The special tickets for car restoral (not the engine overhaul in the garage) will bring car back to 0 miles. I had a car with 55,000 on it, and after using the ticket it was 0 miles. I let Bob break it in and changed oil.

Thanks all. With 39000+ it looked like 258 was going to be the max. Restored with ticket and am now breaking it in with B-Spec driver.
 
Hey Escama,

I can dupe the one Chris sent to me but I'm not going to be near my PS3 for another 4.5hours.

If you can wait that long, send me a friend request (GTP_Carlos) and I'll send the car later tonight :cheers:

Car sent Escama. I didn't leave the track before I quit the game so it even has 0 miles on it! :cheers:

Using a share car with no miles. Apparently my car was not an OCD car or broken in at all. I will break it in and share it on my GTP account if anyone wants to send FRs. Sent one car off to Spud already. 👍
 
New splits after overhaul (learn something new every day) 260 hp. Thanks guys for all the help.

Might need to do a mile rest on mine then, as it's stuck at 257hp. Maybe that can get me a 27 S1. :ill:
 
anyone think they can send me this car?


I've got 2 Vette's.
One is brand new,the other one has got over 18.000km on it.
The weird thing is the 'old' one with the milage on it doesn't reach the amount of hp,even after an engine overhaul.
Only slight difference of 1pk,but...
Just wondering what the effect is on other high powered cars,I think it's worth a little investigation :)
--Edit:stupid me,just recognized your Tag DZ,I'll send the car within 15 min. from now.
I'll send the 'new'one,with only 40 miles on it.

Thanks man 👍
 
After I complimented Kev on the sweet OP pics, he told me that none of the alternate wheels looked good, so that's why he stuck with the hubcaps. I think I found a combo that looks better than hubcaps. ;)
I *may* have messed with the contrast a bit, because Laguna's lighting is a bit weird. :irked:

15min of lapping gave some better splits:

27.871
26.234
22.033

...and an average final sector, which will be cleaned up later. Cheers again, Chris & Matt for those tips earlier. 👍
 
Haha, thanks for the tip 👍 If I found out sunday it would have been horrible :)

You'll find that it's 1 hp down on maximum Manu but if you have a restoration ticket you could reset the car to 0 miles but would have to break it in again. To be honest the lack of 1hp isn't causing me any significant issues. :cheers:
 
Gotta love stock cars. The way these were meant to be driven. Period also means a smoking inside rear tire haha. First splits:

27.889
26.582
22.040
 
A bit trash but fast all around lap. BB now is 4/6. For the first turn , need to release all throttle at 1st apex for the rear coming alone before retake out in 2d gear.
For the fast left before cork screw, better staying in 3rd gear.

Good luck everybody. Fun car.👍:)
