Quote from Tim-MTM-Drift :you can use the nissan skyline for racing too

And you can't use the GTR for drifting. So why even want it?

And if we're getting a GTR, sorry, i don't want a 'fake', drift one. And i'm not against drifting, i just want the original car.

Quote from MAGGOT :I can't see any manufacturer getting into LeMans Prototypes and not going to LeMans. It just wouldn't make sense. Not going this year makes sense, but not going next year doesn't.

It doesn't make sense to not go to leamsn this year.

On wet roads, gravel and snow, most ABS systmes will be too intrusive and stop you later. A friend of mine barely stopped on a gravel downhill because of the ABS.

Quote from Becky Rose :o.O
I think that shows that F1 has been so frivolous in the past, I dont think blankets need to cost £2200 per set, even if they do.

Ferrari has been using the same set(s) for quite a long time, may bu up to 10 years now.

GT1 as a class is dead, IIRC GT2 will take over as a single GT category since only the DBR9 and C6.R were racing in the GT1 class. Lack of competition (well, it was competitive, but cmon, 4 cars?) and higher expenses lead it to the death. No problem really, since we have F430 GT2, 911 GT3 RSR, V8 vantage GT2 and Corvettes are being modified to fit into GT2 regulations.

Where the hell di anyone say they don't want BMW road cars? E30 M3 DTM FTW!! And E46 M3 GTR or E92 M3 GT2. I don't really care.

Quote from BlueFlame :Well Toyota have the biggest ammount of money, do THEY challenge Ferrari or McLaren? No. Money means JACK. Actually...

Ah, you see, you're basicly saying 'money can't buy happiness'. So it can't amke that and get you to win races. But on the other hand there is no possible way to win races in F1 or to be trully, genuinely happy withoug a penny. Well, the latter is much easier than F1 victories, but you get my point.

Limit the XFG to 1,1 litres and 55 bhp and enjoy MY pain, complete with the correct interior.

So, in the end, that probably is only a shock with 10 notches?

And i am aware of the differences in high and low speed settings. Not much from cars since i haven't actually tinkered with them but you can draw a lot of paralels from the mountainbiking world (i suspect).

Quote from Christopher Raemisch :http://www.modernperformance.c ... _359&products_id=1552

There is a coilover that has 32 settings, though still singly adjustable, IE bound and rebound cannot be adjusted separately.

I thought a slow compression/rebound setting meant that the shock would not take as much energy from the spring as fast as a 'faster' setting?

32 setting meaning it has 32 notches? I don't see that as a 32-way adjustable shock, correct me if i'm wrong though. If i am, i have an infinetly adjustable fork on my bike since the rebound knob doesn't have notches, it just turns a few circles and that's it (if i remember correctly, normally there are clicks on these settings just so they don't move on their own).

And the reason to have high and low speed compression and rebound is to tune suspension behaviour separately for braking and track settings - low speed is in affect when braking (normally, setting it to harder will mean less squat on the front) and high speed when going over bumps (setting it on harder is usefull on smoother tracks but will make the car jupy on bumbier tracks).

Quote from chanoman315 :so if you have a glamorous name you'll win? i dont think so, besides, Telmex is just the sponsor and maybe it will be named Honda Telmex team, just like Mclaren Mercedes with Santander and Ferrari with Vodafone.
And if he invests a good money in the team, like getting good technology, staff and those things I think they'll be competitive.

Wrong, Mclaren with Vodafone, Ferrari has no affiliation with Santander (as far as i know and if it still doesn't, it's yet. They want in under the condition to go in togheter with Alonso).

Yeah, i'm aware of the difference in low and high speed something (rebound/compression).

But still, 10-way?!?

EDIT: googling for 6-way adjustable shock gave me a result of a drifter selling a coilover kit where the 6-way stood for 6 stiffness settings (???), since he said he used it in the '1' setting for daily driving since that was the softest. This is totaly weird since the damper has no effect on stiffness (appart from making the (high speed) compression soooo slow that running over a hole gives you no movement at all, that would be incredibly stiff).

I was browsing through the Ariel Atom site earlier today 8well, looking at the local time, it was yesterday) and saw a 10-way adjustable shock upgrade. How the hell is this thing adjustable then? 10 notches on a setting or 10 settings??? I'm used to mountainbike suspension where an RC2 cartridge means rebound low and high speed compression setting (hence R and C2). Would this be a 3-way adjustable shock then? Or am i missing something?

The pound actually fell, since 1 € is now about 0,9 and it used to 0,7 pounds. Used to being 2 months ago.

No, it is not. Ferrari or McLaren are to F1 a lot more like what Subaru was for rallying rather than Honda. And it is a sad day, yes.

It's Volkswagen Audi GROUP. Neither own the other. Appart from Porsche, which owns them both. VAG owns Bugatti, Bentley, Škoda, Seat, itd.

Quote from duke_toaster :The current GTR cars are more akin to FIA GT2 cars in performance. My suggestion is to use modified versions of the current GTR cars to create a new GT1 class. This is based on an idea on Wheel4Hummer's idea in the LFS Tweak thread.

Guideline specifications for all cars

Power : ~625 horsepower
Weight : Unsure, presumably about the same weight
Traction control : Possible on one or two cars.

FX1 : 3 litre I6 turbo.
XR1 : 3 litre V6 turbo
FZR : 3.2 litre boxer 6 turbo.

Future expansion room would be cars based on any supercars.

If you go the I/V6 route, i'd say switch them around. The XR being an FR is far more suited to an I6 design than the FXR, which is AWD. THere the engine could be mounted transversly if it was a V6.

Oooookay, bbman, that was slightly misleading Never had, doesn't have and never will have KERS is correct.

But yeah, in a game it's just a push to pass button. In real life it's a step to a lower fuel consumption and stuff, but since we have virtual fuel and all of that, IMO we really don't need KERS. As it was said, it'd be just like a rechargable NOS. And don't come around explaining it doesn't use nitrous oxide, i'm well aware of the technologies used in a KERS (more so in a mechanical or flywheel KERS than an electrical, but it's basicly a no brainer too).
