o and wats point of scions???? they haev low horse power and everything......

 

[Sakiale]

That was a better post.

But keep in mind, use words like 'you' instead of 'u', etc.
I like MR, because its easy to drift with. In GT1 a NSX will drift without braking, at any speed.

 

[tommeh]

do you know HOW to use commas?? just a qusestion..... (to WhackAzn)

 

[Smallhorses]

Ok, I posted a link in your last thread to it, but you obviously didn't get round to reading that yet. In this case I'll show you the other way to get there.
Scroll down to the very bottom of the page.

Yeah, all the way down there!
You'll see a link called Acceptable Use Policy. Read it.
What we really like is people who post coherent, clear posts in English.
Not teenage txt slng nonsense. The word WHAT has an H in it, YOU is spelled with 3 letters, not 1, "I'm" has a capital I and an apostrophe.

 

[luftrofl]

Okay seriously man.

I'm going to have to ask you to stop posting or change your Forum login to something that doesn't have "Azn" in the name. Your constant shame-bringing to Asians everywhere is quite annoying.

 

[WhackAzn]

Many would argue that RWD is the best. AWD systems can sometimes suffer from understeer, and they have a few other disadvantages (added weight, may be less reliable, and I've heard they rob horsepower as well). RWD is certainly the classic method of driving an automobile and arguably the best if performance and handling is the most important thing. These days, though, FWD is probably the most practical solution as it provides the best gas mileage and cargo room.

I just wanna say, This is incredible!! i finally have people to talk freely about cars!!!! omg thank god! thank you all and i hope u guys keep posting replies and stuff.....thank you please come again

Eh... well, just try to rein things in a bit okay? It seems like every time we get a new member, they just HAVE to post three or four new threads that are completely redundant and have been covered several times before. Try to avoid posting new threads if possible... just reply to an existing one (but make sure you're on topic).

I like RWD and AWD not a big fan of FWD......I like 350z, I would like skylineif it was legal in the US....NSX is okay i like that it has 50/50 weight balance.....I like definately EVO's and Subaru Impreza WRX STI is okay...i only like japanese cars sorry to luxury lovers including mercedes and bmw maniacs...dont even talk to me about american cars...sorry to american muscle people......RSX i would love if it was RWD.....and these are only comments on modern day cars.....

Well maybe you just have a little nationalistic pride going (if you are indeed an "Azn" as your account name suggests). Nothing wrong with that. I have a certain affection for Italian cars, even crappy Fiats, since I have an Italian background. But I tend to focus on the aspects that each country or manufacturer does best. American companies may make a few good compact cars, but it's not really their specialty, just as large cars aren't really the strong point of most Japanese companies.

PS: wat does PS and bhp mean??....im sorry kinda new... i know that Hp is horse power and whp is wheel horse power.....but i dont get those 2... O and also i forgot the abbreviations for the front engine and rear wheel drive and stuff like that can you guys give me a list?.....like those FR, FFand stuff like that.....

PS is just a German abbreviation for horsepower, and it's calculated slightly differently from HP. Look at the Wiki page for horsepower for more information. I know that 276 HP is equivalent to 280 PS, so 1 PS is about the same as 0.98 HP. They're almost equivalent ratings.

o and wats point of scions???? they haev low horse power and everything......

Scions are economical and practical cars. Not really fast, but they get good gas mileage, they're fun and easy to drive, they're not too expensive, and they have pretty good cargo and passenger room. Not exactly what you're looking for in a race car, but most people looking for a new car don't care that much about going fast. They'd much rather have something that's practical for everyday driving. And look at it this way - the Scions may be kind of slow, but they're extremely fast compared to many of the cars in GT4 (like the Daihatsu Midget, Ford Model T, Fiat 500, and the list goes on).

Let me just ask......wHat is the street legal law thingy for US....because you know i heard skyline is nnot street legal or something.....is there like HP limitations or something???

I'm 22 and I've had my driver's license since I was about two weeks shy of 17.

I don't know all the laws governing what makes a car street legal in the US, but the reason why the Skyline is not street legal is because it was never officially imported here and therefore it never went through the series of tests and inspections necessary to pass a car for sale in this country. A car must be crash tested, its emissions must be measured, its gauges and lights must comply with certain standards, and so on. It is a VERY involved procedure that only the very rich or car companies can afford to do. There are other Japanese cars that are easy to import, because certain models were sold in the US at some point. The Nissan 240SX, for example, was sold in the US as well as Japan, so you can bring over a Japanese 240SX (Silvia) rather easily. But the Skyline was never sold in the US so importing one is a tremendous and extremely expensive ordeal.

Import restrictions no longer have an effect after 25 years in the US, so you have to wait until 2015 to import a 1990 Skyline GT-R R32 without spending an arm and a leg getting it up to spec. One thing I have heard is that the restriction is only 15 years in Canada, meaning R32s are rather common up there. And in Australia, Skylines are even more common since, well, they were sold there.

A commer is a piece of punctuation which allows the sentence to be broken up without it being stopped. It is Commonly used to add information, withiout starting a new sentence.
eg: Sally, who was 13, was being very happy for a teenager!

It is taught to most Primary School Children for use in later life.

It seems that YOU did NOT pay attention in school.

tommeh.

 

[Sakiale]

They mean commas.
And bhp is brake horse power, no I canNOT evaluate on that.

