entertaining watching them try and set a lap time. don't think they were too harsh on them either, only the comment about them killing yuppies, which isnt too far from the truth
-
it is winter here. and i play it once a week for an hour or so. I opened up endurances races yesterday, and my thoughts exactly - f**k that
-
how have you got so far up the levels? I'm not good enough/too impatient to do some of the harder special events and there dont seem to be many races left. Seasonal events get pretty good XP but last time i checked there wasnt any new ones to do. NASCAR stuff is really frustrating with only controller

Anyone recommend a good sub for E39?
Mike replied to Tristan's topic in Audio & In Car Entertainment
factory amp for speakers, used a small class d alpine amp for the sub, 350rms from memory. I looked at changing the speakers and amps but decided it wasn't worth messing too much with it as I wasnt planning on having the car that long. the audio system is not that flash considering what the cars would have cost new -

Mike replied to Tristan's topic in Audio & In Car Entertainment
I had a soundstream 10" in my e39 and was plenty loud enough. meant I could reduce the amount of bass going through the main speakers and they sounded much better -
probably because the certifier assumed it had 4 doors lost count of the number of people that tried to open my non-existent rear doors in my old e30
-
99.9% of drivers aren't Incary so would most likely be perfectly happy with BC golds, for those that are theres Koni's. FWIW i loved my old e30 on (standard) bilsteins with whiteline springs, more than good enough for an amature hack

A friend of mine got diversion when he crashed his car, careless or reckless driving I think. despite witnesses saying how fast he was driving before he crashed. that was a 5 years ago so things might have changed since then.
-
pretty sure its normal, just put it into kickdown and it should take off in first
-
agree with all of that
-
and some of the older ones... I was there a 18 month ago but it was closed for private testing so couldn't take our van around it
-
haha good to see parts of it live on 4 years later. that manifold was pretty indestructible, rest of the m10 not so much. I still miss that car, whats happened to the rest of it? the shell was pretty decent for an old pre f/l.

dont bother modding the 530i, just get the 540i and be done with it. would take a lot of money to get the 530i anywhere near the V8. even then a 540i is still not that fast off the line. awesome for overtaking though
-
cos they f**ked it up- pissed me off too. from memory they got it right in GT4 so dont know how its wrong now. cant even change the wheels yourself to fix it
-
I didn't really like the xmas special. Some funny bits of course but it just all seemed a bit too 'same old' I reckon they were at their best with robin space shuttles, mini ski jumps etc
-
someone might have asked this already but whats the best bet to get money quickly? I keep buying cars that I dont need to progress in the game just because they're cool
-
M1ves - Though I'm 12 hours out from most of you unfortunately. Make it a lower level car IMO so that anyone can race. M3 maybe? has enough power to have fun
-
^ i agree. besides I would also consider the examples you mentioned far more worthy of being copied and considerably harder to obtain than a 360 modena
-
I worked in a shop making motorcycle exhausts and the guys there always had good things to say about the ceramic coatings
-
dont o-ring if you're planning on using an MLS gasket. pretty sure most they explain this on manufacturers websites
-
What are peoples opinion on Nokia N8? I'm tempted by the 12MP camera, but only if I'm not going to get annoyed with the rest of the phone
-
probably the tyres, but if not maybe give it an oil change. I went for FC RX7 for first car. Moved onto an M Coupe now though. ID: M1ves if anyone wants a race
-
I"m going to shell out $600 for 320GB PS3 + GT5 + Red Ded Redemption tomorrow arvo. Will I regret it?
-
its arguably the better car, but its not a v8 and therefore not as cool
