix this? please help. thanks!

Quote from Takumi_lfs :

I want shitload of babes when starting the race! forget about the cars!

that would be cool!!

Quote from AjRose :

325i's are I6's

I would add a DTM spec BMW E30 m3 I dont think I'd be able to sleep at night knowing I could be driving that on lfs

oh. i never knew that. also, everyone here has some good ideas for cars.

if you could have any car in LFS that you want, what would it be? I would put in two cars. a V8, and a 4 banger. I would put in a Corvette C6 ZO6, and a '87 BMW 325i

Quote from chanoman315 :

I got bored while watching your video


SPOILER: YOU'RE GOING TO WASTE 34 SECONDS OF YOUR LIFE

SICK BURN! yeah, you must have been bored. that was boring to me. you got 2.5 star rating! :biggrinfl

i am so sorry. I wish i could help. but perk up, hunt them down, and kick thier ***es!

Quote from PioneerLv :

Jeep always was a great offroad wehicle. I always loved it.

yay! thanks for agreeing! thats a first for me! too bad some people don't see it's capabilities.

Quote from AjRose :

It's to bad not all new "muscle cars" have good handling.. Like that boat with wheels they call the challenger bleh.. They couldnt even make it good looking.

oh i see your point. the Challenger is a boat, and too tall. i mean, its like your driving a building!

Quote from Stefani24 :

Me and downing demo-racers?
Yea for sure.
Now i down you: You dont have the right to speak to us in that way. We were rubbing NOTHING in your face, we're just saying you have some of the most-used cars of lfs, a really good track, and almost evry other option an s2 racer has also.
All THAT for FREE. NOTHING. 0. WITHOUT PAYING.
We paid 24Pounds/36€ and have, much moe content, if you wanna be as happy as we are, then, damnit, pay that money and you have the license.
Damn cheapos.

And you dont need to shift with clutch even with auto clutch off.
Just release the gas, then just shift, and go on the gas again.
Easy as breathing.

yeah i know. im being butt hurt right now. i should think about the positives. the FBM is fast, great handling, and its easy to get a fast laptime. the XRG is a cool drift car, and if i set it up right, i can hit 120 mph. the XFG is a car that can easily roll, plus it's snippy! so, yeah. i have to say im sorry then. that was rude of me . so, sorry S2 licensed users.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

No-ones rubbing it in your face. It's just that you are asking for improved features at no extra cost to yourself (which, to me at least, is quite irritating, borderline rude).

The FBM provides good close racing, as do the XFG/XRG (I mean, look at CTRA Race 1 on a good day)

Never noticed a problem with the FBM's clutch myself, maybe change the gear-ratios.

or take off auto clutch, let off the gas, clutch in, shift up, gas again, and go! well, i'll just deal with it. besides, i think GTA San Andreas ruined my LFS playing. You see, i got a Bugatti Veyron mod for that could hit 236 (which was unreal), but the cool thing was the guy that made included a CLEO file. CLEO is an ability to make the cars of there do something different. In this cleo the Bugatti Veyron author made was that the spoiler could retract and contract. So, im going back to LFS permenatly.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

No.


The demo cars are crap because you don't pay for the priveledge of playing the game.

I'm sure the FBM would hit 135mph (Can't quite see why this figure is so important) on the BL straight with minimal downforce and a bit of a draft. Besides, it's not how fast you drive - It's how you drive fast.

ok. good point. i guess this is why NFS sucks a bit. maybe i should do that. try driving fast, and not see how fast i can drive. still. i would like to drive that VW. i don't have any money though, and to tell you the truth, im not allowed to play this on my computer, cause i'm borrowing a school computer. when i get my own, they said i can have LFS again. but i still play on a school computer.

wow. you guys down LFS demo users. i don't have plans on buying the S2 license right now, and im just saying that so all people who don't have any plans on buying a license can actually have a GOOD car. The XRG in here has trouble just getting to 115 mph, the XFG has the same problem, and the FBM's clutch always goes out, even if you shift right. Otherwise, you do have good points, but all because you have S2 licenses doesn't mean you have to rub them in others faces.

Quote from BigPeBe :

I voted for shopping trolleys because I don't prefer anything really on that list, instead I prefer something like this:

YES! a shopping trolley. I'll vote for that! Shopping trolleys are the best and most simple car you can get.

Quote from Bose321 :

I voted for Shopping trolleys. But not those american ones, they are heavy, and handly crap.

I agree, and disagree. Top Gear liked the new Cadillac CTS-V. James May actually passed Jeremy Clarkson (which Jeremy had a Corvette ZR1) in the new CTS-V on a corner. They can handle you know.

Quote from JO53PHS :

Where's the 'I hate muscle cars option'?

Muscle cars made the European V8's you know. besides, they are now getting something that they discovered. american manufacteurs discovered in 2004 that there was a thing called HANDLING! they were like,"holy crap! it's amazing. we are now going to do this."
