What a coincidence to see you posting about Spin tires here! I was looking for info on editing DDS files, and google led me back here.
It's quite easy to mod the trucks by manipulating the XML files, my Kamaz currently has balloon tyres, 6x6 with diffs locked, and rear steering.

'Nudder Paddy here, lads, though I'm offline at home for the moment, waiting for eircom to get their collective arses in gear and connect the new house, so I can start racing online again!
Regular Guinness, from the Tap is served at 6ºC, the Extra Cold at 4ºC. Both use different recipes and gas mixtures. Pulling the perfect pint is a bit of an art from, it took me a couple of years to get it right, and I'd probably have to learn all over again if I had to do it today. Pure nectar though!
The stuff in cans and bottles is only muck.

ah, you've been playing this too? the trick is to spend as little as possible each round, and let the interest do the rest... the link above is dead, the original page is at

Mobil, Fujitsu, HP and Allianz don't normally appear as sponsors in the game...
I only had 5 mins for this, might finish it later...
It's the same for me, Decent BB is about €100 p/m as there is no ADSL in my area.
Regarding the True Flame paintjob: it looks good, but it's a bit stretched around the nose. I'd ditch the blue Sylvia lights , maybe yellow would look better? I do like the carbon though.

Oh look, an S3 thread! While I'm here this is what I'd like to see in a future release:
- Graduated unlocking of tracks and cars in Single Player Mode, which can only be used online once it's been unlocked.
- Wider variation of the classes in the school, repeating the same tests over in different cars gets very repetitive.
- Improved audio. Installed CSR last night and I couldn't believe the difference!

I've gotten a few guys in the office hooked on this! It would be nice to get a Line Rider pro, where you could swap and load other's files and collaborate on makin frickin' HUGE stages, and a ski lift to bring you back to the top would be cool too!
I'm with CSU!
I've worked in European Tech Support and most "Continentals" have much better languages skills than we do. I have colleagues here who are fluent in 3 or 4 languages, and it's no big deal! I think a lot of it boils down to exposure, the more you hear the more you pick up!
I've a couple of TT-01s I used to drift, and a selection of mutant M-chassis currently in various configurations, (FWD/RWD/AWD) I love to tinker with them and see what elseI can do to them. I like the idea of the offroad tyres, try locking the diffs as well. ths biggest stumbling block for off road conversions on TT01s are the limited travel of the suspension arms, though some people have cut away at the chassis to get more flex.
There's the making of a decent HoodRide!
I'll give it a go tonight, I prefer a more open course but we';; see what we can do!

Whoa there people, chill out there for 30 seconds. I've just trawled through 3 pages of this thread, and not a single person has said they have bought their ticket, sat down, and watched this movie. That really doesn't qualify you to say much about it.
I went to see this on Friday evening with my girlfriend, and I was pleasantly surprised. While many of you will disagree, I though that it was a much better movie than the previous two. While still not very realistic, it presented a more true to life scenario that the Neon and NAWS fantasy of the last movie. I'm not saying that it was 100% accurate but as a movie about drifting, it was worth the price of admission. I enjoyed the portrayal of Tokyo itself, the lack of space, the colours, the fashions. And though it won't win an Oscar for Best Screenplay, it did have a storyline, with characters, and plot development, and at least some attempt to get the audience to empathise with the cast. There may not be any surprises for guessing where the movie was headed, but it managed to keep my attention for the 90 minutes or whatever. Also worth a mention were the various cameos during the movies, a couple actually made me laugh out loud.
OK, I know nobody in a HULK Touran should be allowed breathe, let alone drive on the public streets, but given more it's an example of the OTT nature of Japanese car modification culture (Bosozuku, anyone?) The same goes for the ganguro fans of the villian,
The sountrack was pretty good too, though that may not be apparent from the d/l'd version.
And surprise, surprise, when we left the cinema, and got into our (FWD) cars, neither of us felt tempted to get sidewayz around the nearest corner. Idiots will behave like idiots no matter what they see, I think movies like this (and the forthcoming Initial) raise the awareness for drifting. Whether that's a good or bad thing I leave to you.
Obviously this film isn't for everyone, but if you are a fan of cars, and have at least a passing interest in drifting, you could do worse than see this movie. Four out of five stars.
Later folkses,

Really great vid, entertaining AND educational!
there's an aussie Tourism Board Q&A that did the rounds a few years ago, that site reminds me a lot of it.
patching to latest ver sorted me out, there were over 60 servers available to m e last night!
I reckon it's a combination of slow (dual ISDN) connection, and the fact I'm only on the Q release. Will patch and test again, thanks for your assistance folks!
Last night (between 9 & 10 GMT) I checked the master server for available S2 server, of the 9 that were listed, I was unable to log onto a single server! All with the error: "did not receive guest info" Do these servers not permit guests?
I went back to the demo servers, seems to defeat the purpose of having a licence if there´s nowhere to race...

Hey folks, just got licenced last night, I had the S1 demo for ages , but I got the S2 demo last week, got promptly hooked again, caved in yeasterday and I hope to improve my laptimes soon! I haven't tried the licenced servers yet, but I think that the impression that there may be fewer people might just be tha there's a bigger range of race types available?
I take it these are still offline? As a relative newbie, I'd like all the help I can get!
