did all the seasonal 6 races today....last 2 were actually a little challenging (without going nuts on car mods) the new Corvette sounds like crap apparently

almost 9 mill in the bank and some more dam sexy cars. 220+ atm

I used a corvette I already had in the stable. Had to do every mod to it, including rebuild the engine before I had a chance of winning that race. Dam I hate that track!!! In hind sight, I would have been better off buying a new (faster) Vette and using that as a starting point. On the flip side, I already had the MX5 and just fitted racing tyres and a filter and ECU - won the race easily enough.

Not trolling GT5 and or PS3. This is totally router dependant. You might need to exclude the PS3 IP and or MAC address. You might need to put the PS3 in the routers DMZ. There are a number of options

How are people going with the drift events? I find it pretty damn hard! Anything with a decent amount of power in it I keep spinning out or coming off the track. I try to power oversteer to gain contr

did the same today at a friends. the 2000 model.did almost everything to it and still didnt catch him...only 5 seconds off when we gave up.

i highly recomend the newest angriest Vette, and do a few good angry mods. much easier to drive.

Liger- not that ive seen :(

i had one of the c6 or zr1 corvettes (the supercharged 7L one or whatever it is) with racing modifications done to it that i'd used in other races. i was in the lead by the end of the second or 3rd lap. ended up lapping half the field.

and I'm still waiting for a long-tailled BMW F1 GTR to show in the UCD :(

yup- the '09 ZR1 Corvette; it's the best car to win the American Championship with, after being RM'ed

I think its the expert series there's a race series for the older (pre 79) le mans type race cars. Can't remember what it's called right now. What cars have people used to finish these races? I've been trying with a Countach with every mod i can buy but the best it can do is 2nd with absolutely no chance of a 1st. :(

<br><br>I used the Toyota 7 and I think that it's a prize car B spec somewhere.  I have heard it ''can'' be won with the Countach but I tried it too and theres no way I could have won with it either. Edited by NISMATT

I'm selling my code on eBay, I haven't even played B Spec yet. The only reason I bought the Signature edition was that I thought that the SLS AMG competition was open to everyone who forked out for that pack, not just for 15 players across the world who have no life except for playing GT5 B Spec 24/7.

eBay link - GT5 Signature Edition SLS AMG Competition code auction

Starting bid is $20, Buy It Now for $150. Up for the next 3 days.

wha? I forgot to do my entry for the SLS AMG. I'm guessing that A: I'm now too late and B: there was some other task I had to complete apart from shelling out $$$ for the game which promised me an entry in a draw to win an SLS AMG? arseholes.

Hehe I had a go the other day. I only have one car that qualifies, which actually has some hp, but it wasn't quite up to the task. While the '62 Buick special may hose other pre-80's sedans, it's no match for proper race cars of the era. Poor thing lost about 10 sec in the first half lap, and only got worse from there.

I filed that one away for the "when I have a spare 50 million credits to waste on cars I'm only going to drive once" category.

Hey mate it is possible with the countach tuned properly, I did it. The trick is to make sure the 2J is behind you on the starting grid. Then when you get down the straight on deep forest you just block him from passing you. The second course is much easier than the first as well, was in front by around 7 seconds.

i just nutted thru B spec to get the Toyota 7. "like the wind" is where you win it. and the Minolta in the Aspec version.

both cars are priceless in the racing scheme of things. saves you spending alot on buying equivalents

i wont get the chance to do ahte seasonal races untill tomorrow night anyway, so it does not bother me too much, altho i would like another 787B.

i've asked a few people about this, but how many of us race online? i've been toying with the idea of creating SAU room on a friday night/weekend night. but if the numbers are low it might not be worth it.

OK now at about level 31/32 for a and b spec...was a real pain in b spec winning the extreme series historic racers challenge whatever that is. Toyota 7 ftw. Damn that 2J when it starts on the front row I thought I had no chance :)

I shoulda bought the Nissan R92C when I had the chance, but I'm happy with my R89C. seems easier to control than the Minolta.

does anyone have a gripe with the tuning? I mean an R34 vs2 n1 can only muster about 800hp fully tuned? and let's not forget that the figures given are at the flywheel not atw. They've munted the tuning on a lot of cars but I notice it on the skylines relative to old GT's. the old GT's could pull 1100hp or more sometimes out of a skyline, has anyone managed over 1000hp with any GTR?

yes and no, they do become somewhat undrivable anyways once fully done up. my 33 GTR has 580hp (not fully pimped) and unless i fiddle with the suspension, and make it 25/75 F/R drive its too understeery for my likings at all. just seems to get more with more power.

even the tommy ZZII suffers from this a little.

P.S. not a complain, just an observation. anything can be worked around i guess.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
