The ideas are flowing boys.I have an academy GT-R painted this color. Came like that in a trade. It is actually not nad but does make my eyes bleed from time to time when I pass it in the garage.
Sort of reminds me of an M3 done by a Japanese tuner. They use bright/pastel colors for all of their cars. Let's hope Roj doesn't get any ideas...
It's My Little Pony, expect little ponies.
Well you offered! 
It's up here in the UK.!Oh that's where you get the artwork from. Very nice.To be honest, Shye belongs to this guy. I just brought her here.
EDIT: Whoops. Did I leak bigtime? Anyways, all credits goes to him.
I think he pays with spanking.Well, as you said, you bought her here so you pay for her expense during her stay
She'll be the one to take a bit of spanking if she won't be the one to pay Roj.
See, I was right!

This thread is like 30% spam I think.
I'll take it, but only because me and the Impreza have some history. I've actually started to rebuild it already, but I'm taking my time.

That Sport Wagon STi sounds like a good request. How about tuning it without using non-removable mods? It would be a switch from monster to grocery getter, quite subtle indeed...
It's all up to onboy though...

My Impreza hasn't been touched since I bought it, so the oil engine and chassis is still as they were before I got to it. And it's up to Roj, as I said, I don't mind what he does to it as long as he doesn't mess it up. Oh and another thing,keep it white.
Edit: Roj, that was one of the reasons I requested it. I know you've had a history with it, don't think that just cuz I wasn't around in GT4 I wouldn't know some things about what makes this 'shop' tick. If I knew about RVV/RRV/RCV/wtv it's name was when it died, I would know a little bit about the stories and stuff you did.

Your Car: Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 (C4) '90 (I will send it after or before work tomorrow)
Sending Your Own Car? Yes
Tuning Request: I want to have this car pushed to it's limits, giving it a good combination between Max Speed and Handling so that it can beat any car in it's class with no restrictions (Sports would be perfect for tires.) The car is currently stock from the Used Car Dealer. I didn't change the oil, wash it, repair anything or colored it. You may colour it anyway possible (Just don't make it look like an eye sore.)

I wouldn't mind Matte Pink myself. My Mitsubishi Lancer RM was that colour then my girlfriend changed it to Lime Green. I think that car should become pink, though.

Roj, can't send anything yet cuz those gits at Sony haven't put PSN back on yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
**** that stupid group of ****ing idiots! They turn it on for the US and the Canadians and the Brits as well, I bet you it's on for some remote island on the very edge of the world as well, but just not us. Just not for HK -.- What type of ****ing racist pigs are working at sony now I'd love to know. Utterly ****ing useless bunch of pathetic ********!
Ok, raged enough…now just to find something to review since most my afterschool lessons were canceled…

The Impreza Wagon is going to stay white don't worry.
If I do a sedan then... mwahahahaha! 
Alright, alright. Beg my pard.
I fear the car may end up too soft and too slow without chassis bracing or engine tuning though. It has no weight reduction though, it's meant to be a daily driver still.
I'll have to take this one after August or at least tune it after August if you've already sent it. 👍
But yeah it can be done. Could you PM this to me so it doesnt get lost in the thread? 👍
Review? There's no tune to review.
Or is that a hint? I agree on the pink!
Japan's government refused PSN to be turned on until Sony could prove to them that the security was up to spec. Perhaps Hong Kong's government is doing something similar? Doubt it's anything to do with racism though.

This is going to be a slightly shorter review due to my mum coming back home much earlier than expected, but still, here it is:
Spoon CR-Z review
Before
Well, it’s a CR-Z, only more. It’s got more power, it feels like it’s got more grip, and it sounds more angry. But because it weighs just over a ton, it’s got more weight to luge around as well. And that’s reflected in the way it drives. It’s more ponderous, its movement more dulled than you’d expect. It’s not as lively as the original Civic Type R or even it’s distant relative the Spoon Type R. And the problems don’t end there. Even with the extra front grip, it understeers, a lot. And like all electric/hybrid cars, it feels too reluctant for some reason. You know it can be quick, it knows it can be quick, but it’s unwilling to put in the effort to achieve a quick time. But that’s about it, I can’t find much to pick at, there really isn’t much flaws with this, it’s just a bit…dull. And I have now lost all inspiration to write any more, so, let’s just put the tune on and be done with this eh? Laptime? Oh alright, it was a 1:21.016 since you asked. It’s good, just not as good as it should be.
After
Off for a few more laps, god what a dull day it’s become. Right, first corner and…Oh, it’s got oversteer…this might not be as dull a day after all. And it wasn’t. This car’s tail just kept on kicking out when I entered a corner. But it was always followed by a lot of wheelspin and understeer. The balance it hard to find, what I want is for this car to oversteer on entry to keep things interesting but not too much that I lose time, but for it to not drag its front around after sliding. But it just won’t do it, it just won’t listen! And I was thinking that it, until I got used to it and adjusted my driving a bit. When you do, it stops being stubborn, it stops understeering, it starts to listen, it starts to find grip. It also stops with the wayward handling and just becomes fantastic. Just a hint of oversteer when braking and then huge grip coming out with a little understeer to let you now you’re getting near the limit. It feels like a bigger, heavier Civic Type R. But it’s still not as lively as it should be…still, with a lap of 1:20.237, it’s not what you’d call slow, is it? And my mind is now empty of thoughts about this car. So how do I sum it up? Well, despite being fast, well balanced, and quite a good all round FF, it falls down on fun. So given the choice of this or a lighter, less eco Civic VTi-R, you’d know which one I’d go for.
Laptime: (tested on TGTT)
1:21.016 (before)

Just wondering where you found oversteer in the Spoon CR-Z.
But anyway, thanks for the review! I find it fun myself but then I'm an oddball who likes driving the Prius. Suprised at the small lap improvement though, although I was up against Spoon's settings to begin with.
TBV was never tuned for any one specific track.
This.
The Bread Van was tuned for any track that was thrown at it, but it's home turf was Amalfi, just like RKM's home turf is Trial Mountain.
That said, if I do bring it back as a story car, it would move to Eiger, yes.

I think it's lift off oversteer or something like that, but I'm not saying it's not fun, but not as fun as it should be.
And sadly, my home turf is on an abandoned piece of boring, flat, uninteresting stretch of tarmac based in Britain so I'm not actually one to listen to in terms of car reviewing. And bring it back to the stories!! You ended your last story prematurely so it's about time you put it back in right?
Oh yay!, I don't know why, but since I was like, 5 when I was playing GT3, I always had a huge soft spot for the Impreza STi Wagon, and the STi itself, it was always one of the cars I wanted, I'm not much of a fan of the newer ones *Waits to be killed* I just love the sportwagon!, So I'll be waiting eagerly for that.
