has anyone played it? if your a bit of a fan of the old Demolition derby/ Demolition derby 2 games, this will intrest you.

its a branch off of the normal Dirt series, you've got your offroad races, your gymkhana, and my personal favorite, demolition derby and knock out's.

the game does lack some certain realism, once you've been knocked out, you just go back into the ring again. the same with demolition derby. once you've been taken out, you re-spawn. a slight dissapointment. but still a bit of fun to have when you are bored

finished the game last night. was worth the money spent.

knock-out and the demo derby are the best part of the game. especially when you get up in the list of cars, the holbrook growler is probably one of the best cars for the knock-outs. but it struggles a bit when you get into the "legend" demo derbies.

if you havent unlocked that car yet, then get the Jupiter del rio and get all the upgrades for it.

as for the races, go for the Jupiter san marino. not only does it sound good, its got the most power out of all of the cars. the Janzen modified ( looks similar to a AMCA/ Dirt modified) has better handling, but you've got to constantly use nitro to keep up with anything. so go for the san marino

    • Or get a guy in his early fiftys to do it. A single good "oof" and about two cracks from his lower back is about the right tightness...
    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees.
