ive been wasting countless mins watching videos by this guy (he's a typical US man with too much time and loves the sound of his own voice) who compares both games very deeply. And ive never seen or played Forza 4 but this has opened my eyes to a better world without GT. The things you may not like about Forza are easily liveable without... the things that are annoying in GT5 are deal breakers. The simple and quick-loading menus, the modifications available (engine conversions, drivetrain conversions. I had no idea you could do those things). if you have some time and only know GT watch from 25min onwards

If you get much seat time, have a play around then and see what suits you. I re-read where I got it from (people I know, and their merit is obviously of no use on the internet) and the disclaimer is always "what feels best for the driver" and the second thing I noticed was "RWD race teams tend to minimise the amount of rear camber to increase straight-line traction". So I mis-read/mis-remembered and you are right, perhaps some rear neg camber is beneficial. I guess its a balancing act between straight-line traction and traction when exiting a corner maybe?

rear wheel camber is often used on FWDs to help stabilise/grip the rear in corner. Not sure what AWDs make of rear camber, but RWD rear wheel camber is only for the coolest kids who win badges at stance meets. Or drift and win badges for best photo taken of a drifting car. tl;dr: do you see RWD race cars with camber in the rear? nope.

haha didnt pick up on that. and yes to being an asshole. gf is moving to Sydney for 8 months, Swedish girl leaves the same weekend. 3bedroom bachelor pad for the next 6 months awwwewwwwwwwweeee yeah.

yes to all the above. reasons to stay on fb are disappearing. and I don't know anyone with babies or getting married.

Apparently the Daft Punk album doesnt work until you put a status on facebook about it.

Film grain threw me off... I always thought S2000 bay was covered head-to-toe in plastic a la modern cars.

Sorry Wayne, myself and friend entered this round. We'll volunteer for the next one. From what I saw last round, people's partners and friends took priority.

what is zis? i dont know hondas.

had the kofta there last week. was good.

fair nuff. you've obviously chosen it because you like the look of em, so would be hard to swing you towards a different hatch. possibly of Japanese design/parts and good ol' Australian construction. I know some people with a few for sale. a white one stands out in particular. it's only $4500 drive away

meh. just like audis and beewee's, once they become (relatively) affordable for P-players, they everywhere and parts/servicing remains pricey

nothing worse than having 2 of the same album. I order a copy of Atoms For Peace's album + tshirt and they sent out the album.... then another album.... and then finally the tshirt. The extra album serves no purpose. Can't really gift a 6+ month old album.

my old boss was obese and he only had shin problems. perhaps the kankles provide extra support.

like completely?

This is an ad for a friend (its an amazing machine). Please contact him and not me. Item Description: Pulsar 93 Jap Spec SSS converted AWD / GTi-R RB hybrid Location: Melbourne Kilometers: 138000 Item Condition: Stunning in most respects, see extra info for more. Reason for selling: I want someone else to continue the dream Price and price conditions: Offers (around $12K) Extra Info: This was once another members project car, started in 2004 and completed the major modifications in 2007. I bought it in 2008 as I had gone as far as I could with my U13 FWD Jap Spec and this seemed the logical next step. Since buying it in it's "project" state I spent a further $9K in sorting out and strengthening the diffs and the gearbox. I also redid the intercooler and put on a GTi-R bonnet. This allowed me to put in Air Conditioning (recently serviced 3 months ago for $650). Interior needed to be redone with new carpets etc as some parts had gone missing in the last "strip out". The car was off the road for quite a long time and lately the car has been driven on weekends mostly. It has never been my daily driver but saying that it drives perfectly in traffic etc and I am still smiling after a 2 hour expedition to Geelong. I just paid the rego in Feb and realised that I am being selfish for holding on to it as someone else could appreciate a bit of PGA history and give it the love I wish I had the time to give it. Therefore "this is the year I sell" and it will also be the first time in 10 years I have not owned a Jap Spec SSS. Here was the write up from the previous owner that captures perfectly the essence of why this car was built: A significant amount of money was spent on the car, I knew back when I started I would never make any of it back, it was planned to be a all-purpose daily driver. Two vehicles were used in the creation, a fully intact RB spec GTi-R purchased for this purpose, and my original '93 model Jap spec SSS. Neither of the vehicles were crashed or damaged before the conversion. Specs and parts are as follows: - GTiR RB Drivetrain/Gearbox (with front mechanical LSD), in conjunction with standard middle/rear LSDs. This drivetrain in conjunction with the suspension kit and better weight distribution (compared with a standard GTi-R) results in significant power oversteer, especially in the wet, so I would suggest a more experienced driver. - GTiR Model SR20DET straight out of above vehicle with 80,000km at the time of the conversion. Engine is otherwise unmodified. - Turbo is an GT2871R (bigger 440hp model) with HPC coated exhaust manifold and turbo ex housings. - APEXI AVC-R Boost controller. - Brakes are standard GTi-R brakes running Bendix ultimate pads all around. - Walbro GSS341 fuel pump - Exhaust is custom dual 2" system, a split dump pipe into 2" straight from the turbo to the rear mufflers, i.e. 2x catalytic converters, 2x resonators, and 2x mufflers, this was done to quiten down the system while trying not to restricting flow. The bumper had modifications done for the dual mufflers, in a "tasteful" way (i.e. no cannons), atm there are no tips on the mufflers. - Full GTi-R whiteline works suspension kit with Koni yellow adjustable shocks - Cusco front strut brace - Nismo front brake master cylinder brace - Full respray in Turbine Mica Grey (a heavy metallic-pearl grey colour used on the higher spec Commodores/HSVs). - Webasto Hollandia Sunroof (Stratos 700 model) with rolled edge roof (no ugly 'rubber trimming' like on most aftermarket sunroofs) - Genuine GTi-R front aluminium 'scuff plate' - N15 SSS Wheels (Lenso P600 are currently for sale separately) As it was never completed this vehicle is NOT ENGINEERED. It is however still registered and had a roadworthy after the completion, but it is adviseable that it be engineered if it was desired to be a daily driver (especially for insurance purposes). The car has current Victorian registration and insurance until January '14. For the bad points, well of course the engineers. There is also a rust bubble patch on the leading edge of the GTi-R bonnet as well as a paint blemish on the top of the drivers side C Pillar. The 2 front seats are dirty / marked (but I have put covers on them). There is no head unit or amp (but the speakers and tweeters are in there). The car could do with a dyno and tune as the Apexi has never been fully tuned / set up. I did have it mounted "stealth" in the sunvisor though. The previous owner and I totalled up the money he had spent to date and stopped when it hit $42,000, even things like the sunroof was $2500. Considering I have done most of the hard work (apart from the engineering) and spent an extra $9,000 you can see that this car has had some serious $$$ spent on it. With that in mind I am looking for $12K. https://www.dropbox.com/s/lf4b0li0t4a2hha/IMG_5370%20%28Small%29.JPG https://www.dropbox.com/s/fy3jqqtj4naq3ea/IMG_5374%20%28Small%29.JPG https://www.dropbox.com/s/u0v0gryqqmbw619/IMG_5373%20%28Small%29.JPG https://www.dropbox.com/s/o9ldxumxedrn30c/IMG_5356%20%28Small%29.JPG https://www.dropbox.com/s/pghrs02hdh3maog/IMG_5401%20%28Small%29.JPG https://www.dropbox.com/s/smay7vmjixx10o3/IMG_5405%20%28Small%29.JPG Happy to chat on the phone 0438 543 738.
