Eiger? Did somebody say Eiger?

Onboy said it once, I said it once and you said it twice.

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.

I love the pre-2000 Impreza's. I cant stand the current ones, they look like Kia's. I like the GD's though, just not as much as the GC generation.

 

[uMadson?]

Onboy said it once, I said it once and you said it twice.

EIGER? REALLY?

But I didn't have the proper Impreza Sport Wagon.

 

[Nitrous_Oxide]

May I ask, WHY THE HECK ISN'T THERE AN STi WRX ESTATE ANYMORE!?, and the new ones are a bit Kia-ish, as you said, the 1995-1997 models are my favorites, the 2001 one has weird headlamps, so yeah, It's the 1993-2000 models that were the best, rally legends.

And yes, I mad. :/

 

[Onboy123]

Proper? I thought the one I requested was the 'proper' one…And you love that course don't you? I think we should have done the NSX vs RE RX7 thing there cuz it's a nice track, shame I suck on it without 4WD or RWD. And is PSN back for Asia yet?

I said it was ME who got the WRONG Impreza Wagon.

I'm using an HK account too, so if it's down for you, then it's probably down for me too.

NSX vs. RX-7? Well, the Z33 went in... MUST WAKE UP SHYE AND BRING HER SOMEWHERE TO TEST TEH NEW CAR BUT SHE IS STILL BUSY AND WHATNOT.

About Eiger, people there know me as that guy who owns racers in a red sport-tuned Integra. Rumor has it that Roj also tuned it.

 

[Onboy123]

oh lemme guess, it's the Crimson R?

 

[uMadson?]

oh lemme guess, it's the Crimson R?

You got me.

 

[Onboy123]

Well at least you have some kind of cred, the closest I've got to a reputation online (I'm guessing you're talking about online) is being the owner of a bonkers fast HKS CT230R which will win any race on the TGTT by a margin of at least 5 seconds against much more powerful cars like the R35.

Hey hey, I was kidding about the Eiger bit. I didn't try racing online there yet.

I just loved the track, that's all, but what's annoying is the frequent lap invalidations whenever I get REALLY close to the wall. I mean REALLY.

 

[Onboy123]

I know, if you even graze a wall or run off slightly, it'll red flag your time, it's good fun though.

 

[Onboy123]

He, Roj, has the CSL's been started yet? And the Impreza might not be able to make it, with PSN being up for Europe and US only (great plan Sony, ignore the rest of the world and just feed the two biggest lumps of land on earth, well at least that's what I think they are, Geography is my worst subject)

Nein. Starting today though. I'll tune the CSL ImprezaAddict sent me, then I'll just PM you the settings as well. I'll just send your CSL back when I have a free day to do so.

 

[Onboy123]

Why the sudden switch to talking German? Was a simple 'No' not good enough? Or are you showing off cuz you know more languages than I do…
And Ok, but just so that I'm clear on this, what am I supposed to expect? NSX rivaling speed or more of a DB9 clone?

It's all the German I know to be honest.

Well ImprezaAddict wanted a max tune on racing softs so... Expect something like a lighter, more agile DB9?

 

[Onboy123]

Oh, in that case, I might ask for a slight change in the tune… I also want it to work on sports softs purely because I want to have a car which is good fun to drive as well…you guys showed me what a set of sports softs can handle so I'd like to see it pushed to their limits with 500hp.
And counting that little bit of german, how many languages do you know? (I know like 3 or 4, cantonese, mandarin, english, a little bit of french)

 

[uMadson?]

Speaking of your tunes, I'm pretty sure you know how much I love your Crimson R tune Roj. So expect another run - this time in the Nurburgring.

You see, I'm just procrastinating by driving random cars over at the Nordschleife. So far, I've driven the E92 M3, R8 V8, Crimson R (uhh yeah...), FT-86 G-Sports Concept, but ragequitted in all of them because of getting my lap time invalidated. And then I'm being addicted to that track and the Integra.

Just a heads-up for some of the goodies I'm gonna bring here.

