I tried it with the Minolta Toyota but that car just gobbles the tyres up.

I actually saved up to 4500000 and bought the Audi R8.
Another really useful car is the Mazda 787B that is 3500000 so a million cheaper than the Audi and it is probably just as quick.

:bigups:

Mozz · Post by **Mozz** » 06 Oct 2005, 18:44

GT5 is due mid '07 and the PS3 is damn good for what it is..........
BUT until it has a keyboard and mouse......

Right now, the reason i bought a PS2, was when GT4 was annouced

I think the Maxda RX7 Spirit R type A (FD) '02 should be the fix of the week

:P

OH YES!!!
@ ZELL!!! The reason i started clocking better times with that motorbike peice of **** was because i changed the weight distribution and managed to get rid of a lot of understeer

It works great with really light cars.....

im down to about a 4'39.6xx or so... huzzah

right well about the time trial let me just say, there are good aspects of driving stock and modified cars, with modified ones you can tune the car to your driving style and you can inevitably go faster with a car your more comfortable with.

Now the nice thing about driving stock cars, is that it becomes less of a test of the car and more of the driver, everyone starts off with the same conditions and whoever manages to drive around the cars shortcomings will do well.

like i say there are good points to both, now if we chose a new car to go upgrade every week, this would turn into a really pricy contest, with regards to in game money, and i dont think we could really keep up.

what we could do which is what i was thinking of awhile ago, is alternate the races between stock and modified cars, as in one week (or two) its a stock car, the next a modified car, now we could go all the way with the modifications of we could limit what's allowed to be modified on the car ,depending.

well its just an idea, what do you all think?

Zell · Post by **Zell** » 07 Oct 2005, 03:15

Well, if there is a split, then why not?
Make tomorrow the ring with upgrades available, and next week it will be stock again...

That way, okes can choose which one they wanna participate in.

Zell · Post by **Zell** » 08 Oct 2005, 23:36

Yo guys, I am really gonna be scarce here from now on. I hope I will be back in December...

Anyways, I am so sorry, since I was the one who advocated the "Upgrade 2 week" policy. I wish I could play...

Mozz, when we will go to the meet in December, why don't you come to my house first and we'll play GT4. We'll see who really rules! :sly: Oh, and we will "paint" the Hellscum vans afterwards, remember?

And to all you other KZN guys (Screeper, Style121, etc) lets try organise a GT4 lan for the holidays. Me and Style121 wanted to make one for the June/July holidays, but it didn't materialise.

Well, enjoy the compos.

ANY ONE KNOW WHERE I MIGHT FIND A LAN CARD FOR ME PS2??

(got the old one

)

Any one got a time for us yet??

Hawk21 · Post by **Hawk21** » 11 Oct 2005, 21:27

any specific rx-7 were using?
i was thinking allowing any type, fd and fc, would make it a bit more interesting, long as it starts out as a standard road car.

LordPhoenix · Post by **LordPhoenix** » 12 Oct 2005, 14:53

Thanks Mozz

We are allowed to mod it right?

Mozz · Post by **Mozz** » 12 Oct 2005, 21:04

YUP! Mod away!!

@ Pheonix: its jumping around coz its tooooooooooo light

Hawk21 · Post by **Hawk21** » 13 Oct 2005, 21:32

could've sworn there wasnt a car listed the last i looked

anyways ill start this one off with a:

7'01.684

not too special so no pic required just yet.

Mozz · Post by **Mozz** » 16 Oct 2005, 16:25

Ok, first of all, SOOOOO sorry that i am only posting now....
(i'm sure you know i would want to drive the ring

)

....but i had tests all week and stuff....soo, here it is, on lap one (went off twice) but it is a time none the less....

Hawk21 · Post by **Hawk21** » 16 Oct 2005, 17:00

figures....

ill post another one later, dunno if i can reach that though, i was thinking, instead of changing our 'tuned' car every other week, why dont we just change the tracks, we can use different cars for the stock races, but what say we keep this one for the tuned races, at least for awhile?

im thinking of my bank balance here

Zell · Post by **Zell** » 16 Oct 2005, 18:07

clever idea

Mozz · Post by **Mozz** » 16 Oct 2005, 20:14

Yeah, I Agree. Altho this thing is a hoe when it comes to bumps!

Just got a 6'22.009, but i was on a quicker one, but the damn thing spun out on the last corner!!! FRUSTRAITING!!!

(i'll do the pic jus now)

Screeper · Post by **Screeper** » 16 Oct 2005, 21:42

evening lads,

sorry for slack effort on my part this week. Been away from home for the 7 days so no ps2 in range

Seems i missed this weeks trial so i'll restart from whatever track is chosen for this coming week.
Annoyed i missed the tuned car trial. Although i very much doubt i'm would've been able to beat Mozz at the 'ring

Mozz · Post by **Mozz** » 16 Oct 2005, 22:12

well, lets just keep going till tomorrow, and if needed we'll extend sum more???? i also missed out this week, so ya, otherwise just say, and i'll change it!!!!

Mozz · Post by **Mozz** » 17 Oct 2005, 15:47

so are we changing it now???

If so how about this

Subaru Legacy 2.0 B-spec (28,800Cr)
Stage 2 Turbo Kit (13,000Cr)
Sports Intercooler (1,600Cr)
Semi Racing Intake and Exhaust Kit (4,600Cr)
Racing Brakes (4,600Cr)
Soft Sports Tyres (6,200Cr)

Total cost of 58800Cr, not bad (cheaper than the Lotus we had a while back

)

And we will race our budget beast at Tokyo R246

But if you want you can still post some Ring times

Sounds good. So the mods are limited to those then? I'm not good at putting up fast times on the Ring but Tokyo is a nice track.
