Quote from tristancliffe :Pretty impressive how you managed to avoid that ricer look with your wheels... oh wait a minute...

yah, car is totally ricer. thats why superchevy and hotrod both have contacted me about doing a little writeup on it and drifting but it got shot down both times.

think you fail to realize i genuinely dont care, dont see me following you around in threads..i am slightly flattered though to have a "real racer" trolling in my internetz threadz..lawl.

as someone who
1) doesnt take forums too cerally
2) PREACHES that lfs is just a video game

this thread is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too serious for my blood. some of you people need to lighten up and realize not everyone plays lfs with hopes of being michael schumacher, and some people genuinely dont care, they just wanna play video games.

im not the best car builder tuner on earth, never claimed to be, but after having my tonsils removed and being told to sit inside ways of resolving my immense boredom get thought of, and i posted one.

but seriously, it blows my mind if any of you actually do any real racing because of how much you seem to care about your e-persona. i knew this guy once, he told the same story about how he won a spec race at road atlanta in 1987 and he was the rain man. its 2008 and he tells that story every day. he posts on the internet like some of you do. hes smart and all, but he just takes shit wayy too seriously.

this thread srsly blows me away how cereal it is.

Quote from southamptonfc :F1 teams test components and setups in simulators. I don't see why consumer sims can't or wont eventually be used in the same way.

simple thought pattern for an intendedly somewhat simple idea, i like it!

seriously, this thread is about "hey i want to play with settings, but maybe get an idea on changing things on my real car, it'd be kinda nifty if i could plug something similar to my real car onto lfs to play with in e-racing land, maybe i could even learn something from playing with it on here since fundemental rules will be consant with real life more than likely."

this thread is about....ok i just doubled my spring rate.

this thread is not about OMG SAVE .0001 SECOND PER LAP IRL BY PLAYING VIDEO GAMES

its about playing with things for ideas. ever wonder "what if i did this radical setup" or "what if i wanted to make my car jump"

well, know you miiiiight have a basic fundemental idea. THAT is what this thread/idea is about.

Quote from tristancliffe :The effects of radical changes are well documented in books, websites and paddock folklore. There is no need to use LFS (or any other simulator) to tell you that doubling the stiffness of your front springs will increase understeer.

But you weren't talking about radical changes, if you read this part of your post, QFT.

theres this thing called "selling an idea". you should read about it since thats your forte.

i mean...then again....why use a decent physics engine to play around when bored when you can be glued to a book 24-7 and have nothing to play around with?

i was really dissapointed by death proof and i thought it sucked. i bought this movie the night it came down, sat down with girlfreind and watched it. both of us were less than impressed.

i dont really know where one is. the gimp copy i had had the X font and i just used some italicized and streched font for the AT part of it, and racing is just a generic font. and that was on another computer somewhere, idont even remember where.

thanks tristian for reading way too far into my post to make a lame personal attack.

all anyone has to do is look at my posts to see how i fully understand and preach that this is a video game and nothing like real life, althought for a video game its pretty damn good. but nice try.

for physics/exaggeration sake this would be nice to see the effects of radical changes since it shows data.

eh, ill just take some pictures of it once it gets repainted. its kinda taken apart and broken a lot of ways right now.

front bumper, center is dunlop, next out is magnacharger, next out is xatracing. dunlop theres only one theres dual of the others.

on the sides of the front bumper its flowmaster , a speed fetish logo under that, and a bmagic logo under that. www.bmagicaero.com , www.speedfetishperformance.com for those logos

above the tire on the front is dunlop, and a magna charger behind that on the back edge of the front fender,

down the sideskirt front to back its MHT Wheels, equus guages, spectre performance, drive shaft shop, flowmaster, lingenfelter performance engineering, then painless performance wiring logos.

on the side of the backbumper bottom to top its sixspeedsinc.com , aitracing.com , zoom performance clutch.
i dont really remember the back. i think there were xat logos above the tail lights on the trunk, and a dunlop logo between them. and there was a flowmaster sticker on the bottom edge of the bumper, there were two tailpipes on one side and a flowmaster sticker on te other.

think thats it.

i use lfs as a way to waste time. im just curious if i could learn anything from the physics engine.

Quote from LFSn00b :No, Smoke slider would be way too unrealistic, but i agree on more smoke

the reasoning for that was for online to keep people with slower computers happy. they can turn the smoke down to quicken up things.

i was more or less trying to inquire about rfactor but didnt know if i was allowed to make a thread asking about a competing game...

lol, it blows my mind if any of you have jobs with how much i time yall spend on here.
what other games do you play besides lfs?
mikespeed95
S2 licensed
lfs is an awesome game, but i'd like to play some other ones too.

anyone have any reccomendations onany racing forums for pc stuff?

anyone know any other games as versatile as lfs? like on lfs you can drift pretty decently, the races are good, and theres a good variety of cars. are there any other games like this too?

the real reason is beasue theres a supercharged v8 under the hood that due to the oilpan design doesnt really clear the stock hood.

i had several options but i alwasy thought that a hood like that would be cool on an s chassis and make mine look different and more like a muscle car like i wanted it too.

i like the way my car looks other than the ride height and the overall beat-upness of it and thats all that really matters. if you build a car do it for yourself not to fit in.

i tried to undersand lfstweak but my sheer computer ignorance i didnt really get it.

just like a sled car with a boxes you could add to represent car parts and assign wieght and measurement values to them so if you had time and a tape measure you could build your car on it to tune.

maybe even a server option to allow custom rails. that would be some interesting fun.

100000hp 5 lb car versues 10000000lb 1000000hp car. haha. wouldnt be the purpose but would be a little fun.

because its my car and thats what i felt like doing. it also sounds like a stock car, and rolls on gigantic chrome foose wheels, just like i like it.

that'd be cool for users to select on their own while online as to waht they see.

+1 on smoke slider if possible.
