Hey I drive a LHDer in the UK =)

Grats =)

Quote from Fordman :

Easiest answer to that one, is nobody knows, so do what we are all doing and stick around and wait and see

Well I found out today that when I register my car tomorrow that it will take 5 days to get the reg number done. I am going to try to get it done in one day, it can be done but chances are that it won't happen in time.

I will try to work something out in terms of transport to southampton but its not looking good. I could keep the rental car over the weekend but thats another 70 pounds on top of the 2k my wife and I have already paid to get the car through SVA and registration.... I will try my hardest to figure something out though, I want to come... who knows I may be able to sweet talk the nice DVLA person into getting the paperwork through while I wait.

I always use as much brake as I can. The fastest sets always use a ton of brake, thats what I am used to. I am having major issues with the XRG set and I can barely break into the 43's... I don't know what I am doing wrong

Quote from the_angry_angel :

As much as a pogonophobe that we all know Bob is, he tends to have a very fine beard when I've met him and seen him in recent pictures It's most annoying.

I must obtain it for myself.... errr... I said nothing

LOL =)


Sure it isn't a nice case of Peach Fuzz =) I mean it couldn't be much more for someone thats only 21 :wink:

Quote from nihil :

I found the set very easy to drive.... but maybe that's because I'm about two seconds slower

It's very easy until you start using the brakes and then the lockups majorly upset the car to the point it's not drivable.

I should say though that all the sets are drivable and I am happy with them. They are just not setup for the pace I am used to, but I don't mind, they are still fun to drive and get difficult quickly when trying to lay down some nice laps.

I had major stablity problems aswell. They go away though if you don't use a ton of brake and I was running 1:19's with a PB of 1:18.90. This set is tricky due to the diffs unloading all the time but it is fun to drive.

I will edit this post and put up about the XRG set soon.

XRG is nice, gearing is off still but much better. I am running 43's and 44's with it. I gave the set to Skylark and he was running 41's so my driving is crap....

The problem I have with the FXO GTR is power unloading through the diffs making the car funny to drive. I didn't get many laps in with the the set (7 at the most) and I will test it more today. I will check out the updated XRG set aswell.

Quote from deggis :

Well, can't you just ask Scavier what he thinks. Then copyright issues = finito.

Yes you should have gone to the devs before making anything like this. Just a simple email would have worked.

Bob,

I don't have a problem with the gearing, it's not perfect but it will work. In RL you don't get the option of a bazillion different gearsets anyways =) Having fun is all I am worried about and the set will definatly provide that.

I have problems with the inside rear lighting up on exit but it's not a major issue and I will live with it. Keeping the Diff where it's at now will prevent anyone from really upsetting the car when they throttle on IMO.

I put a few laps in with the sets. The FXO I could use more practice on before I say much with that =)

The XRG was plesent. The gearing was off for me but I can live with that, in RL unless you have a ton of cash you have to live with the gearing you have anyways =) I did have issues with lockup and diff unloads, but I am happy with the set and I don't think it really needs changing. The set reflects more of something you would really see in a road prep track car I feel.

XFG felt good aswell no complaints there.

Good here =)

24 here with very little real track time. With my track time sitting in Dodge's SRT lineup running aroudn Road America. With the Magnum and Charger we hit over 130 and about 125 in the crossfire. It was really fun coming off the backstrech and heading up Thunder Valley and going through Kohler Tunnel at 90MPH and watching the track show it'self was one of the most exciting experiences I ever had.

I grew up around oval racing with my Dad an ex racer and my Uncle that used to race Amature AMA in his 82 CBR 900RR

Sim racing wise I consider myself to be a decent racer with the ability to lay down some decent lap times with some practice. I run in the STCC with the RB4 which takes up most of my online time recently.





I drive a 2005 Dodge SRT-4 ACR for a daily driver which I plan to take to the tracks. People in the UK don't know anything about this car but for a quick glance it does 0-60 in 5.3 seconds with my PB 1/4 mile time at 13.77@101MPH and with the ACR package skidpad is nearing .95 or so and 700 foot slalom at about 76MPH (hedging right up along side the Viper) 60-0 in about 110 feet.

Major down side is it's FWD, it's an upside though too because my insurance is less than 800pounds a year. 30MPG AND it seats 5.. I need to stop now =) I always get too carried away with my car. Anyways I should have it registered by the 14th so you all can see this rare car. 1 of 1200 ever built with this one probably the only one in the UK.

I bought RF. I wouldn't say I hate it but I would much prefer to play LFS over RF.

LOL

Poor Guy =) That had to hurt

"decided that rude comments need not be placed on a public forum and sent NIKI a PM instead..."

Quote from Da Hoe :

kompa got it.

and if you had read the whole thread, you'd have understood it that way too i guess, montanaperseen

edit: i wanted to make that niki guy here think of what he's done and hoped that he never behaves like that anymore, but oh well... he pretends that he doesnt even remember.

Yeah that's usually what happens =) I would comment on NIKI's driving but everyone knows how it is and because this happened on the STCC servers I will refrain from saying anything. Needless to say there was enough there to ban him but the admins were feeling generous that day.

MWO is supposedly going to be free...when they finish it.

FE CLub will definatly provide for some passing and I enjoy the close quarters. FE Gold would work for me.

I am not fussy, whatever works =) I will just try not to crash =)

Well the BFG's go as small as 205 15's

I don't think your going to find a lot of performance tires in the 14inch size range.

I have these on my car ATM. They are a dual compound tire that works well in both wet and dry but sacrifices the max on both to be able to handle both very well. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/ ... Model=g-Force+T%2FA+KDW+2



Potenza's are always a good buy. I will probably go with those for my next set. That way I don't have to import my BFG's

Haha =) I used to play Motor City Online aswell. Some of the makers of MCO have remade the project and are creating MWO but the project is in their free time and has not reached alpha stage yet.

It can easily happen if you don't speak english on a regular basis =)

Put a nice big smile on my face =)
