Damn, I have to get this update! Sounds sweet. I haven't had anytime to myself since Friday evening as I picked up a new dog and spending most of my time with him.

Back to the GT5 grind for some exotic and Spoon cars! :thumbsup: :D

the CRZ event is easy... I got first by the 3rd lap

anyone beat the skyline seasonal event yet? im using a r34 and i can only come up with second :(

here's my setup with an '09 spec V:

Transmission:
Max Speed: 280 kph

Downforce:
2/22

Drivetrain: (front/rear)
Initial Torque: 5/13
Acceleration: 20/45
Deceleration: 10/20
Torque Split: 25/75

Suspension: (front/rear)
Ride Height: -20/-20
Spring Rates (kgf/mm): 15.2/10.0
Dampers Extension: 6/6
Dampers Compression: 6/6
Anti-Roll Bars: 4/4
Camber: 2.2/1.5
Toe: +0.18/-0.10

Brake Balance (front/rear): 6/5

OK so I have beaten the Fiat, CRZ, Challenger, and GT-R event - yet cannot even complete a lap with the RX-7. WTF! It understeers like crazy, eats tires, then spins out.

Arg!

The Fiat event took the longest to get the right lines. The GT-R event was fairly easy with the 09 Spec-V, impossible with the R33. The CRZ event was the easiest.

Love the online dealership! I needed a German touring car and there's none for sale in the dealerships, nor the used lot the past few days.

the seasonal events are all pretty easy...add a close ratio tranny and you're good. With the fiat you need a custom tranny set to the lowest top speed.

i can't believe i still haven't bought this game yet, anyone know if superstore has some in stock?

buy it off craigslist.. way cheaper for brand new sealed or used but still mint

Took like a 5 day break, and i seem to have no urge in turning on the game anymore. =[

what does everyone think of the music selection in the game?

+1

finally bought the game today haha

That shit happens to me for everything I swear

Anybody got a FGT they wanna dupe?
I got a xjr-9 basically the same as the minolta i can dupe for you

And how does one "dupe" a car?

back up save game to a usb stick
gift car to friend
delete save game
restore save game from usb stick

now both of you will have the car

^ oh wow. lots has changed since I took a break.

i just started playing this game, just finished the install not too long ago but can anyone tell me how to change the date and time in the game?

wow i sat down today only having won gold in the challenger seasonal, fuckin ended up whippin up gold in every single event beat everyone by a good 5 - 10seconds, did they change the difficulty or something, is it easier now ??
this is using the damn controller too, i just kept whipping the cars into turns totally scrapping the smooth apex approach


so when are they gonna release new seasonal events, i wants more cash!

^ you must be pretty damn good, took me a lot of tries on the controller to get gold on all of them, particularly the tsukuba track with the fiat and clubman track with the gtr. But in the end I got em all, not in your fashion though except for the rx7 and crz race :)

lol it was pretty hard to get gold... i kept gettin silver... for the longest time... than.. i was like EFF it....
Skid Crtl: ON...
lol.. won by ike more than 10 seconds on every event =.=

from your PS3 date&time setetings

Do you have Skid Recovery Force on? If so, no wonder you can drive arcade style and win. Turn it off and try.

does it really matter what first car you buy when you start the game?

fck yea skid control was on, I'm using a gotdang controller I'm not gonna go chasing a simulation fix with a controller. I only have ABS on when I use my steering wheel.

I also like using controller for rally events, it's fckin exhausting whipping the steering wheel everywhere when you're rallying, controller its just a flick of the finger
