450pp Street Car Tuners Club -- Nightly 9:45-12:00 EDT

[Nicktune]

I finaly destroyed my awd 500pp record!(nurburgring).
(Evo 7 500pp, RS tires, Online).

lap 1 6:53.083
lap 2 6:49.856

The tire load indicator is so far from useless.

Nice REPU huyler btw!

Please, I was wondering the same thing. I was messing with it the other day and the changes in the tires seem so minimal on the indicators, no matter how much stress I put on them. So, I figured I must be reading something wrong, or expecting too much.

thanks in advance. (i'm going to do a search as well)

Ps3 just craped out (data corrupted)...so that will have to wait.

Mine is acting up, rarely booting the first time, sometimes hanging on shutdown, not connecting with the DS3s. I wish there was a maintenance app I could run.

The new dog chewed up the steering wheel cables

Time to get a G27 or Thrustmaster then...

 

[chuyler1]

I don't think it's beyond repair...it's just beyond the effort of plugging it in to race. I've been busy working on the truck anyway. Lots of little projects.

Met up with some local rotary heads last weekend. My friend took some great shots with his camera...

 

[ZohsixGT5]

Very nice

 

[esoxhntr]

very cool truck

c'mon Kaz, why isnt it in GT5??

 

[pyxen]

is it ever in great shape, huyler! Wow!

 

[spooble]

That's hot! I'm not a huge fan of those rims, but the rest is mint!

I know I know. I've been shopping for replacement rims. Hard to find the right offset. Most of the REPU trucks I find photos of have the tires sticking out beyond the fenders like a Jeep. I don't want that. I'm tossing around the idea of getting them powder coated white too. That would be cheaper than converting to 5-lug or paying an arm and a leg for custom 2-piece rims.

Speaking of wheels...

 

[pyxen]

nice dude..wish my sentra looked that good (body and wheels!)

What kind of wheels are on the truck? what size and offset do you need?

If you want something durable you could get some Diamond steel wheels : http://www.diamondracingwheels.com/drwcustom.html

 

[chuyler1]

The rims on it are 16x8 with a 5.75" backspacing. I want to downgrade the front to a 7" rim with 4.75" backspacing (basically remove an inch from the inside). That will give me back the full turning radius. Right now the tires rub if I try to go full lock. I'll prolly keep the 8" rim out back but I have the room to get away with a 4.75" backspacing if I want the wheels flush like the front.

Does anyone else log in here a few times a week and get sad that:
1. This thread has died
2. None of the GT5 news is exciting in any way shape or form?

 

[chuyler1]

I do. I need motivation to fix the wires on my wheel after the dog chewed them up.

I was hoping for an extensive track pack to get me back into the game...still waiting.

 

[polizei]

i thought for sure they would release all the gt1-4 tracks not in the game, at least as DLC.

 

[Vol Jbolaz]

The next DLC will be in about five weeks. It will include the cars from GTA. That is it.

I suspect after that they will announce the PS4 at E3. Then PD will work on GT6. Which will be released about a year after the PS4.

You are welcome to join us for the Parity Racing tonight. It will be in the SNAIL_Division2 lounge.

 

[polizei]

GTA? Grand Theft Auto? hehehe

Yes and yes.

But I'm at work during the races now.

 

[polizei]

i'm usually in bed. No longer a student, no longer unemployed. The 8-5 is wearing me out. If i have any energy for videogames it's usually a few minutes of COD "/

 

[diabolicwyvern]

Please keep the noise down.

I'm using this thread to nap.

 

[Jujubean]

I recently got back into GT after a long hiatus. I have just about finished all the new seasonal stuff, but it is sad to think that PD may not be offering us much more any time soon.

Maybe they will at least take some of what they learned making GT5, and we won't have to wait 6 years for GT6...

 

[SolidSnake7735]

It would be very convenient if when someone is hosting a lobby, they post the room number here in this thread for those interested can join.

Whispers : sorry

 

[polizei]

all these updates and i still can't get into a single race online. Kicked off PSN or kicked out of the lobby every time.

 

[k_riens]

What about your own lounge ? You get kicked out of that too ?