 

[Onboy123]

Lol that's what I've been doing as well, but only with the NSX, both supras, and that's about it. I haven't found many car's (from you or from anyone else) that have sparked a flame of motivation which burnt for long enough for me to take it to the 'ring. So it's safe to say that it's quite a rare and exclusive 'club'. Hopefully the M3 CSL will be joining that club of only 3.

It'll work on sports soft as it is. On racing softs it's just a monster right now. Endless grip, no wheelspin, no oversteer, just tarmac eating excellence. I'll run it on sports softs and see if it needs any tweaking though, but I doubt it. It's just as good, if not better than it was on GT4.

And I dont know. If you're counting one word as knowing a language, there's too many to count. When you go online you pick up little bits of everything as you go along.

Yeah I know, after you swiped it before I could use it for driftking's fanfic.

Looking forward to the goodies.

 

[Onboy123]

Ok fine, say…if you could speak a sentence in that language, then that counts as knowing it, so how many languages would you know?

One.

The CSL is freaking fast on sports softs too, I just ran a few laps and whilst there is a degree of throttle control needed, it's on pace with the NSX and RE Amemiya RX-7.

And what are the stats? I know it has 500hp, but that's it…how much does it weigh? and do you think it could keep up with those two with say…450hp?

 

[VTiRoj]

And what are the stats? I know it has 500hp, but that's it…how much does it weigh? and do you think it could keep up with those two with say…450hp?

500bhp, 1153kg and 566PP. And yeah, 450bhp would reduce the amount of throttle control required so you'd clear corners faster and make up for the time you'd lose on the straights against the 500bhp version.

 

[Onboy123]

So if I took power down to 450, it should be bang in the middle between those two…what was a Japanese civil war is now joined by the Germans. All we really need now is a British entrant (TVR Griffith, Cerbera speed 6 etc.), a french entrant (Clio V6, homel thingy etc.), an Italian entrant (have no clue&#8230 and then we have the basis of a World War 2 of RKM! (ok, maybe a bit ambitious and pointless, but hey, all in the name of fun)

Yeah pretty much.

I dont think France has anything that'll match the M3. The Veyron is way too ahead in the league table and the Clio V6 doesnt have the grunt to keep up. I think an Elise or Evora would have to rep the UK. Italy, I'd say a Maserati GranTurismo with an extra few horses, because it's a sexy car. We need an American car too, I'd say Camaro SS.

 

[Onboy123]

Hmmm...which one though? The new one, or the ones from year 2000? Cuz those drive pretty well stock, I know, I used one for the top gear cheap car challenge thing...and as for France, a renault 5 turbo or that lightweight hommel car who's name I've forgotten...and you just had to bring the maserati in didn't you? Well, it might not be the fastest, but it'll be the most desirable and possibly the one to give you the biggest 'trouser accident' when you see and drive it. That or the Alfa 8C.

The 2010. Although I know the previous generations are also fast, it's just we've tuned the 2010 already so it makes things easier.

A Renault 5 is also too underpowered and the Hommel also. The Peugeot 205 T16 might do well but I think it might also be left behind on straights like the Clio. I think the bottom line is, French cars dont have much of a fighting force besides the Veyron and Citroen GT.

I had to, yes. I like the 8C but I dont find it as attractive as most people do.

 

[Onboy123]

Then we'll replace the French with the...um...Koreans! They took part right? So we'll just use that Spirra V8 thing then. And I am 'most people' and I'd like to disagree with you, THE 8C IS BETTER LOOKING THAN THE MASERATI!!!!!

The Spirra is cool.

Ah but you see, Prius.

 

[Onboy123]

Oh for **** sake!! Screw the Prius! Is this what you do when I say something you don't like? Just mention the Prius and Onboy will shut up -.- Anyways, got to sleep, so thank you for filling my dreams tonight with a bloody Eco electric box when I should really be dreaming about cars like the NSX and the 8C or maserati.

Yes. It's super effective!
