Modifying cars...

[aldo_nufc]

I want to modify a few of my cars such as the Peugeot 106, but it says only none standard cars can be modified. Can anyone tell me what cars this includes? Thanks

Welcome to

Standard cars are the ones from the used car dealer. Premium are the ones from the car dealer.

Standard cars can be modified, ie tuned, the same as premiums. If you mean race modified, then there are only 17 premium cars that this applies to. (A list of them is in the GT5 FAQ sticky at the top of the forum)

When you say modify do you mean using the GT auto facilities (i.e. buying / changing the wheels) or do you mean modifiying as in tuning??

Alot of cars that are standard cars (not premium cars) can't have their wheels changed, painted or for a few, no aerodynamic devices are available.

The race modification option (in GT auto) only applies to 17 cars, there is a sticky thread for this.

Most premium cars are the opposite, there are more aero options and you can chnage or paint the wheels.

Go to your garage and see whether your car is in the premium or standard part of your garage.

Virtually all cars can be modified in some way shape or form through the tunng facility, some cars can have most of the parts available fitted, other cars can only have a few. This is not usually determined by whether they are premium or standard, this is determined by what sort of car they are i.e. race cars and special edition road cars have few options, whereas normal road cars tend to have most options available.

EDIT:

I'd already starting typing this before Daan's reply - I'm not very fast at typing!

You have options - Arcade mode split screen 2 player (if you are in the same place) or go online, create a room and have your friend join you, however, there is a possibility that others i.e. random people online (who are neither your or your friend's friends) might come into your room.

You could just go into your 'lounge' create a room and that way only your friend's can join you, not random people online, but (it gets confusing) any of their friends can join them, at any time, in your 'lounge'.
