I just have to ask, you are male, right?

Alright, this is getting a bit ridiculous. Especially coming from a you, Ian. Cyclone's a pretty cool guy, great at what he does, just like you. I'm ashamed of how you, as an acting "Representative" of the racing community are acting towards another person, just because of a skinning topic! You're making yourself look like a fool, pretty soon some of these drifters might get the Black Panthers way of thinking and be just the same towards you. That's right, they might insult your way of playing LFS. In my time on the forums, I have never seen one drifter harass a racer about it.

No need to carry this discussion further, leave it be.

And I cringe every single time a purist runs in and kills something perfectly good without a single good reason.

Mhhm, and I'm still doing the same thing I did several years ago, just like I did in MIDWEST and Wangan Ghost back in demo. I'm not asking for rice either, just the freedom to change the car in a way, that believe it or not, can make a difference.

I'm assuming, that in LFS, they serve there purpose. Forget the price, it's the efficiency of the cars as they are... and apparently because F'n'F says that Mazda and Nissan and the lot that tuner ricey boys use, that we want it for bling bling, right? All that's being asked is the ability to modify the car to an understandable point. Hell, I can understand lower profile tires too, less tirewall bend. That's understandable, but of course in your world that's only for the Escalades and Pathfinders that gotta have 5600W worth of speakers in the back, and hoes'in'da front right?

The bit about the R34 and Silvia being "made" to drift was sarcasm (You know, the Skyline that was made RWD to drift in the Japanese D1? And other Skylines that have it.) It's just proving my point that customization is a good thing, it can get us what we want. Of course, within reason. The cardboard box bit was putting emphasis on how freakin' simple things can be. Rice, yeah. But it gets by. And how on Earth did you come to the conclusion the kit doesn't influence aerodynamics? The whole CAR does, INCLUDING the shape of it. The car includes the "kit" that is on it. Spoiler doesn't affect it much either? Never realized that, why do they even bother weighing it down then.. oh, you're too ricey. Sorry.
As for your last little bit you wrote, there isn't a problem with it. There are setups made to fit specific people for their specifics needs and style. That's their business, I wonder why people don't race "bone stock" BF1's, or XRR's, or FZR's? Of course, speed! Or for some drifters it's for some angle.


The whole point I have been trying to make is modifying cars isn't a bad thing, it isn't necessarily rice. Just because some guy comes through and wonders if it would be possible to change out a body part on a car doesn't mean it's automatic rice... and that happens alot here on the forums.

As far as I can tell, you don't understand quite that much about aerodynamics and it's affect.. a wing on the back of an XRT on an oval could be causing it's suspension to bottom out because the downforce, and shoving it down to give it mad grip.. but using more fuel and going slightly slower than it could be, but of course... it'd look stupid without it.

And if you really want to go on about how long we've been drifting, I've done nothing but drift since my demo days. That's been a very, very long time my friend. So if you want to go on about who knows what, then I know quite a bit more since you quit two years ago. Not just how-to, but the whole LFS "social" concept of it that is so hard to ignore.

I'll probably stick around for qualifying then drop out if I confirm I won't be able to make the whole event.

Okay, for those bashing on the drifters, which I am one of.

I don't know about the guy who posted that horrendous Peugeot, but some styling would be nice. Aerodynamics being affected by your kit, and not those ugly flared things alot of racers think we're all about. Something small and effect, maybe a XRT front end stretched a tad lower, or maybe the ability to "stretch" the whole body down. I could do that in reality with just a cardboard box.

What would be even more pleasent is making the XRT wing an optional extra. I don't want or need downforce on FE Club. And don't rant about me not wanting it, that spoiler is blah anyways... looks "ricer" to me.

They want an XRR with 45° of lock and super long lasting road supers.

^- Noob.


I'd also like to tell the guy who wants "a car built for drift," to go look at the XRT. Or the LX6, the RAC... you've got plenty of choices. I never realized, after all, that the Nissan Skyline R34 was built for drift, or the Silvia series of vehichles. All cars are driftable, it's possible with the LFS physics, as realistic as they are. Stop complaining, make do with what the devs give us.

I can supply the photos - now someone needs to volunteer for the interior.

Was that part of a mixing deck at the rear of the center console? Or a speaker?

Would be so sweet if you advertised for these nice folks that help those poor kids. :P

Second the notion!

You're still a squash Keisu. Nice vid.

Are you putting them in Data/Setups, or are you on X?

I don't remember causing any mischief lately, unless someone got into an argument with me. :/

My setup.

And for those who might not know me, I am Reiel ingame. Did have Touge M tags, not now. =)

This setup is more dynamic, so before you yell and scream and beat your monitor, (Then have your parents buy a new one) play with it a bit.

I always have mine turned off, Simple Shift + F. I don't like seeing the map, or my position. I like trying to remember it all. Same goes for other people, since I can't see their names... well, I can't whack anyone for hating them.

Sowwy, I only made it tooo the fiff gwade.

OP, Kiyo, perhaps you should have asked me for the original link to save the misery of getting yelled at?

Just because he's an Afro-Asian doesn't make him THAT illiterate.

*Puts a period at the end of Joseph's sentence.)

Twas a excerpt from the DriftSession website, it's a joke.


There are some serious issue with the humor parts of the brain with some people here.

They cannot take it directly, unless they convert it from the .dds form into a .jpeg. Otherwise, your skin is safe.

I know I took these, however, the main reason I released this as public is exactly because so many people got yelled at for using the same set, while they shouldn't themselves. So sorry for the aggression here, but if you're going to yell at somebody for using lights that were claimed to be private for certain people, and you don't own them... it just doesn't make sense to me. Thank you for finally being able to carry a discussion, unlike another person.

Like having them accessible by just editing a .dds isn't? Just pointing that out, since by Anathema's standards I stole these and db didn't.

Just pointing that out.

I personally prefer everyone to be able to use it, driving around and seeing my product on somebodies car would really make my day.
