Just got home. I'll open up a room when I get on the ps3 and get some stuff done.
 
By the way guys, I have a silly question for you. I painted my car a long time ago, and it turns out when the car's running, even though my rims are yellow, when in movement I see them in black!!

It's always happened, from day 1, but then I've seen a picture in this thread where the rims did not look black, and I wondered... is it just the picture? Anyone else with the same problem? I'm doing the RX7's breaking in, so I can't re-paint the wheels anyway, although I probably will during today... just in case. Oh, if anyone wants to try, the color I used on the wheels is "Giallo Modena".

Litchi showed CSL and myself this a couple of weeks ago. Seems like it's just a harmless glitch.
 
So it'd be considered "normal", right? I mean whatever color I have, it'll still happen? I was thinking of using a different shade of yellow, just in case. But if everyone's having this problem anyway, there's no point on trying...
 
My car details are on the main page, put me down for room #2, I'll see you guys on Sunday.
Laters!
 
Yeah, don't bother.

Sorry for not getting a room up. I should head to bed and get up at a decent time and get some xmas shopping in.

EDIT: Joe, you should still sign up for the practice race like how everyone else has (quoting the post, etc.)

Ayyo. I found a solution. This glitch works only if you ave painted your original wheels. If you change your wheels and then you paint them, it solve ;):yup: .

Any question?

:cheers:
 
Sorry but I'm going to be that guy drops out way before the season starts.. Decided I'll only be racing one more series next year.
 
I need to get some miles on my lobes if anyone is up.

What is "xmas"? :P
 
Excuse me for a stupid question, but have we decided on tuning? I've been hesitant to do any testing since I'm not sure how we should be testing...

I think it's still up in the air, hence 1 race with tuning and 1 race without tuning for Sunday.


BTW - Mule, I'm going to have to miss this first races (Tomorrow) unfortunately. :irked:
I might be able to run the first race of the 2, if it starts exactly at 4PM EST.
Have to leave at 4:30, so probably won't try as I'd most likely have to quit with a lap or 2 to go. :(
 
Maybe you should consider moving this series to Saturdays rather then sundays Since some people will be racing In the Pure series 💡

of course... I would have crossed it out if I closed it.

Been doing some testing ... IMO there's two options.
RH + Tuning
RM - Tuning

I ran it stock on RH, then switched to RM, then went back to RH and tried to tune the car down to the same performance as the RM and got real close.
With the stock suspension and weak aero the RM tires make it feel a lot more like a race-car. Much more confidence and you spend your time trying to make the corner faster rather than trying to keep it pointed the right direction. The RM tires even wear better since the car does so much less sliding around. Mainly, you get a lot more confidence in the car with the increased grip.
I was able to tune in enough grip with the aero and some suspension tweaking to get down to the same level of confidence and grip that the RMs give stock. Didn't touch the Diff since I'm afraid to apply it and then not be able to take it off again.

My vote goes for no-tuning on RM; I hate tuning cars in GT5... but the car is great either way.

I agree with RM's no tuning isn't to bad, I think I suggested that way back in these pages. ;)

I honestly didn't think people would be game for more then RH rubber. I do like the ease like we had in FMSC of never tweaking, just focusing on the car, I'll admit. Not to say tuning is as hard as people make it sound though. :P
 
I haven't had a chance to test the car with RMs yet. I'll have to do so today.

This car has over twice the amount of power. It's a whole different beast. :P
