He wasn't saying that.

He was saying that just because a car is RWD doesn't instantly make it a drift car.

its only how its driven, on the given surface, with the given tuning, in the given envoirment.

i thought it was all understud but clearly it isn't.

obviously a 500 hp s13 will have a better time sideways then a 180-200 hp corrolla but at the same time, id take the 86, not because its the underdog but because their a very very fun car to drive, without going sideways and their more or less built for ITB's

The only clubs I go to are strip clubs. Then I'm guaranteed grinding, and a conversation with a stripper! Well, the grinding comes at a price, the conversation doesn't.

Quote from Becky Rose :

It's a bit early to have any solid plans for next year yet.

I would like to produce a new game, i've been talking to my brother for years about getting the studio back together again but it never quite happens. Earlier tonight I installed a new 3D engine because I thought i'd have a play with it but it wouldnt work on my PC because my graphics card is so old. Perhaps my first goal for 2011 should be to get a new PC so that I can cultivate new ideas! Because the hardware i've got right now isn't suiteable for development of anything more complicated than web and simple GUI apps, or very crude 3D.

I would like to produce a new LFS broadcast league - but i've been wanting to do that for the last couple of years in the full knowledge that i'll likely never get around to it. There's just so much more I never did with my last series that could be done to really set a new standard, but I just don't have the motivation for it, or the hardware to realise it (my PC cant run LFS with 6 cars let alone a pack of 30). I do some coding ocassionally to move the idea forward but the project needs an injection of passion and motivation that just isnt there for me in LFS at the moment.

I'm definitely going overseas again, I just don't know when or where. I may go back to the Netherlands as i've a few friends out there and I love the place, but Ireland, Italy and New York are also options.

I'd love to return to the race track. I dont want the hassle/expense of owner driving anymore so i'm keen to compete in the DMax kart series which runs an ironman series at different circuits around the country using rental Rotax's, which is about as quick a kart as one is going to find with rentals. The series really appeals to me, but I dont have the budget.

My finances have gone a bit wayward toward the end of this year, and although i've not built up debts - on the contrary, i've almost cleared them - but I am really struggling for Christmas. I'm absolutely confident things will start to improve for me in January but I really don't know how much better things will get.

A lot of how well I do next year is down to how successful I can make the company I work for. A substantial payrise or a change of jobs is definitely on the cards this coming year as I know i'm underpaid for my skillset and i'm in a very employable position. I was headhunted twice last year so i'm hopeful for a good year in 2011 - although i'm already all too aware how quickly things can change. If I lost my job i'd be homeless in weeks as i've no buffer.

seen it before...

its not the Best thread ever but its a good warm up.

the nsx forum pedophile is much better imho

Quote from RasmusL :

I, for one, welcome our new alien racing overlords.

i, for one, cant wait to see all the wreakers drift off into space screaming " ffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuu " for real...

Quote from Hahmo :

I have never seen such cars in Dublin in the past 2 years..

Really ? thats strange... because theirs always the annual pheonix park races where they all go, Regular club meets and many many mad men with too much money in such a small space ( dublin is tiny imho ) that you really never are too far from a weapon ( i.e, 300+ bhp mkII escort with a novice pilot... crash waiting to happen )

Quote from RasmusL :

That AE86 can barely move itself. The biggest 1.6L 4A-GE had 112 bhp when it was brand new. It's become a cult car, but not for being particularly good...

would you ever f*** off.

it was not fast, but still by standards here it was nippy enough and no. the AE86 did not only have 112 hp, thats the AE85.

86 had 127 bhp standard here ( on our fuel anyways ) with the only major difference between the two being interiors, lsd and most 85's came with a shitty 1.5 where as the 86 had a 1.6

most 85's where converted to 86's when imported because... well its hard enough to tell the difference,

but getting back to the point on top; you must remember that places such as rieland where poor during the 80's and well this was a fast car if you could afford it, not only that but they where still rare enough bar rallying due to the fact we generally got the FWD + carinas.

