the most expensive car i have is a 427 corba.

i'm guessing you are using the share cars function, giving the car to a second account you have, not saving the first one (so you don't lose the car) and then giving the car back to your first account?

i don't really see the point. i had close to a million dollars without doing a single race in A-spec or B-spec, just the special events.

How are people going with the drift events? I find it pretty damn hard! Anything with a decent amount of power in it I keep spinning out or coming off the track. I try to power oversteer to gain control but can't get decent enough speed. So instead I try to use the hand brake a bit but it's to hard to keep it on the track. Any tips for what people are doing?

I found the drifting in this so much esier that prologue. i can keep a drift going round the whole of tsukuba including the back straight. that is in a shelby corba with 450hp or so and stock tyres.

Yeah i won a f**kload of money just from getting gold's in all the go-karts

ok so im well into the extreme events now. i have to say.. does anyone else feel like theres a huge chunk of this game missing?? like theres no machine test (400m, 1000m, top speed??) or even a test track for that matter like every other GT had. where are the endurance races??

is there another section that opens up after you finish the extreme stuff or what??

or is this stuff still to come via DLC or something??

Yeah i'm feeling the same, big part of the game missing, i'm already at 50% and it's way too easy. From what i have read there ARE endurance races, they must open up once we finish extreme. They also forked up by not putting in a drag strip, i mean... how easy is it to do?

ha! i think i just found the droids i was looking for..

Overview: In Gran Turismo 5, you can an Endurance Races, after conquering the Extreme stage and getting the specific level.

http://tutorial.downloadatoz.com/gran-turismo-5-endurance-races-track-locations-list.html

the endurance races start at level 25. what is a pain in the ass though is there isn't enough races at each level to see you through to the next level, i.e you have to keep doing the same races over and over to level up and unlock the next ones. thats getting old real fast.

i don't think they bothered with the drag strip, etc since you can easily make one in the track creator.

as for the game seeming small, yeah i thought the same, however a lot of stuff gets unlocked as you go. apparently when you reach level 30 the sebastian vettel redbull challenge gets unlocked. the endurance races don't start to get unlocked until level 25. races include:

300 Kilometers at Grand Valley (Level 25)

4 Hour Roadster (Level 26)

200 Miles at Laguna Seca (Level 27)

500 Miles at Indianapolis (Level 28)

1000 Kilometers at Suzuka (Level 30)

4 Hours at Nurburgring (Level 32)

9 Hours at Tsukuba (Level 33)

24 Hours at Le Mans (Level 35)

24 Hours at Nurburgring (Level 40)

EDIT: damn, beaten to it

I tried making one but couldn't get one long straight road, the best i got was a triangle with 3 straightish roads lol. Also not starting next to each other etc is gay.. usually just go that no chicanes track with mates and just call out a time to go on the timer for roll ons or dragging :P

last night i spent 1 1/2 hours on the f**king lotus challenge. finally got gold.

ive completed the karts, top gear challenges, begginer, ametuear and professional series.

a couple of things ive struggled with are the lambo night challenge (probs 2 hours worth and the best i can acheive is about 1 sec of the lead which i got about 6 or 7 times and they seemed like flawless runs??)

also the gravel track on the seb loeb challenge is hard best i can get is about 4 seconds off bronze and i was at that for a while.

morea tip but what would be a good car for the GT rally becasue u need a car under 245hp and most cars u cant fit dirt/ snow tyres on so what car should i get.

any tips????

I bought a new Lancia Delta for the GT rally and it was fantastic!

been thinking about buying the logitech g27, with a WRC playseat, http://playseat.com/shop/media/catalog/product/cache/5/image/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/w/r/wrc-seat-logitech-g27.png

anyone have this done?

and can tell me how much it all cost them, also how real will it feel playing GT5 with a setup like that?

G27 rocks, and the play seat looks good...if you can justify paying that much for a frame. im not a big fan of the bar between the legs design of it tho.

good to hear the enduro's are there.

i dont mind honing my skills by repeating races to get there. just means more money and more cars i can buy. thats always been what i do in GT games. i had more than 500 cars in GT4 (not just alot of the same car in differnet colors)

got my 270R already, R34 GTR pace car, and a datto bluebird/1600 rally car. lotsa fun.......still waiting anxiously every day for my 400R

+1 agreed, the G27 is fkn fantastic. Had a play with a mates driving force GT setup on the weekend... my G27 felt like a $1,000+ setup in comparison... its far superior in quality and feel.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
