Quote from AJS :

Just out of interest ... why did you sell it ?

I own one myself.

anttt69 just go and get one because its very cool car but carefully listen to the engine because the control chain (it has no camshaft drive belt) is a big issue with this car if it hasnt been looked after. some noise around 3000 rpm is normal but everything else will be really expensive repair.

other point would be the aluminium cylinder head which easily "breaks" if you dont keep the revs down for the first 10 kms or so... so look for oil in the cooling water and grey brownish mud in the oil cap.

camshafts are no issue with this car unlike the 318i where they tend to shrink.

I sold it for several reasons, main one being that i discovered some hidden rust which was working its way to the exterior, the rocker panels looked and "sounded" solid, but trust me, they wherent. Thats the bad thing about living in the rust belt .

Welcome brian! hope we get to trade paint soon! (not in the literal sense :P)

just get a 91 318is, you get most of the goodies from the e30 m3, at a much much more affordable price... i know since i had one . A blast to drive and handles like no other car i've owned.

The mining and refinement process for the metals used in high tech batteries is just as bad or WORSE for the environment then running a car on gas, so biodiesel is imho the best for us and the environment.

oh almost forgot, almost all servers available are either the cruising bs, or drifting... yay

Quote from Mike85 :

Forza 2 is already an example of a succesfull product because its high budget and marketed etc...

And Americans only buy such stuff

news flash.. im not american.

Also, from what i've seen at the forza forums, eurpeans are yearning as much as anyother people for forza.

Anyhow, lfs could use with some advertising.

Not to mention that the north american lfs players are now busy toiling in FORZA 2, with ingame voice communications, real tracks, and real cars, everything we long for in lfs, now if we could only find a way to merge them we'd have the perfect sim ...

so yeah, its deader then usual.

keep dreaming guys, it'll never happen, at least not within the next 5 years.

They should hire yuji Ide as a consultant for wheel\wheel contact, he's got TONS of experience

Quote from Forbin :

I think there is some effect on the track, it just doesn't show in the garage.

there isnt.

This is one of the reasons unrealistic setups exist with impossible WR's, because the aero modeling has gaping holes which can be exploited.

the pc version is just a port, if you want to really enjoy it, do it on a 360 or ps3, its definitively a lot better then previous titles, i actually ejoyed it (im a well known codemasters hater, so that says a lot).

the first LXR shown, the rest just look like need for speed wannabe fnf naws style.

dates are insignificant.

Lol, i remember stoping behind you in qual and admiring your handiwork :

As good as LFS is, it cant be used as a "tool" for real experience.

what is great about the damage model now, is that if you hit something a certain way that pushes the bumper down, the bumper will scrape the ground and limit suspension travel

Now all they need is to increase the fidelity of the suspension damage, as to achieve more realistic suspension failures and to model the underbody of the car with exhaust and all that jazz, model the actual 3d engine and suspension pieces, do opening doors\hood\trunk, removable front and rear bumper, damagable radiator (visually spraying smoke\water and physically overheating) and removable wheels for when the accidents are that juicy to knock a wheel off Then LFS would be set for the best damage model of all time.

The sideforce he's speaking of is Nascar\ovals related, where your in a corner turning for a prolonged period of time, it does nothing for a gtr type car.

The term has been loosely used by the nascar commentators, all it does is help the cars rear end not slip so much aerodynamically while in a corner, thats it, the effects arent that big.

Colombia VS mexico?

Cuando fue la carrera? y me puedo meter ? Vamos colombia! :P.

-1, let them finish the pc version first (S3) then they can think about porting a few aspects of it, its all about priorities.

I've really enjoyed racing with core, and after seeing how they run a fair and competetive team, without big egos or megalomaniacs to be annoyed of, i couldnt think of a better place to be.

long live core!

welcome Forbin

Quote from Shoe Maker :

LoL, here we go again...



@RMachucaA - If you want me to send you the replay, I will. You got on the grass coming out the second BL1 chicane, I was behind you, not beside you, you slowed down on the grass and I passed you easily, then at the next turn you decided to run up the inside and brake way too late with dirty tyres and you smashed me clean off the track and in to the wall. Then you typed, c*nt in the chat and the swear filter automatically banned you for your language. I fail to see that I did anything wrong, you got on the grass on your own, I didn't touch you, I passed you clean then you rammed me off the track at the next turn, then you swore and you were automatically banned by the swear filter. Remember, the replay is available if you want to see it again! Im sick of people like you coming on the forums and telling lies, this whole 'I didn't do nuffink and I got banned for no reason, WTF ?' Your 'one day ban' for swearing will now be upgraded to a life time ban for coming on the forums and posting lies.

Evo, you must have me confused with someone else, the incident happened on the chicane after the first corner, we where side by side, no grass was involved.

Im still curious about the accident you are speaking off, i would like to see the replay if it infact was me on another incident with you, please email to ;now secret email;

Thanks.

Quote from Blackout :

It's starting to look like a promising title, but there is still no word about the pricing is there? If it's meant as a platform for professionals, as it was at some point, it could cost a tiny fortune!

Not more then what some people spend on a wheel. (im guessing here :P)

Police interceptor, 1998 crown vic. 8 cylinders of fury

Bought it as a winter beater for cheap, but im really starting to like it, with the police package the suspension is quite stiff along with oversized swaybars, positraction rear end, and 4 wheel disc brakes and a load of other goodies.... makes GREAT fun in the snow and in the dry, never get tired of doing burn outs (my tyres do though :P). Oh and the dual flowmaster exhaust sound makes your chest hair grow and makes your balls hang even lower.

Grow up guys.

Its a business after all, would you like something you've worked on for years and years to be freely available to the masses to dissect and learn about (possibly in malicious ways), or rather keep it and build it into the vision you originally had for it as the ultimate simulator?.

Its obvious why they would go to such lengths to protect it. And i for one cant wait to see what they come up with.