Though still they gave seirras, escorts and most everything you can name a good run for their money for the price of them. They are relyable and predictable cars, whats not to love ?

the 1.6 4age sounds lovely on ITB's/cammed so you really cant complain ( unless your my old instructor who haven been a major toyota fan all his life used to go bat shit at me for liking old corrollas over his lovely Mk1 celica + MK 3 supra )

Its understandable why people like them but then again they are poxy boxy c**** that get treated poorly, tuned badly and still get a great rep that will outlive them.

Still i'd own one not a bother if i could get one at none cult prices... but they are loved here, much like e30 bmw's and mk2 golks, eg civics etc etc

i had sex with a fat girl on an elevator....

it was wrong on so many levels..

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

I believe that trumps you, sir.

nah arox will be here any second with a funny picture...

seems like fun, will grab it later and waste a few mins on it as ive only gotten back into snooker/pool lately and its a seriously under rated game

Quote from Hotdogxx60 :

If only LFS could supply the content of GT, it would be a perfect world. But one has to wonder at what took so long and Kaz need to put some sort of feed back board in the game so that people that have actually paid and played the game can tell him were his going wrong, does anyone like the museum cards.

museum cards is a nice touch imho; the presentation of Gt is one of the things i look forward to ( though normally the overly dressed up shit that most games produce annoys me ) theirs something about the whole lay out and config + music and it all clicks together nicely.

but the game needs Alot of work and patching.

thank god PSN is half decent these days ( but still needs work, i give my PS full internet and still struggle to top 5 mbps )

supposed to snow here thought tbh im too close to the sea to fully get the knock from it But shall be down the country ( mid lands ) so i should be more then able to spin out at 5 mph no bother...

I think PD need to sit down and take a long hard look at what they've produced.

not until they count their profits...

their a business...

end of.

Quote from FPVaaron :

Forza drifts for you and at impossible angles not to say it isn't fun but it isn't as realistic as GT5, I put over 100 hours into Forza I know my way around it pretty well.

The AI in forza aren't as "stupid" but they're made easy to beat just like the whole game is, try driving the same car as an AI and you will some how be faster on the straights even when not drafting

If you hate the GT AI so much just go race online

dont...

all you get is " why do you have all the assists off you f***** noob "

the game overall is fun, miles from realisitic But its a step in the right direction, snow drifting is the best part of it ( track creator with the corners made as wide and difficult as possible )

ive met a few in the last while...

the Black english guy from the sheild or the force ? ( forget his name )

mattie holland ( ex ireland and premier league footballer )

most of the irish rugby team ( they where in dublin for a " prostate awareness " campaigne ? either way... their all alot bigger then they look...

Quote from danowat :

What about those that play both then?

wasting their money, its all a waste of money in the greater scheme of things but we Have to put up with it.

i shall have both ( currently have forza... no comments needed ) and well, i know i will never be Fully happy with either without nitt-picking like most posters; though at the same time... i just wanna get in the bay window and do the ring, i wanna rally a dc5 around london without dyin of understeer and most importantly of all, i wanna go into a kart race with no assists and listen to controller fags scream " traction FTWWWWWWWWWWWW STOP HIDING ! " or equally amusing, 24 hours of the fiat 500.

Quote from SidiousX :

We don't keep weapons " for the purpose of hurting people" We have them for other uses, target shooting, hunting, etc. We just keep the at hand in case of an emergency.

what if you shoot to kill an un-armed theif or simular....

sure you might be doing the right thing but still you risk serious jail time ( any jail time is serious imho - you never take me alive... )

for all the hassle they cause their not worth it.

homer simpson and " the defender " are a much Much better option

Quote from danowat :

I have heard that you can actually do a background install, where it will install content as required, rather than doing it all before you start playing.

have you heard that by todays and tech standards that the ps3/wii/xbox are already years out of date ??

and infact that they should upgraded/changed every year or two to keep up but unlike pc's cant be done*

* ps3 can have HD changed.Their the same as laptops



tbh it'll be fun for those who enjoy it, those who dont.. play forza... if you dont play either... your fcuked. End off.
