Quote from Jakg :......

Hmmmm, I have to say it, congrats on the car.

It's a massive upgrade from the proton. It's a nice looking car (the more I look at it) and like you say, it has all the shizznit you could ever want and plenty of poke. Shame it has that old man vibe around it but, meh, who cares.

And people quoting 0-60 figures is about as meaningful as when you did when you were looking for a new car You're not driving around with a stop watch or doing quater mile runs, you put your foot down and of she goes.

...took you long enough tho, god damn.

With thought and effort that has gone into typing that one tiny sentence people would be mad not to put lots of their time and effort into helping you start and manage a league.

Must try harder. League idea's, types of races, race distance, race format, etc, etc, etc, etc..................

I had one of those about 5 years ago, was a nice phone, good memories attached to it. That why I'm so fond of them.

Man alive, lucky for all those motorsport champions that you don't have the car, right, cause how hard can it be. They'd be in serious trouble if you had a run at them............

I've never done it but how hard can it be: some of the stuff I've read here needs to go in a book of 101 armchair world champion quotes.

If the other phone is unlocked or the same network as your sim, yes.

It's not stock tho is it and if you watch the video you can tell it's RWD.

Quote from DieKolkrabe :Wow!

I wonder what a RWD would do?

Watch the video again then.

FWD!!!!!!!!!!! Come on guy, don't tell me you're the one saying it's FWD in the comments. It's clearly RWD!

Quote from matijapkc :Hey, those cars are RALLY cars. RALLY means that there is lots of mud and JUMPS. Those cars have really good suspensions (better than those in LFS) and they can stand out those jumps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvs-uGwxe1Q You see, after that the car's suspension doesn't brake.



Rally cars are strong but there are limits, even RALLY cars are only a little bit stronger.

The car he jumped was probably toughend up a little more than normal and you have no idea what damage was done on the landing from watching the video, plus it was only 1 time, you have to do that multiple times in a dirt2 race over much rougher landings.

Dirt2 is not a simulator.

Quote from matijapkc :Can you tell me what's so unrealistic in DiRT2? Maybe physics which are better than those NFS Shift has. It is probably comparable to LFS.
EDIT: Only without barriers.

I enjoyed dirt2, we played it a lot but its not really realistic, it's a fun arcade game, and the list of things that are no realistic would be long.

If you attack one of the LFS rally tracks the same way you would in dirt2 you just understeer off and crash, damage would end the race and the jumps (which would be on the list for not realistic in dirt2) would destroy your car.

You have played LFS, right?

...lol, like 8/10 is a bad score.......anyways.

If they made a true to life F1 sim it would be a boring as hell. For the general public/pick-up races, using the BF1 as an example is not an accessible car, it's too fast, so codemasters would need to do something else.

There's probably a millions reasons fear, panic, car not starting, not really making any difference if they went forward or backward, etc etc also the fact that it would probably make it a million times worse. God knows what would happen if he tried to drive off the front, the car could to anything.

Advice from behind a computer screen is easy to give. i.e. armchair F1 champion/football manager/person-stuck-in-front-of-a-lorry.

It's just a disconnect. Don't over think it.

...it's more likely someone really close (as in distance) to you lagging out your connection anyway.

Quote from diNOSaur :i have decided to not buy gfx card ;-)
all i need to know more is which hdd should i choose.
and im not really sure about that mobo. it might be not enough so advices will be helpful :-)

On board graphics will not be good enough for LFS, I can't beleive you are not going to get a video card. IF you are lucky you will be able to play on minimum settings, on your own. The more cars racing and at places like south city the shittier it will get.

Plus you wont be able to play any other games.

Any SATA2 hard drive will be fine, you can get a 250/500G pretty cheap now. Nothing is unbreakable btw.

The problem with these kinds of threads are that every car maker will have it's horror stories and equally people who have never had a problem at all. So saying buy French (bahahha, sorry) or saying buy Toyota or Nissan (GTI first car, again, bahahahha) or Ford cause I've never had a problem, really doesn't mean much.

You need a cheap car so search for you price range, not a particular make or model, see what you can get then check out the website clubs that are around for that car and look for the common problems.

When I was looking for my first car, I searched for the money I could spend (about £500) then settled on a few makes/models I liked and went to see loads of them.

Just do the basic checks: HPI, check oil, water, tyre wear, check for leaks, if the engine bay has been cleaned it could be to hide something so double check things like that. Listen for knocking or tapping noises on a test drive, try and do some full lock turns and listen for noises (drive shafts) see if it tracks in a straight line, not pulling to one side. Check the height or the brakes, hand brake lever and clutch pedals for signs of wear/life left. Try and get long tax and MOT's cause that's an expense to try and avoid just in case it goes tits up.


There are more so if anyone has them....

Quote from hazaky :...

Don't any advice from Jakg and you should be fine.

When I was looking for my first car I took my brother with me when I went to see them. Moral support, he brought more cars than me and he used to be a mechanic. If you know someone like that grab em by the balls.

....oh and be realistic

Quote from Cropsy :The game may not be dying, but racing is.
At least it feels like that to me. Before I quit - about 3 years ago - you were spoiled for choice with different combos. Nowadays, you're pretty much stuck with multiclass, demo, cruising or drifting servers. Unless you're happy to race with grids that aren't even a quarter full.

Holey shit balls! Cropsy!!

Quote from BlueFlame :There's no opinion about it, Murphy makes alot of black jokes and deals in black humour, which doesn't work coming from a white man, why can't people accept the differences? You wouldn't purposefully ignore somebody with no legs and ask them to play football with you, so why do people choose to purposefully ignore someones skin colour? You accept they are different and then you move on, "ignoring" it only shows you have a problem with it, and therefore have to fully "ignore" it, to interact with this person as you do with everyone else.

Fine, god damn.

If Eddie Murphy was white he'd use he white background experiences in the same way he used he black background experiences to make his comedy.

He is a comedian. Mostly they use experiences to make the funnies, mostly.

No more talkie, talkie to you. It hurts my brain to read what you say.

...yeah. Thats pretty much blah, blah buy this RAM as you really need it to get the most out of your Intel/AMD system balls.

You can change the RAM voltages and timings in the bios to what ever you want so don't over think it, buy what you want.

The RAM sitting in my Intel system is at 1.8v. I had to change it (and the timings) becasue my motherboard didn't detect the correct settings.
