AI was real good.

You'd have to plan how you were gonna takle it cos if you ran into a room you would get absolutely pwned.

The whole little girl walking around got a little tiriing cos she didn't do anything and wasn't scary after the first time you see her.

FEAR was the only FPS that i have played for a while - now have a copy of Oblivion.

I usually stick with the sim racing games. Computer is a bit slow now and having boot up troubles that won't go away even with a format :D

Mine too has boot up issues.

For a reason that is unknown it now cold boots to fail safe cpu speeds. It requires myself to enter the bios and resave. It resets and all is good.

Nothing to do with the battery, its a motherboard fault.

Its around 4yrs and has been overclocked all its life so its been good. Bit like my rb20t gearbox, took a hammering for quite some time before it let go. :D

I have been playing GTR for around 2 years now. Its one of the nost realistic sims around - even get a motec suit for your computer to set your car up properly :D i had to order a copy from germany so i don't get english on all the screens.

My comp gets stuck on the windows loading screen sometimes can be stuck for upto 20+ mins and restarting doesn't help. Been like this for a long time when i had faulty ram in and have formatted two times scince

First time on this thread and I can see why you guys hot up your cars growing up in the computer age.

I hotted up my first car, a Valiant 225 slant six with twin 4 barrel holleys in 1969 and pulled a flat 14 Quarter (Killing GTHO's;-) and there were no computers to influence me back then.

Thinking about it that probably got me started in computers and hotting them up :)

And lets not get started on computer games:LOL

Sinbin the guys that made GTR are fairly similar as they got the licence for the FIA GT after they did a mod for f1 2002

the cars are hard to handle on this when you first play it. but you get used to it after a while, especially with a steering wheel.

Just had a play of GTR.

Pretty awesome game, not as hard as I expected but none the less still difficult to control wheel spin without traction control on.

    • Does this count as a time trial as well? I got all gold in the master super licence (1 lap time trial) and received a McLaren MP4/4 for my trouble.  If anyone else has done this, did you ride the wall right around the first long right hander at Lake Louise snow track to get gold? I couldn't do it any other way... best I could do without riding the was was within 2 tenths of the gold time.
    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
    • I hadn't got that far, my main worry was the connection to the actual calipers themselves. I'm just using new (ish) stock brake lines in the stock setup. I've just had a stud welded to the knuckle that is a little lower than the original stud (so my knuckles have two studs each side) to not have it be stretched so far in previous BBK setups, so the "block" (in the second picture) mounts a little lower for me and I hope I don't need to change anything. I may have even changed the connection to the calipers in the past and have since forgotten I did that. I may not have. Guess how I'm gonna find out. Source: hopium
    • It's more so I'm using the 1x piece line from HEL that goes from the body to the caliper. There's no middle block/mount like the HFM ones or the GKtech ones. There are certain angles/suspension compression where the line actually slightly contacts the ARB. Below of how mine sit (not my photo): How I want it:
