Quote from DevilDare :

See, the thing that annoys me a bit is that they get to drive the Scirocco already. Why shouldnt we? I see people replying now with comments like "Yes you can dirve it but its buggy blah blah blah..." Well thats what the TEST patches are for gods sake..... You dont have to release the whole patch yet, but why not put the car on a new test patch? I dont care if i wouldnt be able to play online, i dont care if the game crashed every 5mins..... But it atleast would show that is being worked on. Whereas now we just hope and speculate it is....... God knows what teh devs are doing.....

I am no whiner, its just that seeing the Scirocco everywhere makes me wonder why it isnt out.

I agree.

Not bad I suppose..

Hmm,that picture is as old as the internet. I remember seeing that when I was like 10. Definitely not a 93 either,I smell bullshit. Proof please.

Another Irish guy here.

My gamertag is Glanzarog. Add me if you want..

I wrecked mine spectacularly just there before christmas.
Me and my mates had been out with another mates R/C car earlier that day and after we broke that we decided we'd go look at mine.
The clutch was gone on it so it just idled and didn't move at all.
I decided to just start it up to see if the clutch had magically fixed itself but it hadn't so I decided to just let the fuel waste idling.
So after about 5-10 mins idling the revs go right up to the top and I could do nothing to stop it.
It was just sitting there revving itself to death.
My friend went over to try put his foot over the exhaust but it had spun around and was pointing in a different direction( the fuel tank ).
Then,the manifold decides to just literally snap in half and fall on the ground.
We still couldn't see this because it was dark.
Then blue and orange flames started shooting out from where the manifold was.
2 of my friends decided to run away and hide behind a wall at this point.
Then a guy comes out of his house (remember this is 8-9pm) and shouts "turn that ****ing yoke off".
We reply with "do you want to try?"
Anyway and about 2-3 mins of shooting flames it just stops running with about 1/4 of a tank still left in it.

We knew it was wrecked so we took it apart in my back garden.
Everything was seized together and the screws were really hard to get out and the piston was stuck to the cylinder thing.
Never knew these yokes could shoot flames,it was cool.
Still have all the radio gear which will do for another project!

I'll take pics of the pile of engine later,it's still there...

With regards to the CLC server alone:

Or at least stop letting every random n00b in.
At least try and get them to read the site first.

Every second person in there seems to be saying "OMG LYK TEH BANKZ IZNT WORKINGZ WHYYYYYYYYY?!!?!?!!!!111?" or "OMG I DNT HAV ANY MONEYZ".


I am admin in there by the way and even I've lost the head...

Quote from Stew2000 :

So what really happened to that cooper? O.o

It was my first shell so naturally it got a bit wrecked.
The I decided to try the car in a field but the bumper was catching in the grass and making the car stop,so I cut the front off it.



Edit,more pics:

Thought I had other pics but I don't.

Currently needs:
Clutch
Driveshaft thing
A screw for the servo

It's winter though so I'm not fixing it,don't really want to stand outside in the freezing cold while kids from all over the neighbourhood come and watch me.
It's crazy,everytime I take the car out they just seem to appear and start jumping out infront of it.
Really annoying!

I'm 14,15 very soon!

Sounds good to me,I'd be up for it.

Here you go.

Finally got this yoke working.
Nice job Becky.

Quote from Michael Denham :

I'd say if you're getting your first wheel, you can't go wrong with a cheap refurbished DFP. My Dad got one off Ebay for half what I paid for mine, and it feels nicer to use than mine! It won't set you back much, and is a perfectly good wheel. Then if you decide you want something more in a while you can think about that a bit later.

The G25 sounds good, if the pedals and shifter feel decent I might go for one of those when the price has come down a bit...

Thanks for replying but I think I'll wait and get the G25.
I'll regret it if I don't...

Quote from Jakg :

no, £160

That's a bit better,thanks.
I'm going to bed,completely knackered.
Cya.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

The G25 looks like being a bit special, it's a tough call. The DFP is a great wheel though and well worth the money, you could always sell it on to a mate when you get your G25 and get him/her into LFS at the same time! I might end up doing exactly that myself, assuming the aforementioned mate isn't going to buy a G25 himself, which he might...



NDA - Non-disclosure agreement. Basically a legal requirement to keep your trap shut.

Thanks for replying but I don't really fancy buying two wheels.
I have a friend who's half into LFS but he's tight with his cash so I doubt he'd buy a used DFP.

Quote :

I'd like a new wheel while the Logitech Momo Force works well does its job etc the lure of a clutch pedal and H shifter makes one yearn for the likes of the G25, but the price is just way to high

If its gunna be 300 quid in the UK I am scared to think of the converted price here in Oz, somewhere in the $480 bracket I think, thats too much for me to spend on any computer sim/game etc

I can oly imagine how hard it is for a 14 yr old, (employed or not) to get big money for high priced items, I guess your still at school or should be?) and is there no 'paper boy type jobs or letterbox delivery stuff you can do to help?

Good luck with you quest, I'd say go for the G25, go door knocking and ask for a 50p donation from al the locals, tell em what you race and need and assure them, that donation will keep you off the streets away from bad influences, drugs, alcohol etc, never know it may actually work and get you a few bob.

Cheers ShannonN

It's going to be £300?
Oh no,that means it will probably be around €450,almost the price of my petrol r/c car.
I can't really get a job at this stage,it's the summer holidays so all the jobs have been taken.
Thanks for replying.

Quote from Jakg :

if you can afford the G25, DO IT! its $300, some-one on this forum has one (beta testing it), but a stupid DMA (right acroynm?) wont let him say what he thinks of it except "good"

i am also an unemployed 14 year old, for one more day! then im a unemployed 15 year old! big change! anyway, i am lining up a buyer for my kidney to get my G25!

The selling kidney bit seems like a good idea.
Thanks for the input.
Happy early birthday.

I really need to buy a wheel because I'm sick of using the keyboard.
I can't decide if I should wait for the G25 or buy a DFP or MOMO.
I could get the DFP or MOMO a lot sooner,I wouldn't be getting the G25 until Christmas(the perks of being an unemployed 14 year old).
I don't really know if the G25 will be good,the DFP and MOMO have pretty much proven themselves to be good wheels.
The DFP and MOMO are around €130 in Ireland and I reckon the G25 will be €300+.
I don't even know if the G25 will be available in Ireland,I know where to buy the DFP and MOMO though.
Basically,I wondering if I should wait for the G25 or buy a DFP or MOMO.
Opinions would be appreciated,
Wantanabe.

I'd consider OggDrop as the best OGG converter.

Was just about to ask that,thanks.

Quote from ShannonN :

The interior on the newer model RAC irl is blue. it has a new motor and lots of changes, I'm hoping Tege will talk Scawen into uppin the specs to the latest model, I have a short email interview with Mikko about the newer model and how it drives etc, what changes are due.

He states he has driven the current LFS S2 RAC and it compares well to the real life 2002 model etc etc

I hope they release the new one sometime,blue interior sounds cool.

Oops,sorry.

Me and a few people didn't like the red interior in the RAC so I made this.
Simple to do but I hope it helps.
