That's what I used. Do an engine rebuild and throw few upgrades in it and you'll be good to go.

Damn that was fast Jm. It's a shame my B-Spec driver is an idiot. Couldn't even beat the FF race filled with 250 HP vehicle with a 392 HP Civic. Maybe it's the understeering of the FF car with turbo lag, but still.
I'm replacing his stupid ass with a new guy I'm leveling up.

Hey lads, had a great week of GT5 during the holiday break. Had to share GT5 with some cousins most of the break but we had some fun getting the 400 km/h trophy. It became painful watching awful driving but I got some seat time late at night.
All Licenses golded, all races up to expert series golded, and working on events. Put in a killer lap in the 300SL to gold the beginner AMG event. 8:37.236
I feel your pain in the Elise challenge. Very frustrating. Took me many times to gold that one
This game is amazing and I can't wait to ge back to NYC and play it more. I love all the gift giving that you guys are doing. Once I finish the game an start amassing cash like I do in every GT game,
maybe I will give away a Ferrari each week or something.
Glad to see the thread has calmed down a little. Or so it seems.

WTF with the Lamborgini Miura '67???
I can't win nearly any classic car race if there is one of those motherfuckers, specially in B-Spec. I drive a overtuned 711 bhp Dodge, and the Miura (theorically 350 bhp) has better acceleration, better top speed and makes the turns faster. I played a Rome B-Spec race, and there were 3 Miuras and 2 Countach, in the 16 cars roaster, and in the end the 5 Lambos were in the top5.

It's not really friends codes, it's a more easy way of finding the server in public unless you're friends with the person.

Even in B-Spec mode this game is fun lol.
WTF. That was fast. I can't even get some of the beginner series B-specs done as I don't have the right car/tires for them. :| That and the AI's are fucking stupid. ARGH.

Little over an 90 minutes for the first, 4 hours for the next, and this last one was almost 2 hours. Next one is the Indy 500, so 2.5 hours for that probably. There is a 9-hour race, followed by the two 24-hour races. No signs of the ability to save and resume :/

I know the A.I couldn't even beat a bunch of stock car with a tuned up one. The opposing A.I corners much faster and my A.I brakes WAY TO DAMN EARLY.TheSeks said:
Sales age later on today, I look at myself in the mirror and say "why do you care?" It's because I can kingdizzi, it's because I can. Has anyone seen adverts for this game yet? I was asleep all day today so maybe it came on during the Chelsea vs lucky fucking geordies match, really weird how I have seen zero GT5 adverts since this time last year Sony were pushing UC2 like crazy. Maybe those few adverts they did last week during a few football matches were it, that's enough for Sony. :lol :lol

My Swift can ace all the other cars in the other races because of the one or two straights but because there isn't a decent straight in that particular race (forget which track it was) when Y. Yamauchi catches up, he brakes way too fucking early and drops back.Crakatak187 said:

It's the same as PC IP address connecting via a console command. It isn't as terrible as you think. What, you want matchmaking servers to where you can't make GAF games for people not on your friends list to join? Because if that's the case, please smack yourself.
Server browser > Matchmaking, any day of the week.
Huh?

My AI is generally fine. But the damn cars for the cups suck. I kinda wish I could abuse and use my stealth Mclaren and Gamestop NASCAR like I can in A-Spec. :/

*Smacks oneself* Slow down pace is to raise the bar to the left, Maintain pace is to stay at same behavior, Pace up is to raise the bar to the right. A.I Drive best in the middle.
Man should have made my first guy in the middle not hot headed red.

why does 'share with friends' upload stuff? Is it being hosted by Sony/PD so that people can see your lounge and shared stuff even when your PS3 is off?
you know what would be cool? If I could view a photo in my photo album, click 'edit' and it loaded the photo travel area with the car in the same location etc so I could tweak/make another photo.

You can switch AI's in for the race, but I REALLY fear for the PS3 being left on for 24 hours than the race itself.
Actually, him in the red will get him out of the pack early in general. Red means they're stressed but fighting. Blue means they're relaxed and "asleep at the wheel." Heading toward red is slightly better unless you're in the lead, in which case you want him near blue, but pacing up to where he isn't "totally asleep at the wheel."

Also, pardon my ignorance, but how do I set my controller to "1" ?
Yes you will

Is it possible to get Gold on A-3 License with active steering off?

Man, this game is so awesome, it totally rocks and I love it. I'm at lvl 13 and just got gold in every A and B license test. I'm really having fun ... oh, wait. What is this? Hey, I know this old account ... wait. I was playing GT5 with my old account that I don't use for online anymore ... and if I switch accounts I have to start over ... OH GOD, FUCK!
Oh well ... :lol

I'm having a hard time drifting. (Both understanding it, and actually doing it.)
I get the idea of what needs to happen, but I end up throwing the vehicle into a crazy spin.
I've watched a couple videos on YouTube for Prologue, but they don't seem to help me when playing GT5. (Then again, I don't know much about tuning vehicles for drift situations.)
Any advanced gaffers care to put together the basics of drifting? Both car preparation/modification and the drifting itself?

I thought about adding something to it, but then when I won the first truck race 32 seconds in front of the nearest opponent, I didn't really think it needed it :lol
