The parts you had purchased and installed on the stock body can be reinstalled on the wide body at no extra charge if I remember correctly.

Only the rear wing can be installed back for free. you will have to buy again front, back and side aero kits.
 
This is not a frequently asked question but a question i would like an answer to...
A bit of info prior to the question, I am a PS4 slim user with a good internet connection and I have three accounts for GT7, the primary has the PS+ and the other two are family type that carries over.
Here is the situation, when I start up GT7 on my primary account I see in lower right corner the words "saving game" and the basic GT7 circle timing thing in center. The "saving game" blinks about 8 times before the main entry screen appears, but on my other two accounts it will blink only 4 times before I will see the entry screen.
I would like to know why the difference in the timing of the startup screens.
I would have the known "startup infinite cycle" fron time to time and is why I started counting.the blinks wheras if the blinks exceeded the usual number I knew I would have to quit and restart.
Has anyone else noticed this timing cycle and can anyone explain why my primary starting routine is longer than the other accounts?
(Totally geek questions I know)
Video is of one of my alt accounts, count the blinks in lwr right corner...

Can someone please explain to me how to make a fresh start (completely from scratch)? Do I need to change my account?

And, importantly, have you done it yourself and did you think it was a good idea or a terrible decision?

I think I want a fresh start because I made some bad economic decisions and disposed of cars I shouldn't have. I didn't really play the game right from the start.

Started to race online recently, even when I get a good run out of a corner and start to close the gap to the person in front, they start to pull away even when it’s the same car.

I think it’s down to not doing manual shifting, does this make that big a difference? Or what other reason could be causing this?

Have you looked to see if your throttle input is going to 100%? I've had issues with both a DS4 trigger and T3PA pedals not going to 100% (fixed the latter with some electrical contact cleaner)

Could be a couple of things. Perhaps their car is configured specifically for acceleration at low speeds but it could also be the auto shifting issue.

I had the exact problem with my DS4 controller and bypassed it by using the right analog stick for throttle / brake

It could be a visual thing only. When accelerating out of a corner the visual distance between the cars increase even if the time difference does not. That can make it seem like your car is outperformed by the car in front of you, even if the performance is identical.

Manual shifting could contribute, depending on what the power curve of your car looks like. If it drops off rapidly as you approach the rev limiter then you could improve your performance by shifting early.

It could also be that they have tuned the gearbox for closer ratios, which would allow them to run the engine closer to peak power throughout the acceleration phase.

If they start to pull away at high speeds it could be that your car is setup for higher downforce, which increases the aerodynamic drag.
