i actually prefer the B spec to some of the rally events. just wish my drivers would realise that if they are in a lambo LP640 and the car in front is a little hatch back and they are faster than it, that by using the big round thing on the dash in front of them they can go around the car in front.

i hear that!!

the b-spec drivers really do borderline on mental retardation when it comes to overtaking slow cars. and what pisses me off is that your opponents never have the same issues! in the "like the wind" race at indianapolis i use the 787B and it dominates by a long shot, but theres always the gillet vertigo race car that you lap 2 or 3 times before the finish, the 787B could almost drive circles around it, but instead the b-spec driver decides to hang off his tail for half a lap then wait until the next big straight, often letting your opponents catch right up to you. and they dont use the slipstream off the car in front well at all. they'll be in the slip stream, pull out to overtake, brake, then continue to try accelerate past, wtf is that!! they should never take their foot off the gas!

and i cant think of one good car that came out in 1987.. so looks like my "bday present" is a write off..

YOU BASTARD! where the hell do you order one of those?? i got told by EB they aint coming to nz but im keen to order from overseas if i have to

wait.. i heard a horrible rumour they weren't wireless, which now i remember that was why i stopped looking for one.

so is it wireless or not?? thats a deal breaker for me if it isnt

Edited by jonboy

Its not wireless but the cord is quite long. Doesnt bother me as I sit pretty much next to the PS3 anyway or sometimes sit on the bed. I prefer the cord actually - saves charging - I got a wired keyboard and mouse.

So far so good, feels different to using the triggers its weird I got my fingers ready to press the trigger to accel/brake but I dont use it! Accel/brake feels great being able to "heel and toe" using the thumb lol steering response is so much better than the joystick on the DS3.

I think I need to get me hands on GRID again to try out the drifting on that with this controller.

EDIT: its USB

basically, chumps.

its basic psychological marketing.

target market = young boyracers/gamers/import car enthusiasts. all these types know HKS, and know HKS = awesome.

therefore slap the HKS name on a product = instant mass appeal to said market = mass sales.

you comprehend yes?

and has anyone won the final nascar race at daytona in a-spec? i get pit maneuvered and spun around every time lol. on the odd occasion i do get out in front, i lose too much speed on the corners because i cant keep the car steady with the standard controller and just get owned anyway lol

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
