Shit! You guys are going to finish the game before I get started - the dratted project I am on is killing all my time. The only silver lining is I could learn the tricks from you guys

finally got to play for 8 straight hours last night.... i just couldnt stop.. hands started to cramp up and i still couldnt let go of the controller.. i am addicted.

handling is still a little off from reality.... really thinkin bout gettin the force pro wheel to see if that makes it better..

driving on the 'Ring is absolutely crazy! I never thought it was that narrow in real life.... so far my best time is a lousy 10:20 in a 233HP NA MR2 G-Limited.. i wasnt aware of the 'Historic showroom' and bought my first car from the used lot... doh

edit:

anyone else annoyed how long you have to wait just to change your oil?! i mean.. COME ON!

I get the feeling we're finally seeing a slowing to the post count folks

What is everyones times on the NS with what car?

I ran a 9:08 with a 401HP '92 300ZX (first time on the 'Ring in any game

)

Still not tried myself at the ring.. I just completed B license, aiming at silver licence at list.. and well, silvers are pretty easy actually, but golds are indeed harder than I remember: either harder than in GT3 either I am growing worse at such games with the age

Anyway I got B license with 5 golds and all the rest silvers. Still not sure if the medal in the coffe break counts.. (silver anyway)

One thing that I find to be both annoying and cool... I'm not using all my money to upgrade my cars because I'm saving most of it to buy cars from the used car lots. Which means that most of my cars have minor mods (chip, flywheel, stage 1 lightening), so the races can be fairly competitive.

Also, I really like the Mazda RX-8. The suspension is really nice. The suspension on the Evo MR blows. So much nosedive when you hit the brakes!

No, coffee break didn't count....I have bronce and they still give me the silver medal bonus car. (if it were to count, I will be in deep trouble)

Great article dutchmaster

30,000+ images to recreate the Nurburgring :shock: Fuck me, that's alot of patience and work. I don't think i could have mapped out every 15MM the way the were talking about :shock:

Edit: Pimp Racer, you can't race the Caterham. I just tried it.

Yup I know you cant.

Has anyone done this yet? How many attempts did it take you? Tough test?

I did my IA liscense last nite and on my first try I was doing VERY VERY VERY good and so I decided to push my limits and kinda spun out and you know the rest....

8 minutes gone just like that! BTW I kept on drifting my car!

It was kinda scary and thrilling!
This game is worth the 50 bucks just for having the ring!

BTW TT coffe breaks dont count.

dutchmasterflex looking at the article! Thanks alot man!

dutchmasterflex · 02-25-2005, 05:22 PM

hah.. good stuff.. always wanted a MR2.. what color did you get? im gonna get a thumb drive probably this weekend.. gonna take pics of my baby... in GT4.

Pimp Racer · 02-25-2005, 05:27 PM

dutchmasterflex what type of thumb drive are you gonna get? Not all of them work with the PS2! So tell me which one you are gonna get and I can see on GTP if its compatible.

*EDIT*

Also to make it simple and easier for most of the owners of GT4 I have added the Price car list and the when the tracks are avaliabe list to the first post!

Now I gotta add them to my site!

Pimp Racer · 02-25-2005, 07:29 PM

Oh man! FINALLY after so many days I update and I update big! I added the prize car list for GT4!

Took me a good fucking 2 hours or so!

I just looked through Nissan's new car line up...and the GT-R concept...can you say, PLATFORM SHARING?

5vz-fe · 02-25-2005, 09:05 PM

I don't know about platform sharing, but definitely engine sharing....the almost the entire NA line up has the 3.5L VQ Engine. I suppose it's not a bad thing, the engine is smooth and powerful.
