baaaaaaaaahahahahaha, i laugh so much because i know how you feel had that happen when getting my licences. i thought i was going to suck at the AMG challenge but i actually did quite well. generally silver first attempt (didn't bother trying again). the very first one i did i was just planning on passing it and not caring what i got. do the first run, get to the fast left hander over the crest before the right hand hairpin and finish line (the first section of the track) and i had a massive off, into the wall, across the road into the sand. get back on the road, about 50m from the finish, look at the time, has just ticked over the time for silver. so i had to do that one again knowing that i could easily get silver.

B-spec Lev.25 baby! :banana:

Easy street now- Much less button pressing required

Time to set Bob on getting me my X1 f**ken

easy street you say? i dont think so.. why would there be any less button pressing? and dont tell me your going to be a douche and put a le mans car or something into an endurance race full of stock jap street cars, wheres the fun in that?

the first endurance race only gets ur xp about halfway thru level 25 meaning you either do it again, or re-do the other races over and over and over..

There's not really to much fun in b-spec anyway. The drivers I have suck

I get so frustrated when my driver won't get up the inside into a corner, or struggle to overtake on the straights. I think the b-spec mode was way better in gt4 where you could just set the speed you wanted them to go but I guess there trying to make it a bit more technical in gt5

I tried B-spec the other day... first race and I put the prick in my mod'd R31... big mistake.

every fkn corner exiting crazy power oversteer but i'll give him a little credit... he didn't ever actually lose it, just came dead last :)

lol yeah, i've said it before and i'll say it again, the low-level b spec drivers are mentally retarded.

when we a-spec, we usually late brake into corners taking the inside and forcing the opponent out wide. the b-spec drivers do start making more heroic moves like this and pull way better times at higher levels, my best driver is level 24 atm and he's pretty awesome, although i can still get better times myself.

that's EXACTLY what I'm gunna do mahfugga. or should I say -am- doing; Bob and my Minolta should be just about finished taking the big stick to the competition for the 3rd time on the Grand Valley enduro

and you'll no doubt be pleased to hear I plan on using the most over-qualified car possible for every endurance race between now and nabbing that X1 :D

that's how I roll. oh yeah

my B-spec drivers are still retarded. they are only at around level 8. i had one in my lp560, in the french only race on the madrid track i think (one of the city tracks). by the first corner he was up to 3rd by the first corner. had some alfa and a (i think) lancia or something like that in front of him. was still in 3rd after the second lap. as you said, no taking the inside line, etc. on the straights half the time he was just ramming the rear of the car in front rather than pulling out to go round them. then if he did pull out he would only just have the nose of the car up to about the rear wheel then even though he would be on the inside line for the corner he'd brake early, then floor it quickly then brake again. then he ended up spinning out. he managed to get into the lead eventually, but the front bumper was barely still attached.

for the sports truck one at daytona i had an ford SVT and i had to fully modify it for the moron to be able to win. he was just too slow on the corners that was was last by the end of the first corner even with it semi modified.

can't remember if it has been posted in here or not (and too lazy to go looking), but this video shows how dumb the B spec drivers are. the b-spec driver has spun out and can't get going again

    • As GTS mentioned, it takes a bit of faffing, some fiddling and a little modifying.  With the strainers, you can buy different styles. Some sit flat on the pump, some angle down.  Here are some photos of mine, ignore the ugly welds lol. 
    • The smart thing is to actually locate the pump at the right point down the hanger, so that the strainer can stay sticking out at a right angle, but near the bottom. This is the perpetual hassle with retrofitting any different pump to the factory hanger. Some just go where you need it to, some need fiddling and faffing, and modifying of stuff.
    • Some updates. After a lot of praying and some inspecting of crank threads, we've found that they were both kinda munted but nothing seemed terminal. The other option was drilling and helicoiling the crank. That is obviously the last option so we decided to at least try to get a OEM GM bolt in to GM Specs. So after honing/linishing the balancer from it's .002" interference fit to a .0018" to .0015" to .0013" it eventually slotted on to the crank. ATI state the interference is nominally 0.0007-0.0009... so it's still snugger than ATI reckon and explains the issues we had to fit the thing to begin with. New GM bolt went in at 37 ft/lb then torqued 140 degrees after which was EXTREMELY   but it tightened up to 140 degrees and it was a lot of force. So all things considered, the balancer is secured to the exact specs that GM want with the OEM Stretch bolt, (that ATI say you can use..) and the balancer itself is seated and snug AF. So WOO. Engine is now back in the car with lots of swearing. Bellhousing bolts done up, driver side manifold is on, AC Compressor and hard lines are back on the car. Next step will be to connect various engine bits/wiring/intake/radiator etc. Then oil and coolant and ... test start it? And of course, looking into this issue... which actually doesn't look so bad - It looks like it can be twisted back into shape with a set of multigrips. Anyone wanna buy my bonnet? Boy it looks good over there and sunk cost sucks.
    • Also this may be a stupid question, but how would you recommend getting the strainer on a downwards angle ? as they tend to obviously clip to the bottom of the pump which usually sits level 🥴
