Hey guys,

saw this game at EB when i went to get GTA4..

Has anyone played it?? From what ive seen on youtube clips it seems pathetic... like really really shit.

The cars sound like different brand vacume cleaners and the handling looks similar to the 2fast 2 furious need for speed crap.

But yeah, thought this game was coming out in like august wasnt it?

Dean, exactly why I don't bother with the codemasters racing stuff anymore mate. Race Drivers 1 and 2 were massive disappointments, simply being ports from platform games so the steering and braking are nonlinear.

Avoid their product and get the good ones like are being discussed in my online racing league thread.

sorry if this is a dead thread but i was a manager at an EB Games store for a while, what you saw was a dummy box to let everyone know what is "coming soon" (would have been in the coming soon section with blue "coming soon" signs on the racks)

just so we are clear i HATE games like juiced, juiced 2, NFS, and the like for there completely disgusting handling and just lack of tuner culture knowledge, Forza 1 and 2 FTW

i have played the demo on Xbox Live, and it is one of the sweetest games iv ever played! and cant wait for it to come out

Looks like we have a GT5 killer not that GT5 was any good anyway.

Lol that is the most stupid thing i heard in this thread. Try take a corner in GT5 at over 150 and you will crash, do it in Racer Grid and you will fly round the coner without lifting off the accelerator. I downloaded the demo. Had one race and found it to be the shitteist game ever, deleted it 5 minutes later.

GT5 was a simulater, this game is just another need for speed.

I've been playing the demo today. It's actually pretty cool, the drifting is better than GT5 IMO. Depends what you're into though.

Stick with GT5 if you're into your simulators.

The replay mode is pretty cool and that little 'rewind' function was pulled off much better than Midnight Club did (or was it Burnout, can't remember).

I can see me getting over it in a week or so however.

But yeh to answer your question. Comes out on June 12th.

In regards to a GT Killer.... NOT EVEN CLOSE, Personally I don't think GRID is a NFS killer. I must admit though I am addicted to drifting the S15 in the demo and just to let you know how easy it is my current highest drift score on the 3 laps is 18.5 Million. The hardest boss for drift in the demo gets around 1.5-1.7 million just so you can compare.

I should have made my post a little more specific.

I meant in terms of gameplay and graphics, obviously the game style is different one being so called sim and the other arcade style and cannot be compared to one another in that regard.

Regardless gt5 is just a demo if and when it comes out i am sure all its flawed elements will be ironed out.

The bit at the end I call plain cheating, but the graphics are so sweet!

A birdy told me it is already available. :D

      Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
