◆ SNAIL [Spec] Racing - Join now to win a Digit Racing EDGE Masterclass enrollment!!Open

[JLBowler]

So I broke my brake pedal last night while Pack Racing.. This may be a long shot but, does anyone have an older wheel/pedal set laying around that they'd want to sell to me cheap-ish? If not, I'll be done with racing for awhile until I can buy a 27 or something.

Thanks in advance if someone steps up! If not, it was a true joy racing with y'all for the last few months . I've never ran across a community quite like this one.

You can PM me or quote/post here if you're willing to help.

I have some parts from previous sets. What happened to the brake pedal and what would you need to fix it? What model is it? I may have a replacement in the rafters.

 

[Adramike]

Its the driving force pro (old and junk) when I opened it up this morning it showed me that I broke the bracket where the springs sit and when it over rotated it also broke the electrical connector on the wiring. So its toast lol

I make no promises until I look through a couple of boxes but I think I have an old driving force pro. If I can find it,you're welcome to the whole thing if you will pay for shipping.

I saw that and edited it lol

I'd like to get a lot of D4-D7 drivers in here so I can see how things will play out. Right now it's gtr3123 and jared_93 leading the field of me and Die_Birdy_Die. It's hard to gauge how fast I am when everyone else is clearly miles ahead

New room will be opened in a minute. I had to quit to put numbers on my car. Everyone get painted and numbered up so we know who you are!

I have to say I really enjoy this combo, I knocked it down to a 1:47:689, there's more time to be gained. If someone beats my time before I do, Cudos to you because then I will find out where i'm losing my time =)

To anyone that wants to join the testing room that's open, bring a Supra GT500 and RX-7 Touring Car. We're using the latter now. It's very similar in lap times and corner speeds, but a little more nimble with the braking and turn-in which is nice. And it looks meaner.

Go with the RX-7 the GT500 have been done!

 

[Dragonwhisky]

For anyone who might be interested, all* of the results for year one of SNAIL have been gathered up here.

Years 2, 3 and 4 will be added, eventually.


*= every one I could find anyway.

 

[TomMang_68]

GVS reversed? You do realize that we could be running a forwards race and a reverse race on the same circuit, the same weekend...I'm already questioning your combo A choice...and those cars?? Are you serious?

 

[Gr8_Lakes]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the RX7 T.C. was used about a year ago, and the Supra GT500 hasn't been used yet. That is if I'm reading the combo history right.

 

[turnupdaheat]

Just a word of caution. To say go with this or go with that combo is a bit premature at the moment. There is still the potential that the prize winners could change from the top down depending on the results of the stewards decision making.

 

[ErickGaToRR]

@DesertPenguin09 Had fun today in the test lobby . To be honest as much as I love the supra on Grand Valley Reverse, the RX-7 Touring Car did just as good, a little bit below standards from the Supra, but it's possible to push more out of the RX-7 to match up the pace. I'm looking forward for the RX-7 Touring Car to be picked for Grand Valley Reverse. Time for the RX-7 Touring Car 1:48:784 my fastest so far but there's time left out there =). "If all goes well with the steward update"

 

[DesertPenguin09]

You are correct. The Supra GT500 was never used but we've already used GT500 cars a whole bunch. I wanted to use GT500 but not a car that we used already. I liked the Supra but then looked at the RX-7 TC specs and it's very similar but slightly lighter. It's more forgiving and nimbler around the track. I also like how it looks and sounds more than the Supra.

Yes, we used the RX7 TC last year, and it appeared six times. However, that's just proof that it's a great car that people enjoyed. If it was around for more than that I might be deterred because it could have seen a lot of different track types. It's never been at Grand Valley Reverse and we haven't used Grand Valley Reverse since September 2013, so it's never been used in GT6.

The RX-7 TC has been used at:
-Twin Ring Motegi Road Course (three weeks in a row)
-Silverstone International Circuit (two weeks in a row)
-Mazda Racewaay Laguna Seca

Cheers mate lol. In all honesty the tracks I wanted are already in use. I would've liked to pick Twin Ring Motegi Road or East, or Nurburgring GP/F or D.

It's all good. just busting stones anyway. I'll be happy with whatever. In reality I love the idea of GVS reverse. I for one haven't raced it that way...ever.

It's so much more fun this way! Go in with no expectations.

Of course nothing's official yet, so I can always change my mind and do something completely different. Hehe

So I broke my brake pedal last night while Pack Racing.. This may be a long shot but, does anyone have an older wheel/pedal set laying around that they'd want to sell to me cheap-ish? If not, I'll be done with racing for awhile until I can buy a 27 or something.

Thanks in advance if someone steps up! If not, it was a true joy racing with y'all for the last few months . I've never ran across a community quite like this one.

You can PM me or quote/post here if you're willing to help.

I will probably have an extra pedal set here in a week or 2. G27 pedals. Just waiting on a warranty replacement.

 

[brntguy]

I make no promises until I look through a couple of boxes but I think I have an old driving force pro. If I can find it,you're welcome to the whole thing if you will pay for shipping.

And if you can't find it, I think I have one downstairs that hasn't been used in quite some time and I'm quite a bit closer.

 

[Rednose58]

While we wait for the Stewards to judge the IRs, here is a reminder of what's happening on Sunday September 6, 2015. (SNAIL official schedule has a day off on labor day weekend)



Go to the SNAIL Sept 6 Labor Day Weekend Endurance and sign up in the Thread.

Ya'll know, we Snails have a tendency to punch, kick, stab, chew or otherwise harangue each other but, if anyone wants to know just what SNAIL is all about, this,

Sir, if it is just the black plastic piece under the medal section ......... use the Clutch part (if you don't use the clutch, that is). But you more than likely would have already considered that solution.

Hi @Adramike , I have a complete Driving Force set and could ship you the pedals over the pond at your costs, but I guess if @JLBowler has one it will be cheaper shipping costs, pls don't hesitate to pm me in case of

Hope I didn't miss anyone up there.

I'm really feeling the love from y'all today. Just waiting on Bowler to see if he has what I need. Was looking around on the ole interwebs today and dammit, I wish the pedal would have broken Sunday night instead of Monday. Found a g27 for sale in Ann Arbor (less than 90 minute drive for me). Called on it, and it was already gone 👎.

Will update every one very soon.
