nah they have.... like a wheel where the X and square buttons are as your accelerator and brake so you can control your acceleration alot better

they look interesting, but i cant be bothered getting one from over in america

pretty sure someone in this thread bought one. personally i wouldn't waste the money, especially just because it has HKS on it. just get a white-out pen and write HKS on your controller.

It was me... the steering wheel thing and pedal buttons on the HKS controller does allow for better control over how much power/steering you're using. It probably wouldnt sell that well without the HKS name but since it does zomg its awesome.

so if it really is better than the standard controller, howcome you've only had it for like a week and your getting rid of it?

lol you say its to fund your car.. i dont think it'll go very far towards that.. what would it buy? a wheel alignment maybe?

Its going towards replacing the funds that I've spent buying NISMO Air Flow Meters. Shit will add up once I pawn off some more junk.

I hardly play GT5 anymore, I'm still only at like level 8... it got boring. I was playing with the HKS controller on Need For Speed Hot Pursuit for awhile but even then I still hardly touched that - just too busy with work and cbf doing much when I get home from work. I have a habit of buying stuff, using it for a short period of time or hardly use it at all then it either sits there and collects dust for ages and eventually gets eBay'd off or sometimes/lately I just chuck it on eBay once I've had my fun with it. Any other questions?

So i've finally managed to start capturing gameplay through the Avermedia AVerTV HD Capture card, must say the quality isnt bad. it says recording up to 1080p but the quality doesnt look like 1080p to me. but good quality none the less. here is a short .flv of one of the GT all stars races

What car are people using to get past the Gt all stars championship? originally i was using the R34 GTR, then tried the Nismo/Xanavi R35 JGTC/SUPER GT car. The R34 couldnt heep up no matter what i did, the R35 was a loosing battle aswell. so after a reccomendation from a few friends overseas to try the vette Z06 and race prep the thing. it worked :)

currently on A-spec level 21.5 but b-level isnt worth wasting my time on just yet :closedeyes: do many of you race it online yet?

My B spec driver is at level 14. from about level 13 on they can be trusted with a high powered RWD car and won't loop it at every sharp corner when they are in the red zone

I've got 2 at class 31, 1 at 32 and the top guy is 33. Now that I've reached the Tsukuba 9h enduro, I'm going to alternate putting one of the two newest guys (13 and 14 currently) in as part of the team for each race to improve them. Will see at 6pm tonight how far they progress in one swoop from their 1/4 share of 661,144 xp.

Liger, i'm still saving up to buy a car to use in that race. still got 1.5 mill to go before i can afford one.

Has anyone had a go at the second round of seasonal events? i've had a go at 2 and have been smashed both times, finishing about 20 seconds behind in 1 and 40 behind in the other. they must hve decided to make these ones much harder that the last lot which i was able to win all of

Sounds good to me. Only just picked up my second driver (don't get much time to play :() and made sure he was a hothead.

My coolheaded driver doesn't allow me to walk away from a single B-spec race. Even in the early races against 300ZX's etc he becomes so complacent in the 650+hp LFA that he will drop his half lap lead and let others overtake him.

Looking forward to just letting a driver drive on his own.

you need to raise them slowly. big cars and no talent leads to no learning with these guys. put him in a car thats only a little better than the competition. if that doesnt work, sack him and get a new driver :)

Still got it I'll buy it pm me put cash on your bank tomorrow

I did nothing but B-spec (from 0) for 2.5 weeks. Was made easier by having all my car collezione courtesy of lev.23 A-spec to race with. Could certainly be done quicker if you're around the PS3 all day to restart races in the pre-enduro levels.

Anywho, the answer to the question posed last night is: 4 hours 9 minutes 54 seconds, at an average speed of 240km/h

Now I'm going to have to run the Le Mans 24H 11 times to reach 40.

Just for shits'n'giggles, I think I'll see how much power I can knock off the current 1557hp by not changing the oil in it until I get to the end of B-spec

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
