FZR with a turbo would give me a raging hardon.

eh apple can't always pick winners. Sure the Apple fanbois won't care tho. Jobs could shit in their mouth and they'd still want to give him their money for the priveledge.

Front wheels look strange, i think too much "dish" If you look where the suspension would be, with that much dish, it'd be almost in the middle of the car, where the engine is...

Looks good otherwise.

800pound would buy a header back performance exhaust system. Stainless steel. Why on earth would you use standard parts...they usually cost the same as better aftermarket parts, once the car is past a certain age.

That and alfas sound mint with a nice exhaust <3

Quote from Chrisuu01 :

I disagree since for the Boxter and the Caymen you can have the same for less. I could get a 370Z.
The Cayenne is but ugly and 911 meh not a rare car at all.

And the Panamera is almost as ugly as the Cayenne so no thanks i won't buy even if i had the money.

240Z with lightly tuned RB26DETT from the R34 Nur edition. Oldschool rims, ducktail wing and bam, happier than a pig in slop.

Looks heaps better than the 370 imho

haha yep that'd do it....

why would you even bother with a panamera o_O

IMHO the best porsche road car is the GT3 RS. Sounds exquisite.

1.8ghz dual core intel

this system is old, it can run LFS fine as long as there isn't 20ai on the screen at one time, but then the CPU starts to struggle. I'm looking at upgrading later in the year.

What's hurting you the most is a slow CPU (being as LFS does a lot of physics calculations) and integrated graphics card. They aren't really intended for gaming.

z25 isn't the latest version, Z28 is.

Also LFS uses a lot of CPU time, and yours is extremely old. so thats probably the best you will get.

Re install your gfx drivers anyway, incase they have become corrupted.

Is the fan on the GFX card still working? If the card gets too hot, performance will diminish.

What operating system are you using? usually in windows,
Make sure LFS is running (doesn't matter if its menu/race etc)
CTRL+ALT+DEL, click Task Manager, go to processes tab, find LFS.exe, RIGHT click, should bring up a menu
Select Set Affinity, and make sure it has all the cpu boxes selected. It should unless someone else has been playing.

Also update your gfx card drivers.

Is your computer a Laptop?

Turn limit frame rate off for starters. That probably isn't the issue, but its pretty unnecessary

Now LFS isn't multithread optimized, but why is it leaning so heavily on one core...mine is only dual core, but it seems to use both about the same. Is LFS set to use all cores, and not just one?

Did you install any software around the time the slowdown was first noticed?

How many controllers do you have plugged in? (not usually an issue with LFS, but some console ports i've noticed freak out with certain controllers)

Tried using alternate shadow generation?

Updated your video + soundcard drivers?

Virtual Gauges on, problem solved.

Quote from DavidTiger :

Damn, need to buy a set of gauges for this The GPX600 bikes are not electrontic, Spinning cable off the front wheel, ah well off to ebay to get a cheap set

Why would a tachometer, that measures engine speed have a cable off the front wheel? Sure you aren't confusing speedo and tacho? most cars past the 80's, at least that i've seen use electronic tacho's, generally running off a coil terminal, or ECU rpm out..

make sure windows or any other firewall has all the correct ports enabled. Make sure your router has all the correct ports enabled.

WAIT I THINK I SPOTTED IT. Click the TCP button down the bottom so it says "YES". Let me know if it worked.

sweet, so that'd mean LFS videos of marshalls doing disco dance moves. Sounds like a plan..

God i hope they prove all the doubters wrong. I really do

This one is not factory, and unfortunately these cars in this country are now associated with hoons, and are also a massive theft target. Still love the shape tho <3

haha i didn't even know this system existed....wow!

yeah i agree with that. It was whatever that appauling BMW half wagon half SUV thing was that clarkson was bitching about *shrug*

my driving instructors car Daewoo something, boxy hatch 10 years ago was a 5 speed manual, with a reverse up and to the left. Had a collar you had to pull too.Which jammed up so you ended up in reverse instead of first. Good times @ traffic lights.

Also on strange gear shift things, on the last ep of top gear this season, clarkson was complaining about a "tiptronic" type up/down shift having the up as a pull backwards. I Always thought this was a more natural place to have it anyway, but apparently not? Also thought most rally cars with sequential boxes had a pull to go up gears, push to go down gears...maybe not?

Behold, the glory of an 80's hi-ace column shift :P

AWD gets boring pretty quick tbh. understeer makes me want to yawn. I'd rather have something with a bit of "personality" in the way it handles.

I'm interested to see how the revised tyres physics, when released, will effect the handling of cars like the RAC + FZ5, two of the hardest cars to master (i'm not even close to that)

Quote from Stiggie :

*snip* Not quite like RBR, which gets quite frustating after a while, because it requires alot of practice and patience.

patience especially when you find a "hole" in a map having strayed only just off the road. God that pissed me off lol
