oh and i managed to roll a car for the first time (my N1 gtr) on saturday on the trial mountain track. twice in the 1 lap, LOL. first time was on the very first corner (trying to be a smart arse and weaving between cars off the start line rather than going around the outside). the second time was at the last corner of the track. you come down the hill and have the chicane before the start line. i cut the right hand bend a little bit too much and flipped it. still ended up winning the race easily though, LOL.

my B-spec drivers are still retarded... as you said, no taking the inside line, etc..

my best AI guy is now level 25, so he doesn't brake stupidly early for corners anymore and takes pretty neat lines- But he's still prone to overtaking on the long side a fair bit

I guess by the time he gets to around lev 30, he'll be better than me :'|

erm..... i do that sometimes...... lol

oh and i saw another mildy amusing name. T. Mckinney. i just pretended that it was Todd Mckinney, that silly douche from dancing with the stars, and ran him off the road and into a wall at the first corner.

Isn't the Zonda a famed premium super detail car?

its funny how forza fanboys such as this guy seem to be more interested in trying to pick apart GT5 than actually playing their precious forza.

whatever makes you feel a little better about the forza series being owned several times over in sales bro..

If I cared about sales I'd buy Black Ops. GT5 took 12 days to get to 5.5M, Black Ops sold 7 Million copies....on day 1. I still hate it.

I don't play Forza 3 that much anymore. I played it a fair bit when it was new though, over a year ago.

and from what i see of that pic, what it says is "GT5 have missed out the tiniest little detail on the zonda, but the actual graphics are a buttload better"

the initials are randomly put with a bunch of surnames from a list...some of the surnames are typos on purpose I would think, like Weber I saw.

still haven't tried online yet, think I want to get all the gold licences :)

my bro and i have come to the relisation that once you hit endurance races you will have too race them over and over and over to reach the 24h races..

we are both around the same stage on level 23 and finished every a spec race we have unlocked as well as every specail event besides some of the AMG challenegs, so you will need to re do races a lot.

online races are so good when there are fair restrictions and if only there were exp points for online races then this problem would be fixed..

i dont really mind doing races over and over but by looking at the exp points needed to reach those higher levels you will need to re do some of those endurance races like 50 times

yea it does get fkn repetitive doing the same races all the time. does anyone know if you get xp for online races? that would at least help a little bit

I'm wondering whether there may be updates down the track with extra events in it. Wouldn't suprise me if there were

yea thats the beauty of the next gen consoles with online access the creators can just change the game however they like by releasing patches/expansions via dlc and essentially everyone has access to it.

rather than back in ps2 days when you bought a new game and that was that

I know it probably wont happen, but I will be stoked if they decide to bring Spa Francorchamps as a track in a download eventually

Highly doubt it will happen but you never know. Should have been in the game from the beginning, I love the flow of the track

to be honest, i can see gt5 seeing the ps3 through until the end. they really have no need to create a whole new game from scratch when they can just keep adding things to this one. i mean they cant really take the graphics any further the framerate suffers in parts as it is.

and i've just gone a whole day without playing gt5 for the first time since release.. it feels wierd

currently doing my first B-spec Mx-5 4hr event with 4 Bobs- my 2 good guys, and two aggro n00bs I'm training. gunna win this by over 10+ laps to 2nd place regardless. gotta do it 2 more times to get to L26.

and in the mean time, I've figured out to get from level 30 to level 32 (which unlocks the Nür 4h) will take over 1.8 million xp- which means I'll have to run the Suzuka 1000 kay event at least 6 times (at ~6 hours a pop)

lucky my PS3's only a few months old! no one could ever complain GT5 is 'easy to finish'...

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
