Magic

Is that in game gfx?

finally my rank is maxed out. u still play it Vu? I play a lil, gettin hooked on RE5 tho!

first trailer out: http://au.ps3.ign.com/dor/objects/14319191...ift_032309.html

Trimcare should be able to do it.

I don't understand how someone can steal it? :S

yeah it looks pretty cool. I'd like to see some form of tuning performance-wise available. dyno tune, test tracks etc. I havn't come across a game yet with a realistic modifying aspect. But tbh, doubt they'd do it with this.

I joined a game you were in last night but everyone was well over my rank. And they always do bigger maps with sniper rifle. How did u level up so quick? Did you do the bot thing, I'm doing it all legit.

Invite please. Blaq-Magic I am like the middle ranking, one after unlocking medic. server disconnections sh!t me though.

Ripped from IGN.. Need for Speed Shift Hands-on EA races back to the starting line with a suped-up and ultra-tuned ride. by Chris Roper US, March 4, 2009 - EA's Need for Speed franchise has been a little, shall we say, "lackluster" as of late. The series has had trouble finding its footing, and short development times have kept it from being the engaging thrill rides of years past. Thankfully, that looks to be completely changing with Need for Speed Shift. As someone who has reviewed the past couple NFS releases and who is also a big fan of everything from Burnout to Gran Turismo, I can say that I was not only pleasantly surprised by what I saw of Shift, but I'm also now very excited to get my hands on the full release later this year. One of the biggest reasons that I'm sold on this year's game is that it doesn't focus on some crazy storyline or the latest in open world technology, but rather the pure driving experience. Rather than handling Shift internally, EA reached out to Slightly Mad Studios, the guys behind the GTR series on the PC (a critically acclaimed franchise to be sure). The results look to have paid off nicely. The cockpit view looks fantastic thus far. While EA wasn't letting a lot of details about customization, online play or even how the career modes works get out, it did let me get my hands on six different cars across two tracks. Said cars included a Lotus Elise 111R, Shelby Terelingua, Audi RS4, Corvette Z06, Porsche 911 GT2 and a Pagani Zonda F, while the two tracks were Brands Hatch and a course simply titled London. As I mentioned, the game is about the driving experience. While you can of course play in a handful of third-person views or from the bumper-cam, the game is designed with the cockpit view in mind (which I'm personally always a big fan of). When you're sitting at the starting line and waiting for the lights to drop, your car will jolt from side to side as you pump the gas. Your engine lets out a fierce bark every time you touch the pedal, and you can see your driver's fingers adjust their grip on the steering wheel. Once the race starts proper and you slam the gas pedal to the floor, everything is turned up to 11 before the knob breaks off. Your engine quickly becomes deafeningly loud, drowning out anything outside of the car and helping to sell the fact that you've got a barely-tamed powerhouse of an engine with perhaps only inches of leather, stuffing and frame between you and it. As the car pushes the speedometer clockwise, the camera pulls back slightly to instill the act of being thrown into your seat. Slam on the brakes and the opposite happens as your view thrusts forward towards the dashboard. Coming into contact with something solid takes this to the next level, however. The camera practically bounces off the steering wheel, the whole screen becomes blurred for a second or so and, if the crash is bad enough, it looks like you're even blinded with a flash of light for a split-second. It's dizzying and disorienting, but wholly awesome. The game looks and runs great, even at this early state. As for the feel of the vehicles, I'd put the game somewhere around the level of PGR in terms of realism, though it's admittedly been a while since I've played PGR so that might not be a perfect match. Regardless, it's certainly a far more realistic experience than pretty much any previous game in the franchise, and for my money, more fun to drive as well. To be sure, while it's not as demanding as Gran Turismo, you'll still need a fine touch on the accelerator, knowledge of whatever track you're on and, most of all, a large amount of respect for whatever vehicle you're in. NFS Shift looks great right now, though I was playing the PC build (with an Xbox 360 controller) as opposed to the PS3 or 360 versions. Regardless, it looked great and ran silky-smooth, which is especially notable since the build I played was a few months old, putting it close to a year out from what the actual shipping code will be. As I mentioned, I can't wait to play the finished release later this year, but I'm sure I'll get a few more spins behind the wheel before then, so stay tuned. This is, thankfully, one the racers to watch this year.

Personally I wouldn't even consider an East Bear Kit with this exchange rate.

Yah same one. He was interested in a swap plus cash for my car but then I had same problem, he stopped replying to my emails. Was gona throw a 33 box and dirty SR in it.

If you can live with an automatic CA then go for your life. It's very well priced for the money spent on the body work. Was gona buy it myself actually.

Yeah that's right. My rear conversion was quote around $3,200, not including the lights or any materials, just fibreglassing and spraying. I decided to buy the wheels isntead as it had 100% resale value. Expect to pay around the same if not more for what you want to do.

If you go in and person and talk to bruce, he's a champ. Shouldn't be too hard to just mould over the desired parts to create a wide body look. wouldnt be worth the money tho. maybe 2.5-3k-ish.

You're misunderstanding what this fender does. It only widens the upper part of the body. the lower is still the same width. But that's besides the point, Either way, your stock body remains original. You could in theory like 2LV8ETR said, get the stock body custom done and widened, but this will put your URAS fenders out fitment as they are made to fit the standard body not modified. Below is a pic I took of the '07 Blitz R34 last year. As you can see it doesn't magically make the standard guards bigger. Think of it kinda as a bolt on. Not sure why you wana run bigger than 275 though. Sedan Rears are fine, it's the front that's usually the problem.

These won't widen your guards. I've seen the URAS r34 in person. It's basically a sh!tload of rivots smashed into the fender to hold the URAS kit in place over the standard body. It's not replacing the body in anyway, therefore it wouldn't give you room for wider wheels. The 07/08 Blitz R34 runs 275/35/18 on the rears.

wtf did you crash this as well?

What's up with Atwell? I have a friend there and during the day it seems like a nice quite area. But by the sounds of what I hear in terms of cars getting stolen it makes Rockingham look like heaven. =\

If you are in Mandurah go to Autobahn there. Fabian is a GTR veteran. Tell him 'Magic' of Club Motavate sent you.

After next week I'll probably be in a Veilside kitted 3S-GTE Celica. Guy has got till Sunday to decide if he 100% wants to go ahead. It's something different to run around in while I save for the 34R in 2010. Ask yourself some questions which will help you: - How long do you plan on keeping it. It may be wiser waiting weeks/months/years to save more and buy what you really want. Always look long term. - How much money will you have spare each month to put towards maintainence, repairs, or upgrades - Can you afford insurance every year on the car plenty more questions to look at but those should get you started and then you can narrow down your selection based on that. And for rare, jap car thats pretty underated, Should look into a '00/'01 Galant they have lots of potential. and quick cars stock. Only thing is I don't think they come in manuals.

There was a good article on a dude with a drift spec orange r34 Sedan in HPI a few months back. He put a Sr motor in it that pushed about 300rwhp. Was a pretty good read from memory, Cant find the magazine I got crap everywhere. I think he's on the forum.

TV Spot trailer is now out. 34R smokin it up at the beginning lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPvLlrhZQPs

i added m2c.

Last years cruise was one of the best day cruises I been on. I get back from holiday this weekend so will see how I'm feeling and hopefully make it.

Funny you say that last night the old man said I should do that. lol. Might actually consider that as I have a 5 year background in design. AutoCAD can't be THAT hard.
