I'm just dreaming

That guy is dropping a few wheels off a cliff for god sake

WOW! That thing looks real. It is as if someone actually took a photo of it. great job!

Quote from kRaZeD :

I think your problem is that you just don't have a big enough sound system.

Yea... an 80 Watt 5.1 system kinda sucks. I am eventually going to get a better one that actually takes advantage of a good sound card.
But still, the sound level is really low in the vid.

Yeah, the sound is THAT low I have to crank my sound up to 100% before it comes close to normal.

I get this ONE dream about 5 times a year (The freakiest thing when it happens). Well all I can remember of it is being happy walking along on a nice smooth surface then two guys start chasing me then the ground gets all lumpy then it feels like I can't move, my legs give out, I try to scream but nothing happens, I can't move anything but my eyes at this point then... I wake up with EVERYTHING on the floor and my head is where my feet were when I fell asleep. I am completely soaked and shaking really bad when I wake up too.

It freaks me out when I get that. Anyone think that is messed up?
Any ideas on how to avoid them?

Yea, There is a switch that makes you hold the clutch down to start the car. I just take a piece of wire and short it out so I don't have to do it anymore. It damages your crankshaft, bearings, clutch, and a few other things as well. It goes along with holding the clutch in while at a stop. I wish I still had the crankshaft to show you guys but doing that wears a big ass groove in the end of it.

actually might look neat. Might not see them on my FZ skin either

This video is GREAT! Well done

Oh boy.. I got a good one for ya. Just happened today. There is about three wrecks here and all before T1. I think I got the worst one. Into a wall at 250kph. (You might want to block out what I say if you make a video out of it) They all appear to be from people not paying attention or just trying to avoid the carnage.

Anyhoo, here it is. You guys have GOT to watch this from many different views and in slow mo, especially the one involving me ([CD]skstibi)

This video is absolutely great. I wish my brakes on my FZ5 glowed like that....

I have had this strange thing happen a few times. I watch a replay after racing (press 1) then I go to restart, it gets stuck in blue screen, then I try to restart again and end up in the AI car fighting the AI trying to control the same car. In this case the cars even swapped color. I had a black XRT and the AI had a yellow FZR, after this happened the FZR was black and the XRT was yellow.
This has happened in patch U, V, and now W.

Edit: apparently I can't reset with the AI car either. Haha, does not fix when you restart either...

Interesting... I have that same wheel sitting around so I will try to see if I can get it to work.

How about auto clutch being enabled while I have selected manual clutch in training mode?

I personally cannot stand rolling starts during a race. I like just taking off as hard as you can and only have the pace car out when someone crashes, stalls, or leaks fluid all over the track.

We need some more Street cars also.

new Audi S4: Well.. An addition to the LRF class... (who says is has to stay RWD? AWD is good just no FWD )
2006 Volkswagen GLI: Give the FXO some sort of competition.
The Volkswagen R32 would be cool
New Porsche 911 and the GT3 RS
Can't forget the Saleen S7 or the Holden Commodore SS

LX8 DAMNIT!!!!!!!

That would be cool but with the option of having a real human driver since the AI can't hold a steady speed or go fast without doing something dumb.

That is a great setup, I would love to do that..

P.S, I thought you were wearing some sort of a helmet for a minute until you turned your head

Quote from FOGlegsy :

Yes the XT 500 has a decompresser that opens once you try to kick it up,
i remember as my friend used to own one as a field bike and it nearly snapped my leg a few times as my foot slipped of during kicking it up,

Yeah. The only problem is that my dads TT500 has one and I need to find one for mine because it hurts like hell when it kicks back and it almost breaks your leg. That or my personal favorite your foot slips off and the kick starter smacks the back of your leg leaving the biggest welt on the planet.

It is a very useful thing to have, it also seconds as a engine brake. Well, flame thrower too if you have a muffler like my dads.

Well, I am rebuilding my bike right now but I will post a pic of what it should look like after I am done. That beast has some serious power, I mostly ride it offroad and it is scary as hell but hey, that is what makes it fun right?

I bought the thing a few years ago and just rebuilt the engine and did minor work. Now it is time to do the rest since I found a few cracks in the frame that need welding.
Well, this is the closest I could find.. Mine just has a 1976 gas tank.

Just looking for pictures I found a 86 that looked kinda neat then remembered that I had a tank from one I think I will put it on, the current one is 30% bondo anyway.

Off topic:
I just realized that almost every motorized thing that I have owned has had massive ammounts of power. My first bike was a 1980 yamaha YZ50 with a big ol' 80 engine stuck on it.
Second bike (1980 yamaha YZ80) we milled the head, put a 8th over Forged wiseco racing piston in it (making it 85CC), Boysen power reeds, K&N performance air filter, and we had to get a RK racing chain to reduce stretching when I hit that powerband and the front tire went straight up. Still have that one...
Third Bike, The XT500 above.. Wiseco Forged racing piston, performance carb and that was about enough. I figured since it has almost broken my leg a few times starting it I was done with trying to make it worse.

My car.. Good god. 1997 Audi A4 quattro 2.8 with somewhere from 400-500hp (I will put it on a dyno some day). Twin turbo, forged pistons, chipped, injectors, intake, fuel pump, throttle body, Well the list is huge so... The point is that it hauls some serious butt. it is beyond FXR fast.

I would love tweak on W. The sound has far less distortion making it sound muuuuch better.

I have just one word for this...

FINALLY!!!!!!

Yeah, I know.. if you spectate the car you were in or the car of the person that the replay is from you can go faster but at points the frame rate slows way down and it resets to regular speed.

yea, this has bugged me for a long time. I look in the mirror and I don't have much of an idea how far away the person is unless I turn the drivers head. but by turning the head I can't see ahead of me and that can cause a ruined race.

I think that engine tuning should be part of it. I have to tune my car for the racing season and change it back when it is over so I can drive the car on long trips.

YES!! I really need this option. Jeez. I hate having to FF 50 laps but can't do it because the FPS drops to 4 when I hit 32X then resets to normal speed.
