It's definitely from that era of the Starion and 2nd Gen Rx7.

The interior is actually different to any of those cars, and afaik, it is much like a 3000 GT, which is Eric's own car .

I only wished it actually looked that nice!!! *cough*

And thank god for that. If the interior was like that of a 2nd gen rx7, nobody could stand driving one.

I own a FC btw

Quote from wsinda :

Mouse drivers typically use lower braking force in their setups, because you don't want the wheels to lock up when the engine braking is added (i.e. when downshifting).

This won't happen if you can properly rev match. Unless you're talking about the differential locking up, which you can't control without changing the setup.

I haven't driven any car before, but I will be getting my permit soon. But, there is no "bite point" on a clutch. It depends on how fast you take your foot off the clutch. Think about it this way, if the clutch is depressed 50%, and you sit there at 25% throttle, eventually the transmission will be spinning just as fast. By realeasing the clutch pedal more, you are just making the transmission accelerate to the speed of the engine faster.

You are correct. There is not bite point. There is a friction point however. illepall

My brother owned one just like that, was white though. His was 87 or 88 though, but I'm not sure...

Fun car, always slides Nice car, and nice home Psycho... Makes me think you are somewhere in So Cal (EDIT: the plate frame says Sunnyvale, are you that close to me?? )

@bo-kris --- This was the first one, it's fugly!!! http://home.iprimus.com.au/bluey3/miscRx7/redGen1.jpg

Haha, I'm actually from cupertino. I go to school up north (davis). I actually blew an oil line today. Dumped all of it onto the freeway. Took it to the shop and it should be fixed by tomorrow.

Haha, I was actually looking for a starion/conquest way back. But I sort of got caught up with the S5, and decided to go with a S5 TII.

I researched my ass of using rx7club before makin gthe purchase.

Quote from ShannonN :

Does look kinda close doesn't it, nice looking car for its age too

what year is it? 96/98?

It's an 89

Hopefully the seals don't blow on me. I can't really afford an engine rebuild right now.

Ok, maybe not a REAL one. But it's somewhat close is it not?

sounds like a blitz dual drive bov.

My cousin had one, he got so sick of it after a while.

Quote from DORFTA :

not S now T lol only just got tweak yesterday made perfect replications of GTR34, D1GP S15, SR20DET drift car and now the dam T patch has come out and it dont work lol

doh, i would have loved to try these.

so unlock it then

well i actually never thought about this before, but the reason i'm not drifting so much is i am restraining myself...mechanically. I just checked and I happened to be using a viscous lsd. I've been trying to develop a better setup using a clutch pack lsd setup, but with such a setup, I find it much easier to spin the car. It also does not seem to allow for tighter lines for whatever reason. I can get some big drifts going, but at that point, it just changes from a decent show of control into a mad ride for dear life.

In any case, I'm still working on the sets. Most of the video was more of an experiment with the wheel and heel-toe.

And no, I do not use the ebrake. I actually never use it.

Well, I did something like this a while back, but I sorta refined it this time. It's still pretty much a replay but i took some more er..."creative" liberties this time around. I experimented with just a couple of angles at the start and finish, and the music is from Initial D Fourth Stage. The biggest change is that while my previous video was done with the mouse, this was done after my transition to my old momo force.

Supercharger?

parasitic loss.

Plus the idea of supercharged 4 cylinders just makes me laugh.

Quote from bubbles :

So you think drifting is just entertainment, well your wrong, but hey even if you don't like the idea, by doing so you would be reaching a wider audience.

With this accurated physics engine the game is running by then you will be eating square soft "gran turismo" series for breakfast.
But it's up to your ignorance and arrogance, I see this, it's a shame narrow minded people don't.

what the heck? Gran Turismo was developed by polyphony. Squaresoft develops games like...FINAL FANTASY.

Nice music, is that Asian Kung Fu Generation?

neither your vid card nor your processor is able to handle the load that AA exerts on your system

i honestly think it would be AWESOME. But it probably won't happen. You don't know how much fun i would have drifting intersections into a gas station. It would be so stupidly insane, but considering the city is detailed enough, i would literally just cruise around ALL day.

Quote from XCNuse :

either way.. how much fun would it be to race some of these cars on mountain runs? that would be bundles of fun

amazingly fun!

I'm seriously hoping it gets implemented, since I enjoy doing the same thing in real life.

Quote from masternick :

tho i would like to see a drift track based from a real one like nikko i know it's never going to happen

iroha pass is no track, it's a public road.

hmmm, i don't really get excited at open wheel overtakes, or open wheel racing for that matter.

Quote from 50-3 :

WOW, Way to insult the Dislixic kid! hope you fell proud of yourself for calling me out on the resin i was kicket out of School and lost 3 jobs way to go tuf guy!

Hey look at that. You insult somebody unprovoked and when someone calls you out on it, you victimize yourself and try to make others feel guilty. Really mature one you are...

Anyway, what are the terms/conditions of joining [ASS]? I've been racing/drifting lfs for a few years now, since before S1. Just recently tried using my wheel, and I'm loving it. How can I join this team?

the fxr sorta stole my heart, but I would give a lot to have a super lightweight RBR. Not sorta super powerful like the others, but something light and tossable, with enough agility to keep up with the others.

hmmm, looks like it just fixed itself O__O

I did this ... almost 2 years ago now :

Time runs fast !

this wouldn't happen to work in S2 would it?

Quote from XCNuse :

^^ how the ?! how'd you get a PAL version of a game while living in the US...

as for the cost of licensing a track.. expensive.. lol VERY expensive at that. Obviously depending on the track, but you'd be better off going out and buying a dodge viper with that money

btw, any of you british guys, have any of you ever thought of emailing top gear and telling them about LFS? i wonder what they would make of it (obviously people here in the US would never see it.. unfortunately they canceled top gear on the discovery channel last year.. kinda sucks)
obviously now wouldnt be the best time, i would wait a while until the physics are better

there are errr..."resources" on the web that release high def captures of british Top Gear whenever they are released.
