[Crispy74]

I'll be there, see you at 8 guys 👍

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Some good racing and I managed a fourth at Daytona Road 👍

 

[Captain Roh]

Bonjourno!!

Nice to see a few of you are active still, the photos BlaqueJacque took from last weekend look pretty darn cool. Like I said earlier I think we'll have to revisit that one some time, I was enjoying the practice sessions immensly.

Sorry I've not been in as much as I'd hoped. But its to be expected Been having too much fun, and to be honest this is the first day in four days I've had WIFI access. I've only come in to say hello mind, I'll be off on my travels again after tonight so probably wait till I get back to talk about the GP especially. Was a cracker, but I'm sure most of you saw it anyway 👍

At the moment I'm sat next to lake Como up in the mountains. Drove here from Monza this morning. I'll be off for a swim very shortly but I'll leave you with a couple of pictures before I go. Hope you all had fun in the F40 too, its a beautiful machine, and I've seen one in the flesh this weekend. My second ever sighting!

Anyways, arrivederci, for now. Have a good'n fellas 👍

Hi guys, sorry I missed yesterday. I have a lot of building work going on at my house at the minute, and my PS3 has had to move upstairs where there is only a terrible wireless connection. Might be out for the next couple of weeks until I get an ethernet cable upstairs.....hopefully won't be too long though....

Glad to see you're having a good time too Shin 👍

And also massive 👍 to the guys for setting up the races while Shin takes a break, even though I can't make them

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Lake Como looks like Vancouver Island

Enjoy your holidays; hope the Monza weather continues for you 👍

So who's got the next 'Shin on holidays' combo?

 

[KamyKaze1098]

Fiat 500 (The new one). All power parts besides the turbos and Fixed suspension plus transmissions parts and aero parts that will be set at full.
We're going 500 Cup this sunday.

What do you guys say??
About tires since it would be like a race car I say Race hards, but that's a bit grippy. Any suggestions?? If you like the idea of course.
If so I'll detail the specs.

PS:It's my oportunity to bring the Fiat into Concurs.

 

[Adam41]

Looks like you'll be wanting an RM'd car this week Jack I vote for the Golf IV 👍

Anyone else?

 

[RalliArt/////]

I vote for Chevrolet Camaro SS RM '10.
And I would like to see 1 night or wet track, something different.

With you there Captain, the Golf IV RM is an ace little car 👍

 

[Rotorist]

I vote for Chevrolet Camaro SS RM '10.

I vote for once to have a wet race too. As for the vehicle, whatever all you choose, I'll try to race with you.

Just a word for F40's past weekend. Some people know how to drive really fast, but their way of driving alongside others is terrible when they chase. I have made several stupid mistakes during previous races too (mainly because of no or v.little practice on the car), but not so huge accidents as what I saw in Monza's race...

 

[Paginas1]

Dont think i have the golf so yea im up for that

 

[BlacqueJacques]

OK, Golf RM ...... on race hard tyres?

How about Suzuka with some weather?

Laguna Seca ....?

and.....

 

[Blitz187]

No joining until the host is back from vacation is my understanding; someone will confirm that..

On the first page of thread:

Yeah I saw that.. I wasnt expecting to get initiated right away... So he can look at it when he comes back from vacation.. 👍

It will be good to have you with us mate 👍 I'm sure you'll have no trouble in joining as soon as the Captain returns.

Yup! Haven't seen you in a while either I'll wait for the Captain to be back so he can evaluate me...

 

[Cpt. Disaster]

How about Suzuka with some weather?
Laguna Seca ....?
and.....

How about Nurburgring GP/D. After all, it is a German car 👍

 

[Rotorist]

If we race with Golf RM, how about max engine tuning? Only 300+ max tuned after all...

 

[BlacqueJacques]

How about Nurburgring GP/D. After all, it is a German car 👍

OK so tracks are set, Suzuka in weather, Laguna Seca and Nurnburgring GP/D; VW Golf RM only, hold off on max engine tune until people have an opinion, race hard tyres.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Volkswagen Golf IV GTI RM '01
Race Hard tyres
Suzuka
Laguna Seca
Nurmburgring GP/D

Practicing today at Shin's Once the Gran Turismo server back online

My opinion: upgrade intake (sport intake manifold and race filter) and exhaust (sports exhaust manifold and sports catalytic converster); sports ecu tuning; and all 3 stages of engine upgrade; leave it with supercharger only (no turbo stages).

This should make it tougher to control in the wet (Maybe)?

 

[Rotorist]

I basically agree but it has 250 PS only... No problem though. Decide about it until tomorrow to have the settings fixed for practicing.

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Opinions? Come on this website is full of opinions

 

[Crispy74]

My opinion is...lets do it!! 👍

Fully agree with all three stages on the engine tuning, the Golf is a little underpowered without it. And like Jack said, it should make things more exciting in the wet

 

[BlacqueJacques]

OK, all three engine stages!

Do you want the turbos instead of the supercharger? Go ahead use turbo's; can always turn them off and use supercharger only if we want; time to practice!

The Golf race mod is a blast; rain will be fun!

 

[Rotorist]

Nice! Mileaging it by my Bob in Nurb at the moment...

 

[Crispy74]

Had a few runs round Suzuka in the wet with Will and John last night...great fun 👍

Didn't use the turbos on the car, but just wandering what you meant about using the supercharger Jack, as on mine it isn't available!

 

[Rotorist]

He means standard (stock) turbo. It says supercharge in settings.

 

[weescotman]

gears also, we were topping out on the straights so bumped the top speed upto 160, workeda treat.
