All you have to do is buy a copy on US Ebay and have it shipped here .... too easy. Or better yet, the gay classification (or lack thereof) makes it almost legitimate for us to pirate/torrent the game

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.

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
