  1. I've got the season pass, seemed a no-brainer considering I know that I'm going to lap up every last bit of DLC for this I very much doubt we'll ever see the Ring on F5. The sheer amount of work to get a normal track up to F5 standards with the new mapping system is immense, much less a place like the Ring. It would be nice mind, but I'd rather see Suzuka and Tsukuba back if I'm honest. The Ring doesn't really do a lot for me, either in game or in real life.
  2. That's well within the range I'd expect, especially using Beissbarth gear. You could get it done elsewhere, but for a full alignment including all adjustments that's a very good price.
  3. It's not a waste, it's an investment I love racing games, but on a pad it's just not the same. With a wheel, it becomes so much more real and you can truly appreciate the skill of the programming to get the cars to feel the way they do. I'll chuck in a copy of F2 or F3 (or both if I've got them) from my collection too, if you want.
  4. G27 will not fit due to the top mounting bracket (it's why I need a new one!), and because I'm a gimp I undid everything before taking a photo of it together Here's a stock image though, and it really does look like this: I hd mine more reclined, but you can set it up any way you want it. When I bought it, I didn't expect it to be half as clever as it actually is.
  5. I was rushing so I could keep it updated, and all I did was c+p your time across. I didn't check if it was faster than the guy above, so please accept my humble apologies for this heinous error. I'll update it now. Going forward, it would probably be easier if we updated this ourselves via quotes. Just c+p the lap times (don't need the GTs as they can stay on the first page as reference), and then I'll update them once a week or so. The current times to aim for would then be the ones that the guy before you has posted IYSWIM. Also, anyone game for a special challenge, if I set one up? i.e. a specific car and class challenge, or a stock car challenge.
  6. Looks ace matey, lucky sod
  7. TX458. Comes with the gash Ferrari 458 wheel though, so I've ordered the less gash 458 Challenge GTE wheel to go with it. I'll grab the T3PA three pedal set too when they finally get round to selling it over here.

    Well, to be fair if all you want is tyres that last forever and are quiet then I guess they're a good option. I'd rather walk, but each to their own.
  9. I don't often sell stuff on here, but when I do IT'S LIKE THE GREATEST THING EVAR!!!11 So here we have, for your perusal, the finest Xbox 360 steering wheel I've ever owned. It's seen me through some great days on Forza 2 and Forza 3, and yet is a Forza 4 virgin as I never got round to buying it. Behold, the wonder! Stunning, isn't it? Sadly I have cleaned it so there's no chance of you being able to clone me, but I can include a hair sample for the right price. On a more serious note, it still works perfectly and the force feedback is still smooth and pretty impressive for a wireless wheel. Sadly I no longer have the table clamp for it (tbh, it was a bit pants) so I guess you'll just have to treat yourself to my second item as well: One Wheelstand Pro, specifically designed for the Xbox 360 wireless wheel! Superb piece of kit, and possibly the greatest gaming gadget that doesn't have a wire I've ever bought. Fully adjustable for the perfect position regardless of sitting on a couch, a stool or a proper racing bucket. You can leave the wheel attached and still fold it up so you can keep it away from wifey when she starts moaning. All brackets included, including the two little white plastic bits that lock the wheel in place and always get lost (they're inside the duct tape, I'm not silly!), and all mechanisms move silky smooth. I'm after £95 for the pair, 'cos that's what my new WSP is costing me and I just want to cover that. P&P is extra, but I'll deliver if you're within a couple of hours of Braintree or you can collect or we can sort something out. I'll post if you want, but I've no idea how much. Tell you what, to keep it fair whatever the cost to ship is I'll go 50/50 with the buyer. 'Cos I'm nice like that. GO ON, TREAT YOURSELF! Insert generic pic of both bits with the ubiquitous sheet of paper right at the end because I kinda forgot to do a proper one when taking the first photos

    Best road tyres bar none.
  11. Sodding wheel is dead on arrival Thrustmaster to their credit though are sending me out a replacement one, and pre-paid instructions to send my current one back. Still very irritating though.
  12. And how is that anyone's fault but your own? You had a chance to review the documents before signing up, if you weren't happy with the cancellation refund policy then you could've gone with someone else. I agree it's a bit low, however that's not really something I'd be naming and shaming on the internet for tbh.
  13. I don't even need to brake for Eau Rouge, just a fraction of a lift and I'm good to go. No oomph on the Kemmel straight though
  14. He's seriously quick, no doubt. The trouble is that I prefer handling to power, which leaves my cars incredible through the corners but a bit gutless on the straights. That's fine with the Drivatars, but for the rivals it's just not good enough. Through the first section of Road Atlanta I can keep up and even start to catch Will, but on the straights he leaves me for dead. I'll try a power tune and see what happens.
  15. I'll have a look when I get home for you bud
  16. I run pretty much the same as you Will, except I use normal steering and manual without clutch. Looking forward to seeing how my times change (better or worse!) with a wheel and pedals.
  17. It does, yes. You can cut some corners of the track, or over run some marking lines, but you need to learn where the game will let you do this. The bottom of the Corckscrew at Laguna Seca is a good example.
  18. Nah, it's much lower than that: Mine's only C500 because I've tuned it.
  19. Any excursion from the track means a lap is counted as dirty, and not rated as highly as a clean lap, i.e. a 1:50.500 dirty lap would be marked as slower than a 1:55.333 clean lap.
  20. I took mine out for a blat yesterday, after fitting the FSB and also changing a duff O2 sensor. It's utterly superb, and having spent the previous day driving the 911 I'd forgotten just how much later you can brake in a car that weighs so little. Immense fun, I love it.
  21. I've assumed they're clean, but I'll make it clear in the first post
  22. Need to know what tyres and more importantly, what condition and age they are.
  23. I don't think they're anything alike, I believe 500PP is much higher than C500. M3 GTR in GT6 is 497pp stock, and that's way quicker than my sheddy little BRZ!
