"Only" 82 degrees? We're lucky to hit 70. lol

So jealous, I hate how hot and muggy it is here Worst part about virginia - one day its 99 the next its 55

3,000 posts!

No I'm not sure what's up with the weather here right now. Another drop to 80 tomorrow, then we're back up to 98 degrees by friday.

 

[filphil89]

Not sure either. It's the same in NJ/NY except this week is supposed to be consistently in the 60 - 70 range.

 

[dsgerbc]

I'M ALMOST LVL. 40! That's how bad it's gotten.

Yeah, I even started one of those 24hr endurances, which I never thought I'd do until there was save feature.

It's a conspiracy, pd hacked psn so all gt5 owners would be forced to complete the game

I went ahead and postponed the entire series until after I get back from Silverstone. Because of that I may bring Tsukuba back, but we'll have to wait and see.



More like summer here already. Although I went hiking yesterday in 95+ degree heat, then a breeze comes though today and the high is only supposed to be 82. Now I'm stuck at work.

no idea why humans insist on living in the desert.
spring sprung here on Saturday, by the afternoon every tree in the City decided to bloom all at once.

Enjoy the English weather.

Hey Turbo - Since we hapened to talk about VVT effects, I've recently found dyno results of the VVT at full retard and full advance. V E R Y interesting to say the least.

Same turbo, same spark & fuel map, only difference is VVT.

I walked to Subway on my lunch and it's really nice out there. To nice of a day to be stuck behind a desk. 👎

@ phil: Yeah I know, seen lots of dyno plots when I worked at FM when we were tuning VVT cars.

Last week in San Diego it was sunny with temps in the 70s and 80s. This week its like England in the fall, but thats SD for you.

Never go full retard.

I've seen graphs like that in the past, but I wonder if someone has done a similar graph with a middle setting.

 

[filphil89]

I'm not sure how VVT settings are done, but the VVT definitely aids in spooling the turbo. You can set it so that you can have the best of both worlds and have the early spool and unaffected top end from what I've read. I think turbo posted up a graph earlier of the benefits of VVT. Either way you can find the dyno sheet on the FM website.

There's bound to be someone on the forum already complaining about diminished significance of platinuming the game

I'll just leave this bundle of joy here.

1. Practice

^o^

 

[CodeRedR51]

Umm, got me confused.

Do the physics feel right?

WAIT their is a save feature?????

So bored with PSN still down.

 

[filphil89]

There isn't a save feature. He just didn't imagine himself doing a 24hr endurance until a save feature was implemented.

 

[mira_alex]

hmm got my hopes high, so you really have to drive for 24 freaking hours??? No B-spec like GT4.

 

[dsgerbc]

^ well, you can get it down to 15-16 hours in an X1. And supposedly you can glitch one of them.

FM updated the nose of their 2006 to the new style, then vinyl wrapped the car in preparation for the Targa Newfoundland:

You guys gotta quit talking about buying Miatas, you got me scanning craigslist now with the desire for one and I don't even have the means to get one if I found a good one!
