Relaxed, General FH3 Chat

[DJTHEKING]

Okay, so... The widebody kit glitch has been fixed. All cars reset to how they are supposed to look.

My cars are still like they were before the update. Maybe i have to go out of the festival to set them back to normal...

You need to select the car. The thumbnail shows how the car looks before the update.

Can I just say I'm so beyond happy with the new barn find. Was so gutted when it wasn't in the list, now it's here.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I decided to pick one circuit to time the Shelby GT350R against the BMW M4 GTS, I got a slightly faster time in the GT350R. Though, I don't think I was driving either car at their best, so I'll have to try again later.

I'm trying the same thing with the Nissan GT-R against the Acura NSX right now.
EDIT: Well, I got a faster time in the NSX than the GT-R.

 

[VXR]

I believe the NSX is being found to be quicker than the GTR, so that seems right.

whoever decided to inlclude the s14 as a DLC car, give it the RB kit but not give the Kenmeri the Liberty Walk kit needs to be ****ing fired

Whoa, hold your horses. Perhaps Liberty Walk said "no" to using that body kit in the game?

Ah, phew, we were all wondering when people would complain about something relating to the drift cars.

 

[VXR]

Perhaps they assumed the Kenmeri would be better off without some flavour of the month nonsense.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

I'm finding the falcon is the sweetest to drive and just experience in general. Do need to spend a bit more time with the Talbot though.

 

[AudiMan2011]

I'm also struggling to understand the logic behind adding the Kouki S14 considering we just got the Zenki version last month, especially as the Kouki looks to have fewer visual customisation options too from when I had a quick browse through.

Also the RB kit for the Kouki is ugly as hell.

 

[VXR]

Pity they didn't go after as many period JDM kits for the S14 pair as they could, in favour of courting the RB/LW/DILLIGAF crowd.

 

[Turboteg90]

The kouki will sell more than a zenki.

 

[Eunosthedeer]

If I spit out my dummy and throw my toys out the pram to Turn 10 will I finally get Skoda's in Forza?

ok. You're wrong, but ok.

The Kenmeri/c110 are one of the most popular and beautiful Shakotan/Bosozoku cars. They added a simple fender and oil cooler to cars like the Celica and 510 (for some reason) It wouldn't of killed them, even if Liberty Walk said no to their kit, to of done something simple, or even something based off of the old racing prototype or the rocky auto kit.

Hell, i'd really just like to space and size the wheels correctly.

I really, really want some BN Sports, if we're gonna go down the stance route. I think the last game that had that was the Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift thingie on the PS2...

Have you got any goats to sacrifice?

The whole point of the car is to get that abomination of a body kit into the game, I feel.

Not that I disagree with you, but... They could've gone with the Forza-style flares they've used on the Celica, the 510 and the Z, though. Or at least allow us to offset the wheels...

Definitely agreed. Hell they even added a forza style widebody for the FC RX-7 and even the Talbot Lotus which is awesome.

I assume they just haven't got around to retouching up all of the cars from FM6 in terms of new widebody kits, and the Kenmeri should be of top priority. There are a bunch of other ones too like both the 2016 and 1994 MX-5's, the 350Z, all of the Skylines, the Huracan, the Maserati Gran Turismo, the AE86, Corolla SR5, Mini Cooper, Opel Kadett etc that make sense to get the widebody treatment.

 

[VXR]

I don't disagree that the Forza arches and stance would look great on the Ken. It's the ugly, trying to be JDM meets a fake, plastidip looking mess that is the Liberty Walk Kenmeri I'm glad we didn't have to suffer.

I can confirm the wheel size glitch still works. I just used it on the M4 to get a matching 20" front wheel.

The Opel Kadett not getting it really annoyed me. Those little buggers are all over the place in hill climb events. They always look (and sound) magnificent in race trim.

Now, I know this is asking too much, but since you brought up the 350Z: I'd much, much rather get the Power House Amuse wide body they used on the 380RS Superleggera than yet another Rocket Bunny kit. Even though it's not that much wider than stock.

I honestly like the look of the Rocket Bunny 350Z better but I understand I'm probably in the minority here (in this forum). I would love to see the Amuse 380RS too though, the more body kits the better.

It seems now they're finally focusing a bit more on the visual customization side of things with these new kits, but it'll be interesting to see if they add any new kits for FM7 (that aren't in FH3), add in any new kits to FH3 (that are on cars already in the game) and if they'll actually deviate from exclusively RB, LW and Custom Forza stuff. I hope they do, but considering there's still a number of kits from either brand they don't have....I doubt it.

 

[DJTHEKING]

The S14 with the RB kit in Plum Crazy looks AMAZING

 

[mrPetros]

The ability to convert the car to RWD is odd, too; how exactly does that work?

one easy way is to weld the diff

Same way you can fit a V8 under the hood of an AWD Focus

thats right. if you have the time and the resources, you can do anything you like
here is a old miata with a full v8 in front, and a really big turbo (78) hanging out back


ps. I really like the new nsx 8)

 

[HuskyGT]

Lovely!!

BMW M4 Not too excited with this pack. The M4 isn't too different to justify its presence. It's nice that it has it's own sound though (although it sounds suspiciously similar to the Ford GT...).

Viper ACR Same as many have stated, and same opinion as the M4. However, it's nice that it has its own sound now. Viper V10 but with crackles and pops! Sold my regular SRT Viper and the mid gen ACR. Now I'm happy as I have the first Viper and the very last one.

Ford Falcon Beautiful!! I know nothing about it, but gosh, what a beautiful car!! Perfect looks, sounds, handling (wobbly and floaty how I like it) and overall presence.

Haven't tried the others. Really not interested other than the little Sunbeam. Should make a sweet super light-weight sports car that will join the ranks with my BMW 2002, Alfa Giulietta, Ford Escort RS 1600 and others.

Oh, and the Barn Find... Finally!! A Japanese car worth having!

Nothing like cruising from Surfers Paradise to the Outback to Byron Bay in a 2016 Viper ACR, music turned off, foggy sky at dawn, tv turned way up, raw noise of an 8.4 V10 ringing through your eardrums.

Pure excellence.

My apologies, even though I am aware it's too late. Did not know how to use the "spoiler" tag. I know now.

Says he plays forza professionally doesn't know how to disband a convoy and complains about it.

Apparently never studied the pause menu.

Also, I apologize to people out here if my name starts popping up ahead of your rival times. A coworker and I are having a friendly feud to see who's faster, and it's been extremely back and forth (as in 9 or 10 routes at a time). My personal highlight was stomping his Subaru time in the Crown Victoria...on a scramble that was mostly offroad.
