not to mention sometimes the whole raked, sitting on slicks and skinnies look is just bad ass. And can ya do wheelies? I want to see this in game:



and no its not my car.... I wish I had the money to have a separate drag-setup sitting for when I take it to the stirp.

 

my newest car haha





iDrift

 

Agreed.

 

Oh by the way.

Anyone notice that using a manual w/ clutch makes your car faster?

Try it out, I ran with the 01' S4, a 14.6 with the A/T, 14.3 with the M/T and a 14.0 with the M/T with clutch.

It's ridiculous, but I guess its there to provide an incentive for using the M/T with clutch, which I use all the time anyway.

 

tune > MT

people in the top 10 for each class are running auto's in the 1/4's

i run MT on the strip... i race tracks auto simply b/c i can concentrate more on breaking/accelerating out of turns.

and b/c i smoke mt guys on tracks all day

 

Nope, at least I can't, maybe somebody out there has a secret setup for actually doing a good rwd launch

 

lol I like to use MT because engine braking works in the game too, at least it does for FM2. Downshift at the right moment and the engine will slow you down even more than just braking. Downshift too early though and you'll get overrev damage.

In real life its the complete opposite.... usually a stalled auto with a transbrake will launch like a mofo and it tends to be more consistent. I know you know this though.

We'll see how my lap times are when I play FM3

 

My first acurazine creation. Thanks for the vinyl JRhodes88

 

Wait, wait, wait....point to point is in the game? Sweet!

And how is the clutch used, specifically with the wheel?

 

you can use the controller too...

but there is a wheel set that is floating around with a clutch im told... im looking for a good wheel/pedal setup as we speak.

 

If you want to adjust the cockpit camera view, take a look here:

Ahh thank you. The default view is way too zoomed in.

 

Just reached Level 11 and BMW sent me a E90 M5

 

E60 M5??

Thanks for the cockpit view link. I agree that the original is too zoomed in.

 

A 3 series-like M5? This I gotta see!

 

e60 is right

3 series is e21 e30 e36 e46 and e90

 

Shit

My fault!

 

Here's that "E90" M5





Yes my left fender is messed up...I gave a RS6 a little push out of the way on the first corner

 

I'm installing it right now, I can't wait! Is it hard to make money btw? It took forever in FM2! Or are all the customized cars above chosen in "Free Run"?

 

No, it's not hard to make money. My advice is to not buy a lot of cars. I'm on level 37 or 38 and I've probably bought 10 cars out of the 45 that I currently own (you get one car for each level.) The only reason why I bought the 10 is because I wanted to see how fast they would be fully modded.

 

Can you play in Free Run by yourself without having to race with others? I have no motivation to play in career now that I have all these cars avalaible with LCE.

 

^I haven't tried actual circuit races in Free Run yet, only drag races. I know in the drags, you have opponents everytime. I haven't checked if there is an option to turn it off though

 

My shift started just before F3 came out, still another week before I get home

 

im regretting picking up shift because i cant participate in his thread.


but shift is the shit

 

^Damn. You are missing out! I'll be on around 1 tonight

I hit level 15 earlier this afternoon and got a Ferrari California! I really want to buy some cars, but with getting a new car every level, I don't want to drop bank on a car and then get it for free eventually.

 

i dont think im missing out too much. gimme one sec and ill show u why

 

Yep. Just select Hot Lap.

 

If you don't win the cars you can't paint them like I do.



Oh, I see what you mean.

 

^

 

pshhh you know you wanna get on F3 with everyone!

we had a drifting session the other night..

shift looks ok too though

 

I need everybody's input on this....I'm looking to build a drag car but don't know what to choose from. I've thought about an Evo X but just haven't pulled the trigger. Any suggestions?

 

Datsun 510 with a drivetrain and engine swap is gonna put you in the low 20s in the 1 mile run. When I upgraded one, I was in the top 10% before I sold it. It was faster than my upgraded Veyron. I'm pretty sure with a better tune, I would have been closer to the top 5%, but I'm just not interested in drag racing as much.

 

What's the whole thing with shifting with ''MANUAL'' instead of shifting with "MANUAL+CLUTCH"? Are you suppose to shift, give it a second or two then reapply the gas?

 

I've seen all of the top times with that car, and as awesome as it is, I don't want to be the norm. I'm sure I'll have one eventually, but not now.

Any suggestions besides the 510?

I drive using the manual tranny, not the manual and clutch. I've tried it though, and as soon as I let go of the clutch, I was right back on the gas. Just go to hot lap and play with it until you figure it out. I personally don't like it, but that's my

 

This game is just way too awesome, I can't wait another day, I'm gonna go buy this right now. Lol. Glad I didn't buy shift and waited for this...time to wipe the dust off the 360!

 

 

I must say, the lighting in the vinyl shop sucks.

 

Agreed. And I hate how you can't rotate the car around 360 degrees while adding vinyl to the top of the car

 

The two newest members of the garage:

 

Ooh. Are ya'll just doing races in career mode and taking those pics? Only pic mode I see is in that same crap lighted vinyl shop.
