well i thought i would give this a decent try, did the trial but didnt get to play it much

got sent a promo code, $18 for 3 months so i got that, now to do some racing

can anybody make a sreamer pipe sound like this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v ... next_from=PL&index=29

if i record abit from the video it doesnt sound right when its looping, goes up and down to much or maybe i'm just not doing it right, dont really know:P

isnt working right for me, sometimes it hits the limiters only once but most of the time it does nothing

should be good once some of the issues are fixed, i like how it bounces, alot better then other limiter mods

i pretty much learned how to drift using LFS and i know other drifters who have used to to practice (some of Australias top drifters used to practice in LFS)

steering felt the same in my old car as it does in LFS so it was pretty easy when i 1st went drifting, already knew what to do

the only thing drifters need is more steering lock and better tyre physics, when we have both of them we'll have a much better game for drifters

i havent tried with my G25 yet, alot of ppl say the 370z in game doesnt drift all that well but i think its pretty much the same irl, from the reviews of the car ive seen they all say the car isnt that good in a slide

cant wait to try something more drifter friendly like a silvia then i'll really be able to tell if the physics are decent

one big thing i think GT5 is doing better then Forza 3 is the in car view, its playable in GT5 and so much more real

Seeing you guys have 1 **** Governor general or something that's the stop to implementing the equivalent of an "M" rating, when the other 5 I think agree on adjusting the ratings system, it's not your government, it's 1 person that's basically Cock-blocking you from all the best games.

1 person that can only be voted in or out by a few thousand ppl yet has the power to screw over so many ppl all over the country

1 person that is forcing his views onto everybody, he is also apart of a group called Family First who love to force there beliefs onto everybody, atm there also trying to have R18+ moves being banned from being on display in shops to protect the children

ppl can believe in what ever they want but can piss off when they try to force there

cant wait, smoke change looks decent

also wtb more steering lock:P

Quote from Bmxtwins :

guys when will u giv up this arguments been going on for like 3 years now.

not till there is more steering lock:P

Quote from senn :

it was removed, afaik, because real cars don't have that much lock (without some serious steering/suspension modifications, ie Competition Drift cars)

Not trying to flame, just inform.

getting more steering lock is a pretty basic and cheap mod on most Japanese cars

would cost me $67 for a steering lock spacer that would take about 30 mins to install and i would gain afair bit of lock

http://www.ajps.com.au/parts/extra_lock_spacers.asp

thats only 1 cheap mod to get more steering, there are alot more ways to gain steering lock for less then $200 and afew hours installing them

its really basic stuff and fine to use on a street car

i dont get why there isnt more lock, such a small thing makes a huge difference

also @ the ppl saying drifting is easy or that racing is harder, have u ever tried to drift? it has a much higher learning curve then racing, its a different set of skills, both take alot of skill to do well

Quote from theirishnoob :

nice build, take out the 4wd though, its too heavy.

yep, remove the best part about the car, sounds good

Quote from Scrabby :

When he's online i'll ask for the specs.
I've seen the engine etc.. lately. Exept airfilter, fmic, strutbar nothing much to see... Dunno what he's running internal

so its turbo, bet it has a RB25DET in it, its pretty easy to get 300hp out of them

Quote from Scrabby :

Well it produces allmoust 300bhp coming from 170bhp. Dunno what he changed to the engine but it certainly ain't no ricer

i'm going to say its not a RB20DE then?:P

Quote from R34king :

fck off the 20DE does a great job even though it aint turbo mine still goes pretty hard I can hit 2nd gear skids Not as much maintinance as a turbo and still does what I need it too do.

omg 2nd gear? yea sorry thats pretty good, get a turbo or at least a RB25DE

Quote from Scrabby :

..... u fail on ur RX-7 shed so stfu

its a R33 with a non-turbo RB20, thats pretty fail, RB20 is shit without a turbo on the side of it

Quote from innersasuke16 :

Gah! bloody wankers took the Sprinter out

huh?

Quote from SidiousX :

I.....guess that's cool?

lol this thread was pretty much a thread about S2000 motors vs V8 and that was the only S2000 in my fav's list

car is built for time attack wich it does pretty well, fastest cars here are mostly Evo's and a few GTR's, dont see many RWD cars doing well in time attack here, also does 10's and is street driven

I mean, how could you not like that?

Quote from kingcars :

The 14.6 was with the stock 5.0. After the so called "boltons" (since when are things such as forged pistons considered boltons, anyway?), my car is set up to lay waste to the aforementioned 2 litre convertable for FAR less money and without that extra 20 years of technology advancement. How pathetic.

lol, S2000 isnt build to be a drag car, its built to handle good, something it detroys your car in

Quote from hazaky :

I only know, that u gotta stop and hold brake pedal down to switch gear or something.

dont do that lol

Quote from kingcars :

Doubt it would kill me off the line. While I'm putting over 250ftlbs of torque to the ground at 1650rpm he's...wait......his dyno graph doesnt even start until 3000rpm. Even then, he doesnt get to 100ftlbs until 5000rpm. Yes, they are light cars, but even that can only do so much.

a light car does alot more then you seem to think (not only for 1/4 mile but handling to)

Quote from kingcars :

Look at that! Even at 8500rpm it's only putting 193hp to the rear wheels. It's only putting 125hp or less to the rear wheels up until 6000rpm. I'd be freakin GONE by the time the car got there, and still be pulling away.

if you raced someone that couldnt drive yea maybe, dont forget a S2000 is alot lighter then your car so off the line it would kill your car, hp and torque arent the only things that make a car fast

my AE86 making like 70kw would beat alot of cars with more power off the line then get destroyed because it has no power lol but it turns corners good and thats all i care about for now, later when i have more money i'll put a turbo motor in it then it wont be so crap in a staight line

untill you hear something from Song i would ignore any release dates

4cly and rotarys built to be really light and small, mount the engine as far back and as low as you can to give better wieght balance = a better handling car

V8, good for making power but almost allways weighing more then most 4 and 6's, more wieght in the engine = worse waight balance (well at least when its a FR setup)

your big heavy car with its big V8 takes more power to go as fast as a small car with a 4cly + the small car will allways out handle the big car

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

What would you do with the Austrian guys who put a V8 engine into a Skyline? Unfortunately, it's true...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v ... jrvLE&feature=related

to bad that was prob the biggest budget car that drifted that year but did heaps bad lol, V8's are good for easy power but would have been better with a SR20 imo, you never see the Japanese putting V8's in there drift cars, you almost never see them even putting 6's in it unless it was the stock engine

edit: also its from Australia not Austria

Quote from runeman :

Uhhhhh.... You can't drift with what you have now?

you can race with the cars, tracks and physics we have now but let me guess you would love to have more of it?

adding more lock would take crap all time and effect drifting in LFS heaps
