Yea i doubt you would have much luck with a 5 year old xbox but it could come in handy when all these new Slim 360's start to break at 13 months old.

Also, if u hadnt opened it and still had the reciept, U could have possibly got an exchange under consumer protection laws n etc etc. A warranty is like a goodwill gesture but the thing is still expected to last a certain length of time and a console or electronic stuff is supposed to last at least 5 years.

U need 2 different sizes of torx bits to get the motherboard out. I got 1 o those small screwdrivers with 6 different bits in the handle for £4 in Halfords, It had all the right sizes.

Also i wouldnt worry too much about the x-clamps until it rrod. If u hammer the case flat a bit it makes the heatsinks much tighter anyways, The x-clamps are there just to keep the heatsinks in place when the things getting built.

What u need to do is hammer the holes the heatsink screws go thru flat or push then more outwards.

The case is designed wrong and the heatsink isnt held on with any pressure so if u hammer the holes flat it will increase the pressure. Along with some decent thermal paste, not the chewing gum type crap M$ uses should fix it up great. Will keep the rrod away longer too...

Theres no way M$ will be able to detect the fix so i wouldnt worry about it. Ive fixed loads of different problems with 360's and none have been banned from LIVE.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorola_FONE_F3 - Back lit keypad, F**k yea...

and Sony w580 with 1/2 a screen for work.

Nokia N96 for play when i can be bothered to get a new charger.


Im due an upgrade soon so might get a win7 phone or touchscreen Nokia Idk.

Win7P seems cool but it looks like its turning into the next iphone where the most common basic phone functionality will maybe eventually get patched into it years after release, If ever.

Yay flash support. Just like proper smart phones of the last 4 years. Suppose it makes having wifi worth it since it can actually use the real internet instead of just the text bits. Since more price and tech = more freedom and choice?

Meh, Im not too keen on fantasy fiction...

Are u on about doing a burnout or getting the car on 2 front wheels when braking?

Is it not even older in America to drink?.. Must suck being a kid until 21, Tho more than a few play on this fact...

The tyre model atm is poor as no car would ruin the tyres in 3-5 laps, Especially a standard 100-200bhp car..

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

Is it actually worth the install or not? I could delete a load of stuff if installing makes a noticeable improveent

Its said that it 1/2's loading times tho it still access the disc plenty. Its worth it imo as the loading times are still long after the install so would take ages without.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Um, not sure if it's a bug, a corrupt save, or just the difficulty suddenly ramping up?

I'm on level 15, and need ~20k points to reach level 16. But I'm sure my points went to 0, and it's taking an age to get to 16. All the previous levels took a few licence tests to reach, but this one is taking several whole licence sections.

I can't remember, but when you level up, do the points reset to zero, or do they stay at the level you reached???

Na it just takes a while. I got to lvl 15 on day 1 but took another 2 days to get to 20, Tho i wasnt hardcoring it the progress slows right down at around lvl 17.. After lvl 15 u need to do loads of racing and special events to get the points up.

Also the points do reset at every level, So far i need just under 69581 to get to lvl 21 and im running out of races to get xp from...

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

I'm pretty sure that only applies to hosts' using modified LFS executable files, does it not? Tweak programs should not affect the executable file, therefore making them safe to use online.

@ beatlemaniac. It's been a while since I created a Tweak server (Since patch V!!) but I'm sure this is how I done it back then.

1. Open LFS and select the car that you are able to tweak (Most likely a XRG/XFG). Open Tweak.

2. Go into Single Player, and put your car on the track. Then go to your Desktop, load your Tweak file, go back into LFS and then pit. Your car should now have the tweak settings applied.

3. With Tweak still running, create and host a server. Of course, make it private so only your friends running Tweak can join. When up and running, put your Tweaked car on to the Track.

4. Now, tell your Friends to repeat steps 1 and 2 on there Computer, in Single Player. You need to make sure they have the EXACT same Tweak save, otherwise they will not be able to go online.

5. If they have loaded the Tweak file correctly, and the Tweak file corresponds with yours, then they should now be able to join your server.

Hopefully, that should of worked. Don't forget that if one of them turns off Tweak or changes any Tweak settings while in the server, then they will timeout and could possibly timeout the server too. Also, don't forget to turn off Tweak and restart LFS before going back onto normal servers.

Let me know if it worked!

Im sure there is another way as theres a few servers around that lets u tweak ur settings alone, allowing different tweak setups on the same cars in the server...

Is there any way to get the AI driver out to practice without doing B races? I just want to mess with him alone to see if he can drift or etc etc with dodgy setups, He seems to be brave throwing around Impreza anyways.

Also, was it not said that u could take the AI online? I cannot see anywhere that will let u load it in the lobbys.

Maybe a few things will be added in tomorrows patch...

Yea its the same as on the PSP GT. I just wish it was a little quicker to level up, Been at lvl 17 for about the last 8 expert races.. Want to get to the big races to get some real money built up...

Ah well thats the end credits rolling... Idk if its when u hit 1m credits or what as ive only done about 1/2 the events, Recieved a Veyron too...

Think its about time t buy ma 4th car at last...

I give the game 7.5/10 so far but could be 9.5/10 once they patch the Alpha test feel out...

Quote from Boris Lozac :

CoolCool, do you know if maybe i can download someone elses PSP save file, and transfer it to my PS3, or do i need a PSP with GTPSP to transfer the cars?

I doubt u can... The option to transfer cars is in the GTPSP game so needs to load the save, which must have been created on the current PSP...

Do u have a CFW PSP?...

Quote from RMZ125 :

I was trying to download a save game for my psp, but polyphony somehow blocked the saves that came from other psp's.

Yea saves are locked to the PSP they are made on, If u have a hacked PSP then u can use a cheat device to add credits to your save. U can also mod cars to give them loads of extra bhp and grip...

Quote from RMZ125 :

The 1st thing what i am going to do is transfer all my cars on my psp to ps3 Then i am going to drive the ford xr8 around Nurburgring

Same, Ive got about 100 of the best cars bought and another 60 million to spend still before GT5 release.
