Hey guys,

saw this game at EB when i went to get GTA4..

Has anyone played it?? From what ive seen on youtube clips it seems pathetic... like really really shit.

The cars sound like different brand vacume cleaners and the handling looks similar to the 2fast 2 furious need for speed crap.

But yeah, thought this game was coming out in like august wasnt it?

Dean, exactly why I don't bother with the codemasters racing stuff anymore mate. Race Drivers 1 and 2 were massive disappointments, simply being ports from platform games so the steering and braking are nonlinear.

Avoid their product and get the good ones like are being discussed in my online racing league thread.

sorry if this is a dead thread but i was a manager at an EB Games store for a while, what you saw was a dummy box to let everyone know what is "coming soon" (would have been in the coming soon section with blue "coming soon" signs on the racks)

just so we are clear i HATE games like juiced, juiced 2, NFS, and the like for there completely disgusting handling and just lack of tuner culture knowledge, Forza 1 and 2 FTW

i have played the demo on Xbox Live, and it is one of the sweetest games iv ever played! and cant wait for it to come out

Looks like we have a GT5 killer not that GT5 was any good anyway.

Lol that is the most stupid thing i heard in this thread. Try take a corner in GT5 at over 150 and you will crash, do it in Racer Grid and you will fly round the coner without lifting off the accelerator. I downloaded the demo. Had one race and found it to be the shitteist game ever, deleted it 5 minutes later.

GT5 was a simulater, this game is just another need for speed.

I've been playing the demo today. It's actually pretty cool, the drifting is better than GT5 IMO. Depends what you're into though.

Stick with GT5 if you're into your simulators.

The replay mode is pretty cool and that little 'rewind' function was pulled off much better than Midnight Club did (or was it Burnout, can't remember).

I can see me getting over it in a week or so however.

But yeh to answer your question. Comes out on June 12th.

In regards to a GT Killer.... NOT EVEN CLOSE, Personally I don't think GRID is a NFS killer. I must admit though I am addicted to drifting the S15 in the demo and just to let you know how easy it is my current highest drift score on the 3 laps is 18.5 Million. The hardest boss for drift in the demo gets around 1.5-1.7 million just so you can compare.

I should have made my post a little more specific.

I meant in terms of gameplay and graphics, obviously the game style is different one being so called sim and the other arcade style and cannot be compared to one another in that regard.

Regardless gt5 is just a demo if and when it comes out i am sure all its flawed elements will be ironed out.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
