*sigh*

You said every thing needed when you said you want a boy racer car!

haha I was quoting you, thats not my personal oppinion at all.

and yea I know its not that expensive but again im lazy and 0 dollars and 40 dollars is quite different when you dont have a job

Quote from Shotglass :

maybe a proper competition drift machine could be incentive enough for them to finally get licensed

I like that idea, something that actually could look "boy racer" and spit smoke more like real would be cool, and yea I'm a lazy cheapo who'd rather save for a nice real car =\

Quote from Woz :

And I will ask these again as I never get an answer whenever I have asked this of a drifter....

Q) What does it matter WHAT the car LOOKS like as long as the balance and power are right?

Q) Is it not possible to win a drift comp in a stock looking car?

Your right, drifting is about skill, the better you are is determined by ,well, how good you are at it. Your point is fine and dandy, but I mean think about it; you don't date a chick that looks like sadam hussien just because she's good in bed do you?

It's not that I think LFS should go all 2F2F NFS ricergay and be all drifting, not at all. I just want a car that looks as nice as it goes, thats all =]

Quote from Woz :

Yep there is a world apart between tuning and rice but in reality both, at present have no place in LFS at present. If you can tune a cars performance then you get into a tuning arms race because who wants to race a car with X bhp when you can tune it to have Y bhp.

People already say the Turbo and the GTR classes need more balance so imagine what tuning will do if introduced.

The main difference I see between tune and rice is...

• Rice = form over function.
  
• Tune = function over form.

Lets face it, many race spec body kits can be as ugly as rice kits. The difference being that every square inch of a full race spec body kit has a function for aero improvements, weight reduction and drag reduction. A rice body kit on the other hand takes none of those into account, all that matters is looks.

The reason I hate rice is that in NZ you can drive from 15 years old WITHOUT insurance. Its rice heaven here with loads of stupid morons that think performance is 17" rims, a 5" mufler, a car dropped as low as it will go and loads of bolted on plastic makes a car great.

WOW that was a nice mouthfull . well I agree to a point, but noone on earth said function has to be ugly, function, as jamexing said, really looks hot anyway so just because I'm thinking solely on looks doesnt make it rice, its taste.
(and on the note of NZ ricers, you dont have to worry, I'm from america where we have to pay even for the non-visible stuff, so I dont have the luxury of getting to try to rice a car )

and by bodykit, not jsut a bumper, but a widebody or sommat like that would be nice (not like the XRR's that is).

Quote from bbman :

You're talking about ricing... But LfS is a racing simulator...

and in racing aerodynamics is one of the main things on cars, and in real life people change their cars to make them better. Something like dusty said would be cool.

And idea means its a personal oppinion, you dont have to like it or agree with it, or even read it.

Anyhow whats with the -1 BS, thats just plain moronic illepall

Quote from BlakjeKaas :

What manga base was that from? or is it from scratch?

btw, it looks like a XRR (=race version of XRT), requesting an existing car will not get you many +1's (I guess)

so -1

well new car is just a fancy guise to post only that for a new topic, things like aero parts and stuff like that where you could pick n choose would moreso be the idea.

and my pall dennis who made that tune also did a base, but he remade it for that tune.

theres the older one for anyone who cares

get S2 first then u get some new cars
sorry, but i just dont like to see demo racers request more content

its fine but 40 bucks doesn't make anyone above/below wanting things better, and I've played S2 and all, this was just an idea that I thaught was a new approach if they had it more erm customizable (for lack of sounding FnF, NFS noobish )

true, but a whole new model wouldn't be a fast thing to make nessicarily.

a friend of mine made this concept tune of a more tough XRT and I thaught for S3, this would be a nice touch, almost like the GT3 to a 911 or something of that nature.

he's working on side and rear views of it as well, will post if anyone is interested.
