Erm, the Mazda 3 MPS is hardly a nice/sensible car.

Your point still stands however

Actually it was. Perfect drivability. My first winter with it was on Potenza RE050A's. They're a summer only tire and I was fine, even in blizzard conditions. Just had to be sensible with the skinny pedal on the right (considering the car would spin in 3rd in dry weather).

Once I put snows on it, it was unstoppable in the snow.

Quote from theirishnoob :

you traded... a 3... for THAT... Are you mentally retarded

Nah, I loved the 3, don't get me wrong. It scooted, especially with the mods I had done. However, I dropped my payment in half and have a bit more breathing room in this economy and (as you can see) just as much fun potential.

Well, I had a 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 (Mazda 3 MPS). Traded it and got this: #3 is the best one!

Quote from Killer Beast :

Hi

I've tried it on a cruise server and it works REALLY well although it's a bit unrealistic . In a real auto car when you touch the gas pedal it revs but doesn't move much (unless you've got like a V8 or something ). In first gear in RL say you rev to 2000RPM you're going like 10MPH. Then you keep the revs there and it slowly goes quicker until the revs build up and it changes gear. I'm not sure that happens in all auto cars but...... Anyway, nice program. It must've been hard to program it so 10/10 from me Could need a bit of tweaking here and there but its AMAZING altogether. Nice program

Sorry if i haven't explained the RL auto gearbox very well :thumbsdow:
:dnfnoob:

That's because a real A/T car has a torque converter.

In the game, it would have to slip the clutch to do this.... wouldn't last too long.

I posted up a couple pictures a while back, in May I think.

Here are a couple videos.

It did install fine (took a third download), but for some reason it is still crashing when I go online. I'll have to look into other things.

For a while since reinstalling XP Pro on my C drive, I've been getting issues while online playing LFS (which is installed on my D drive).

I decided that maybe reinstalling LFS would fix the issue.

Unfortunately after downloading the installer, which uses 7-Zip I guess, I get an error message. The window says "7-Zip: Diagnostic messages". Inside the window I have 1,600 errors (numbered 0 to 1,599), each one on a different item and each one saying that there is a data error in some type of file.

When I try to run LFS, I get an error that states: "Could not open file : data\veh\XF.vob".

Picked this up about a month ago:

Or you could just change your screen saver to off while you're playing.

I ran a 9.55 pretty easily. Only using 1200 or so hp. Also, only using a tire width of 255.

In order for you to see the skin, it has to be loaded onto your computer. That's the way it seems anyways. Maybe they could have some sort of encryption, done after you upload it, but it would most likely just be a pain in the rear.

A mixed dirt/tarmac hillclimb such as Pikes Peak: Map / Video

Nordschleife, but that has already been mentioned.

A "Tough Trucks" stadium truck style racing area or 2, complete with jumps and whatnot. Link

Small (1/8 mile or so) oval track, with a possible figure 8 configuration with and without small ramps, to make things interesting. Example

More road courses, with large elevation changes. Example

Quote from wheel4hummer :

You have to change the BOV coefficiant in LFSTweak. If you make it higher, then instead of the wastegate sounding like shhhhhhhhhh, it'll sound like Pshhhhhhhhhhhttttthhhhhhhhhhheeewwwwwww. illepall

Here's a video of a car with an open wastegate. It also happens to have a broken front differential, so it's RWD instead of AWD. There is a swear word in the video, so if you're sensitive to that, don't watch it. It's pretty amusing, as he's just beating the hell out of the car.

Quote from gen2integra93 :

most likely, this is the case. it would be pretty sweet though to have louder spool and a dumped gate.

I would have to agree.

I've been helping a friend with his Eclipse GSX and having no airbox is sweet, you can really hear that turbo hiss. Now to try and get him to install a larger turbo with an external gate, dumped to atmosphere. :evil:

It would be nice, but I would assume that all the cars have the wastegate dump re-routed back into the exhaust.

This is a good idea.

I'd also like to see rubber rings on some of the normal cars if they come in contact with another cars' tires.

Also, paint swapping cars would be cool, but that would take alot to perfect, due to everyone having different color paint jobs.

Sounds like it's a stock BOV, with the dump tube removed.

Quote from Forbin :

Ahem... One of the F-number keys (F9 through F12) allows you to do the first two, but only online. Not quite sure how you could adjust a mechanical diff on the fly but I could see it being possible if it were electrical. I think mixture adjustments could add another interesting element to longer races, though. Leaner mixture leads to less fuel consumption and less power, and I could be wrong but I think it also means more heat.

Taking the flight sim, X-Plane, as an example (not real life, I know), full rich mixture leads to lots of fuel consumption, reduced power, and VERY cool exhaust temps. Leaning it out slowly results in an reduction of fuel consumption and an increase in power and exhaust temp. However, when you lean it out past the optimal mixture, the power and exhaust temps drop suddenly. I'm not quite sure what happens to the fuel consumption at this point. Just a little leaner and the engine dies altogether.

Leaner does equal more heat, but leaner gives BETTER fuel efficiency and MORE power, until stoic ratio is acheived. From that point and leaner, it is worthless to remove fuel from the mixture becuse you're risking detonation.

Quote from hideaki-san :

Modded engines? How about engines which puke oil, coolant, and rods onto the track if you really screw up?

Yes.

I think an engine creator would be wonderful and loads of fun.

I know it would be difficult for some people to figure it out, but if you have some default selections, they would have something to start with and would be able to make small adjustments to parameters and I bet they would eventually figure stuff out.

An other way to make people that are less knowledgeable able to remain competitive would be to simply have a check box when creating a server to allow or disallow modified engines.

If anyone has ever used Desktop Dyno (link), you would most likely agree that everything that it allows you to do may be sufficient, although I would like to see a wider range of compressors or maybe custom compressors that you can design your own flow chart.

How about some diesel powered vehicles.

last summer i was racing at the LimeRock road course here in CT almost every weekend and was up at New England Dragway in NH almost every Wednesday night...so yes...i do race my car quite often [/quote]

What color is your Neon? Is it blue?

I go to NED quite often, although mostly for sport compact events and with my DSM club on the second Wednesday of every month. I don't race with my current car, but I will hopefully be picking up something to race with in the near future.

Quote from lrdbsi :

actualy not many cars can handle 5 psi. or for long that is, say a rb20det... 5 psi will blow the ceramic turbo and override the fuel pump also, putting alot of pressure on the electronic coil packs, soon blowing them ,, ( telling from experience ) it aint all about boost lol , maybe one or two psi diff for single player use and a fuel control regulator for u to control the airfuel, rb4 is a not similar to a mitsubitchsi lancer,
from driving many cars in real life id say its most similar to a celica GT-4 turbo,
people who drive one will agree with me , peace

Correct, it's definately a Celica.

An extra 5 PSI would be fine on the turbo, it's the engine running lean that would suffer. You would constantly hit fuel cut, totally killing your accelletation.