 

[Smallhorses]

Wow, I didn't realise it'd be this difficult to get you to comprehend.
Since you're obviously not going to do as I suggested, and read it, I'll post the relevant bit for you here.

No slang words that promote laziness, ie; "r", "u", "plz", etc. will be tolerated. Decent grammar is expected, including proper usage of capital letters. Repeated violations will be grounds for suspension and/or permanent removal from the forums.

Is it sinking in yet?

You say in one post you'll use the proper language, then 2 posts later you post this nonsense:-

o and do u guys have driving licenses...or how old are u guys??? certainly not my age.....

Please, take a 30 minute break from posting and read some of the threads on the site. There are threads about how old folks are, what cars we drive, etc., etc. You can also find a lot of members DOB in their profiles. Click on someone's username, it'll bring up their profile. 👍

You've already ticked off several members, and 2 of the moderating staff with your posts this evening.
Please understand, we're trying to be patient with you, and also trying to give you useful information to help your posts attract the right kind of attention rather than the wrong kind. We don't like to see new members getting flamed or banned immediately, but it can & does happen from time to time when people fail to heed simple advice, and get upset and abusive in response.

 

[ßen]

I agree with SH. Very well said. Listen to Smallhorses, he is an experienced member of the GTP community, otherwise you'll have Famine or maybe even Duke, giving you a proper telling off. No that would be unpleasant. 👍

I'm curious, how old are you...
The skyline and many other japanese domestic cars are not street legal in the US because of many restrictions the US place on cars. There are smog, safety as well as many other things that prevent cars from entering the US. I was reading some of your threads earlier and I have doubts about you.

 

[Smallhorses]

One of the major sticking points for Skylines, as with a lot of small volume British cars, trying to sell in the US is the fact that they are simply not made in Left-Hand Drive (LHD) format.

Japan, Britain, Australia and a few other places use Right-Hand Drive (RHD) vehicles, and for exclusive vehicles like the Skyline, or TVRs the added expense of setting up an additional production line to produce left-hookers isn't practical for the manufacturer concerned.

 

[DLRgian]

FR, MR and AWD . I am not too fond of FWD. It just never really tickled my driving style.

 

[WhackAzn]

I am 14 on March 10, 2007 (I think or what year is it people?)
I live in Emerson, New Jersey [blank] Ackerman Avenue...
I like to play basketball but never signed up for a team.
I thank you guys for helping me get a better idea of cars, and i will try to do what i can to follow you guys' comments and tips. Luca I would like to thank you for that help, I didn't mean I hate those cars, but I'm just not the luxury type. SmallHorses thank you for the tips. (I'm doing my best right now)
Sakiale thank you for your supports too.
tommeh and luftrofl thank you for the negativities i guess...
Also I'd like to thank everyone else such as Duke and stuff.

Also I would like to add this question....wait I forgot, I'll edit it in later.

Ooh, cool, thanks.

You should also make a poll (you can ask a mod), and please edit that to say 'you' and 'your', etc. not abbrev.s. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

[WhackAzn]

uhh oops I mean your on the green part..

 

[WhackAzn]

mod?

 

[Smallhorses]

2 posts that were Ok-ish, then straight back to no apostrophes and using u and ur!

It's like trying to get it through to you, that if your posting doesn't improve you will not be tolerated.

Which bit of "Repeated violations will be grounds for suspension and/or permanent removal from the forums." are you having difficulty with?

Mod = Moderator. They'll be the people that will warn you, like 2 of them did in your drifting thread when you insulted us all, and after they've warned you, if you fail to act on the advice you've been given by everyone else throughout this thread, will be the ones with the power to ban you. Which you really really don't want. Trust me.
Look out for them, their names appear in bold blue type in the users online list at the bottom of the GTP Forums main board, such as daan, Pako, Duke, Sage to name but a few (with the shortest names! ) They also have an additional badge under their username and avatar in posts, kind of like the GT Premium and Quality Posts badges under mine. Their badges say Moderator, Super-Moderator or Administrator. You do not want to annoy these folks.

 

[WhackAzn]

Dang it! Sorry, I made corrections on it now.

 

[Sakiale]

PM a mod. Tell tehm to set up a poll on MR, FR, FF, or AWD.

Please learn English, maybe you arent too familiar with it, but if you can do it for one post you can do it for them all.

 

[GT4_Rule]

If this hasn't been mentioned already -

PS stands for something in German meaning Horse Power. It's an old way to measure engine power, although it's widely used in Europe and Asia. HP is "HorsePower" which is what we all know.

Skylines are (at least in Canada) legal but importers first has to perform modifications so that it fits in with the Canadian Law.

Edit: btw, if none of you has read my post on WhackAzn's other thread, I suggest you do now - here's my post: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showpost.php?p=2348954&postcount=28

It's not that I'm sympathizing with him, but it's that I see lots of bossy attitude from senior members toward new members and I don't like that - this is supposed to be a warm and a friendly forum.

 

[Luca]

It doesn't have to be perfect, it's just that when you use run-on sentences and made-up AOLspeak words like "ur" and "wats" over and over again, it tends to rag on people. You seem to be making an effort to make your posts more readable so I think you're fine.

Personally I find it very difficult to type incorrectly. I'm so fast at typing by now that it takes a conscious effort to type "ur" instead of "your." Two fewer keystrokes, but a lot more time spent merely thinking of what to do. Then again, I also habitually go back and correct my mistakes while I'm typing, and I'm close to graduating with a technical writing and editing degree, so I'm not really the norm.
